Hi there,
Yes, I must agree with everyone - a very good post indeed. My family (me, wife and 2 girls) make the final move in May 2014 and we currently have everything in place like flights, temp accommodation, area we want to live and chose the ideal school for the kids during our June 13 recci. We will be emigrating without me having a job lined up, so this is my main concern as don't want to use all our savings.
I'm in the IT industry to, 15 years as Systems/Network Engineer and for the past 3 years I've been working in design/pre-sales/solutions architect role. I have heard many stories and read many threads about engineering jobs being in short supply. I do however check Seek every day and encouragingly there is lots of roles advertised for what I'm currently doing now. I did apply for a few roles in Dec 13 and the feedback received was I'm UK based with no emigration plan, plus employers wanted me in the country for interviews which I obviously couldn't commit to.
I too would be very interested to know what IT field you are in if you don't mind sharing this, and if you have any tips/advice for when I arrive in Melbourne when start the job hunting, that would be great.
Thanks,
Paul
