Hello

Could anyone help me, what is the Uk qualification needed for this job. Its on the SOL list.
I have done searches etc, but i can not find the info i need, so i was wondering if anyone on here would know.

Many thanks

At first I thought you were joking, and I had to look it up myself.

It is on the SOL list,
ASCO Code 3293-15
40 points
SOL = Yes
ENSOL = No

And the occupation may be nominated under the Employer Nomination Scheme but not under the General Skilled Migration categories.

My amazement is due to the high number of Real Estate salespeople who are short of work these days.

In my area, some figures from the local Real Estate agencies show sales for the last 6 months at 16 and 11, for what I would class as the top two agencies.

That is:
16 homes reported sold in the postcode 4165 (last 6 months)
and
11 homes reported sold in the postcode 4165 (last 6 months)

That is an average of one sale per week, combining both agencies.
Not much appears to be moving.

Useful - how did you find the total sales by postcode, do you have a link?

The List is nonsense IMO, it has so many trades on it, we know hundreds of aussie tradies, bris and melbourne and all are scratching for work, yet list says shortage, it also said travel agents I mean come on, it has to be a joke.

I have to say I am amazed that either an estate agent or a travel agent should even need qualification, since I would have thought most of it was taught after you join. What is there to learn - most of the agents I have ever dealt with have been muppets yet seem to earn loads by cirtue of the fact they are in a job that will generally always have demand with high margins.

I though the uk qualification was ex-double glazing salesman.

I agree, I applied 8 or so years ago when my IT skills were on the MODL list despite the dot.com crash that was in the process of unfolding. There was one hell of a lag before those skills dropped off the list, at least a year.
