    Hi all,

    Like almost every other person left in Ireland Im thinking of making the move over to Oz or NZ. I have worked abroad before in Media jobs (video editing, broadcast etc) but wanted to know if many are available.

    My other question is about accommodation and lifestyle. Im not really down with doing the whole hostel and back packing vibe. Im sure its great fun and all but Im more suited to getting a job a decent apartment. How possible is this on a Working Holiday visa, will companies employe you, is living in apartment expensive?

    Any advise would be great. Many thanks.

    Yes companies will employ you, you can indeed get an apartment, but if you want a nice one you'll prob have to get a job first (would you rent your apartment to a non working foreign worker?)

    One cannot possibly answer the question "is living in an apartment expensive" as it is too vague. E.g. what type of apartment? studio? one bed, two bed? what location etc?
    I've seen studio's going for $300 a week, a 2 bed on northshore $370 per week, 2 bed in bronte for $520 pw .. etc, so unless you give details we can't help you

    but if you want close to eastern beaches (in sydney) then it will be expensive

    I presume you're going to be on a working holiday visa? If so then it will be difficult to get a job like that.

    I work in the media but only got the job because I'm a citizen.
