Guest Kate85 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Even a 100,000 job hit will dent the unemployment rate by all of around 1% roughly. Australia still has plenty of room in the monetary policy area to loosen up, and unemployment is very tame, at least compared to the rest of the developed world. Don't ignore the fact that mining and resources projects are still strong, and there's no indication any large investment in resources is under any threat as yet. couldn't agree with you more twister292. Unemployment in Australia is very tame INDEED! well-researched! here is some proof that Suncorp, Vodafone and Wespac eventually followed suit like Toyota and ANZ taming unemployed Australians! (let alone people on work visas.. mate) http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/companies/westpac-forecasts-job-cuts-suncorp-sends-back-office-work-to-india/story-fn91v9q3-1226253683491, and for Vodafone http://www.businessspectator.com.au/bs.nsf/Article/Vodafone-Australia-to-cut-jobs-costs-memo-pd20120124-QTQSL?OpenDocument&src=hp15. and again, Dont let what ANZ and Toyota just did slide off you memory. who's next ? Happy Oz day twister292 best of luck with you 885 visa application. it won't be long mate :notworthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cat4er Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Form 80 is sometimes hard to fill as they ask about countries you travelled in 10 last years. I travelled to more countries I can remember. Have to go trhu the photos, seeing all my exs and it basically just repeats the data they already have.

Ah....i think i already did this when my agent ask for the last 10 years of travel the certain amount of time if im not wrong is about 3-6 months i could be wrong, but i think, logically it would require more than 1 month to apply for overseas police check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Outa Heah Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Regarding migration and job availability discussion...Just to be precise and not to mislead anyone out there planning to chase the 'Australian [day]dream' :daydreaming:.. By 'finding a job' I meant finding a job in your area of expertise. If you are happy cleaning, wiping desks, packing things, toilet scrubbing and what not (with your degree) then that's a story for another day...

Bluecatcollectables Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Same the world over it seems. I noticed this happening in Europe, especially Germany in the late 1980's early 1990's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's $522 a fortnight and that's if your getting the max rent assistance which you only get if your rent is more than $400 a fortnight. The writer has consistently written every Centrelink fortnightly payment as weekly...or perhaps he doesn't know that a fortnight has 2 weeks in it.

xenos1987 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 haha the reporter is from the Daily Telegraph. There goes the reporter's credibility. I guess the essence of his story was the import of foreigners to fill Aussie jobs - a time where Australians have been crying out that these foreign workers are "stealing" their jobs when in fact they do not want to do them especially unskilled work. For skilled jobs, like a medical specialist, it takes 20 years post high school education and training to become one. Therefore a local cannot simply fill this position in the short term. The worker has to be outsourced from elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluecatcollectables Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 It would be interesting to see the stats on how many foreigners actually start their own business over in oz and create employment. We are looking at the bottom of the employment scale, which might be little short-sighted if you ask me. Australia does not continue immigration just to fill 'low-paid' jobs. I do not believe that for one minute. I'm sure the majority benefit the Economy tremendously and don't forget the native population is actually getting older, thus in need of a good workforce. As to getting there and not being able to get your dream-job, well again, this happens the world over. You will have to be a bit more flexible, unless of course you are offered such a job before going. By flexible I mean, take a job related to what you want to do, or even become self-employed. Remember this is a 'young' country and the beauty of Australia is that the sky's the limit. Its a challenge you should wish to rise to it, not lament in not being spoon-fed. Sorry for these extreme views, but my motto has always been to try and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenos1987 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I agree with you Bluecatcollectables. However, it is also an objective of DIMIA to import skills that cannot be filled by the aging population overnight. What's the point of importing someone who is a Accountant in their home country when they have no intention whatsoever of staying as one here. I know many cases of this. In the end they have a +1 (or more if they come with their family) to the Australian population and the shortage persists. Luckily DIMIA have realized this loop hole and it is closing fast. I also understand that people want to start new lives as well. However their views are inconsistent with this objective of DIMIA. There are other visas for these people to apply (eg business visas). There is also the case where you have mentioned where new migrants are not getting the jobs they are trained/qualified for. This highlights that qualifications and work experience back in one's home country doesn't necessarily guarantee a job here. Hence the need to be retrained in Australia. It takes persistence to achieve the Australian dream. Mine hasn't been fully realized yet...it will take at least another ten years but it's a work in progress. :biggrin: All the best Cat5ers!
