I was due to have a telephone interview this morning, for a contract job in a bank. Suitably qualified through experience, but seems as I don't have a degree, I won't be able to get a work permit, even if it is only for 6 months.
Anyone else had this problem?!
Cheers.

Hello mate,
Hmmm, so there could be a way around it then?!

Sounds like, as you say, there's always a way round it....just how much to they want me. It's with their HR at the mp, so just a waiting game now I guess.
Cheers.

Well, nothing on the net I can find says anything about a degree, only a sponsorship from an employer. That would suggest it's a bank requirement not a state one.

Well, the interview is going ahead on Thursday....05:00! So I guess the lack of a degree issue has been resolved. Just hope the call goes well.

Turns out you don't need a degree after all!
