Vanessa and Pia talk about both moving to Australia and moving overseas as an Australian.

Vanessa starts the talk off about Australian moving overseas, her top tips are:

• Being very organised and doing all your research (client, agencies, recruiters) prior to moving
   
• Having the right visas and working rights for the country you want to move to
   
• Checking your expectations: Understanding the type of work you can get overseas compared to your current role

Pia then talks from her experience about being a European moving to Australia, she recommends:

• when to talk to recruiters and the importance of articulating where you are in your journey (just dreaming/exploring? visa granted? landed in the country?)
   
• considering the time of year to arrive in Australia
   
• being realistic about your finances and whether it is the right time to move
   
• understanding your chances of sponsorship and finding work in Australia
   
• connecting with people in your industry prior to arriving (use LinkedIn!)
   
• seeking out salary guides to get an understanding of how much your experience is worth in Australia
