Guest Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Hi Guys It's been a little while since I was last active! Loads has happened and my circumstance have changed a fair bit! I recently started a new position in Human Resources (basic skills no qualifications as yet) I am wondering if anyone out there has applied for a visa recently with this skill set and I would very much appreciate if anyone out there has applied for a visa using HR qualifications? and what qualifications/skills they had and the Visa they went for? Basically, I want to move over to Oz and I am assessing my options, I have tried to do lot's a research but the majority is quite conflicting and confusing so all sensible advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle78 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 This interests me also as my husband is in HR. Masters degree qualified. Problem for us is he has just turned 47 and so time is ticking and the points are 0 for his age bracket. I am younger with no applicable skills, been a housewife for 10 years. I like to think we are intelligent people and usually I am not phased by bureaucratic forms etc but the visa system and the best route for us - I just cant seem to get straight in my head! :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 HR is very difficult to migrate under as the occupations are only on the CSOL which means you need either state or employer sponsorship. Very few states offer sponsorship (WA and SA) and you need either a job offer in hand for WA, or very high points or established links (family or previous study/work history) in the state for SA. If you want a clear picture of your options, I'd suggest you book a consultation with a migration agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will definitely have to seek some professional advice but just putting the feelers out for now. With the EOI, if you are invited to apply how likely is it that you would be rejected? If they have seen all the info already and think you should give it a go surely then its just a formality? Does anyone know of any rejections despite being invited to apply??

Rejections are surprisingly common. And yes, it results in loss of the fee. Main reasons are people over calculating points. Claim one point more than you should and you can be rejected. Do do not submit and eoi until you have everything in place - you need a positive skills assessment and if claiming points for English, you must have completed the English exams and received results.

WRT the EOI, the system simply spits out an invitation based on the details you enter into the system. So theoretically I could submit an EOI as a rocket scientist (if the occupation is on the SOL, I haven't looked), claim I have a PhD and 10 years relevant experience, and that I'm 29 years old. I'd likely get an invitation to apply. If I applied, my visa would be rejected because I couldn't back up any of those point claims. Sadly, not even the age one.

flag of convenience Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 HR? Are there really requirements in our labour force for such positions? Astounding if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At present only SA is sponsoring with above reasons. WA closed last year. I would say it's very difficult to get in for HR professionals. I'm terms of qualification, if you have a bachelor's degree relating to HR, vatessess take it as an approved qualification. However it depends on the offered university. I think masters won't count without a first degree. Also experience matters as well. To get a positive skill assessment. I have seen some states have the requirement of HR managers but no state with the requirement of HR Advisors.

Kezzles Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 HR? Are there really requirements in our labour force for such positions? Astounding if so. trust me I have worked in HR since 2003 and worked in Melbs since 2014 in HR. The quality of HR here is way behind the times and I have been told finding good HR professionals in Australia is tough, hence why we are on the CSOL.

wozzie2202 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 trust me I have worked in HR since 2003 and worked in Melbs since 2014 in HR. The quality of HR here is way behind the times and I have been told finding good HR professionals in Australia is tough, hence why we are on the CSOL. I moved across to Adelaide on the state sponsored visa 4 months ago. I was fortunate and secured contract work after 3 weeks and then secured a 2 year contract shortly after as as Kezzles has said HR here is behing the times...frustratingly so. However, there is a lot of competition and a lot of people looking for HR work in SA. I've heard people express surprise at how easy i found it to secure work but I guess it comes down to what is on your CV and the level you are at. There are opportunities over in SA for OD specialists as there is a lot of change taking place. The challenge here is in SA it's very parochial and very much about who you know. I was lucky I guess...my husband who is from a Logisitics/ Supply Chain management background is still finding it hard to even get an interview. If you are in a good role in the UK, think long and hard about SA. It's not for everyone and to a large degree can be career limiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
