Hi Has anyone got a good link or an example of a good Aussie style Resume - I have trawled lots of sites and there are so many variations. I have heard employers are particular in having an "Aussie Style Resume" over a "typical British one" so can anyone shed some light on what a Aussie one looks like? Thanks x

:no: I am shocked! That is horrendous!! I am actually lost for words for once.... Also to the OP I completely agree JV should never have been released the first time let alone again it is a disgrace!

Is that true? :no: that is horrific, I was deeply saddened and affected by that horrific tragedy, it still brings me to tears now.....to know that the current system would have prevented this makes me feel so sick.....oh those poor parents! That doc was amazing they are such wonderfully strong people!

Yes CowlingAFC you only need 60 points and you do not need to take the IELTS if you do not need extra points as they class a native british person with british passport as an equivalent to the score of 6 (0 points offered) - I hope you haven't wasted too much money and at least now you won't need to resist it if you have 60 points without the IELTS pass.

Hello Everyone I hope you are all well. I just want to work out things properly and I know the pay structure for WA etc and I am sure it is practically the same for most of Australia but I was wondering if anyone would care to share how much they actually earn? (PM if you prefer). The thing is, shift allowances etc are good and we all get paid for them, so I just wanted to know with an average shift allowance or average shifts (mix of nights, days, weekends etc) what do you take home per month? Thanks soooo much in advance to anyone who is able to help me. Jen

Thank you very much!

Congratulations how very exciting! I hope you find a great place to rent!

oh dear that does sound messy!!!

Well done for today and Good luck tomorrow!!! Look forward to hearing your results

When can you apply for citizenship is there a certain timeframe for it? Thanks in advance x

Brilliant thanks, I thought it was but had seen ADR or something somewhere on the skills list. I will send you an inbox if that is ok?

What is it that my husband actually has to do? He is a Carpenter and I have seen 2 different names of assessors etc that he has to do? could someone clarify what he has to do to confirm to WA that he is a carpenter and with whom? Also I have seen different numbers of assessments…..I thought I knew all this but I think I have been reading too much or it has changed! :nah: Thanks:cute:

Where in Dorset? If you don't manage a swap my sisters looking to rent in Dorset x

I have awful eyesight and have no option but to wear glasses or contacts BOOOOO!! big thumbs down! I am due to collect my new glasses tomorrow - I hate wearing glasses, haven't had new ones in years and the ones I wore as a kid I hated! So I wear contacts all the time! I am hoping to like my new glasses to give my eyes a break but have considered laser....would only go somewhere like Harley though and its about £10k so would eat out of the OZ fund a lot....hope you find some glasses that suit you - take your best friend or partner they're normally better than anyone at helping xx

Is there a list of occupations anywhere that state whether or not you have to have an IELTS before skills assessment? Thanks in advance for your help

I can't say I'm not gutted by the increases it will put our plans on the back burner for an extra year or two now but I hope we will still make it!! I can however see where they're coming from to a point

I pay £4.20 a pint in little west country town in England so \i can't see how it is only £4 in london and less elsewhere although I am pretty sure this thread wasn't about the price of beer haha

What is the difference between academic and general? We need to do an IELTS and I am unsure which one to book….I would also buy practice material for the right area for us (carpenter) Thanks x

ozpursuit - just seen you took your vetassess in June - does it take months to get result? I thought it would be quick.....better factor that into our schedule!! thanks for reference for the news even if I don't want to hear it :laugh:

Hi All :biggrin: Just wondered if people that have had police checks could tell me what is involved? How long does it take? Is it basically a CRB including the time frame or is it a lot quicker than that? Does it cost - if so how much? Also How long do the medicals take and where do you have them done? How much does it cost? Do children need medicals also? What timescale can you have police checks and meds done? Can it all be done in advance of EOI or is it something that has to be done upon invitation to apply? :wacko: Many thanks Jen

That is great - thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate it!

Oh how exciting for you....I hope it all works out and it seems what you have been offered is a reasonable wage - I just cannot believe how quickly your visa was processed! wow! I hope ours is as fast! x Good luck

Thank you so much guys for clearing all that up, I thought that was the "only" reason.... I think if we can get SS then that is the way to go as it is extra points and a better chance of getting our Visa!! Now to book the IELTS for Hubster to take arrrrrgh!! Sooooo exciting!! Thanks again I really appreciate your help!!
