Thanks for your advise . I am 58 and jobless since my retrenchment in 2001 after working for MNC in a senor position for more than 28 years in real estate industry responsible for few mega projects development in Asia. After retrenchment try very hard to secure similar job regardless of salary package via newspaper or internet but received no respond . The only respond was that I am over experiences . It is sad to be drop out in this society at this age therefore seeking other alternative and advise or suggestion .

There is an age limit (45?) for migration to Australia, but a Business visa is what we called a "visa of last resort". Do take a look at www.immi.gov.au to see what options you have.

People of your age group (Babyboomers) are still be sought after in the Australian workplace. But if you are prepared to start from a lower position, your chances of getting employment is good.

Qualification matters but your recent track record is even more important in seeking work. Anyway, in Australia, we do not look down on people's jobs, even that construction worker who hold the SLOW/STOP lollipop sign earns up to $80k a year standing in the sun or rain.
