vickyplum Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 "that you haven't provided a Australian number and that you are an overseas applicant (no Australian experience)" This seems Quite Logical to me. when I was in Australia last time around (September 2014) I deliberately purchased a PAYG SIM to use with a very old Nokia - so I could add the tel no to my CV. I haven't started applying yet but keep the phone charged/topped up, just in case the few people who have the number, decide to call. I spoke to one agent on the basis that she was very insistent that I call her on the telephone rather than having an email conversation. The SIM cost 20 AUD and it then costs 10 AUD every three months [at the moment]. You may not be in a position to do this but there is no reason why not being in Australia, means you can't have an Oz tel. no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 What's the problem with .NET? Too many .NET devs? Last time I checked .NET was still a very relevant technology. Very interesting thread and I wish the OP good luck in landing a job. I didn't say it was an irrelevant technology, did I? However from an employers perspective there are more than enough .NET developers in the market. I could easily get someone for 220-250/day.

ali Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 In health, the biggest failures for migrants getting shortlisted is that they don't address the selection criteria. Do the jobs you are applying for have a seperate criteria? If so, and you haven't addressed it - this could be one of the reasons you're not being short listed.

jon83 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I didn't say it was an irrelevant technology, did I? However from an employers perspective there are more than enough .NET developers in the market. I could easily get someone for 220-250/day. Thanks for clarifying. I guess from an employer's point of view that is a good thing, especially if you can get good quality developers at that rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
