Moving To Oz

[Ultimategtr]

Hi all, i normally reside on skylinesdownunder.co.nz

iv been thinking about moving to oz for a long time. i have a decent job here working at a major ISP for over a year. Im thinking of coming over in december to look for jobs.

Does anyone know or could give me guidlines to take? iv done a fair amount of research on jobs etc..

I have a very strong grasp of windows, Microsoft, Networking, internet, policies etc, LAN etc

I have a decent grasp in VB.NET, ASP, and some other programming lingos.

Who here works in the IT industry? or the IT helpdesk role or something related to IT.. ?

Or could someone give me general tips to take..?

Cheers

always plenty of work for them also

have a look on seek.com.au or any of the other job mobs sites

I was looking for a new IT role earlier this year, and there was no shortage of jobs, If you have a few years experience in whatever field you are in, then I don't think you will have a problem at all at the moment!

ISP experience is a good foundation.

Try;

careerone.com.au

jobnet.com.au

mycareer.com.au

IT, I thoguht everyone here would be a hands on trady at least

Nerds are shun from car stuff arent they??? or is the world growing up nowadays?

AAPT has an office based here on the Goldcoast, they do most of their Connect.com Provisioning work from there.

Finding an IT related job on the goldcoast is easier than attracting flies to shit im now in the IT industry after workin in communications for agessss.

rightttt.. so working on a IT helpdesk is nerdy..?

hmm goldie isnt that far from wher i wana go.. maryborough.. anyone know much about it? iv read bout it on the net..and seen pics.. my mate stays there. Anyone here from maryborough?

i dont wana move over there and not get the job i want... cz then id have to do hunting around and perhaps do some shitty fast food job which i hate!

[Spook's_Skyline]

er, id choose brisbane/gold coast over rural maryborough

[Ultimategtr]

is it rural..? how rural?

[timmmay]

rural enough to be called rural

it's approx 260km's north of brisbane CBD...not much there, my partner has rellies up there

brisbane/gold coast is your best bet mate

[Ultimategtr]

ahh ok thats not too far.. are there trains coming to and from maryborough..? hope so.

[Anquetil]

Mate you're really limiting yourself by going to Maryborough, you would inevitably move to Brisbane/Gold Coast anyway.

[DOU33]

People hes from NZ what he considers rural and what us brisbaneites consider rural im sure are 2 different things.

i went over at christmas to the south island i got fam there

flat out finding a maccas lol

nar its not that bad really

but brisbane for sure

[Ultimategtr]

lol!

oi im not planning on living in maryborough!! i just hav a special friend there who id wana see regularly.

just somewher close.. with an IT job

Who here works on a IT helpdesk..?

My role is primarily based around adsl. troubleshooting etc etc.
