I think that maybe they should call it an expo for doctors nurses,teachers & engineers as thats all that seem to be there.

According to the initial invite email:
So I guess that some exhibitors must have ticked the right skill/location boxes for anyone who received the invite.

I'm still inclined to go - there's probably something to be learned, and there are a couple of recruitment agencies there at the very least. I'll be out in Perth in around a week anyway, so if there were to be some opportunity, I'd be able to follow it up. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, etc.

I'm in Perth after the Easter weekend doing the same thing! Got one interview lined up with an agency and hoping to get more - glad I'm not just relying on the Expo.

Does anyone know anything about the London Olympia expo on 12/13th April 2008? Is it any good? What can I expect?

chasmw

Yes, a holiday - but using it as an opportunity to speak to employers as well.

benlast

Same here - we have family there, family in the process of moving there and more family planning to move there. So it's a combination holiday and reccie trips, with added talking-to-agencies!

ice mocha

so i'm assuming when you get your visa, you wont be validating and come back, you'll just go and do the move straight away??

benlast

Ah, that's a whole several months away... who can say...

But yes, one of the reasons for going is so that we can make a more informed final decision whether to move and, if so, just do it. I know some people are happy to move halfway around the world to a country that they've never even visited: I'm not

LOL that's me!!
Not been to Perth, or anywhere in OZ for that matter. And we're going 175! ahhaha....

Hi. How many CV's are people planning on taking? Don't have a memory stick so it will have to be paper copies.

Hi Jorose,

My hubby is taking 2 paper copies, but we have got a memory stick as well though.

Take a look at the exhibitors list and see which ones are relevant to you, that way, you will have an idea of how many you will need, then add one more for a spare

Hi,

Just found this media release about the London Expo from the department of immigration. It just outlines what they are expecting from the Expo.

Thanks. I'll do a count then. I have 6 printed off so far with references & certificates so I will check I have enough. Good luck to everyone who is going.

Well, it's pretty quiet right now: just took a look at the queue before sitting down here in Starbucks to pass the time until my slot at 11:30 and there can't have been more than twenty people hanging around outside Australia House in a vague sort of line. And we Brits are usually so good at queueing too... Maybe it's just early, or it's a hum of activity inside. I'll find out in fifteen minutes or so.
