Re: The job market in Australia - a recruiters perspective
Hey SSC,
Great post.
Whats the job market in Brisbane like for a process/ industrial engineer with manufacturing/continuous improvement experience. Do you have any recruiters you could recommend.
Thanks

Re: The job market in Australia - a recruiters perspective
Hi SSC
What a really great and helpful post, and for answering all the questions!!
Unfortnately i've got a question for you as well-just to add to all the others! - i am a nurse, and have a job lined up, however my concern is for my hubby-he is a health and safety surveyor here in the uk. I know his occupation isn't on the CSL list, so i'm just really worried he will find it very difficult to find a job-what do you think? (by the way we are looking at heading to Perth)
Many thanks, Claire

Re: The job market in Australia - a recruiters perspective
Some of this work is being outsourced and is causing concern in the industry. At what stage are you in the visa process. Have you checked with a migration agent to see if you are eligible for PR?
As a starting point there is the Dental Technicians Association of Australia.
Also try this website www.ada.org.au
I have never recruited a dental technician so I'm unsure whether you would need to go through a registration process.
Sorry I can't be more helpful but I wouldn't want to give you an opinion that is not based on a knowledge of the market sector.
Here's a link to a postion in Victoria - http://www.dentaljobs.org.au/jobdetail.asp?jobid=40730
There is also an agency in Perth http://www.contactpointdental.com/
I hope this helps a little.

Re: The job market in Australia - a recruiters perspective
I work with an organisation that assists companies in Australia who are experiencing skills shortages. I am loathed to use the word recruitment because it seems no-one has a good word to say about recruiters.
Solutions we offer are upskilling (we work with TAFE), retention schemes, interstate and international recuriment.

Re: The job market in Australia - a recruiters perspective
No TAFE is state funded and operated. There has been a big push to support mature aged workers. Look at the Skillstech Australia website. Will you be on PR? If you're not on PR the fees will be higher.
As I mentioned getting skilled up in the renewable energy sector is a good long-term career option as is the aged care sector.
My dream is to buy a lottery ticket, win, retire and set up an animal sanctuary then I wouldn't have to worry about career options
Get a feel for the market when you arrive and take it from there.
