Hiya all, i was just wondering if any of you have worked at a particular job purley for the purposes of the visa. For example i am a train driver but i am working as a cook, which is my old RAF trade, for the visa. If any of you have done the same or similar, how long did you work up until? before going i mean.

Another way is enrolling in cookery course in Oz, gives work rights,
many course also include paid internship, and after 2 years you can
apply for residency, if you don't get snapped up and sponsored before
hand. We just placed at TAFE WA an Irish gentleman, 60 years old, no
qualifications, but good work experience. TAFE WA plan to encourage
him to become a hospitality teacher, just like EU's lifelong learning
policy but in Oz :) ciao Andrew www.aiec.biz
