alnvic59 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hello I am after advice regarding employment prospects in AU. I currently have family in Perth WA who emigrated from the UK 18 months ago, we visited them for three weeks in Jan this year and have made the decision that we want to follow them. I am currently a store Manager for Aldi but have seven years military experience (Royal Marines) followed by eighteen years Policing experience. I have joined this site today and am serious in emigrating to WA, i would like to know what i need to do first in terms of visas/jobs. Am i best applying for the Police in WA or apply for management roles. I am obviously new to this and would appreciate any advice. Thanks Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Alex I think you might be better off consulting an agent, as the path ahead for you doesn't look at all clear to me. You could indeed wait for an international recruitment drive by one of the police forces, but they don't happen very often and I am wondering if you would be disadvantaged by not being a current member of the force. I also don't fancy your chances with applying for management roles, there are generally enough managers to go around here already and unemployment is 6.5% and on an upwards trend. No harm in trying of course, it is just a very long shot I feel. How old are you by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon4017 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 It's one thing to get the visa, and another thing to get the job. Not sure which visa stream might apply. But Aldi is going gangbusters here, and I hear they are also starting up in NT and WA. I'm pretty sure they're using the same tried and tested business systems from Europe, so that might stand you in good stead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Have you looked if your occupation is on the occupation lists to obtain a visa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Que Sera Sera Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 WA police are recruiting overseas. I think there is a thread on here somewhere http://www.stepforward.wa.gov.au/apply/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
