Who's going without a job??

Alet Viljoen · 02-07-2008, 09:52 AM

Hi all, me again...

We're trying to find out which visa to apply for if you dont have work in oz?
Thought we'll go over and look for work there?

We dont have R50 000 to pay a migration agent to help (unless i sell the house and car), and try to go as far as possible by doing it ourselves.

I have good admin experience (but no qualifications on paper) and a diploma in pre school and my oh is working at Telkom SA (communication company). Cant seem to find work on internet.

Any help?

I'm moving to Sydney alone, and without a job! lol I guess that sounds a bit crazy - but I know I'll meet lots of great people =)

I'm a recent university grad, with a major in journalism and minor in public relations. I'm currently working a great job as a communications and marketing specialist in Vancouver, Canada - and am hoping to get a similar PR job in Sydney. I joined an industry association there, and I was told there's quite a critical labour shortage (like everywhere), and finding a job may not be too difficult...I'm hoping ! =)

I'm not bothered with lining up anything until I get there....but then I can probably bludge off my parents if I have to.
