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

[jennyfromdabloc]

im looking to get an apprenticeship as a chef.

id be much better off finding an apprenticeship in the city rather than in a samll town where im at now.

plus it would be better for me career.

On apprentice chef wages, you'd be lucky to afford the nazi christian nuthouse.

True but it depend on what kind of restaurant it is... i have experience for 3-4 years because of my rent "Asian" restaurant but when i try a steakhouse as kitchen hand it was really really hard and frustrating but ya..

Ehh have you experience big rush where there ALOT of customers like daily... maybe seasonal such as summer season in south coast for example where there is ALOT of tourist//

four and a half grand takings in three hours was the busiest we got with about four people in the kitchen. but this is a small country town bistro mind you.

I work at a 5* hotel... there are 2 awesome apprentices working in the main restaurant

They don't have to wash dishes ('kitchenhand' is a completely separate job) and they get heaps of hours (restaurant is open about 16hrs a day)

I'd also suggest not applying to Asian restaurants (unless you can speak Mandarin, Hindi or Thai and don't mind unpaid overtime)

As to where to live... I doubt you'd be able to afford much around the inner-city.
Will you be eligible for any centrelink payments?

I agree with looking for sharehouses along the train lines, or maybe try tempe/marrickville (which has the cool young vibe of Newtown at a much cheaper price)

not sure about the centrelink payments.

probably not thinking about the asian places.

bankstown is not 2 hours to the city. More like 45 minutes from the station fool.

Problem is getting home at 1am

I don't foresee any problems with a naive, drunk young girl from the country taking the night-rider home to bankstown at 1am.

Um, that's completely normal in the city. Really on the better side, a lot of people travel much, much further than that every day.

Welcome to the real world.
