I read a thread earlier that said there was no work in Perth. Does anyone know what the work situation is regarding air con/refridgeration eng (my hubby)?. If this is the case then we need to look at alternative areas, any suggestions?

Thanks

Shit Loads

Agreed, there's huge shortages of labour here. You might not get EXACTLY the job you want right away and might need to sit soe local tests or exams depending on your trade.

Why else are the going for a one off increase in skilled migration next year of 20,000?

my bro is an airconditioner. He says he's on 2k a week some weeks.

aircon/frigies are in very short supply. So much so i'm thinking of switching trades!

my partner whent out to Perth and never got a job in the 3 months he was there so he drove round to Melbourne now he as a job working in an internet company and got a house and he as only been there just 2 months everthing whent wronge could in Perth but not every 1 is the same

Hi,
There are three jobs in todays (saturday) West Australian for Air Con Technicians, dont listen to the "cant get a jobs" they probably couldnt get a job anywhere in the world. I've had so many job opportunities out here you wouldnt believe it.

aren't air con engineers on the most wanted list?

there's more work in Perth than you can shake a stick at.....

Plenty of work for roofers too!!

Perth has the lowest unemployment since 1981 !!

No work pa . I think Brian summed it up nicely

There's plenty of work, maybe not always exactly what you want, but there is definetly work!

Which thread was that then?!

Exactly, you have to come here with the attitude of "I'll shovel shit to put bread on the table till the job I want comes along"..

Just see the front of today's West Australian. There is over 5000 jobs available !!

If you look hard enough you will find something that suits you. Be preapred to graft every day on it.

I was just about to post that Warren

What jobs were they Stoney? Did you get offered because you already had experience in those area`s, or could they see that whatever experience you had in your `normal` job meant you could easily learn the jobs they were offering?

Reason I`m asking is because I`ve had 10 years digital tv transmission experience here in the UK, but there is no tv in Perth (except local news)... all the 24 transmission is done from Sydney (I could get a job at Foxtel but the whole point we`re moving back to Perth is to be near family again). The skills I could use are that I`m good with computers (can learn to use any practically any software), but I`m honestly worried I`ll end up in K-Mart or McDonalds after we get back in June.

How much does that pay then? I could do that....

you can shovel shit all day long, not sure of the pay, but I would have done it just to get by...
