“Australia is a country full of opportunities, but it is not El Dorado”

[bitheerani319]

Six years have passed since Patricia Utrilla, pregnant with her second child, decided to head to Sydney to spend more time with her family and herself. Since then, she has discovered a new way of life to which rcs data portugal has already adapted, although she still misses the people of Spain, the only ones with whom she manages to truly connect. Today, Patricia opens up to Adeccorientaempleo and tells us the best and worst things about living in Australia.

When did you decide to pack your bags and head to Australia? Why?
My husband and I decided to come to Australia in December 2010. I was four months pregnant with my second child, I felt overwhelmed at work (we both had very responsible jobs) and the sector in which he worked was beginning to be in crisis due to the lack of public investment. My husband heard from a former colleague that Australia was looking for engineers with his profile and, without much thought, we decided to send his CV. Within 10 days we had an offer on the table that we couldn't refuse, so we went ahead without realising what all this would entail.

He left in March 2011, but the children and I joined after the birth of the little one, as soon as we had the visa, which was in August of that same year.

What is life and people like in Sydney?
Australians are generally very polite and friendly, and as Sydney is a big city it is easy to find people who are open to other cultures. But don't forget that they are very Anglo-Saxon, which makes it a bit difficult to connect with them. Australians are very willing to have a coffee or a beer with you, but it is difficult to go any further in terms of friendship.
