Electrician Down Under (i Wish)
[FONT=Comic Sans MS]HI ALL (NEW TO THIS)
I HAVE BEEN TO Perth 10 YEARS AGO (WE EMIGRATED) BUT HAD TO RETURN TO UK DUE TO FAMILY DISASTER, I NOW FIND MYSELF WITH THE MEANS AND DESIRE TO RETURN. I AM AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER (MANAGER AT THE MOMENT) I HAVE LET MY RESIDENTS VISA LAPS AND UNDERSTAND YOU CAN GET A RESIDENTS RETURN VISA , DOSE ANY ONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ???? ALSO I THINK IT WOULD BE WISE TO GET EITHER EMPLOYMENT BE FOR APPLYING OR A LETTER OF INTEREST OFFERING AN INTERVIEW AT LEAST. I HAVE LOOKED AT THE RECRUITMENT SITES AND IT SEEMS A BIT OF A MIND FIELD CAN ANY ONE HELP ???

There are loads of jobs there, and the resume can get you headhunted-if you tick the right box. I've actually just sent off a couple of "cold call" e-mails to companies asking for electricians and the replies, while not a binding job offer, did intimate that if i have the right quals. they could help with the migration process.
Good Luck

Hi
Yes - we visited energysafe in perth whilst we were there in april. As Steve hasn't done an apprenticeship, he needs to go through the TRA. I have been sent their application form, but have to wait for the visa to be granted as need to send this with the form. We'll start the process off before we go to try and cut down the time it takes when we arrive in perth. It seems a mine field - i just hope he's successful! It'll drive me to !!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a tip for you, write your resume (cv) using MS word, at the bottom of the last page of your resume, change the text to WHITE, and start typing key words that are relevant to what you are looking for, with it being white text on a white page you will not be able to read anything so be sure to spell everything correctly.
Now submit your resume on www.monster.com or www.monster.co.uk
Recruiters will search all of the resumes on monster.com using key words for the kind of people they are looking for, if you do this it will not be long before a recruiter contacts you.
