Susan Wareham McGrath Interview thank you letters - a simple way to stand out from the job-seeking crowd

The competition for good jobs across all levels of Australia’s job market is tough; and with many excellent applicants competing for a limited number of good jobs, it’s essential that you make the most of every opportunity to stand out from the competition.



An easy way to do this, but surprisingly, one that is followed by very few job applicants, is to follow up each interview you attend with a simple thank-you letter.

kellie When can you leave a company after getting Visa on an Employer Nomination Scheme

Hi all,

 

Just wondering if someone can help.  My Partner was granted permanent residency 18 months ago by getting sponsored under an Employee Nomination Scheme in Qld.

 

We both now want to move to Melbourne, which would mean he will no longer be linked to the company.

 

Does this mean he will loose his Permanent residency?

 

Any help appreciated

 

Thanks

Kellie

I have seen that Pastry Cook ( 4512-13) appears on the NT Occupation Shortage List 2010. I would be grateful if somebody could tell me if the list will have changes or is still applicable, as I am a little bit confused since Pastry Cook is not on the SOL on the immigration website.

Thanks.
