HI All,
I recently received 190 Visa grant and looking to make validation trip by early Feb 2018. I have some questions regarding job search and I reckon you guys can help me out.
1) I hear getting interview calls from offshore is very tough. I have heard pepole taking a local number/VoIP and forward calls to offshore number to make recruiters believe that you are in AU. I would like to understand that how well it will go with them when they know you are not in Australia etc..what are the other ways to get calls if you are giving your home country number ..Any tips ?
2) I hear that its not good idea to mention about permanent residence in CV/cover letter , as it implies that you are not in Australia and its an attempt to get calls from offshore..is this true?
3) If i am looking to do serious job searching after landing in Australia may be next year..is it a good idea to float the resume now in seek etc..just wanted to understand that if you do that now they might familar with your profile that you are offshore applicant and it might hurt you when you land and do job search as they are too familar with profile etc....
4) my 190 is from NSW and have no friends there. What are the chances if you are looking for jobs in NSW from Melbourne as I have friend there..
Just wanted some valuable views from people who have been thorugh this process etc...I am confused as hell as what to do next ...your suggestions would go long way...many thanks....
