I arrived in Feb on 190 Finance Mgr Visa. Found job in a week. My predecessor in his role said it is very hard to find decent people in payroll and accounting positions. A strong candidate who is switched on with the right attitude shoudl do fine.
NOTE - I stayed up late at night in the UK to call recruiters in the morning Aus time. This paid off dividends, as one of the relationships I built off the back of this got me a job. It shows you have the right attitude to go the extra mile.
Do some research on schools and boroughs. People have told me the belt from left to right is the safest. Don't stray too far north or south.
