Immigration is still breaking records year on year with the volume of professionals entering the country but all I am seeing at the moment is no jobs for them to go into.” I have been recruiting in this industry for 22 years, and seen a lot during this time. I specialize in Accountancy, and every week I receive emails from people in Australia whom have arrived on the "skills" visa and seeking employment, these applicant have experience within their own country, however, employers in the Tax field do not want them if they do not have Australian Tax experience. They say they take too long to train, we don't have the time. These applicants end up working in retail or labour jobs, its a shame, however, the immigration department continue to send them over. I believe that we have enough now, we cant even find jobs for our own Australian people and that saddens me greatly. This has been happening for a while now, what a waste, they all end up on our dole system. Have a great day. Regards Gill Hi Philip
