Hi Siri

Well, you just can't beat the West - Western Australia that is. Great clima=
te, relaxed attitude and great place to raise kids (I have two myself).

We are in a huge economic boom, especially here in the West, and there are =
lots of jobs. Recruitment companies here in Perth that tend to advertise th=
e lion's share of technical communication jobs are:
http://www.talentinternational.com.au/ Talent International
http://www.candlerecruit.com/ Candle Recruitment
http://www.ambit.com.au/about/ Ambit Recruitment.

May I also suggest you sign up on Seek.com and set up profiles that match b=
oth your's and your husband's skills if you haven't already?

In saying all of this, be mindful that there is a big housing shortage Aust=
ralia-wide because of the boom, so unless you have friends or relatives to =
stay with you will find it tough going to find housing.

All the best =

Hello Everyone,
Greetings to you.

It is great to be a part of this mailing list and get useful tips on
technical writing. I am a writer based out of India. I am planning to
relocate to Australia to continue with my career in TW. Could anyone kindly=

provide me with some tips and list of consultants who can help me out with
this. Is it a must to take IELTS exam? And, is there anyway we can get in
touch with companies from India.

Even my husband is a technical writer. We both are looking at working in
Australia. We have 6+ years experience in TW, worked with tools like Adobe
FrameMaker, RoboHelp, WebWorks etc. We have worked with companies like i2,
SAP, Hyperion, etc.

It would be great if you could also provide some details about schools in
Australia as well and their fee structure. I have a three year old son, who=

will be moving with us.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks and Regards,
Siri Sood
