Hi there,
I'm wondering how I would go about relocating to Australia for work? I'm a sheet metal worker tradesman (I do HVAC ducts, etc), and I'm at the journeyman level, having completed a 5 year apprenticeship with 9 years in the trade. Currently there is no work to be had here in the US; economy is totally tanked. I have been out of work for 8 months this year and 6 months last year. I'm ready to throw in the towel and relocate somewhere else, preferably Australia.
I don't have a lot of money to work with, so I was wondering if it's possible to get employer sponsorship for the visa fees, etc. I would like to bring my wife and daughter with. I'm looking at the Sydney or Perth areas, but open to others if the work is there.
Any help on pointing me in the right direction would be great. Would like to get the heck out of the US in 2010
Thanks in advance!
