Smile Some advice re job for wife please

Hello

Ive been working in Melbourne since March and my wife and kids joined me in July. Now that kids are settled in school my wife has been looking for work - with lukewarm results. She worked in Accounts payable in uk - any tips would be much appreciated

Look at her getting some kind of local qualification, even if its just a certificate or diploma in that area from a TAFE. Employers like seeing those on resumes.

I had luck fining work in the finance sector of a university. Might be a good place to start.

Does she want to work part time or full time? What about location? City or would she prefer to be close to home. I don't think we're looking for anyone in AP at the moment, but I'm happy to check. I work for a law firm in the city.

I assume she has tried the agencies, etc.
