Hi guys.

Question 1.

Are there any Civil Engineers (Road Maintenance) out there please? After reading the previous postings regarding employers' attitudes to "no Australian experience", I was wondering if any Civil Engineers found the same problem regarding employers or agencies.

Question 2.

When wishing to build or buy a home early on, is there much grief regarding getting a mortgage with having no Australian credit history?

Thanks a lot. Any advice will be much appreciated.

The area of finance I work in is a creditline lending up $10,000 only. They wont consider anyone just arrived in the country.
I would say maybe the banks work differently going by other posts I have seen on here and no doubt someone else who has gone through the same thing as you will be able to provide more innfo than me.
Maybe get a bank credit card and or a store card from one of the big retailers to get the ball rolling.

A word of warning if you should get involved in the buy now pay later finance ( type of stuff I deal with) READ THE SMALL PRINT. If these things are not paid out within the interest free period you will be paying about 27.5% interest.
