Temp visa- Job prospects
Hi - I've recently got my prospective Marriage Visa granted (Yippee). So now I'm not worrying about that anymore, something else has soon taken it's place - Is anyone going to want to hire me when I'm on a temp visa for 9 months, then a temp spouse visa for another 2 years until I can get PR. I'm interested in the travel/tourism sector, but worried that they will overlook me as I'm a temp resident! 
Anyone else been on a temp visa and snapped up a job easily?
Please help.

I don't think it will be a problem. Once you are married to an Aussie people will assume you are staying in OZ. We hired a girl where I worked once on the same visa for a permanent position and I know before that she had no trouble getting a lot of good temping jobs. This was Sydney though.

I had no hassles getting a job, my only problem is that I couldn't (and still can't) get a perm job with the govt due to my visa not saying "permanent" Got a temporary one though and have been on temp contracts for 2 years now.
