Goochie Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 We're booked to arrive in Perth February 2013. I was thinking about looking for jobs 3-4 months before then. Do you think that's reasonable, or will Aussie employers be more interested in those who can work right away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what visa your on mate, but three months IMO isn't too early, start getting the feelers out Goochie, after all, nothing ventured nothing gained.:idea: Cheers Tony.

ali Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 My hubby started applying several months before - one of the firms wanted someone to start right away (we didn't have our visa), but they said they liked his CV and could they keep it on file ... yeah right we thought, heard that one before, but about 4 months later they contacted, said a position had come up in the company, had we got our visa (we had at that time), they arranged a telephone interview and he started 12 weeks later.

ali Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I would start putting feelers out as you're nearing the end of the visa process or have been granted your visa ... employers will consider the most suitable and available candidate for a job (if it's a competative process), having your visa could make a mountain of difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
