    Out of curiosity, has this ever happened to anybody where they got a job lined up before departing for Australia?

    Yes, applied for it on gumtree. Sent the boss my cv and had email interview. Hired me by email.
    Was going anyway, just made life easier as I landed on a Thursday and started work on the following Monday.

    I got a job sorted before arriving here. Arrived the Sunday, working the monday but my position would be different than most.

    Can I ask what sectors you guys work in? I'm a mechanical engineer and I'm looking at emmigrating to either Sydney or Melbourne.

    I have some friends in Sydney, engineers and all working who say jobs are plentiful compared to here.

    I am only in the early phase of my planning, I have yet to apply to any companies/agencies, but obviously the possibility of having a job before going is quite attractive.
