If you are a highly qualified professional or tradesperson living overseas who would like to find a job in the Australia then you should concentrate on 2 specific job market sources:-

1. Published Australian job market sources – Advertised
2. Unpublished Australian job market sources

There is a hidden market that includes jobs opportunities which are not advertised, which you may learn through word of mouth or by approaching companies.

More than 65% of jobs are not advertised so looking at both avenues is essential. The Australian job market is competitive so you need to be thorough in your job search.

Australian Professional Bodies
Search for any industry bodies and their websites that are relevant to your occupation.

Australian Employment Websites
New jobs are published daily, and some sites offer a service of emailing your alerts based on your selected criteria. You can also include your CV in a database that can be searched by potential employers.
Many companies include job adverts on their own websites as well.

The following links are for key websites advertising jobs.www.seek.com.au
http://mycareer.com.au
www.careerone.com.au
http://www.jobsearch.com.au

When making contact with potential Australian employers you should also confirm whether they would be willing to sponsor you for an Australian work permit or subclass 457 Business Long stay visa so you can come to Australian and work in the job.

Alternatively, if you already hold a visa that gives you work rights, perhaps of the Australian skilled visa from the Australian skilled migration category than this would be a definite benefit to securing an Australian job offer.

Good luck with the job search.

Kind regards,

Business Visas Australia Testimonial

'Having been through the process of applying for a Sponsored Investor Class Visa to move to Melbourne, I would strongly recommend that anybody considering such an application to get a migration agent to support them during the process.

Having trawled a number of agents via the Internet during the planning stage of our application and been disappointed by the number of agents who are only interested in turning a quick buck, I was pleasantly surprised to come across Business Visas Australia and strongly recommend that Mege Dalton at Business Visas Australia be your number one choice.

Mege Dalton provided not only a highly efficient, cost-effective and professional migration service in our application for a Sponsored Business Investor Visa, but also provided a personal touch. I felt at all times that I was dealing not only with a knowledgeable, experienced advisor, but also a friend who was supportive and caring for us throughout the process. Communications at all times were always clear, direct and timely.

When I chose to fly across to Dublin rather than trust some important documents to the post (and to get myself a little away day), Mege was not only able to certify the copies saving me costs at this end but also I was met at the airport by Mege, taken for lunch and then returned to the airport.

All I can say is a big Thank You and to encourage anybody considering applying for a visa to Australia to use this excellent service.'

'Mege,
What a wonderful feeling it is!
After submitting the application ourselves and the exceptional circumstances and difficulties attached to our case you brought us through!

I would just like to mention to your future clients this. Just before my partner and I submitted our application we had a problem with a major part of the application.

I phoned several immigration lawyers and agents and asked their advice in which way to handle it. All of their advice was the same! The advice which was conflicting was yours.

To cut a long story short I took the majority vote. I submitted the application myself completed by the other people’s advice and the department picked up on it. Everything you said was true and did happen.

My only regret with dealing with you Mege, was not taking your advice from the start. The best thing I did was sign the 956 form giving you permission to act on our behalf.
Nine weeks later I’m sat here in Melbourne.
Professional, reliable and 100 % success rate.
Mege thank you all your help.'

'My family and I have recently been granted the State/Territory Sponsored Business Owner (Provisional)(Subclass 163) visa from the Department of Immigration and Citizenship of the Australian Government. Mege Dalton of Australian Business Visas was our agent who helped us achieve this.

We contacted Mege at the last minute, literally, we had acquired the first part of this visa, I.e. the state sponsorship but we realised that our application would be quite complicated and we needed some professional help.

We had run our business, a dairy farm, in Denmark so all our documentation was in Danish and needed translation. Mege was not phased by the challenge, she calmly gave us immediate advise on how to get our application in on time and also gave us the best price of all agents we had contacted.

We were always happy with Meges assistance, she offers a high standard of service, she is friendly and warm but extremely efficient, she knows her stuff! We are very grateful for her help and would recommend her wholeheartedly to any one interested in acquiring a business visa for Australia and of course to all those dairy farmers out there thinking of making the big move.'

'Thanks for helping us to obtain a spouse visa. When we first looked into applying for a spouse visa, the process looked daunting and long. Your professionalism allowed us to prepare our application more efficiently and to the highest standard we could. This paid off with our visa being so efficiently processed. Thanks to you we are going to be able to start our new life in Perth much sooner than we thought we could.'

'Mege,
We cannot thank you enough for all you help in obtaining our business visa. You kept us well informed all the way through and you were always quick to respond to any of our questions (and still are even now we have the visa).
I don't think we could have managed it without you, you kept us feeling positive and kept our dream alive, and thanks to you we are looking forward to our new life in Australia - its so exciting!
Thank you so much.'

'I can confirm that Mege Dalton acted as my migration agent in obtaining a Business Owner Visa subclass 163 and through her hard work we were successful. Mege acted in a professional manner at all times. She was prompt in dealing with all aspects of the process. If ever I had any queries, she was very efficient and effective in her response.
Overall I would very highly recommend Mege Dalton to anyone wishing to migrate to Australia.'

'Dear Mege,
I really don’t even know where to start when it comes to thanking you for the time and effort that you put into our application.
It was maybe a little more complicated than the average application having to get State sponsorship and then the Australian Government application thereafter.
I think back on the times calling you and making myself a little crazy thinking of too many things at one time, And during those calls I remember you made me feel confident and relaxed that it is just a process and to just take one step at a time.
Well Mege I think not only did you during this time make me feel like we were friends but you were also my shrink J and helped us though a very tough time in our lives.
I don't know what I would have done without you. I think having you on our side is the best thing we could done, and I am referring people to you left, right and centre!'
