    Ok I was only Joking

    Rest assured there is work here you will have to work at making contacts and networking to get it. Be very forward with employers.

    I cant say fairer than that.

    From replys on here its not as easy as it sounds.

    The response tends to be "See you when you land".

    Fact is you just have to Take the plunge see how you go.

    That siad it is not impossible to secure employment from abroad but I dont know how to do it.

    This forum encourages people to make the move and provides a lot of GOOD FREE info on how to do it.

    No one here can tell you if you'l get a job, maybe if some people do a little more reasearch on the likes of seek.com.au they will have a better idea on whats available.

    This forum is realistic and I have found it extremely helpful. Not everyone will land here and get their Ideal job. Some will but most who do have prepared well or are in sought after professions with good experience or if not have a hell of a lot of luck. It is not difficult to get a job here if you have the correct qualifications and the correct visa. It is difficult if you don’t.
    Its sad seeing some people come over here getting to know them and seeing them struggle and then go home particularly if there is a way a bit of advice could have prevented that before they came over.
    That’s why we don’t all say yea sure you’ll be grand to such vague questions as in the OP!
