Land Surveyors, how is the current job market situation?

I'm planning to go to Western Australia by Sept-Oct this year. I have tried applying while still outside Australia pero wala pang mga reply (The big 3 jobsites + Linkedin + Workabroad) Though I keep getting calls and emails for middle east & Sg jobs. I have no friends who are in my line of work in Australia, even batchmates in college (very few practice my line of work) majority goes GIS, kaya mahirap i-gauge ang situation. What I've noticed in SOL is that they have a ceiling for surveyors (960) but they have only gotten (25) last 2013. That's a good thing, right? But I also know that there is slowdown in the construction and mining sectors.

Are there any Surveyors or anybody involved in Geomatics, that can point me in the right direction? Many thanks to your replies.

GE rin ako pero di ako nagpractice as surveyor hehe. Anyway, sabi ng friends ko karamihan daw ng mga GE napupunta sa Brisbane, so I guess most of the jobs are there.

workabroad.ph -- it's one of the largest work database websites sa pinas. though i should warn you. most of it are middle-east jobs. and makulit mga agencies. tawag ng tawag.
