JJ- we are doing this next week (our second time in the past 3 years)

we were in the same position as you - Dh's job wasnt an easy one to find but we decided enough was enough and we were going to do it wholeheartedly.

So the past 2-3 months we would pick coastal towns and we would contact ALL the businesses in the area that DH may be able to work for and said - we can coming down this week and would love to be able to come in and talk about work.

We got a few interviews here and there - none which panned out to anything

But then about a month ago we said - ok next town (north mid coast too lol) and we did the same thing, showed up for 3-4 days (DH had to take Annual leave for all this to happen).

And now he has a job and we move next week!

They were impressed at his dedication and work to find a job (rather than just sitting around waiting). And were excited we WANTED to live there not just looking for a job and would move to accomodation if that makes sense

SO i think if you WANT it go for it FULL ON!
