Hi all,

Thinking of looking for a graduate job abroad after i graduate next summer, maybe in Australia. I'd love to hear anybody's experiences with taking a grad job abroad.

I guess this post could be a little more specific to what you mean by experiences..

With regards to qualifications, I am stateside and it seems Irish graduates are very well received. Anyone I have spoke to regards our education quite highly.

What kind of area are you in Darren?
Would the visa process not preclude many prospective Irish graduates from being considered for most jobs or how does it work in the current climate?

Thanks

Engineering. If you come on a J1 visa, it allows recent graduates to come to the US to get valid experience in their respective area. Unfortunately you need a company to sponsor you to do this, which is often difficult to obtain while residing across the pond in Ireland.
