Re: joiner sponser
I am 43 and a joiner. I went on the internet on the Australian yellow pages and got addresses for 18 companies all over Australia. I did not send emails as I thought it was too easy to delete emails so I sent letters with my email address on if they wished to reply by email. Within 4 weeks I had 4 good replies , one offering immediate sponsorship (which I took ) , the others offering sponsorship once I had done the test.I am now doing my vettesses test in july after passing the paper based assesment and my agent thinks if all goes well I could have a visa by November. It's a long slow process and so far we have spent over £2000 but we can see the light shining at the end of the tunnel and glad we are sticking with it. Start writing and you won't regret it.
Any questions and I will be happy to help if I can
Paul
