Re: A question for IT professionals
Thats wonderful about the pay in Melbourne! :)
I am an ASP.Net web developer, graduate in Computer Science. And in a process of getting my MCTS Certification in Asp.Net Technology. Planning to go to Melbourne with no contacts, no references in Melbourne and of course no Australian experience (as it is just my first time going to Australia). Do you think I stand any good chance with the qualifications and education that I have? :confused: |
Re: A question for IT professionals
On the subject of IT jobs; I am a senior developer with some 9+ years experience of mostly embedded C - but the last couple of years I have performed a significant amount of Java development in all tiers of multi-tier host applications. I'd like to continue with the Java, but obviously I want the best starting wage possible when I emigrate this August. Which offers the better money, and which has more chance of finding employment quickly - Java or embedded C? I'd appreciate everyones thoughts and opinions.
Regards, Dazster |

Dear IvanM,
Could you please reply to my post I posted earlier. I would really appreciate! I am really planning to move to Sydney once I get my PR. I wrote more details in my previous post. Thanks! :)

In Syd, Bris and Melbourne there are plenty at the moment. Pay depends on experience and industry. Perth isn't doing too bad either.

Thanks! :) If you communicate well, have good experience in the UK and references you will not have a problem getting a job. Local references help but you can build those up with contracting. Good luck. |

Regards, Dazster Plenty of java work although C# seems to be getting the upper hand now in the enterprise now. My previous comments apply - you may need to 'step down' the ladder for 6 months or so, but after that it's full steam ahead. p.s. Wait until you are here THEN apply for jobs - most agencies or employers won't want to know until you are in-country. |

I've been thinking of moving to Melbourne, or any place by the sea where there's more Sun and less rain than in Ireland. :) Looking for a place with best balance of jobs opportunities and quality of living. Open to all suggestions. Is the MCPD: Enterprise Applications Developer cert helpful when it comes to job search over there.(With good few years of development experience, of course) Do you think I would have better chances in Auckland than in OZ? Thanks. One word of warning - the agencies here are 100% muppets. Try and get a direct job if possible. As for the certificate, I don't know - I personally think they mean nothing, it's experience that counts, but it will not do any harm. Honestly, don't worry about it. If you can prove your experience and skill-set, you will be laughing. |
Re: A question for IT professionals
Hi, I moved to Australia last year and work in IT. I started applying for jobs in Sydney before I came over and had telephone interviews with two companies whilst still in UK. The companies arranged interviews for me a couple of days after I arrived and I was offered both jobs after only being in the country for a few days ... then I had to start work that week!
I work for one of the large Australian banks and they did my reference checks after I started work. The important thing is to have a good CV, be well prepared for your interviews and sell yourself and your experience. Best of luck :) |
