SWMOY04 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Had an interview last week on Skype... absolutely no clue how it went... it felt positive, but the interviewers have the best poker faces I've ever come across.. now the nervous wait...they said they'd let me know after they get references back.. Is that normal? I mean, I'm so used to hearing "you got the job, now we will do some compliance" (which includes references...) So I'm wondering what gives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only followed up the references for my preferred candidate, so if they do follow up that should indicate good things. Some places follow up for a few good candidates to help their final decision. But well done, sounds really promising! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benj1980 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) I have a friend who wants to apply for a 189. She will have 65 points and looking to move to WA. Am I right in thinking that she needs to get 70 points to even get through the EoI at the moment? She is a nurse and has been working in Oz whilst on her WHV, therefore registered with APHRA. AMNAC being processed. She's actually a week off gaining an extra 5 points for experience as I believe she has 2 years 11 months and 3 weeks experience!

Jenki75 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) @benj1980 I originally put an EOI in with 65 points for a 189. It would take forever with 65 points to be selected. 70 points and I think you would get snapped up within months. I decided to apply for a 190 state sponsored and was invited with 65+5 for state sponsorship. Not sure about WA as they have a lot of criteria around state sponsorship such as type of nurse and years of experience. States offer 489 visa's and 190 visa's to a select few. She should talk to an agent and see what they recommend. Edited November 29, 2018 by Jenki75 to add recipient 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martina Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Hi fellow nurses, I'm moving to Melbourne in January and have a few questions about jobs. I've already started with seek, indeed, hospitals careers and sending my CV where relevant. I'm surgical RN and was wondering how big are my chances in securing a job? I'm not from an English speaking country and my experience is not particularly fresh. I finished with my surgical work in late 2014 and then was working as an insurance nurse till 2018 in Sydney. That being said, I'd love to get back to surgery. Can anyone share tips and experience with job hunting in Melbourne? Thank you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want to live near work? I'm willing to help with searching around directly with hospitals that satisfy your criteria from your message and my two questions. I'm not an agent... I got my job whilst in the UK and I figured I could have done a few things slightly differently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have their moments too when they miss something in particular about the UK. A "holiday" trip back may be on the books, but for now we are doing ok with SKYPE and FaceTime calls for loved ones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
