Graduate jobs in Australia
Discussion
OH is looking for a graduate job in Australia and I'm quite keen to go with her.
Google searches show up loads of sites but I wonder if anyone here has any advice on the best ones or the best employment agencies to contact.
I think it'll be a case of if she can find something then I will start to look, but I guess as a graduate it'd be a bit more difficult than someone with a recognised professional qualification and degree?
I could be wrong obviously.
Any advice that I can put her way will be very gratefully received.

What visa are you going on? If your on a working holiday visa and want to stay its a bit more difficult because an employer has to sponsor you. Not saying they wont sponsor you, but its extra cost and hassle over employing an Aussie. Also when you're being sponsored they pretty much have you by the balls, if you leave or get sacked you have a month to find another employer who will sponsor you or you've got to leave the country. If your young enough and can collect enough points then you can get a residents visa, and essentially sponsor yourself.
For general Oz jobs then seek.com.au is their big recruitment site.

You said she is in marketing? Seems a bit general and non skilled for her to be able to find something in Aus?
Yeah, I say marketing but she went down the agency route (i know very little about the marketing industry) and has developed herself a bit but was hoping with the experience and the degree that something may be available.Maybe I need to look into it instead.
All looks so damn complicated!
Its very geared up for engineering out there office work and marketing and things I think your struggle to find work, but engineers there is a big shortage of. My brother moved out to Perth 2 years ago he builds industrial gearboxs down mines its hard work and long hours in the middle of nowhere but its like a holiday complex good food, pool and the pay is fantastic, and you can claim back a lot of VAT but its not a 9 till 5 thing its a more relaxed life style but has its down sides to. And helps if you have family there which he has

£52k? That's quite low on a straight currency conversion rate. Seriously. You have to remember that the exchange rate is seriously skewed at the moment so £52kis about $80k which isn't bad for 23 but nothing stellar.
The key to doing this is a visa, although one of the easiest places to move to it still isn't automatic and you do need to research and understand the visa situation. A common route is the 457 but that is employer sponsored, so it means the employer has to be willing to go to the cost and hassle of doing it which means that you need something they can't get locally.
