    I am currently looking for all expats in the Brisbane area who have come across the same kind of discrimination I have.

    If you have had the usual....too qualified, not enough australian experience, not "local" or no responses at all to your applications, drop me a line.

    I am looking at setting up a special association in Australian with a view to potentially setting up a Recruitment Agency for Expats...letting Aussie Employers know that just because you dont have Aussie experience doesnt mean you arent the best person for the job!

    My email address is nickpollins@bizezia.com and my mobile number is 0430059490.

    Thanks and good luck! :biggrin:

    Hi Nick,

    I have been looking for a job in Brisbane for over six months now, having emigrated to Oz over a year ago. I am a qualified Accountant with over 10 years experience, and all I hear back from the recruiters that bother to respond to me is that I do not have local experience. How does one get local experience if no-one is willing to give you a fair go?
    I have also directly applied to loads of employers and keep getting rejected...so yes, I definitely feel there is discrimmination involved, maybe not because I'm from the UK, but because I'm NOT Australian.
    I think it would be a fantastic idea for you to start up a recruitment firm specialising in helping people from overseas find jobs, and educating Brisbane employers that we are as capable as the next person of performing really well.
    I would like to get involved if you need the help.

    Thanks
