I am thinking of taking the Australian working visa 24 month thingy

I am thinking of taking the Australian working visa 24 month thingy?
I can't really be bothered finishing my MSc degree in transportation just now - if I do, I could be eligible for a highly-skilled role in Oz, but then a company like Atkins could get me a visa, right? How much can I expect to earn in Oz as a Brit with an economics degree, no work experience, and a willingness to do any crappy job?

By all means come on a Working Holiday visa; have a marvellous time and do your 88 days of fruitpicking or whatever in a regional area so you can apply for the second 12 months, but I'm afaid that staying any longer is going to be more difficult than you imagine unless you marry an Aussie. I've never heard of 'Atkins', but nobody can get an Australian visa skilled work visa if they don't have work experience and hiring some expensive agent or advisor won't help you to get around the requirements. You must still pass the points test and even with 3 years of work experience, an economist is going to be really pushing to do that - it's simply not an occupation in high demand so you miss out on MODL points. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/175/eligibility-applicant.htm Even if you can scrape in on the points test, because of the relatively low demand for the occupation, you will be looking at a visa processing time of 4 or 5 years from when you apply. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/pdf/migration-program.pdf You should also be aware that your transportation qualifications aren't in high demand either and in fact, no transport related occupation is listed at all that I can see. http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/ If you have an employer to sponsor you, there is no points test, but DIAC is most unlikely to accept a nomination for an inexperienced economist - we have plenty of home grown ones and there's no need to bring any in from overseas on 457 temporary visas. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/skilled-workers/sbs/ A newly graduated economist can expect to earn maybe 50k for the first couple of years. By the time you have 3 year's experience and become eligible to apply to move here, you could probably expect 75k - $100k though a lack of Australian experience may count against you in finding work.

no a company can not get you a visa if your not experienced and able to pass the points test to move to australia and your occupation must be on the skilled occupation list the working holiday visa is 12 months with the option of a second visa if you do 3 months rural work while on your first visa

I want to Move to Netherlands

I want to Move to Netherlands?
I want to move to Netherlands for 2 years, Thus I need full time job there, does anyone know websites for or companies hiring NON Dutch speaking financiers. I speak English, little German, very little Swedish, perfect Russian and Georgian (native). I have MSc in financial and industrial economics and experience in finance, marketing and public sector. all the websites I stumbled on are offering jobs for Dutch speakers only or Dutch is required together with other languages (mainly English). totally forgot to mention, I am not EU/EEA citizen.

Well I can give you sites, but depending on your nationality then it is not as easy as just applying for a job. The reason I say this is that unless you hold an EEA passport, then to move over here with the wish to live and work, then you would have to find an employer who would apply for a work permit on you behalf. That work permit would not be granted unless it was proven that the job is of such a specialist nature that no-one else in the total pool of labour from (not just the Netherlands but the) whole EEA area. So whilst a MSc is a good start, it is not a guarantee because there are no end of Dutch and other EEA graduates in the same field currently taking any job they can because of not being able to find jobs in the current economy. On the education level alone you would not qualify for a highly skilled migrant and so it would depend on your work experience if you could qualify for a highly skilled migrant visa. You can read more about the details of the process here in a question I answered a while ago for another American interested in the same. It gives links to the IND (Dutch immigration site), how to look for jobs and accommodation as well. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Au4FSM_iOwVeAeSn5NGVt4fty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20081029005645AAYhd63 (saving me retyping and also this turning out to be a very long answer!) As mentioned, you also have to take into account that the economy is having an effect on the EEA market and whilst the Netherlands is not (yet?) as badly affected as other EU countries such as Spain or the UK, of course the labour market in those countries are free to move to the Netherlands as well and jobs that don't require many qualifications/experience are easily filled by EEA passport holders. So you need to check what is the case with your nationality first and you can do this by using the wizard on the Dutch immigration site here http://www.ind.nl/EN/verblijfwijzer/ So yes you can apply but unless you have very specific skills/education which are highly in demand then no employer is going to wait 6 months (which is how long it can take to get a work permit granted) nor undergo the risk of being rejected at his cost when the market is plentiful of candidates eligable to work in these times. You can verify my comments on this site http://www.undutchables.nl/candidates/working-in-the-netherlands/work-permit/ Anyway, links? Well you can try with recruitment agencies but I fear that they will tell you the same as what I have. A job agency is an 'Uitzendburo' or 'Uitzendbureau' anda link to the yellow pages here http://yellowpages.goudengids.nl/displayhome.ds?locale=en_NL&visitorUid=8a90219019e8964d0119fceb83741af7&passwordToken=E644C26C-E692-C22B-C325-C9DC39460A68&newSearch=true&previousPath=displayhome Here are links to sites which have jobs in English: http://www.bluelynx.nl http://www.xpatjobs.com http://jobs.expatica.com/nl http://www.undutchables.nl What you can also do is check the Dutch version of Monsterboard and type "English" in the 'trefwoord' (keyword) field http://www.monsterboard.nl Good luck

What is the best way to enter a Teaching career? Looking for career advice

What is the best way to enter a Teaching career? Looking for career advice.?
I have an msc in computer science and a ba hons in business & economics. I have been thinking recently about teaching and was just wondering what the best path would be if i wanted to begin the career in teaching as soon as possible. Would the masters degree still require a PGCE? It is my understanding that there is a shortage of computer science teachers. Would that benefit me in any way? could i for instance get on the job experience? Help would be appreciated.

Check with your local school corporation as to what credentials you would need to teach. sign up as a substitute teacher immediately. Check with local tech schools and Jr colleges for a position in adjunct faculty. It should be no problem to teach at the college level
