Advice please
I have made the phonecall to get the ball rolling and i am waiting now to hear if i need to have a "skill assessment".
Im a Painter and Decorator by the way
a few questions...
i was looking for jobs and it seems unless you already live in OZ you cant apply
how does the skill assessment work? surely i dont arrive for an interview and they ask me to gloss the doors and window frames LOL.
i dont have any certificates or anything like that, i served an apprentiship and ive been doing it for 23 years since.
i was hoping to try and get a job and possibly a sponser, how do i go about this without coming over as a cheeky git. Obviously having a sponser is better because you have peace of mind that you have a job to go to and they cover your costs...
also, how much does it cost to move furniture on average from the UK to Australia?

You need to apply to the TRA for a skills assessment to enable you to apply for a visa. The TRA is probably the hardest bit of getting a visa. You'll find info here on what you need to do:

In some parts of Austalia you may need to hold a licence to work, more info at the bottom of this page: http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/occupati...or-4421-11.htm
I would presume that most painters and decorators would work for smaller firms who in reality won't be able to afford to offer this for you - I could be wrong though.
