Guest kazmatt Posted November 5, 2008 yes, definetely slowed down, half the job ads for plasterers than before, and i hear a lot of people on the sites starting to worry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Silol Posted November 5, 2008 We moved over 6 wks ago on Skilled Independent Visas and hubby got a job as a chippy easily... (while in the process of getting licenses, etc). We're 2hrs inland from Brisbane, near Toowoomba and houses are sprouting up everywhere in this region ... it's really booming. You just drive around and there are LOADS of newbuilds going up so lots of work this area. Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Pom Queen 5,774 Posted November 5, 2008 Hi Lisa Tradies in Melbourne seem to be in high demand at the moment. We have a client who arrived last week and has already been offered two jobs one of which he is starting on Monday. If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
