"Experience Certificate" to work in Australia

[_shel]

It would be ok not to put any address/phone number and just put your skype and email. Changing to a yahoo .com.au would be ok. But I wouldn't put an australian phone or address as it appears to be deliberatly misleading. Many employers would then have no interest employing you.
But it is very very difficult to find work offshore even if you have PR or are a citizen because many like face to face interviews and want someone who can start now. Not in 5 months when they arrive. It would also be good to make plans to migrate and include them. If your letter says clearly when you will arrive and its not too far away employers may be more inclined to say yes contact us as soon as you are here if your application is strong.

As for references, get as many as you can from previous employers. Even from the one before you are in now. Then if the one you are with now refuses to give one you have lots to fall back on proving a track record of good work over x no of years in various companies.

But in all likelyhood you won't get a job until you are in australia unless you have some super specialist skills they really want.

Thanks for all the info. Really useful, Shel.

Nice thread this is!

So these are things needed for job experience validation:

1. References whom your new employer in OZ can call/email and check your credentials.
2. Relieving letter from previous companies ( I guess experience and relieving letters are one and same).
3. Linkedin references, if possible.

Folks, please add if I missed anything.

From what I know, this is illegal in the US. I am almost sure that if you give a subtle hint to your employer that you may report this, they will quietly let you exit gracefully in a 2 weeks notice. With US gov cracking down heavily on abuse with foreign workers, you have a very strong position. Just my 2c worth.
