Excellent! I only read page 1 of the posts but great news!! Thanks.

Hey, felt sad reading your post. Been in your position in UK. Terrible feeling, made redundant after long career in IT and just felt my age was against me at 40 :-(

took me 9 months of trying, 400 job applications before giving up UK job search! I decided to focus my job search in Oz, 4 applications, 1 skype interview and haven't looked back!!

I was lucky to land work from uk (obtained 175 visa first) but once you're here you'll find work.

In Oz, there's an underlying "fair go" policy so age won't limit you in IT as the UK does.

Good luck.
