Australian Expo 2008 - Manchester??
Hi,
I'm sure I saw an advert somewhere for an Australian Expo to be held in various places, including Manchester at the old GMEX on 2nd March 2008, but I can't find it anywhere.
The expo website http://www.expo-australia.com/about_the_expo.aspx now doesn't have Manchester listed?
Does anybody know if it's been cancelled??

Just having a nosey myself, doesn't look like Manchester is on there.
Although, I am considering going to the Leeds one, sorry to pinch the lime light but has anyone ever been to one of these ? Are they any good ?
Cheers

My husband and I went to the manchester one in october 2007
We wnet on the Saturday had to go back on the tuesday for an interview
Got a job offer when the company arrived back in Oz.
Just waiting for visa so we can go.

Oh my god, a job offer, thats great.
Did you tell them you wanted to move to a particular area or did you just get the job and moved to that location ?

We attended the London expo and to be honest we were done in under two hours.
There were only a few companies/agencies that were recruiting IT people (Hubbies occupation) however he has gone through several rounds of telephone interviews with one company and they have just told him they are putting together a formal offer and would like him/us over there by mid 2008!
It was useful for us but it depends very much on your job...if you were a nurse or an engineer then every second stand wanted you! Equally there was good info regarding banks & shipping companies.
I guess it all comes down to what you are expecting - we have been pleasantly surprised :-)

I cannot recommend it as I have never been to this particular Expo before - maybe someone out there has and can say if it’s worth it or not.
I intend to go myself as I found last year’s Opportunities Australia Expo quite useful.
If there are any other Ausy Expo's out there free or otherwise - it would be nice to here about them...
