Looks like I won't be going, no IT in Victoria at all.
Already have the visa, so dont need to go to the other stands.

found it thanks!!

LOL you're right there!! What a letdown list!!!!
Heck.... we better get into the seminar as they're only letting 100 people in!
If not... I won't be happy!

What a load of crap. Did they actually cross reference peoples registrations prior to sending out invites! Luckily I can cancel hotel and travel, but what a letdown.

Simon.

perhaps the seminar will be worth goign?
i dont know...
here's me wondering how many cvs i need to take with me!! haha....
looks like NONE!

SimonG

There's only 100 spots for each seminar though, and they're letting in approx 300 people an hour. Hope you are one of the lucky ones, although it did say that even if you didn't get into one of the seminars you should still be able to speak to somebody from the government.

I'm also very disappointed.

I'm in IT, and hoping to head to Victoria.

I'm in London anyway on Saturday, so I might pop in "just in case", but I certainly wouldn't have bothered making a special journey for it.

I might go to the Expo at Olympia in April - perhaps that could be more useful?

I'm also in IT heading to Perth
Well, we'd already plan the trip this Sunday. Have to go via Oxford on Saturday, leave kids with family, then go to London Sunday. Not very far, but still, hectic day

Also in IT, also heading for Perth. Not a sizzling list of hot employment prospects, but since the train ticket's already booked...

Was really disappointed with the list too, I'm a hairdresser and not really sure why I was invited at all!! Any other Hairdressers going?? Have already paid for travel and cant get a refund so bit annoyed really. Not sure what the chances are of getting into the seminars either!! Going all the way and back from Devon on sunday and taking practically all day on the train - on my own - how depressing!

ice mocha

well, still trying to decide if worth going.. nothing booked we literally have to hop on the coach to get there... so, will see...

Gonnago

Think Dh is going to go anyway - their is one company there that would be of use, but about 250ks away from where we will be looking to go so not entirely sure.

I was really disappointed and wish they had released full details when they started, it seems more geared to people who havent even started the process yet, which is bizarre because Im sure they were preferring current applicants....

Oh well its only 30 mins on train for us and its a day out non the less.
