Anyone know where to get work on Gold Coast?
Hi
I have arrived in Australia and am staying in the Gold Coast area. Im currently looking for work as either a trade assistant or electricians mate as I am still waiting on a reply from TRA. If anyone knows anywhere I can try, please let me know.
Also, how long should the ARTC take? I am tracking it online and they recieved it on 14th October but I still havnt had a reply.
Cheers
Jon

They say most applications are finalised within 30 working days.
Mine was received on 13 October, so lets hope we both receive good news soon...

Re: Anyone know where to get work on Gold Coast?
Just looked today. It now says Awaiting Assesment (Electrical Fitter) and a finalisation date of todays date. I hope this is good news. I did apply for Electrical Mechanic but I think due to doing factory maintenance, they changed it to Fitter.
Does anyone know the next stage and could I still have to do an interview or practical assesment?
Eriks - Any news on yours?

TRA question?
Right, still waiting for an outcome from TRA. It still says finalisation date 17/11/2010 and the status is Awaiting Assessment (Electrical Fitter). I did apply for electrical mechanic but this came up.
Does anyone know if this is usual and have I been successful or are they still assessing? I just want to know because I have an interview tomorrow and they require Trade recognition so am unsure what to say.
Cheers
