Hello Folks,
I was just looking out to reach the community in IT who landed safe.
How many people have got a job in IT after landing in Oz...?

Friends who reply can you mention your domain or area of work as well..

Time to repost again

The people you're aiming your post at are probably all sleeping soundly. You'll need to wait about 4 hours or so for a response.

I posted in the morning but I guess they were still
yeh may be after loads of work during those 5 working days...
Do people in Australia work that much :scared:

Thanks at least someone replied to my thread... I always post a new thread and I have to repost to get my thread on the top of the list and to get answers

Hey mister!

You know me: I've landed one before I go. We're leaving around the 11th of June. I work for a large American global company and are doing strategic IT management consulting. I know; fluffy words .. but essentially around IT Modernisation etc! Send me a pm if you are interested in details ..

Your first post was at 9.39pm Perth time (11.39pm Sydney), second post was at 1.18am Perth time (3.18am Sydney) - that is very early morning! Give it a bit of time for the non-night owls to awaken!

I guess the OP was working on the premise that die-hard IT people would be up all night surfing...

To answer the question, here in Melb, the 3 IT people I know who arrived around the same time as me all got jobs within a month. I got the first job I applied for. But then, we all have skills that are in the MODL 'hot' list, so maybe that helped....

Good luck!

Took me a while to figure out that personal contact and "networking" (urgh, horrible phrase, I prefer "talking") is the key. The agencies are just as useless as the UK.

Government jobs are a pain in the butt to apply for and can take an age to respond ... I got a rejection letter one day having been contacted by the boss the previous with an offer of some some unrelated contact work ... so, worth applying for all you see that's within your skill-set, basically.

The jobs are here but it ain't London so not as many and I don't think a new-arrival can be too picky on their first step on the ladder.

My skillset is 12 years commercial software engineering (C/C++/MFC/Unix) specialising recently in web-development (Java/Coldfusion/Dreamweaver) at the moment.

If you want any more pointers (hah! a hardcore geek joke) pandya_m then just holler.

Cheers,
Matt

Never seen the point myself. What's wrong with a variable?

Keep coding the payroll systems and leave the tricky stuff to the experts dude

If he's going for a C++ job, I don't think pointers would be good enough, he may need a few references.

Hey Mat(e)t,

Seeing the openings out there in Oz and looking at you I wonder do I have to change my profile from systems engineer to Web Engineer...
