Guest Consulaire Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hi All, Just popping in to say hi. Been lurking on the forum a little while reading away and decided to join the community. Still resident in the UK with my wife (who is German) and young child (16 months). Recently interviewed for a position within Australia, done the medical and my police check. Now having the nail biting wait for the job-offer, wondering if it is even coming. Regardless of if it arrives or not the family are determined to make our way to Oz! Then the journey through the 457 visa application and then planning the move. The posts here have been massively helpful in making the decisions to look into relocating and how to go about the technicalities. Prepare for questions!

noworriesmate Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Simon, Glad you've found the site helpful, hopefully you'll get the news you are hoping for re your job soon. Where in Scotland are you from and where are you hoping to settle when you arrive in Aus? NWM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Consulaire Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I currently live just South of Glasgow near Lanark. The position applied for is a FIFO position but the main office is in Perth so will probably settle in the Perth Suburbs once the move is complete. Assuming I get it that is, desperately trying not to jinx the chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in Paisley for 15 years before moving out to Adelaide - you may find it a bit different LOL!! NWM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I am guessing if they have requested a police check it is a gold mining company. Which one? There are a fair few of us one here FIFO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Consulaire Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 The Police check was an immigation cert, more to prove I'm not trying to escape the law I think. The position applied for was on a new iron ore project on the infrastructure installation, hoping to hear before the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
