Hi all, I lost my job couple of months ago and it seems that here (in Ireland) just there are no information security jobs anymore. (I consider myself overqualified for phone support or admin jobs...) I have applied for the Australian PR, the embassy wrote me back quoting a 3 months processing time, after which I am supposed to get it, so I will be able to live and work there (if I do not find anything interesting here)
Any advice on job market? Should I try to find a job from overseas before performing the actual move (I do not have any friends/relatives there, heading for Sydney)? Will any agencies be interested in me at this stage?
