Hi

Seems to be a similar response most of the time 'when are you going to be in Oz?'; I think I read that on another thread earlier today as well.

I started by targeting companies specific to my job with the replies ranging from 'When are you...' to mostly no reply at all. I then started registering with the online job sites Seek, mycareer etc. as they have you believe you'll get a job in no time at all.....haven't had one response from any of them. Next the recruitment agencies which, in the main, replied back but with the same old story 'When...' or just quote that they aren't able to sponsor since the rules were changed even though I wasn't asking them to.

I have now been sending emails to all the large companies and am just working my way through the companies on whoshiring.com.au. I've had a couple of replies which I've also heard tens of times before 'We'll put you on file in case something comes up'. I've so far collected 300+ replies and counting.

I think this is the stage you start to wonder if it will ever happen.

There seem to be hundreds of vacancies but no-ones willing to sponsor, or so it seems; the only other thing is to visit Oz , which would be fine if it was guaranteed.
