Hi keno,

Other than point you in the direction of job websites (see the 'Please Read.....' sticky post towards the top of the forum) I don't have any personal experience of fitters.

Are there any associations for fitters that you could contact? They may be able to give you a realistic view.

We have friends in Ireland and things don't sound good there at all.

Regards,
Karen

Hi kaz,thanks for your input.I left Ireland initially in1986 for oz,things were bad in ireland then,looks like were heading back to the bad old days.5000 nurses inquired about emigrating this year alone.Anyway,if i return to oz,ineed to go somewhere that,s busy/happening,so that i can get work straight away.hit the ground running,as they say.from what i can deduce,there seems to be a lot happening in queensland.new mines/railways/ports/infastructure/etc.anyone got anymore info
