Thread: Limiting Employment Search to "Regional" Areas

Must be an eastern states thing. I just checked, and I can still enter Kalgoorlie / Goldfields Region WA as I have always done.

Trouble is that more and more jobs advertised for this region are advertised as FIFO from Perth only.

Hello BMKai,

What job search engine do you use?

To experiment I just typed into Seek under their "Where" section and once Western Australia is typed in no other options come up. While typing in "Western" other options come up on screen (as per the attached image) but as the full term "Western Australia" is typed up these options stop.

Hi Lionel. I'm using SEEK. Try typing in "Kalgoorlie". Works for me.

have you tried speaking to a recruitment agent? whilst most would be city biased, i'm sure there would be someone who can assist in your search!?

good luck with the search!

Hello All,

Well there is now one application in for a diesel apprenticeship. Another one for with a different crew will be put in over the next couple of days. I am also applying for research jobs too.

I put in my application the links to the Federal Government's "Restart" programme...

The Restart wage subsidy is designed to help employers hire eligible mature age job seekers who are 50 years of age and over.

Employers can receive up to $10,000 (GST inclusive) over 12 months if they employ eligible mature age job seekers. From 1 January 2017 all wage subsidies are being improved https://www.employment.gov.au/restar...ture-workers-0

There are also some Australian Public Service jobs coming up that I can apply for too.

My new eyes (contact lenses) will be arriving in the post next week. Here is to a much better 2017. I am glad 2016 is over - the year of kicks to the guts.

Kind Regards
Lionel
