just a mini "rant"
eeeeeeeeeeek!
checking email - finally one with the subject line "expression of interest" - heart jumped into my mouth and though - finally i get an invitation to apply! Open it - my case officer saying can i tell them what my current salary is!
aaaaaggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
why can't they just invite me!!!
I'm hoping beyond all hope that its all going to be ok - i earn a good wage - enough to meet the requirements for a Work to Residence Accredited Employer visa and I earn more than another friend who was granted residency as a Secretary (my job title is Personal Assistant).
My worries are because I haven't got lots of solid work experience as an actual Personal Assistant - i have done many a secretarial and admin job over the years but the last few years i have worked in more of a managerial job in property in the UK so although I have the skills - they are transferable skills rather than black and white cut and dry.
i'm crossing fingers, toes and everything else to hope they think its ok!!!!

Re: just a mini "rant"
Congrats!!!
You think you're going crazy over this, wait until your application has been submitted. You'll drive yourself up the wall!
Fantastic news
One thing I forgot with my references is that they had to be original or certified copies. I just got my old companies to scan them through to me and sent them but INZ had to come back and ask me to get them certified. Silly!

Re: just a mini "rant"
Thanks! and tell me about it - will be going bonkers i'm sure! I've got this far though so hopefully they have no reason to refuse me!
Yup - i got that it has to be originals - although a friend of mine managed to get away with scans - odd!!

Re: just a mini "rant"
FANKS!
Phew i know - but thankfully its all in hand.....references already requested and majority received back via email so originals on the way in the mail.
Passport photos to be taken tomorrow at K-Mart and then the police check can go off.
Got all the current work stuff already.
Medical will be booked once I get police cert back but I know where i'm going (same place i've been for the other TWO medicals!)
Mum has already sorted birth certificate so that just needs sending...and thats about it....seems almost too easy!
