Unskilled labour?
 
Is there a place in Australia for people with no real work skills? Both my wife and I have worked for companies and have worked our way up to management level but i work in the gambling industry and her in a garden centre so neither of us have any skills other than people and management skills so id imagine if we made the move to Oz we would need to start all over again on the career ladder. We are only young so its not a problem for us.

But can we do this? My cousin moved there 6 months ago but he's a mechanic and had no problems finding work but what about the wife and I who have little in the way of formal qualifications or a skilled trade to find work.

Your help is much apreciated.

Before you decide to move to Oz, ring a Migration Agent (some one on here will point you in the right direction), and get your skills Assessed before you spend any money, it will cost you nothing.Good luck!

I think you need to do a lot more research! Are your skills in demand? If not you won't get a visa so can't move to Australia! ;)
