AndrewRomford Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hi, I am desktop support in London and arriving in Melbourne in August 12. I am expecting it to be tough. I have 10 yrs experience in the UK, and am returning home (yes, I am an Australian) and face just as tough a time as those heading across from the UK. I have some contacts who advise it is getting tougher as well in Melbourne. The thing that stands out to me is the whole recruitment market seems to be much slower than the UK from application to feedback. Being in the right place at the right time with some lady luck never goes astray.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Smith Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Sorry for the bump, I've been out here for a couple of weeks now on a 1 year working holiday visa, previously worked at Insight and Lenovo in sales with high achievement. I'm looking to switch it to a 457 and commit to a place for a few years but I'm really struggling. Applied for jobs at Dell, HP etc and heard nothing back, spoke to a recruiter today who basically had no interest in dealing with me as I only have a 1 year visa at present. I was expecting it to be a bit easier than this, I could go work for anyone in the UK easily, sales people are always in demand. The economy here is a lot stronger than the UK but I seem to be hitting brick walls. I'd hate to have to go home in a few months without even getting a chance. Any help or advice please? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzy--bee Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I think that a 1 year holiday visa would put a lot of employers off to be honest, you can't work for more than 6 months on that I think and that kind of lifespan is not suited for a job in IT sales, no matter how high an achiever you are. I recommend you find a 6 month contract on a helpdesk or something and prove yourself a bit and try and work your way into sales. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bromney Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 The market appears to be flush with candidates so its very much a recruiters market. Unfortunately that means you're going to be hard pushed to generate interest in you when you can only do 6 months max. I suggest putting out speculative CV's to multiple companies and hope something bites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Smith Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Well that's irritating. I was told by a few people the best plan would be to come out here and with my willingness to commit and go onto a 457 visa it shouldn't be too difficult. Thanks for your help.

Bromney Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 That was possibly true previously but in this current market that doesn't appear to be the case. I would also say don't give up and just keep trying, all you need is for one company to consider you. In addition to the job boards and looking at companies you should also look at linkedin, there are jobs that get advertised there too. Good luck.

Chortlepuss Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I know at least two ICT recruiters who have recently been made redundant due to lack of work and many say this market (In Brisbane) is the worse they've ever know. There always seem to be jobs on Seek, but most jobs aren't even advertised, so increasing your network is the way to go. In a few months, maybe it'll pick up... fingers crossed!
