Yeah flying to Adelaide on 14th May.

I have updated my CV on Seek, Careerone, Hays Recruitment, Simply Hired, updated my profile on LinkedIn and got a few recommendations.

I have not yet started full-fledged job applications as it is still a month to go. I applied to one of the jobs and I got a reply I was not selected.

I am sure it is going to require numerous applications to land a job. More importantly what I have come to know from a few people I know in Adelaide that the recruitment agencies want you in Australia before they represent you.

So I am preparing myself technically right now before flying. Getting a certification in your field should also help.

Yeah, that's the best we could do from here. Thanks for those pointers. I will also get prepared in similar fashion.

BTW, what field are you in? Mine is software testing profile aiming for senior analyst/manager positions.
