Hi, am looking to emigrate but need to know that we can afford to live in Oz and i have worked as a brickie for 17 yrs and will be applying for visa as brickie but have worked as contract manager for last year, don,t really want to go back on tools but am struggling to find out if my management qualifications i gained here will stand up in Oz and if they would consider me as have only been doing it a year! Came out for reccie at xmas as only time i could get a decent amount of time off but most building sites were closed and the few brickies i spoke to in Brisbane and Sydney area were saying $28 an hour which would not provide for a family of 4!! Any advice or websites with info on i may have overlooked would be gratefully appreciated!
