Hello
I have a time slot for the expo on Wednesday for Manchester in the morning, is anyone else going from here, and is it worth it?

Hi there
My hubby is going on Tuesday morning! Never been to one so don't know what to expect at all - hoping it'll give us a few contacts for jobs etc! Other than that, we're in the same boat, although we did get the floor plan and a list of exhibitors this arvo (trying out the lingo lol) so he's going to study it over the weekend and see what's what and who's who lol. We're trying to find an employer to sponsor us cause hubby doesn't have 'formal qualifications' - seems working his way up from the scrap heap means nothing
Good Luck for Wednesday, keep us up to date on how things go!
Michelle & Carl
Edited to say - whereabouts in Lancs are you ??

hello Michelle & Carl
This is my first time to one of these as well,It will good to talk to a representative from the Australian immigration and see how the land lies.
I got the floor plan today as well and will give a good going over to see the relevant bits for me.
Good luck for Tuesday hope all goes well and it will be good to read your feedback on here.

My sister got an invite and probably won't be going because none of the companies are recruiting in her area but they do seem to be looking at banking, health practitioners, engineers, miners, etc.
Also there's representation on applying for visas and states trying to persuade you that you really want to go there.
These are the representatives:
1 THE AUSTRALIAN CEMENT INDUSTRY (Engineering, Mining and Construction)
2 WOOD AND GRIEVE ENGINEERING (Engineering, Mining and Construction)
3 COBAR MANAGEMENT (Engineering, Mining and Construction)
4 COFFEY INTERNATIONAL (Engineering, Mining and Construction)
5 DARE SUTTON CLARKE (Engineering, Mining and Construction)
6 SINCLAIR KNIGHT MERZ (Engineering, Mining and Construction)
7 TAC PACIFIC (Engineering, Mining and Construction)
8 TENIX DEFENCE AEROSPACE (Engineering, Mining and Construction)
9 LEIGHTON CONTRACTORS (Engineering, Mining and Construction)
10 MACS ENGINEERING (Engineering, Mining and Construction)
11 McCONNELL DOWELL CORP LTD (Engineering, Mining and Construction)
12 PARSONS BRINCKERHOFF (Engineering, Mining and Construction)
13 PRODUCTION SERVICES NETWORK (Engineering, Mining and Construction)
14 RAIL CORPORATION (Trades)
15 AUSTRALIAN BRICK & BLOCKLAYING (Trades)
16 MURRAY SKILLED MIGRATION (General)
17 EDAW PTY LTD (Architecture and Town Planning)
18 SYDNEY & NEW SOUTH WALES (State Government)
19 CANON RESEARCH (CISRA) (IT)
20 LIVE IN CANBERRA (State Government)
21 IMMIGRATION SA (State Government)
22 QUEENSLAND DEPT OF HEALTH (State Government)
23 QUEENSLAND GOVERNMENT (State Government)
24 TAS DEPT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES (State Government)
25 LIVE IN VICTORIA (State Government)
26 TASMANIAN GOVERNMENT (State Government)
27 AUSTRALIA'S NORTHERN TERRITORY (State Government)
28 WA DEPT OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING (State Government)
29 WA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH (State Government)
30 WA LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION (State Government)
31 GOVERNMENT OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA (State Government)
32 AUST MEDICAL ASSOCIATION WA (Health)
33 RURAL WORKFORCE AGENCY VIC (Health)
34 RAMSAY HEALTHCARE (Health)
35 DALCROSS PRIVATE HOSPITAL (Health)
36 UNITING CARE HEALTH (Health)
37 ST JOHN OF GOD HOSPITAL (Health)
38 TRADES RECOGNITION AUSTRALIA (Commonwealth Government)
39 DIMA GENERAL SKILLED MIGRATION (Commonwealth Government)
40 DIMA SKILL MATCHING DATABASE (Commonwealth Government)
41 MIGRATION INSTITUTE OF AUSTRALIA (Peak Body)
42 COMMONWEALTH BANK OF AUSTRALIA (Finance)
43 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY WA (Peak Body)
44 WESTPAC BANKING CORPORATION (Finance)
The link is http://www.immi.gov.au/skillexpos/
Confusing because there is another expo which carries a charge where recruitment agents, moving companies, some employers (looking for nurses and engineers mainly), etc. hang out. I think that's in November but you don't need an invitation for it.
