Visa190 - WASMOL Schedule 2 = job offer required

[weaz]

Hi all,

 

who can tell me what the trick is to obtain a job offer while not residing in Oz?

Seems to me that all "off-list" positions are rather useless for obtaining the 190 visa...

 

All online ads require "the candidate to have a valid working visa to be considered"

 

What an I missing here?

 

I have emailed the WA migration department regarding this topic, but did not receive an answer yet.

 

 

Thanks

It depends on your occupation. Some occupations find it easy to get a job from outside Oz. Some its impossible. The fact it is on schedule 2 is an indicator the occupation is not in demand / has plenty of local candidates

They really should be more selective with the occupations they put on that list, it just gave me hope...

I don't know about other occupations, but in IT, employers look for people when they need them, not 6 months before.

 

What you say about jobs not in demand is not always true;

Network and systems engineer is on the wasmol, but Network Analyst is off-list, where the latter one is for more complex from a technical perspective.

And in this world (of IT), employers are always looking for the more experienced engineers

 

But anyhow, I should have gotten skills assessed as Network and systems engineer, instead of trying to get the best match to what I actually do.

That way I wouldn't have been in this mess.

 

 

Thanks for the clarification though, hope you understand the frustration.

Only option left now is applying for SA.
