Update your CV maybe?
Always smile when making a phone call, the difference can heard in your voice.
Urm, I'm struggling here to be honest.

Been to LA... much prefer it here in Australia. Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide are pretty relaxed. Melbourne has a lot of culture and great restaurants... Sydney isn't my kind of town, but if you don't mind life at a hectic pace and what I call "plastic" people then you might like it.
LA has, um, "plastic" people, crime, gangs, celebrities and smog.
Also, the economy is better here than in the US
- Economy may be better, but the AUD is in the shit. Which is perfect if you're moving here.

I flew out from the UK out to Australia a couple of years ago. The aim initially was just to travel, but I found a great job at an agency in Sydney and ended up staying for close to two years.
I know there's a lot of competition between Sydney and Melbourne, and that people usually squabble over which is best, but I definitely found Sydney to be a good option if you're used to the busy work-life of London, yet want to head out to the beach at the weekend...
If only my folks lived out there, I'd probably have stayed.
Good luck matey.

melbourne has lots of smaller studios, sydney probably has more agencies. melbourne IS a better city. trust me - i'm not biased, i'm from tassie originally and sydney is a poop.
do a search here for aus studios/agencies, there's a huge list.
if you're work is good - you'll find work for sure. the industry is booming here IMHO.
- As much as I love forcetwelve, I've got to disagree on this one. Both cities have their +1senfocusmedia
- In Melbs, you can't head out to the beach after work in summer and surf for a couple of hours in boardies ;)enfocusmedia
- But Melbs has a way stronger 'creative' scene than Sydney... so the 'poop', er I mean choice is yours lolenfocusmedia
- and both cities are just a skip from eachother, so wherever you end up - you can just get on a plane and be in other city within two hour.ravi
- two hours.ravi

Not much happening here in Perth, the mining boom is winding down and people are still waiting for the downturn to hit. We do have awesome beaches but Id tip my hat towards Melbourne with Sydney as a close second for making a fresh start.
Melbourne definitely has a better arts scene, they put perspex panels over graffiti to protect it sometimes FFS!

Welshwizard - here's a list I compiled when I first moved to Sydney. 35 degrees here yesterday - the city is amazing in summer!

Good clients are also disappearing. Oh wait they were never really good anyway.

Hey tOki, I’ll be looking for freelance print-design work in the next few weeks. Shoot me an email if you’re looking.
Oh, and forget everything you know about me from QBN.
