Hello all,

Apologies if this thread is in the wrong place, but I wanted to ask a few questions about working abroad.

I currently live in the UK and have been really thinking about starting a new life in a different country. I'm not 100% sure on where to go at the moment, I guess it depends what jobs are available to me. I have friends/family that have travelled to Australia/America and based on there opinion, I think these 2 countries would most appeal to me.

I'm currently working for a web development company in the UK, I have been with the company for nearly 5 years now and I will have a very good reference.

I have studied at college and university previous to this, so I have qualifications under my belt also (not quite a degree, I must add, I failed my last module and didn't get enough time to re-take my final year), I currently have a higher national diploma in IT.

I would be grateful if anyone can share there opinion on those countries that have a high demand for this job role.

As well, if you could give me an idea on where to look for jobs and also what steps I need to follow in order to apply for the job and be granted with a visa etc that would help allot!

If anyone can share there experience of moving from the UK to America / Australia or any other countries that would be great.

Thank you in advance

Marcus

Your first step needs to be visas - tbh, it doesn't sound like you'd qualify for a visa to the US from what you've said, so Oz may be your only option.

So look at that first, and then you can figure out the other side of things.

Good luck.

Marcus I would concentrate on getting to degree level.

What is your current job title and what exact level of work are you up to?

Do you have specific projects which indicate you can complete a project for a client from start to finish?

For Australia you need to review whether you would actually qualify for a visa. Have a good read of www.immi.gov.au
