JB is one of the very few who got good thing to say regarding employment oppurtunity in Aus. JB, were you relocated by your company in US? I have been thinking about relocating to Aus last couple years. From that contacts I have in Aus, none of them suggested me to move. I must have sent around 40 resumes last few months and no response so far :=) JB, will certification from Vendors like HP, ISC, Cisco, MS be any help to land IT jobs there? And if you any of you need more info regarding General Skilled Migration I be happy to help them. It will anywhere form 9-15 months to get the PR if you are qualified.
