What was it like?
Alright as far as your first day goes.
Did you feel like a fish out of water? very much so as they use different rules and regs out here for my job
Were people supportive?
yes very supportive. Was concerned that i had the immigrant status, but was told i was an import:laugh
How did you cope? I was ok, but kept thinking what was i doing there????
How long did it take to settle in? i didn't and walked after 3 days. Am now still looking for another after 3 months. Had one or two offers but nothing i felt comfortable with.
Hope this answers your queries.
