Hoping someone is able to help me out and offer advice! Little bit of a different topic. So I've been over to Australia a couple of times and fell in love with it. And in typical British fashion, would love to up sticks and move there. I've got quite a lot of close family friends and school friends who live out there so luckily I wouldn't be completely alone over there. I'm currently studying a Masters in Professional Acting in London and for the last year, I have been contemplating moving after I have graduated. It's now or never right? But my main concern is my career choice. I'm well aware that the acting industry is tough and very competitive no matter where you are - however I was wondering if anybody on here knows a thing or two about the Acting Industry over in Australia - specifically Sydney, or even Melbourne? If so, I have a couple of questions. What is the industry like? Is it a good place to be for a career in Acting? How tough is getting an agent? And are the agencies good out there in terms of getting you auditions? Do you get many opportunities in terms of Film & TV? Is it possible to get representation if only on a Working Holiday Visa? Do they offer opportunities to audition for US TV shows & Films? Any advice would be amazing!! Would massively appreciate it as it is hard to find advice on this through google. Thank you, Zoe

Hi all, Just after some advice from those of you who have any experience within the mining industry..... Hubby has been granted WA SS 176 back in Feb & is flying to Perth later this week. He saw few adverts for Chefs positions within the mining industry and this is something he would like to look into when he gets there. Does anyone have any experience working within the mining industry? What is it like? Are these jobs popular and therefore difficult to get? Hubby's been in the british army for 22 years and recently came back from Afghanistan so he is used to hostile and remote environments. Failing that, are there plenty of jobs for chefs in Perth? We looked on seek.com.au and there seems to be a lot but I always take these with a pinch of salt. Any advice on either mining chef positions or just normal chef position would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

A major problem today is that the media and the blogosphere are dominated by the 1 percent. The 1 percent control everything, and they control the news that they drip fed to the masses, to the 99 percent. It was revealed recently that the Australian real estate industry actually pays shills and spruikers to 'talk up' property on forums and blogs (yes even blogs like this one) to plant positive spin, to post as if they are one of the 99 percent when in fact they are the 1% pretending to be a normal blogger. Watch this for evidence, it includes a video that Bernard Salt probably wishes was never recorded: On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog, or a paid property spruiker Are your eyes open yet people? Don't believe what you read, anywhere. The problem is the 99 percent don't read blogs like this. They don't find out the truth. So pass this on, pass the message on to everyone. Tell your friends what's happening. Make them read this article. Make then watch the Bernard Salt video (he's a public figure, they might have heard of him, they might listen to his scheme and revolt against it). Above all, remember, the 99 percent are fed lies by the 1 percent and this is a huge obstacle we must overcome. But in time, the truth must come out. It always does. We are the 99 percent.

Hi All, We are delighted to have just received our visas (PR sub class 175). However, like many I guess, are waiting on the sale of our house; letting it is the likely outcome. I am security technician (CCTV & Access) and would welcome feedback from anyone in the industry, particularly from Perth or Melbourne. (We are pretty much open minded on our destination at the moment). I am interested to find out the practicalities of obtaining the ACA open license. Thanks very much.

my partner and I are just starting the process of emigrating. He is a fabricator/welder and i am currently working as an analytical chemist. Is there any particular part of the country we would be best looking into Perth has been mentioned but im not sure if its got much of a chemical industry. Any help much apprecaited

Hello :biggrin: Just looking for a bit of advice/help please.... I've been offered a job working for a company in Sydney starting in September this year. I will be coming on a 457 sponsorship visa with my partner having the same conditions on a spouse visa. He has worked in the UK in the betting industry as a shop manager/relief manager for the past 10 years and this is the only real experience that he has. What are the job prospects over there for people seeking work in the betting industry? I have heard that there are loads of TAB betting shops in bars/hotels over there. Does anyone know how you would go about applying for this type of job? He is hoping to line up interviews or a job before we go but I'm not 100% about how to do this from the UK. We have also heard that the UK betting industry is well respected over there so shouldnt struggle to get a job - but this could be hearsay. Also does anyone know roughly what salary level he could expect in this type of role?? Thanks!!!

I am looking (hoping) to come out to Oz asap with my wife. I currently work within the water industry (asset maintenance) and have previous experience in leakage. I am finding it very difficult finding jobs within this industry and any help/advise or contacts would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I've just joined and this is my first post. My wife and I live in the UK and are considering a move to Brisbane. I work as a Quantity Surveyor in the Civil Engineering construction industry (Worked for Contractors and PQS). I am currently in discussions with a few companies regarding sponsorship. My wife and I are considering Brisbane for the weather, the change in lifestyle and improved living conditions (and money). My first question is aimed at those of you who are POMs and work in Oz in construction. I've read a lot of stories about Australian people resenting British people working in Australia. Is this prevalent in the construction industry? I don't want to move all the way over there and find that my day to day working life is made difficult by my colleagues. I've read that it is no more than banter and I'm hoping that this will be confirmed. My next question : Is it an easy transition to make from the UK construction industry to the Aussie one? Thanks

we are hopefully heading out to Perth and I am going to be the main Visa applicant as a nurse however am just looking for job options for my other half. He has a degree in environmental resource management which was a combination of geology, geography, environmental resource, economincs, business management howver altho he has kept his knowledge and interest up to date he has no after degree experience as there was just no oportunities in the UK. He then has a history of retail experience, retail management and also worked as a regional business development manager for an IT company. At the moment he works freelance doing IT repair jobs both domestic and business, IT servicing, PC and network system building and web design So he's a bit of a jack of all trades and just wondering what kind of work he might be able to get once we are in Perth and wether the mines would be an option for him at all? thanks

Hi, first post so please be gentle :notworthy: Having had 3 trips over to OZ in last two years, we are seriously considering emigrating (myself / wife and 4 (maybe 5 kids). We have friends in Ballarat nr Melbourne and quite like that area. Both myself and wife are in the chemical industry (research chemists / production management). Are there any areas / states where these jobs are more likely to be available ? Any info appreciated, our heads are already spinning with the thought of doing what seems like a huge step :arghh:.

Hi all, Im a highly qualified Q.A / Quality Control Manager who is looking at coming over to Oz at sometime in the very near future. In the UK i work for a major well known company in food and Drink Manufacturing. I have been approaching well known companies in Oz for job opportunities and for them to have a quick look at my C.V and Cover Letter, but so far not so good :err: Does anybody else on here work in Manufacturing in the Food and Drink area, or know of any places that might be looking for any Q.A / Quality Control experienced people? Thanks for any help Paul

:eek: Hi i thought i already had this worked out, but i have one more question regarding working as a tradesman. I will be applying for my TFN (tax file number) soon as i arrive in oz, this can take up to 28 days. I will also need my ABN (australian business number) also, which can take up to 28 days. Apparently applying for both at the same time is not advised, so really this sounds like you could be waiting up to 2 months to be able to start work. Have i got this right? i have trailed the appropriate website but with no real answer to this. Any help or advice on this matter would be much appreciated :cry:
