A Tastier Destiny Awaits

I'm sure you've seen that Rice Krispie Squares advert? Geordie Bob saying: "Joe used to work in the frozen section, then he just left saying a tastier destiny awaits."

Well that was so nearly me. Except I work in the chilled section, not frozen.

I had a place to live, financial support, a job and connections in Melbourne, Australia.

However, recent visa changes have stopped me getting a visa and going to Australia and taking up my dream job, it was confirmed today.

The skilled migration criteria has changed and I am now not eligible due to my qualifications and career choice not being on a skilled occupation list (SOL).

I am devastated and feel it is a little unfair considering I had all the other things in place but that's just life isn't it?

At least the ad cheered me up a bit. I have no idea what my next step, if anything, is from here. Too carry on applying for journo jobs after so many rejections or is it just not meant to be?
