Freelance work to being hired? Is this possible?

[Us_to_AU]

Ok... since no one can seem to answer my other post.... I came up with this thought....

Could I be contracted out for work from an Australian company while I'm in the states and then that company "hires" me to work for them as an employee? Or does the australian company still have to post the job position, even tho I'm qualified for what they're looking for and just want to flat out hire me?

Does that make sense?

I'm a graphic designer... and my gf's company needs a graphic designer. They want to "hire" me but they can't just yet... can they contract me as a freelancer (overseas) and then later hire me on as a permanent employee - then I move there?

I really need an answer if anyone can help.

Sorry... all I see is a bit of information about Australia and a bunch of google ads...

If you don't think me rude, how old are you? I ask because we have, I believe, a holiday/part time work visa for people under...hmm.. 30 (or 28?). Perhaps if you got some contract work with that company while here, you could network from there.

I'm not sure whether we have a lack of designers - I work in that sort of industry and there always seems to be lots of graphic design and web design jobs advertised.

However, you could also try putting an ad in one of the advertising industry magazines (like Ad News) and let the entire industry know why they should sponsor you. It's worked before...

No... not rude... LOL..

I'm 41... but...

I'm not going to AU on a work visa.

We've sorted it out... I'll be leaving the US at end of April beginning of May... our troubles are over!

We found a way to be together... (I'm in an LDR)
