I'm hoping to get a job in Sydney?!, baby step's they say lol! wud love to hear from anyone who is going thru the same, or who has succeed?.

Hi Stela Have just got my TRA back positive, it is not nice waiting but it will be worth it.I did wonder if i had given enough but it was ok so try not to worry.It took 8 weeks so this gives you some idea, i,m hopefully going to Adelaide but there is work everywhere for us mere hairdressers Tracy

Hi Tracy.Thanks for the advice,at least Ive got some kind of idea,on the time frame, I hope ours comes back as quick!,Will let you know when i do. I watch a life down under all the time, it drive's my husband mad!can't wait to for it to go through looking fwd to working over there. Ive herd Adelaide is a grt place to live, i wish you lots of luck ; keep me posted how you go on

Hi Stela I now hog the computer and have watched everyone of a life down under.There is i sitcom called kath and kim which is based in Melbourne which is suppose to be good , not got into it yet.Why have you picked Sydney? Just being nosey .Tracy

HI Tracy. yeh,my best mate who is an ozzy.. watches it all the time,and thinks it's soo funny, so wil have to get in to it too!, who was your fav family in A L D U?.. The Singleton's were the only one's who didn't moan about Australia!.. The Russell's, boy she was bad to that poor Micheal! He needed a medal to put up with her and her two spoilt brats!!, but a good show to watch tho!. Regarding Sydney, its to do with my partner's job, but have to get Visa's validated first ...catch twenty two I'm afraid. Like i said my best friend lives in Brissy.. and is a hairdresser also,she says there are good jobs and lot's of work out there. What are you planning to do when you get to oz, regarding work? do you fancy getting your own salon.

Hi stela,

the next step is to fill out all the forms and include anything they say in it. Then there are the medicals and then the long wait. Congrats on your TRA but now the next step begins.

I wish you all the luck in the world with youe application
keep us posted

Hi Sue

I had a similar problem, the guy i worked for 5years, before i started on my own wouldn,t give me a reference.I tried the manageress aswell, but they never got back to me.So i gave up and did a stat. decarlation swearing i had worked there for the amount of time.I also got a couple of clients to put in their references that they had met me at this salon and had done their hair.Not sure if this helps but if there is anything esle just ask. Tracy

cheers tracy
if i think of anything else i will pm you.
