RPL - How did your boss react?
The wife and I are longing to emigrate to Oz (Brisbane) and my current role comes under the IT Systems Manager in the MODL list. Problem is I don't have any official IT qualifications such as MCSE and by the time I have got these it would have been quicker for me to do the RPL route.
Question is, when you do the RPL you have to get references from you current employer, so how did your boss react when you told them? My company are currently going the same way as most UK companies and off-shoring everything to India, so I'm worried by asking them for references for RPL that I would jeopardize my job. Awkward.... |

But if you apply for a skilled visa and you are the main applicant, you would probably need a reference to show the 12 months recent work experience required?

Sorry I know, I just wondered how peoples bosses have reacted when they have said they are looking to emigrate. Do they take it well or have people been laid of as they know you are looking to leave.

Hi,
know the feeling, i have just informed my boss today, i was terrified, she handled it very well. It is hard as i was saying i may leave in 18months time or i might stay? I only hope it does not effect our relationship, early days good luck on your decision. Claire:) |

The MD of my husbands company , has gone in the huff since he found out hubby was wanting to emigrate. He always thought had a good relationship with him but now he knows he is planning to leave (if gets visa)he treats him not that great....He has worked there 10 years It certainly would have been easier had hubby not had to let them know until it actually happened. Thats life I guess. Anne |

Sorry to hear about the way your other half is being treated. I think mine will take it alright, but I think in the next quarter when the next round of redundancies are announced I think I will be on it. :(
So if you're planning to go to Australia wouldn't you be putting up your hand for a nice redundancy? Better entitlements than resignation and that job's not worth much to you on the other side of the planet. Cheers, George Lombard |

Re: RPL - How did your boss react?
Why tell him you're emigrating at all? If you need RPL, surely you can tell him it's going toward further education. My boss didn't know anything about why I asked for reference letters and statements of my duties. Just told him I was interested in looking into Uni courses.

Re: RPL - How did your boss react?
My hubby had to tell his boss because he needed ref for TRA also had he not told him he would have found out quite easily, there were lots of tell tale signs ie. house sold, living in rented flat, all our belongings in storage and oh yes the small problem of our kids going to school with some of his collegues kids. Unfortunately my kids could never have kept their mouths shut they are too excited about the whole thing.
I guess everyones circumstances are different and but in our case Honesty was best although at times he wishes hed said nothing. Its a tricky one Good Luck to anyone in this situ Anne |
