I have always wanted to move out there but am petrified at the thought that the job situation for fresh new graduates will still be the same.

I'm hoping to stay here and try for an NHS rotational job but if not then want to try for OZ after 3-4 months as a back up plan. I know the procedures involved and that Iwould need to get my qualifications recognised but my question is. how likely is it that i will get a job out there specifically in perth being a fresh new graduate? I am hoping to move there with my spouse so visas are not a problem but being ableto find the job after spending the money and effort to get my qualifications recognised is it worth it? how much do they get paid there? how likely is it that i will get a job?

sorry bout the essay.

thanks guys!!

thank u so much for that info...

i will probably be workingtherefor more than three months so I'm going to have to perhaps try and get in contact with an agent? who can tell me if it is mostly the case that 12 months experience is needed. If so... i need to find a way round it somehow cos if i dont get a job here i dont want to waste time waiting around... perhaps doign a masters degree out there might help? any other ideas on the way out of the 1 months experience? Wonder what the fresh graduates in perth do? They are in the same position as I would be wouldnt they?
