What to do next

[Jimbo]

I now have several opportunities to go at. A job in Saudi Arabia ( Job looks just what I want to do but not the place) Another offer to go to Afghanistan ( Don't like the job or the place) and finally I have a telephone interview for a job in Australia.

Can I see myself emigrating at 60. You bet your life I can. It also has the advantage of being a lot closer to Indonesia. The interview is at 6 am on the 28th local time so I will post the results tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Hi Jimbo..
I wish you luck.But may i know what is you job? My hubby is working in Saudi Arabia too .
He's been go and back for the last 8 years there.Is Saudi realy bad?
Will see what can we do in Bali in the future..

I am a project Manager in the construction Industry. The answer is difficult to say. Some place are good and some are not. There is also an element of danger due to extremism and social life is very limited.

Best ask your husband though because after 8 years he will know best.

So Jimbo, how did the telephone interview go?

[Jimbo]

Pretty Good. The next phase is a Psychometric test and if the results are OK then they will fly my wife and I to Australia for a look around and a final interview.

I had a chance to do a free test on line and my profile fits exactly my job description. Wish me luck!

Good luck, although moving to Australia would not be my choice. I'm working very hard on getting out of here as fast as possible. :P

In which part of Australia would you be located?

Hi Jimbo
Just a tip,,,Darwin (Aust) is booming and needs Construction/ Project/Admin/ Site foremen/ managers etc..
A $1 billion water front project is about to start, among many other new projects up here..
Only 2 hrs from Bali..

Darwin would be ideal. I once lived in Merauke in Irian Jaya which is about 45 minutes flight from Darwin. The company is located in Brisbane but has projects all over Oz and also Indonesia.

Will keep you updated when and If things happen.
