RE: DBA job market in Australia and Asia? - OFF TOPIC KIND OF

Erm..... has anyone out there taken the time to learn Japanese ?? I am looking at starting in the next couple of weeks and would like to hear if anyone has struggled and know how hard it is - I know French so any comparisons would be great.

REPLIES OFF LIST PLEASE !!! I don't want to clutter up the list with any more crap.

I suppose it makes a change from the Oravle V Informix V Sybase V SQL Server etc. etc.

Regards

Lee

Check out http://www.jobnet.com.au for jobs.

There is a reasonable demand. As far as visas are concerned, your options are either to get a tourist visa, a working holiday visa, a temporary business stay visa or apply for permanent residency (or marry a citizen!). Details can be found at http://www.immi.gov.au/

If you are confident in your skills and happy to go contracting, then one medium-risk option would be to come here as a tourist , have a bit of a holiday and then contact a management company. They can take a look at your CV and if they are happy that you can work, they will sponsor you for a business visa (up to 4 years). You will then work as a contractor through agencies, paying a small percentage to the management company.

Obviously this advice is informal.
