  2. I used to be a web designer don't spend anything on SEO it has all changed now search engines don't use all the old meta tags and other coding jargon any more they just read your content, so the better and specific to the point sites rank higher. MT Tree Services Home
  3. Hi guys I know this is a big ask but does anyone know of anyone who has either gone to work in Tenerife or knows of companies there? I'm a good climber with all the right tickets loads of experience with big take downs, lowering, pruning etc. The sooner the better. Cheers Mike
  4. Well I've just had a second interview and they said there keen and have loads of work? Maybe there looking for good climbers Matt as long as your under 50 and can find a company to sponsor you you won't have a problem if you have the skills and experience.

  9. I've just found out 10 minutes ago I don't have to go down the route of spending thousands to do a state sponsor I can actually just get a 457 visa costing a lot less so I don't mind paying for that. I've been climbing for a couple of years and grounded for 6 months previously. I've currently got the following: CS30, CS31, CS32, CS38, CS39, CS40, UA1, UA2.1, UA2.2, UA2.3. Manual Handling & First aid. Full CLEAN licence. Willing to get any other tickets it takes! Please pm me if you have any vacancies or would like my CV can provide references. Cheers
  10. Thanks for that very informative site hopefully if I can an employer I can use the site a bit more :-)
  11. Thanks have emailed them a couple of days ago asking about visas don't want to sound pushy maybe I'll email them later with a c.v.
  12. P.S. have been looking at either Darwin or Cairns if that helps
  13. Hey everyone i'm back again..... Asking about Australia again...... Just wondering where can I find an employer that can sponsor me for a 457 as im too old for the easy option visa (over 31). I don't mind footing the bill for the visa as i'll need to pay extra anyway to add my spouse and kids onto the visa. Thanks in advance any contact numbers/names of employers who can help would be brilliant. Cheers Mike
  14. Nice I'm so jealous right now Might see you in a couple of years
  15. Thanks that's what I was trying to get at a bit of work experience but didn't want to sell my self to cheap lol. I'm worth more than that Well Sydney seems to be best options flights wise and with Australia being a big country didn't want to get lost! Although an hour North isn't the end of the world after a 36 hour flight ha ha
  16. Hi guys don't know if you read my other post but I'm planning on coming over in a couple of years. So as per advice given we've decided to do a couple of weeks in August to check out the weather lifestyle etc. Does anyone know of anyone that might be able to give me a week or so in work when I get there? (I know I won't be officially working there not sure I can without the correct visa) but maybe a job on the side 'wink' 'wink' please could you guys spread the word I could really do with some help :-). Thanks in advance. Mike.
  17. Mate if I Get an offer I'm going to rip their arm off!
  18. When you say work away how long away is it? As we can compromise as the goal is to live in Australia
  19. why Australia? why not? Every Con that I hear people say is a Pro in my book...Desolation, Heat, Distance from U.K....but don't get me wrong I really appreciate all of your input good or bad. Just because I've never been somewhere doesn't mean I wouldn't like it. My kids haven't been to Disney land either but that doesn't put them off ha ha.
  20. Thanks for all the input guys. Really glad it sounds like it's never too late if you put your mind to it First things first better start looking for a job over there! No I haven't been there and it's not very easy to pop over on a climbers wage when atm i'm supporting a student wife and 4 young kids. Can't just up and leave them all for a month while I go flying round the world. I have no doubts (we to be exact) that Oz is for me I hate the cold months here and the warm ones are getting shorter! Also I have my heating on 30 in my house all year round as I'm always cold! Also don't mind living in the middle of nowhere as I already do here in Cornwall nearest town in nearly 10 miles from my house I love the seclusion keep yourself to yourself and you can't upset anyone ha ha. Cheers guys better get updating my CV haven't done that in a awhile! Oh and Merry Xmas to everyone
  21. She's actually in the process of doing an ODP degree (working in surgery) so maybe that would be best?
  22. Ok I've probably asked this before but not been here for a month or two.... First Hurdle....I'm 31 (32 in Feb) Second Hurdle....Wife and 4 Kids...... Good bits..... I've Got..... CS30, 31, 32, 38, 39, 40. UA 1, 2. First Aid. 2 Years Experience on Power lines. How can I (we) get to Oz???? Regards Mike.
  23. yeah my thoughts too i also think the employers will also need me to have a couple of years experience first before wanting me, but the problem with this is i'm not getting any younger i was hoping to hear from somone who has had these issues and managed to move over there. as i dont think knowledge of this problem would be as good as actual experience in this. Thanks though.
  24. Hi there everyone just a bit of advice really. I'm 31 years (way too) old and have just started climbing (6 months) and been grounding for about a year. I want to take the leap down under, but have a few problems as follows.... 1. I'm too old I think. - Not physically just under Oz' rules. 2. I have a wife and 3 soon to be 4 children. 3. Not been climbing very long. So the big question is can I still do it?? With the family it would cost a fortune to pop over for a month then come back and then sort it out to move, my life has always been do first think second and i've never regretted it so i won't start now. Any advice other then read the immigration page would be appriciated as ive done this hundreds of times and all i can see is i can only get over sponsered and that's just me really. Thanks in advance. Mike
  25. This is the exact advice I was looking for as i'm going for an interview for my first ever groundie job so very nervous, so thanks for the advice even though it wasn't me asking the question Also ive had the unluckyist 2 weeks ever last week when i was taking my 31 i decided to burn my arms with hot fat, and yesterday i decided to damage my finger and think it maybe broken do u think i should keep this quiet in the interview?
