Interview in just over a week!

Im getting a bit nervous now, I have an interview on the 5th of March for a panel beating job in Melbourne. Although I am pretty confident in my qualifications and my ability in my job I am feeling more nervous than I have for any other interview. I have a wife and 2 kids, a girl who is 2 years old and a 4 month old boy, we are a young family and we have always wanted to move to Aus and the oppertunity has come up for a sponsored visa which is a great help as we dont have to save quite as much money!

Do any of you who have made the move have hints and tips for the interview? I have done some research of the company who the interview is with and I have also researched the local areas and also general things about the country, Prime Minister, Population, Currency etc. I know that some will see this as pointless but I like to know about the company I might be working for and it makes me feel better that if they throw in a few questions about Aus or the local area of Melbourne I will be able to answer.

Well folks, wish me luck, I will let you all know as soon as possible.

Terry

Hi Terry

My husband is a panel beater/spray painter and he is going for an interview on 10 March in London with a company called Workforce Australia.

It would be great if you let us know how you get on and we wish you all the luck!
