Starting out on this scary journey
HI to you all. Any help would be great. I'm at the beginning of what may turn out to be a very short journey. Im trying to match what i do with a job on the SOL for Australia. Im finding it difficult as my job has a long winded title 'client support & information management assistant' my OH is a 'problem manager' obviously these jobs aren't on the SOL but an agent recommended 'project or program administrator he read out the criterion and it sounded fairly positive. does anyone know if/where i can get the ASCO code job criterion? i know its not looking good but i have a 10 week old who needs to be in a safe and beautiful environment. my mum and dad are Oz citizens who can sponsor and live in an ok zone (canberra). does anyone have any suggestions as to where i should start. both my partner and i have degrees and i also have a diploma in holistic therapeutic massage. i get the impression (possible wrongly) the agents want to only deal with people who's job titles are straight forward i.e. hairdresser, office manager etc. or am i just kidding myself?

With sponsorship from your parents you may then be able to look at a subclass 176 Skilled Sponsored visa application, or (less preferably) a subclass 475 Skilled Regional Sponsored visa.
The key to this strategy will be ensuring your recent work experience is indeed in a skilled occupation to the satisfaction of a DIAC case officer, which means employment references/duty statements will need to be good.
Descriptors for all the ASCO Codes can be found by typing the ASCO Code into the Search box at this website:
www.abs.gov.au
If you would like to discuss further please feel able to telephone our office in Southampton: http://www.gomatilda.com/contact.cfm#ouroffices
I would ask for John Sylvester.
Hope this helps.

Hello Lucierainbow. Good luck with your efforts, stick with it. I note that Alan has posted in the thread. He guided our migration progress and did a great job. We live in a high risk country and my wife, who was the main applicant, also ran her own business (self employed) ... all this made the application a little more complicated. But we have our visas and look forward to a great future in Australia.
Cheers,
H.
