Re: Construction Workers
All the anecdotes on this site and all the information I hear informally is that work for tradies is drying up. The guys who have subbed for the same companies for years may get a little bit of protection, but everyone else is chasing less and less work.
Any tradie who comes out from the UK on a ETA on the 'hope' of picking up a sponsored job is kidding themselves - they would be better putting their money into lottery tickets. |

Re: Construction Workers
As previous posts have said you will find work if you know where to look, it may not be with the big boys or fantastic money but if your willing to give a go good luck to you.
Bitching and moaning does not help anybody life is to short. Good luck to you all which ever path you chose. |

Bitching and moaning does not help anybody life is to short. Good luck to you all which ever path you chose. When you relocate to a new country it's an emotional roller coaster.Situation's which you may normally cope with on your own turf can become major hurdles when your in a unfamiliar environment. In my particular case I came here in 89 there was no building work,I couldn't get a job for the life of me.I worked as a labourer in a factory for less than a third of what I used to earn.Over a period of 7 years I worked my way through 3 or 4 menial jobs.I never worked on my tools as a carpenter.I moved to Melbourne, where I've lived for last 13 years,working as a carpenter.I'm busy and earning very good money and in the fortunate position of being able to turn work down . I have a network of contacts who know my work.Building is slowing up and work becoming harder to get. An Aussie or people like myself will get first dibs over someone just off the boat.That's nothing new,it's the world over.I've done the hard yards to get where I am.Just be aware that the grass is not fluro green over here. People who have made the decision to move will do so regardless of any advice given.Just be prepared for a possible bumpy ride. Hope all your dreams come true |
