<p><p>good luck with the interview.</p></p>

<p><p>Hi Tracy, sorry Stacey (don't know where I got Stacey from), Thanks i've already tried BGC but they are a civils and mining company, my background is more commercial/industrial than civils. How did your NZ move go?</p></p>

<p> </p>

<p><p>Hi Tracy, got through to the third interview and I thought it was a certainty I was going to be offered the role but heard nothing and that was weeks ago, bit depressing. I am reconsidering the whole thing to be honest, I've applied for loads of jobs with no response, can't get the house sold and I am wary about quitting a decent job with no prospects of getting a similar role in Australia. I am going to give it a month and if the house sale and job prospects are still looking the same then I think we will just knuckle down with life here.</p></p>

<p><p>How did your potential move to NZ go?</p></p>

<p> </p>

<p><p>I was the same first time around I only got 7.5 in reading. I done dozens of practice test and what i found that worked was to underline the sections of the questions and do the same with the text. This helped me establish what response to submit, think it helped as my practice results got better and I ultimatley got over 8 in the test. Hope things go well.</p></p>

<p><p>Wish it was me, it's wet and cold up here on the Shetlands, how did your interview go? The time will fly by and before you know it you will be in the sun.</p></p>

<p><p>Hi Davehow did your interview go last week?</p></p>

<p><p>Sorry don't know anything about the ENKA course? Whats it for? Hows your IELTS going?</p></p>

<p> </p>

<p><p>Had to split my message due to size. </p></p>

<p><p>I haven't been applying for jobs yet been waiting for the visa to be approved first, but I have been tol it is not easy to get a job from the UK so I have decided it might mean that I wil need to go out for a few weeks but need to get the visa first.</p></p>

<p><p>I used an agent as I was tight on time (turn 45 this March) and things have went very quick and I think the agent has helped I would use one, we used Ian Harrop especially with the new changes in July as this will slow the whole process down greatly. The whole process has cost us about £6K so far. Good Luck</p></p>

<p><p>Hi Skippy I applied for a building Associate as well, oiginally I was going to apply as a project manager but you need a degree to apply as a PM. It took bout 8 weeks for my Vettasses application to go through and about 4 weeks to get all the info organised (wage slips, letters from employers etc etc), this was quicker than normal as it takes about 12 weeks normally. The Ielts are awkward but I managed to get all 8's at the second attempt, do loads of practice tests and I also took a few lessons from an IELTS teacher on the writting section, search for a thread on PIO titled I''ELTS 22nd October'' you will find loads ofinfo you can download that are a great help.</p></p>

<p><p>I've done a search on them, they are a large company so I'll be nipping down and here's hoping.</p></p>

<p><p>Hi Stacey, I know you have mentioned on posts that your OH is a machine operator? I assume you have noticed the advert in todays Record looking for Earth Work Operators? They have an open day at the Malmaison next Saturday.</p></p>
