Greetings
First post in the forum for me. I've read numerous posts in this forum and I must say, the support on offer is astranomical.
Okay first thing's first.
My name is Scott, nice to meet you all.
Me and my partner are looking at moving over from Britain.
I am currently in University studying Computing note, currently whereas my partner is already qualified in childcare
After first exploring the option, my impression was as follows:
Okay, lets get a 12 month working Visa, establish a relationship with an employer and potentially get sponsored. I thought this was a great idea as the odds of us both getting into employment and atleast one of us making a good impression would give us a greater chance of being sponsored.
We already know a couple who have done a similar thing but the similarities end there. One of them were sponsored before going over so their knowledge on the situation is very limited compared to some of the things I have read here.
Our target is to be over in three months time April 2010
I would like any and all advise you guys have to offer.
Is it worth getting the 12 month working holiday Visa and establishing a good solid relationship with an employer or is it worth seeking sponsorship beforehand.
Is it more worth my partner doing the backbone work as she is already qualified and then I come over with my partner?
I've read so much information and I seem to find out different things from different websites which contradict eachother.
My skills are in the following fields
-IT Networking, Web development, PHP, MySQL, HTML, VB
-Bar Bar supervisor
-Sales Account Manager
-Food Commis Chef
Whereas my partners qualifications are in childcare.
I appreciate any and all advise.
Thank you very much in advance.
Scott.
