Im getting seriously tempted to go back to India...

If you're okay in doing some software testing, we have an opening in our company.

BTW, our company is somewhere in the Northern Beaches and our boss says he's having a hard time getting employees coz most of the applicants prefer working in the city..

I'll PM you the details if you're interested..

I live in the NB and used to work in Frenchs Forest, now I have to commute to N. Ryde (in IT Security). But I did enjoy working in Frenchs Forest (10 min commute by car)

It's worth going for Ash, N Beaches are pricier to live in but very nice because of all the beaches

Mmmm, getting tempted to PM you Linger, but I'm not in development (IT Security instead) so I don't think I would fit. But who knows, stranger things have happened. But let's help Ash first

Well there seems to be some help for IT roles but does anyone know of any help on financial services roles??

Qualified accountant with 10 years PQE, MBA qualified also. 15 years working experience in Ireland, UK, Luxembourg and 6 months in Australia. Worked in financial reporting, mgmt reporting, system design/testing/implementation, system migrations, design and development of reporting tools...

Unfortunately getting told over and over I'm too qualified and too experienced for most available jobs here. Don't want to dumb down my CV as not interested in jobs that will bore me senseless. Requiring a job more for the mental stimulation than just for monetary reasons.

Hi Linger

Kindly let me know if you have anything for me in your company as I do not have any prob working in the Northern Beaches. I can forward you my resume if you let me know your email ID. My email ID is fm6733@yahoo.com

Its so nice of you amaslam
I have heard from so many that getting first job is the toughest part. I am in embedded software dev and currently hearing even scarier part. Few Embedded folks who studied in au, had local exp in au or big exp with pr are finding it difficult to get job.
Lets see what future has in store for me but one thing for sure i am not going to give up easily

OK Ash, yours is the next step, PM Linger and see what comes up.

If you're moving the N Beaches in the near future then I can certainly recommend some areas where you can rent.

Thats the spirit Ashish. Dont give up. Yes there would be rumors here and there. Just dont listen to them. Have supreme confidence in your ability and I am sure you would crack the job. All the best .

I am glad that recruiters like Linger are noticing the posts here too. Infact if one wants to utilize the forum, then they would stumble upon a vast goldmine of talented professionals.
