Rachelerella Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hi to anyone reading this, I have successfully past my Skills Assessment for a Marketing Specialist and now I'm eager to lodge my EOI for the Northern Territory. In order to do this I now need a job offer. Unfortunately my current place of work doesn't extend to the NT and I have contacted all local recruitment agencies to Darwin who have said they won't look at my CV until I reside there. I've contacted various people on LinkedIn for advice but I'm still no further forward. Is this the end of the road or can anyone offer any further advice please? Thank you in advance.

wrussell Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Some applicants have been known to visit NT to find the information they need to formulate a submission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitchooooo Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I’m new to this visa. My agent told me that we don’t need job offer / sponsorship in NT. It’s a territory sponcership. But what I’m seeing from your post is a little different. Would you still need a job offer? How long have you worked for that role? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve past my skills assessment confirming I have 6.8years experience in my role (after gaining my degree and the grace period). We would be applying for a 489, which requires me to have a job offer. It’s proving to be a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFC1975 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Hi We’re here on 489 visas in the NT. Been here two years & just about to apply for permanent residency. We arrived with no jobs & I never saw on any documentation or information that for a 489 you need a job offer. It’s State Sponsored not employee sponsored Unless something has changed in two years but who’s advising you of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFC1975 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Maybe so in my two years here having met, chatted & managed quite a few people on 489 visas not one required a job beforehand for there NT visa If you do then I won’t sugarcoat it but it will be virtually impossible. Never say never but if your occupation is marketing specialist then very difficult Firstly Darwin is nothing like Melbourne or Sydney etc it doesn’t have large marketing, Tech or IT firms most of those roles are government Now the NT government will not employ you full time contact on a 489 visa . Been there tried spoken to HR my partner worked for them plus other friends on 489 visas but only in either a fixed term contract or casualTo be blunt as an organisation they are terrible & as with most companies here have no idea or understanding of a 489 visa Your not a citizen or permanent resident so they don’t get it I don’t wish to sound defeatists but Darwin is unique & the majority won’t employ from overseas if they don’t need too & 95% here don’t . Plus the very little understanding of the visa itself Recruitment agents are terrible in Darwin basically a waste of time . If you had specific trade in mining or amazing HR or Health & Safety experience & Skills maybe you could get a job but a lot of occupations no chance from overseas in Darwin Good luck though & apologies it may not be what you want to hear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hephzibah Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Just wanted to find out how long your skills assessment results took to come out. I also intend on having one this week as a marketing specialist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve worked in this role for over 6 years (confirmed by positive skills assessment). Unfortunately for my role I do require a job offer as stipulated by the NT Government.

Hephzibah Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Great. I am still debating on whether i should go for marketing specialist or sales and marketing manager skills assessment as they are both on the NT occupation. Would anyone know which jobs are more readily available in NT between the two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hephzibah Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I have also gotten that info that one needs a job offer before they can get a Visa and my question has been is there a website where i can upload my CV for employers in NT to view?

yogita Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 G'day people, just wanted to clarify some of my confusions, as I'm about to apply for 489 visa i have been living in Darwin, NT for about 7 months and working 5.6 months will be continued until 1 march 19.

Marketing specialist and sales and marketing manger are quite different skilled occupation with distinctly different skills assessment criteria. May I suggest that you check the VETASSESS website and the AIM website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im jus worried that management may restrict him to NT only. Thats where sales and marketing managers are wanted. Thanks will double check with Vetassess.
