How does an American live and work in Perth Australia--what are the requirements and where to find documents.?

Question

Im a cable tv splicer and would love to work in Perth for a year or so----where and whom can I talk to about this

Answer 1

If you can search out Cabling companies Perth to assess if they are short of skilled people you might improve your chances.

Try www.searchperth.com/recruitment-agencies for possible jobs

Answer 2

I like to live in the U.S too but our two countries have conditions in common - the jobs in short supply rule. You cannot work in our country if you will be taking a job away from an Australian and so you need to prove education requirements and that you have unique skills.

A extra word about Perth - cable TV never really took off there and most people have satellite.

The best way to get a visa and a job would be to fit into something to do with mining (WA is a mining boom state - with no shortage of mining related jobs).

Answer 3

If you're 30 or under and have completed high school, your best bet would be to come on a 12 month working holiday visa which would allow you to work at any job for up to 6 months with any given employer. If that's not appropriate, you will have trouble getting any other type of work visa as your occupation doesn't seem to be on the Skilled Occupations List (SOL) which lists occupations in which workers are needed in Australia.
