Hi Nicki,

Myself and other half both had jobs to come to. I'm a nurse in mental health and emailed hospitals around the area I was thinking of living and expressed interest attatching my CV. I got a telephone interview and was offerred a position about 6 months before I arrived. My hubby applied for a job on seek.com, the company contacted him saying the position was for an immediate appointment but they liked his CV and could they keep it on file. A few months later they emailed enquiring if we had our visa - by then (October) we'd booked our flights for the January. OH had a telephone interview, and arranged to meet them when we arrived, 2 weeks after arriving he started work.

I'd find places to send your CV off to and put in an expression of interest, tell them if you've got your visa and when you hope to arrive, they may have positions coming up, or will keep you in mind. I'd say you've nothing lost trying to find a job in this waiting period at least it may provide you with a few contacts for when you get here and you can go and see them yourself.
