Engineering migration to Australia made simple
The engineering labour market in Australia has tightened due to the global financial crisis, just like the rest of the world. Australia’s engineering migration program is likely to continue due to the aging of the engineering population and many years of failure to attract young people into engineering.
In the short term jobs will be harder to find. This makes it all the more important to prepare properly for migration in this climate.
Take the stress out of migration by preparing properly. Do what the smart cookies do – get a job before the leave their homeland. In today’s financial climate this may not be so easy, but you can at least do some good ground work. Here is a little trick I know has worked for many.
Find a few prospective employers and make unsolicited applications. It is a little like going around a bar and asking every girl to go to bed with you. You may get a lot of knock backs, but you only want one yes. With employers a response of “come on over and start next month.” will not happen. Do not be deterred. The response you are looking for is, “Come and see us if you come down (to Australia).” This is as good as a yes. Why? The prospective employer does not expect you to come on down without a firm offer. When they see you they have two thoughts. The first is, “Bloody ‘ell, I wasn’t really serious when I said come and see me.” And the second is “Shivers (or something similar), I had better try and do something for this poor boy (or something similar) who has travelled all this way. They must have some get up and go to do that.”
How do I know this works? I’ve been there, done that. Had it done to me too!
For this technique to work your CV needs to be in the Australian style.
