Getting into the mining industry in Oz
Hi,
I'm soon to finish a Masters in the UK and hope to find a way into the mining industry in Oz. I'm looking to get a metallurgical/processing position and there seem to be many advertised, especially in WA. The only problem being that all the vacancies advertised appear to be only for Australian/New Zealand nationals! Whats the best way around this? Is it easiest just to get out there and go from there with a one year work visa or is it possible to get something set up before I left?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers.
