d4ftpunk Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I will be moving to Australia just before I turn 32. I have heard that age discrimination is a big thing there. I am not someone who has really big skills as well. I work in the digital industry as an sales/account manager and I don't have much work experience (only a few years as I slacked during my studies and spent lots of time travelling). My partner is australian and I am excited to settle in her country but I am worry that it will be a big struggle for me in terms of job. Anyone else who moved to Australia in their thirties with no particular skills? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you'd be moving at the ideal time. I moved in my thirties and I think it's a great time to make the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Should be OK. If you are over 50 that'd be a different kettle of fish. However be prepared to take anything and work your way up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
