hello,
I have worked for eight years in UAE dubai as a Factory manager/ industrial automation engineer, my wife is australian and she want our lives to be based in Melbourne Australia..So I left my job and flew to Australia hoping that with more than 10 years worth of experience in my field I wouldn't have difficulty finding a job.
However, I have been looking for jobs since January and still I am not being able to find a job. I learnt by doing I have done CNC machinery from scratch , programmed uncountable PLCs and upgraded hundreds of machines from scratch by my self...but I haven't got a Degree!!! so what??? it doesnt prove me stupid.
alot of people out there have degrees but they dont know how to solve real world problems by them selves and are some times unreliable...why base every thing on a piece of paper and not give guys like me a chance to prove them selves in real.
is there anyone in Australia who knows a way for me to get a qualification based on my 10 years worth of experience? I have got pictures, short videos, and diagrams to prove my ability to build any system from scratch. I have a reference form the multi-national company where I worked for the last eight years I sent it to TRA a place where you assess your skills, however... I paid 300$AU and sent reference pics and diagrams signed by me. 2 weeks later I receive a letter by mail from a person called: Chang yuan somthing ( I dont recall the name but sounded like that) saying that I dont qualify and the employement letter was too short..he/she didn't even call me nor called the company I worked for to check my achievements etc. althought, my employement letter stated that I worked for eight years as an engineer and it specified that I have designed pneumatic, hydraulic, PLC and CNC systems etc.
can any one (in australia) PLEASE tell me where I can go and personally assess my skills ? and get a qualification ?
thanks and sorry to say too much I am just a bit frustrated.
best regards. K
