Carrie Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hey there!Hubby and I are doing our LSD (or should I say LS as the decision has already been made!) next month. As we will only be in Perth for 3 days we need to be very organised. I'm looking for tips and ideas from the SAfers as to what would be a 'must' to see or do? My hubby is an Electrical Engineer so we would also like to find out about job / business opportunities.Any input would be greatly appreciated.Thanks guys!

Overtaker Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 all I can say is: plenty plenty jobs... you shouldn't have to pick the first one you come across...Rio, BHP, Worley, TWP, GHD, Engenium, Evans&Peck, ProMet, SNC Lavelin, Hatch... the list goes on... Google them all, contact them all, they'll probably all want to speak to you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchy Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 HiMy husband is also an electrical engineer, working in the field of systems engineering and control systems. There are lots of companies. Depending what your husband does, it pays to contact the right companies. Smaller companies might sponsor you quicker than the ones like Rio Tinto etc, because there, you are just a CV on the HR persons desk. We had no response from those companies. If your husband is also in the systems and controls business, contact me, see what we can do. I am also willing to help out with your LSD, maybe meeting you or something. PM me if you are interested. Theres lots to do in Perth, depends on what your interests are.Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
