Karolina,
I worked for the Cardno Group in Queensland Australia for 3.5 years. Here is my advice;
1. Study the Immigration Policy for Australia – You need a “4 year 457 Skilled Migrant Visa” Know everything about it, Aussies like someone who solves problems on their own and Aussies have not a clue about Immigration Policy.
2. Know your Culture / know Aussie Culture. Similar to the US, Australia is a melting pot, although Aussies are passionate about the way they do things. Biggest compliment I received on a personal (not work) basis was ‘You are not bad for a Yank!” At the very least, you do not have to deal with “Polish Jokes” in Australia, although you will be required to drink beer at 4pm on Fridays, have 4 weeks paid holiday, 2.5 weeks off at Christmas and 10 days sick leave…and this is all on the very day you sign a contract, oh a by the way, you need to take Tuesday off because it is the Queens Holliday!
That is not all of the advise I have, although all I’d like to type on this fine day! Follow up if your would like more info…
Cheers,
David
