iwastakenbytheshadows Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Is it just me or do they usually take an age to get back to you? I've contacted a few on here that find employment for 457 visas and still waiting for a response! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GeorgeD Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 When I was in the UK I emailed 5 companies asking to arrange a meeting with them when I landed in Oz on a Spouse visa (so didn't need sponsorship.) Only 1 replied. And I met him. And he got me a job. It isn't unusual, and the vast majority are liek that so don't think it's a reflection on you! You just need to keep the momentum up.

iwastakenbytheshadows Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 I've had them contact on here asking or info to which you exchange a few emails... Then nothing. I thought they'd want the business? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwastakenbytheshadows Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 It would be great if they replied saying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freckleface Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 It would be great if they replied saying that. I know it is frustrating but try not to take it personally. Managing the volume of applications coming in from around the world can be a challenge (to say the least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chops1963 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hi getting a 457 sponsored role is very hard work, so you have to be determined and develop a thick skin, Contacting recruiters should be part of your approach, but you should also identify companies that could use your skills and apply to them as well.Additionally, see what transferable skills you have, and think about what other industries you could apply to ? As networking is important, i use Linkedin and it can be good to promote yourself and get in contact with people who can help you. Recruiters are busy, and some are just plain unprofessional. So don`t take it personally, get a plan of attack and go forward. Best wishes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissAlice Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Best to approach companies yourself since the recruitment company is bombarded with applicants and with you needing 457, that adds a lot of extra work for them over hiring someone who doesn't need 457. I went through the same thing and found a job myself and the company sponsored me for 457. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
