<p><p>Hi Stacey. No I havent and for some reason I dont expect to. Dont feel they will take on alot of people over here</p></p>

<p> </p>

<p><p>Hi, I came across your post and was just wondering if having an HND hindered you at all when applying for jobs over there. I'm a civil engineer with 6 years experience working on civil projects and also have an HND as opposed to a degree. I am flying over around April to find work but I am just worried that employers won't recognise it as a qualification and therefore not employ me even though I have good professional experience. Any advice would be great.</p></p>

<p><p>Apologies for the delay. I havent been on here for a good few days. Im currently trying to get a job but no success so far. How about yourself? You setup with a job yet?</p></p>

<p>Cheers Chris,</p>

<p>Yeh, I have heard that Perth is booming. Seems to be a lot of Civil work related to mining also. Building roads in for all the mining traffic etc.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>If you have just applied for WA SS you should hear back by the middle of May as my agent advised there is a 6 week processing time then you can get your visa in straight away.</p>

<p>I'm just waiting to hear back from VETASSESS which should be within the next 4 weeks hopefully then I lodge my WA SS application. Time is tight but if all goes to plan I should be in Oz by next summer.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Cheers</p>

<p>Alright Chris,</p>

<p> </p>

<p>I hope your right about the IELTS but I'm seriously considering driving to London for the IELTS exams being held on the 16th April as if worst case scenario I don't get the required mark for the writing section then time is my enemy if I want to resit it early May.</p>

<p>I noticed you are a Construction Project Manager. I work in the same field. I am a Civil Engineer but work as a Site Sub agent on a large highways project. I need to get my visa through the route of Civil Engineering Technician as I only have an HND which is a pain on the a**e.</p>

<p>Well as you may land in WA before me you could be the man to seek advice from in regard to finding employment <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p>

<p>Cheers</p>
