Abroad

Anyone ever done the window cleaning abroad?

Must admit i never noticed the state of the windows abroad before so can't comment but i suspect Belgium would be a terrible place to do it (whole streets of precisely the same height bushes and other precise bits).

In Belgium & France the windows open inwards so little or no need for domestic window cleaners. I guess they must have window cleaners for commercial buildings but I imagine this would be difficult to get into particularly if you don't have a grasp of the language.

no other way you can sneak in and do it outlane, the skills list in Australia makes me laugh you need this qualification and that and then they make you do their version and pay you less from what i know.

although if your travelling seems alright ( well was for a landscaper and Bricky i know).

My friend's brother-in-law moved to Spain 2 years ago but keeps up his window cleaning round in the highlands of Scotland.

Flies in once a month, works 6 days straight while staying with family/friends and heads home with enough dosh for the rest of the month.

Only way I could get back is if my other half got sponsored or applied for a skills visa but they don't really see her type of nursing as required unfortunately..she's a learning disability nurse and they are a bit behind the times with that
