helenaoz2b Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Hello everyone, I have doing lots of research into the areas that we wish to stay (still struggling to be honest), but have kinda limited it to 3ish!! how do we go about finding out if those areas are going to be suitable for the job my OH has?? any help would be greatly appreaciated as hoping to send it off within the next couple of weeks. It is defo not as easy as you first think :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kelbo Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hi there, each state have their own skills list and if your OH's occupation is on there then it would be ok to apply for SS with them. Alternatively you can make an off list application to the state and this may be accepted if there is a particular job that your OH can do. alternatively, if you have something lined up then an employer sponsorship would be best. Where are you based? Working In have expo's around the country a couple of times a year and they have state reps there that can offer much better advice than me. Western Australia, I've found, have been the most helpful and knowledgable. Good luck:biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kelbo Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I think job sites and possibly quantity surveyors in the region you're looking at. Is your OH on linkedin? I've found this super useful for contacts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
