Senior Travel Consultant seeking 457

[nanamc12]

Hi,
I am a senior travel consultant seeking a permanent move and 457 sponsorship.
There are numerous positions advertised with recruitment agents but they will not take an application unless you are a resident.

Could someone please let me know a)if any travel companies offer sponsorship and b)could put me in contact with either a travel company or recruitment company that may be able to assist.

Thanks :)

Hi
You could try approaching companys yourself, phoning is best , followed by e-mails, but e-mails do often go unanswered so dont take it personally.
The white pages on line should throw you a list of company names, id contact everyone you can find, to see if theyd be interested in sponsering you..
Good Luck

If you're looking for a permanent move, you really need to be thinking about getting a permanent visa, the 457 is just a work permit, with no guarantee of getting PR at the end of it.

Is Travel consultant considered a skill? I cant see it on the 457 occupations list so you cant be sponsored as a Travel consultant or even Senior Travel consultant.

142116 Travel Agency Manager is there alright, but like it says its a manager rather than consultant.
a) Are any of these positions for Travel Agency Managers?
b) Do you have management qualifications & experience?

Like RockDr says if you want to work as a travel consultant becoming a resident is the obvious answer.
