Ahh, to live in Sydney is one of the dreams of many people—and why not? Sydney is such a thriving city filled with endless possibilities. What is it with Sydney that attracts these people?
Sydney, Oh, Sydney
This state capital of New South Wales is also known as the most populous city in the entire continent of Australia. Located on the south-east coast, on the side of the Tasman Sea, it was reported to have reached the population of 4.6 million people in its metropolitan area alone. The Sydney people call themselves as “Sydneysiders” and are composed of multinational people.
Established in the year 1788 at Sydney Cove, this now one of the most influential cities. It was built on hills that surrounded Port Jackson, more popularly known as Sydney Harbour. This area is the home of the Sydney Opera House, its main landmark. Meanwhile, the outskirts of town are built with bays, rivers, inlets and beaches, the most famous of which is the Bondi and Manly beach. In the town proper, some of the most popular attractions are the Hyde Park and Royal Botanic Gardens.
Who wouldn’t want to live in this city? It has consistently ranked high in the world for “Quality of Life” criteria, thanks to its culture, way of life and entertainment.
Economic Growth: Check!
Sydney is known as the financial and economic hub of Australia, hence, its residents also enjoy the “World’s Second Highest Earnings”. Thus, recruitment in Sydney is very competitive and there are many job seekers all wanting to work and reside here. Most of the businesses in Sydney are involved in retail, manufacturing, health and other community services such as IT and even marketing. The Services and Information sectors in Sydney have witnessed dramatic growth in the past couple of decades. Sydney also houses the Australian Securities Exchange, Reserve Bank of Australia, as well over 90 banks and not less than 500 multinational corporations.
People Relations: Check!
Sydneysiders are known to be laid back as proven by one of the most famous expressions in the city “No worries, mate!” They are also dog-friendly and they even have café’s for dogs! The people are also known to be very “green” in such a way that they are always organized, have specific trash bins for their waste and are known to be hygienic. They are also fond of backyard barbecues which they love doing especially on Sunday afternoons. Wanting to dress-up drag? In Sydney, you will not be judged. You can walk down the streets wearing whatever you want and people will not treat you differently. Also, you might want to check that Sydneysiders are always sweet and call anybody “Darling”.

Thank you, Nic. Nic is a part-time blogger and has written this article when from Sydney while looking for a job and had faced many interviews. Finally I had a consultation with Trc Group who later got me a job in an IT Company.
