Can anyone suggest a good company who uses Oracle and needs a hard working Contractor?? I have had some experience working with Oracle and am looking for work in Perth...I know this is a bit vague, but just wondered if anyone has any (sensible!) suggestions.

Hi,

I only know Oracle in Brisbane. I had an interview with them for a Java job there. I did not take that path because I already had an offer from another company which I took BUT they seem to be really desperate in the Brisbane office for a Senior Java J2EE etc. guy with lots of Oracle experience.

Hope this helps somehow.

Cheers,
Emil

I was a Tech Support Contractor on AS400's some time ago, gave up trying to get IT work in Perth as I was on the 457 visa. Having said that, AS400 is old now and not so widely used. There are a lot of I.T. agencies in Perth, perhaps you could check out the online White Pages for WA. Good luck.

Guys, thanks for the info. I think I used AS400 many moons ago! I have sent my CV off to loadsa agencies tonight, so fingers crossed!

Good luck to you
(And don't trust recruiters, go to the firms directly.)
