accommodation, share houses etc. in sydney city for next year (1 Viewer)

[alax dillon]

thinking about moving to the city after school next year for work.

i have relatives in western sydney, but in order to gain employment beneficial to my career, working in the city would be best.

i dont really want to live with relies for a year or two, cause the commute would be dreadful, but i am definitely keen on working in the city.

what do you guys know about accommodation, costs of living etc. in the city?

living in the city is obviously going to be quite expensive, you'd be better off living near a transport hub where you can get into the city quickly e.g. Ashfield/Burwood, Hurstville, Chatswood, etc.

Own room in the inner city is at a minimum $200pw plus bills, for a tiny room in an old building. In the actual CBD its more like $300 - $400.

Based on what I've seen Ashfield is the best value suburb with good access to the city.

why is it so important that you move to the city
what job are you after considering you have no qualifications yet etc

There are just way more jobs of every kind in the city. Unless your some sort of bogan tradie.

 

[zombie omie jay]

i would say there are more jobs for bogan tradies in the city too

Nah bro, its all office jobs, and there's not much construction going on atm.

Bogans generally hate the city. "The traffic is fucked mate, and there's no where to park me commodore, and there's all chinks everywhere, and faggots in suits."

 

[zombie omie jay]

by city i meant sydney as a whole so yeah

they are onto something, there are an awful lot of gooks in the city

 

[jennyfromdabloc]

gooks > bogans

 

[zombie omie jay]

Get outside the city... most restaurant in the city need a "really" experience position.. due to the busy nature of most restaurant...

Good place to try might be the outskirt near the city like bondi, burwood, ashfield and such... but a good place popping up right now is zetland..

Unless you really want to work in the city, you probably have to try asian restaurant but it might be good for you because you might be a asian idk? LOL

yeah but the thing is with an apprenticeship, if they hire a first year apprentice then theyre looking at their cheapest employee. fucking six bucks an hour or something, and theyd end up making so much profit theyd be rolling in the shit.

true. i suppose if it were a joint that were struggling to make a profit already then theyd probably want an apprentice moreso than qualified staff.

but see thats why you do a part time job in school, working in a kitchen, so that when you apply for an apprenticeship youre a foot in front of everyone else cause youre not completely retarded. plus a lot of first years just wash dishes most of the time....or so im told.....
