Depends what field you are looking at 
Look at http://www.mycareer.com.au

It's a bit slow at the moment not sure why, has been for a few months.

Hubby is a electro/mechanical engineer.
But with no mortgage over there I told him he could do anything he wants. I even suggested that he stays at home and I,ll work as Im an aus citizen I may get work quicker. He said NO.
Cheers

Both! You can't have a life style without a job unless your loaded and we are not. We are not skint but £60,000 will not last forever!
And I am a little young for retirement though I wish and I can't afford to not have a job.
I'm not a dole bludger in the UK and certainly do not want that in Oz!

I see Oz as a new start and I am willing to do anything jobwise without a huge mortgage the pressure is off having a big salary and a career.
I obviously read your post wrong as I thought you implied job as any job. I definately do not want to do what I do in the UK though I think it will be hard as it is specialised to the UK rail industry
