was going to use lesters to get the 457 and go through a agency to get the contract..
but looking at that i wont be able to do that now..
correct me if im wrong but the way i read it is that if you got a contract direct with the end company through lesters missing out the agency then thats ok.
but i think it would be near on impossible to find a contract without involving a agency..
had to wait a year to get a offer on my house so i took it anyway but the PR has taken much longer than i thought.(my own fault)
going to be another 6 months before i get it i reckon..

Hey guys, why is it that the UK market is so good for IT specialists where as the US and Australia is slowing down?
It is something for which I have always had some regret - instead of coming to Australia and working as a Professional Engineer I should have stayed in the SE of England and become a programmer. I have a graduate diploma in computer systems engineering along with other graduate stuff..

Bad news if you are on a 457 through a recruitment agency.

We are moving to Brisbane area end of Feb and my husband works in IT as a SWIFT/Unix/Financial type IT person. He's not expecting there to be many jobs in Brisbane as all the big banks are in Sydney/Melbourne.
