Joob joobs Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hi there. I've been lurking for a few weeks now and thought I'd jump in and introduce myself... This sounds really sad but my dream has always been to move to Aus since I was about 11 years old. I visited for 3 months back in 2003 and loved every minute of it... when I returned to the UK at times I regretted going because then I knew what I was missing... However, despite checking the lists, my job never seemed to appear in the wanted skills lists. So I thought time was getting on, I'm not as young as I used to be and it didn't look like there was any way I was going to manage to get over there. I decided to just get on with my life as it didn't look like it was ever going to happen. However, at the start of the year there was an advert in my work looking for applications for the Australian part of the company, doing the same job. I applied, thinking I'd hear nothing furhter. I've since had a telephone interview, they have spoken to my boss for references and the contact from Aus will be over in the UK shortly to meet with me! :jiggy: It has all happened so fast! There are no guarantees that I'll get it but I'm starting to get scared! It's been my dream for so long and it's only just hitting home that it may be a possibility. Help!! Anyway, that's my story so far. Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum and say thanks for all the info I've gathered off this site so far. It's very much appreciated. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrisDubBris Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Best of luck! Would the job be in the same place that you visited? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joob joobs Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 They are looking for folk in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne. I've never visited Adelaide or Melbourne but any location would be considered! (I know I'm sounding really desperate here! Heh.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cricketbackinengland Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Just shows you should be careful what you wish for. You might get it:-) Sounds good. Probably best to wait till you read all the fine print and speak to the rep. Good luck with it all. You do sound excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joob joobs Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Cheers guys. :biggrin: My o/h is an IT Project Manager (over 10 years experience) but has no formal qualifications in that field. Does anyone know if this will this hinder his chances of getting a similar position in Aus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
