knx 2007
1. can get by without a car, get a mountain bike or scooter. bout 3km from town centre
2. $20 /nite at backpackers, try organise to come up with someone else and rent an onsite caravan in any of the caravan parks for $140/week. makes it alot cheaper.
3. If you don't want to fly aeroplanes there is work in any indsutry with any business in town. walked into town on friday afternoon, had a job on saturday morning at first place i walked into and started monday. know of others who walked into a business and were asked if they could start 1hr later.
4. April/May too late, need to get to knx as early as possible...late jan early feb. Be known by those that matter. frequent the pubs in town and go to see both operators every week. employment comes due to word of mouth more than anything. get dressed up. you would be suprised at the number of people who turn up wanting an interview wearing boardies, thongs and old t-shirt...didn't even get to see the cp.
5. both full time salaried as far as i know. conditions are pretty good but as delta said "beware ole ankle grabs". not many places better. most bad reports you will hear are from people who were not given a job and had to move on. social life is excellent!
hope to see you in knx next year!
