However, we are in Melbourne, but don't let that put you off!
Our aim is to atract and retain the best IT staff that we can. I can honestly say that they are the best company I have ever worked for and I can't see myself leaving for a long time yet!
If you are looking for work, my advise is to get your CV around the companies yourself, as in my experience the agencies are complete pants!
Seek is good, but you must expect to be doing that hard work looking for work yourself.
Recruitemnt agencies and estate agents work totally different here in my opinion - you get either here working as they do in the UK and the Aussies won't know what hit 'em!

Yes indeedy. Small world and all that. My Father in Law , who is Hong Kongese says Scots are the best bankers in the world. My Father who is Scots agrees
The new guy in charge of National is taking the typical Scots route of cutting everything to the bone. I'd prefer if he got rid of the ineffectual middle management.
Get me in for a week and I'd identify 100 middle managers who could be sacked. I have 50 names in my head already

Yeah I have only spoken to a couple of agencies deliberately - one has been very good (and I'm keeping my fingers crossed on something right now) and the other was pretty poor. I was offered a job yesterday but the money was crap and I wasn't happy with some other things. Got another interview with a large financial institution in the city Monday morning so something will come up. I only started looking proper last week really.
