Australia IT Jobs
Having a bit of a crazy time in the UK, and looking to drop everything and come to Australia. I will be arriving at the beginning of May.
I have two years solid experience using C#, ASP.NET and SQL Server. Will I be able to find work? I am budgeting for 1-2 months without any work. To get by I would consider working a bar job in the evenings. Sound good? I am most interested in going to Melbourne, but open to Brisbane and Sydney as I know they are all cool. Anyone have any ideas which place has the most demand for my skills? I think I can only qualify for a Working Holiday Visa and think this might be a restriction when finding work, although I would be cool with contracting. Any feedback would be great and I can supply a CV upon request. Kind regards, Lee Wilson |

Hi, I think (and I might be wrong here) that on a Working holiday visa, would you not be able to work in I.T. For what I understand, a working holiday visa, you cannot do jobs that is going to progress your career. I think the idea of this visa is to allow you to have an extended holiday within OZ and have jobs like (fruit picker etc) to mantain your stay.
Apart from 2 yrs with C#, do you have other experience? |

This may be obvious, but do you qualify for a skilled visa now? If you do, it might be worthwhile to apply for one rather than to go for a WHV. Once you go for an extended holiday on a visa like the WHV, it'll be very difficult to meet the recent work experience criterion for a skilled visa later on, if that's your ultimate goal. Peter |

Not at this moment. Just curious, are you in Technical Support ( Network Admin/ PC support etc) or in Programming or a mixture? Also are you under 30 years of age? ( if you are, I believe you qualify for a Workig Holiday Visa, which allows you to work 6months at any one employer...regardless of job type. Also have you considered applying for Permanent Residence ( skilled Migrant category?) ...it gives you great employment freedom and makes it easier for any aussie employer to hire you....even if you dont intend to stay in Australia forever....takes 6-9 months to apply for PR...
