Hi Chris,

How is your German? Also what work would you be looking to do?

Sadly I am no expert with the Red White Red card, but I can look in to it.

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the reply.

I have no German experience I would claim in a CV - although I can catch a phrase or two.

I am into Programme & Project management - started in Electrical engineering in the power generation and distribution industry and ended up in IT Project management through evolution in the work place. I worked in several types of industries over the years (Telco, Rail, Utilities, Business continuity & DR and today I am in the Oil and Gas IS for Retail space). in my original post I mentioned I applied for a position - this was at GE for a Program position not sure if this will go anywhere though. I also noticed on migration.gv.at that Electrical & Power Technical posts are on the short skills list - so I am not fussy to stay in ICT if I can find something in that space where I originally started.

I have tried for several years to get into Belgium and then started to read on Austria and one day I stumbled across the Red White Red card thing but there is no indication if this will actually work to find employment while still abroad.
The main problem is that you need a contract of employment to apply for the EU Blue or other residence and work permits and on the other end you need the previous before an employer will consider you for an interview as a minimum. Employment agencies are also of no assistance in this regard through past experience gained.

I would really appreciate any help i can get .

Thanks again

Chris
