About Ailís

[Founder of tribus lingua]

Moving to Australia is one of the most challenging [and rewarding] journeys you’ll ever experience.  Too often, I see the most amazing, professional migrants - with years of experience - struggle because they try to do it all themselves and never reach out for support and guidance.

When I arrived in Sydney I was unaware of the competition for jobs. 
I had done very little research and planning.  I made incorrect assumptions about the Australian job market.  One of my main assumptions believed that because I was Irish and had a successful corporate career it would be easy for me to get a job.

I knew very little about the job market in my field. 
I had no idea how different the Australian IT market was and what jobs to apply for with my skills.  I even used a two-page resume, which is not usual in Australia.


For the first three months I felt like I was on holidays.  
It was a joyful experience to go to the beaches and I felt very relaxed.  As time passed, I started to worry about finances and how long I - and my partner - could survive without jobs.  The initial excitement wore off and I missed my friends and family.


I started job-hunting in earnest. 
I used online job boards and sent my application to jobs I thought I suited.  My job-hunting process followed the same path almost all skilled migrants use - and is basically the wrong approach.  I would sit at home on my computer and keep sending out resumes over and over again, thinking it’s a numbers game.  I either heard nothing back or I was sent a polite email rejection.  I found this very confronting.

I began to lose confidence in myself.  
Weeks passed with no sign of any possibility to get a job.  I began to get really down on myself and it became a very dark time that I won’t forget.  I began to question my decision and regretted moving to Australia. During this time I got into a state of mind that was very depressing – my mind felt like a broken record, constantly repeating thoughts about getting a job.


These feelings come from the body’s natural mechanism to deal with fear.  Our reaction to fear is fight or flight and I used dark thoughts to try and escape what I perceived to be a terrible situation.  Later on, I would realise that this is a creation of the mind and is not remotely helpful!

This happens to the majority of skilled migrants who come here unprepared for the challenge.

Your mind starts asking the following questions:

Did I make a mistake moving to Australia?

What am I doing here?

Did I make the right decision?

And this leads you to start to blame Australia and not yourself.

Would you hire a person in this state of mind?  

No.  

This is not an emotional state that makes getting a job possible.

​

Australia is unique and different.

Australia’s systems differ dramatically from the rest of the Western world.


What did I discover?


I learned what works in a resume for Australia. I learned that my emotional state of mind made all the difference in moving forward and finding job opportunitites.  I started making connections and focussed on industry research. Things began to change and I had interview appointments. But something still was not right.


I knew in my heart that I needed to do something else.  So I made the courageous decision to set up my own company to help skilled migrants and moved to Melbourne all in one go.  


I knew that I could help skilled migrants master the challenges of moving to Australia.


As a result of my own experience I am uniquely positioned to help skilled migrants succeed.

​Testimonial

“Double blessings – Ailis's coaching was incredible.  I got a job as a Business Banker with one of Australia's leading banks and guess what? My wife got a customer service Banking Job, also in the very same week.  We are thrilled – we could not have done this without you.”

- Ade [from Nigeria now working as a Business Banker in Melbourne]

The things that bring about my success rate with skilled migrants is twenty years of corporate experience interviewing and hiring staff as a senior manager.  I know what employers are looking for.


I have overcome the skilled migrant challenge of succeeding in Australia myself.  My corporate experience in Ireland, the UK, the USA, Japan and China includes interviewing people from many different countries (with professional backgrounds in IT, engineering, accounting and management).  My experience working in different cultures gives me a greater understanding of what you need to succeed.

I love living in Australia now and I probably moved here for the same reasons as you:

- A chance for a better life.

There are great job opportunities in Australia but what you need to ensure you take advantage of these opportunities is a system that works.  Together we will go through secret tactics that will land you a good job in Australia.  You will have a whole new approach to job hunting that you can use throughout your career.

This course is about real world knowledge of what works to get a great job. 

There are a lot of myths about skilled migrants and jobs in Australia.  

You will find lots of stories about skilled migrants who did not get jobs or who are driving taxis!  Everywhere you search you will hear about what is called "local experience".  This means that Australian employers will only hire people who have worked in Australia.  But this obstacle can be overcome with the right job-hunting strategies.  

 
You have made a courageous choice and you deserve a job at your professional level.  

Using the right system will help you succeed in Australia.

 
In this course I will share amazing examples of skilled migrants’ success stories.  These examples are based on a job success system I developed over ten years.  The course is a ten part lesson plan that takes you step by step through the system.
 

I want you to join me in THIS process of thinking differently about your job hunt and to take this scary, amazing journey with me.  Let us focus on your unique, authentic self to stand out from the crowd and make it in Australia.  

I am going to inspire you to your greatest potential in Australia using a system that works!
