You are right, I received rejection letters within 10 minutes of sending my CV! they are not reading it for sure!

Thanks Faizalzone, very disappointing, the statistics you have on the drop of HR jobs... I hope I will manage to find something when I am there... @ Paul1Perth, thanks for the uplifting reply...

Than Thanks Michele, I had no idea they provide online courses in legal topics! very interesting... I will most probably undertake a couple of courses, it is reasonably priced! 55$ per course! Best regards

Hello Laura I assume these positions are located in Sydney... are there any similar positions open for hiring in WA? Thanks

Hey Ali They do not... but I try to customize my cover letter with every application to address the specific requirements of the job... I sent those questions to one of the agents who got back to me with a rejection, but I have not received an answer yet... I hope she will get back to me soon Thanks anyway

Hello Everyone; I have a couple of question hoping that someone can help... I am a HR Consultant with an experience of 10 years + a Masters degree... I obtained my PR back in July but started looking for a job recently, however, I keep on receiving the auto rejection email as soon as I send the application ( I do not think they are even looking into my resume!)... I am trying to find a job before I move to Perth and I mentioned in my cover letter that I can move there in 3-4 weeks upon signing an offer. 1- Am I wasting my time and should give up applying for jobs before I am in Perth? 2- Are there really opportunities for HR professionals with no local experience? I do not mind taking a few steps backward in my career, but would that help anyway?! 3- Would my chances be any better if I apply for jobs in other regions in WA? On a different note, what are the regulations and acts that I should familiarize myself with before I move to Perth? Are those regulations available somewhere online? Many thanks Alissar

Are you asking coz of the unrest taking place in Syria? I moved to a neighboring country for a couple of months till things hopefully calm down in Syria... Luckily I work for a multinational company, so it was possible to continue working from our branch at another country...

It is interesting how most comments focus on work-life balance, it seems like a serious problem in the US...

:yes: Yup! I am from the Middle East and that is why both the US and Australia are great places to be and definitely better than where I am right now, specially with the unrest that is taking place in the levant region currently... it is almost a civil war... But as long as I can make the move and have enough saving to support a new beginning somewhere decent, I need to decide on a country that provides a better future from a career perspective and a social security perspective, I would prefer a low crime rate, a family friendly environment and a growing economy... I seriously prefer Australia, specially after all the comments on my post here, I just felt that the US is a great place for a single person, but for a family and a secure future, it seems Australia is a better choice... As for Iraq and Iran war, it is one example... there is much more going on in this region and other parts of the world :wink: but that is ok! it is simply politics and we have to live with it... I honestly can not blame the US only for what is happening in the middle east, it is an underdeveloped region with very bad regimes ruling... if the middle east countries do not stand up for their rights and start working for the better, no one will help them... I have been to many countries in the Asia, Malaysia is a great example! they have come a long way in the last few decades and no one could stop them... It is our mentality here in the Middle East that should change not the super power of the world... although I would not mind a humanitarian super power :wink: Anyway, thanks for your post, it was really helpful... it sort of told me what i wanted to hear

Thanks Freckleface and Fiona

Hello again An advice I got from a friend is to take as many copies of documents as I can... as it might be difficult to find somewhere to print out or photocopy documtent as needed and might be expensive as well... From your experience, what documents will I need to have with me? copies or original? Thanks

Hello everyone I heard somewhere that I will need enough points to be able to rent in Perth, what is that supposed to mean? and how do I get these points? :huh: Thanks for the help

Thanks all for your help TBH, after thoroughly reading all your answers, i just feel that my heart goes for Australia it feels like the right place to a have a family... but i guess it will all come down to finding a job, i hope i will be able to find a job in Perth... @ surfndirt: as much as i love beer, but wine is still my number one drink therefore i guess Australia is the right choice for me unless i will move to california... right
