monsta Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hey,AshB has a good point. The locals will never admit it, but they are scared of highly capable migrants. So, you might have to lower your expectations. It may take you 5 years to work your way back up.Volunteer! Go and meet people in your area and talk to them about your job hunting. They may tell you useful things like, "we call it accounts payable here". Seek.com.au has a volunteering section. Putting volunteer work on your CV is pure gold here.There is a perception that migrants take whatever job they can when they land and change jobs when the right one comes up. So on your CV under objective, imply that you are the kind of person who sticks around. Use words like "loyal" and make it sound like you were really happy in your job in RSA.
