HI


Can anybody recommend an agency I can send my hubbies C.V to now, as we leave in four weeks and would like a head start in finding a job.

Thanks

In general, most agencies will not start anything until you actually arrive.

What part of Australia are you heading for ? and what line of work ?

Hi Mo,

From what I can make out (could be wrong), due to Oz Data Protection Laws, any details such as CV's are binned straight away unless the company intends to invite you for interview etc, unlike in the UK where your details will be kept for 6 months because of the UK Data Protection Act.
Like yourselves, I thought of sending my CV here there and everywhere without necessarily applying for an advertised position. This could be a waste of time.
Re agencies, I posted my details to TAD Technical Careers & Contracts, who specialise in various industry sectors including Building & Construction:

www.tad.com.au.

I did contact various other agencies, but TAD were the only one to acknowledge me and maintain any contact. Worth a try. I was contacted by Nikki Reeves at TAD:-

nreeves@tad.com.au

Hope this helps a little and best of luck with everything!!

Scott.

You can create a CV on something like www.seek.com.au where it is stored, and can be viewed by prospective employers, who then contact you if a job may suit you.

Personal identifying info is NOT shown to the CV viewers.

Thanks ABC Diamond, we will sort that today
