Seriously considering move to Perth. Looking for advice on working in Perth.
Hi, We are new to the site and we are both pleased we have stumbled across it.
I (Martin) am currently supervising a busy service dept in a car dealership, but i am a motor vehicle technician by trade. We are looking to move to Perth but know very little about how to do this. Any info regarding the move and particularly the best way to find work in the Automotive industry in Perth would be most useful. Please help!!
Hi & Welcome
I to am in the motor trade and we are moving to Perth hopfully. With regard to what jobs are out there i have just searched on web link . Jobs, Employment & Careers @ My Career & CareerOne
the PIO are a very freindly bunch & i am sure you will be able to find answers to all your questions.
Welcome! to POI! Apologies..............don't know too much about your trade BUT I can assure you there are peeps on here that do! They are all really helpful so just go for it and "post away" All the best!
Also, most good migration agents will give you 15 or 20 minutes of their time on the phone, free of charge and on a "no obligation" basis.
The following links may halp to get you started with asking some good Agents who will give you their honest opnions and know what they are talking about:
It is not obligatory to use an Agent. I'd say that about 50% do and the other 50% work things out by themselves and handle their own applications.
However I think that some chats with a couple of good, reliable Agents who can assess quickly which of the visas may be suitable for you tends to help you to narrow down your research, rather than wasting colossal amounts of time on trying to find your own way through a maze of research when you have no idea where to begin, even.
Thanks Guys, I appreciate your help with these links and advice, i am finding this site extremely helpful in working my way through the maze of information available.

Forgot to say there is a show on at Sandown this weekend dont know how close you are i've been before if you want to chat to agents & officials they were there previously.It gets very busy cost about £10 adult see ad i recieved below
Don’t miss Emigrate London this weekend at Sandown Racecourse (1-2 March)
If you have ever thought of starting a new life overseas don't miss Emigrate London this weekend, the only multi destination emigration show to visit the south-east this year. No matter what your current emigration status, a visit to the show could be an essential part of your plans towards an exciting new life abroad.
Meet long haul government officials, migration specialists and experts from around the world. Put your questions to our experts in a series of informative presentations/workshops and have a chance to win flights to your emigration destination with HIFX too.
Your show ticket also entitles you to: * Free overseas jobs paper * Free show guide * Free Emigrate magazine *
We were in Perth in January looking for a couple of cars for when we move there in June. Speaking to a lot of sales executives I would say that you will have no problems finding a good career in your chosen area of employment. The reason I say this is two fold; 1) there are hundreds of car showrooms in Perth, many being main dealers and 2) a large percentage of their employees, I would say 50%, are us Brits. Apparently they like us better as we have a good work ethic !!!!!
Good luck in all your future endeavours and keep us posted.

Thanks for for info on Sandown, we dont live a million miles away so might get along. I have also just received an invitation to Australian 'needs for skills' at Australian house this month following an email application so i'll keep you posted.
Interesting to receive your info on the car Dealerships in Perth, Ray.
By the sound of this it may not be too hard to find work. I currently work as a manager in the motor trade, and i am researching the cost of living against the earnings for my profession.
Sounds as though things are moving along fairly quickly for you so good luck.
Sorry, what's this expo at Australia house? how do you appy? i have been to their web site and found nothing.
You had to apply to attend on line at Department of Immigration and Citizenship.
Its at oz house on the 15th & 16th march.
Did involve filling in some history on yourself.
Ive had my invite back now i have to book my time slot when i can attend.
Hope this helps
Paul
