First post, skilled worker
Hi All,
First time poster... so thanks in advance for talking the time to read and hopefully give some advice.
Me, my partner and our baby son (1 year old) and in the process of gathering information together to fill in our forms.
Me and my partner are both 29 (turn 30 in Oct and Sept). I work as a Sales and Applications Engineer (field based) for a Global Instrumentation manufacturer. I have been working there for approx 20 months. Previous roles are similar with different titles (Area Sales Engineer, Area Sales Manager etc) all in all I have 6 years external Sales Engineering experience. I have an indentured Mechanical Engineering Apprenticeship, along with College / University courses of BTEC ONC Mechanical Engineering, BTEC HNC Computer Aided Design, NVQ Level 2 (Engineering Manufacture) & 3 (Engineering Production. NVQ Key Skills Level 2 (Engineering Manufacture) and 3 (Technical Leadership). I am also an IQA Qualified Internal Auditor. I have numerous Sales Training Courses that companies have sent me on also. I dont have a degree!!
Is this sufficient to go for the Skilled Worker?
My Partner works part time as a Dental Nurse and Receptionist.
My Brother is a resident of Perth, if this helps.
Thanks again for taking the time to read, i know its a lot.
Many thanks,
Leejude

You may want to put this in the Immigration forum - there are a number of qualified people who go on there who may be able to point you in the right direction.

Re: First post, skilled worker
To the OP - the three countries you are looking at are very different - I would suggest a lot of research into the lifestyle etc as well as the migration rules.
