Hi Russ, congratulations on the Masters!

Xpand seem to do a lot of recruiting in UX in Melb and Sydney. A couple of contacts attached.

But first I would directly contact:
Stamford Interactive    Melbourne
The Hiser Group         Melbourne and Sydney
Different                       Sydney
(Do this first, because no doubt Xpand will try and introduce you into these firms. Tell Xpand you are already talking to them.)

You might also want to post a little note to the CHISIG mailing list: chisigmail at chisig.org (Join at chisig.org)

Keep me posted!
Shane

Hi Shane,

We met briefly at a workshop at the BCS HCI 2006 conference in London. I mentioned that I was thinking about living and working in Australia, and you gave me your business card.

I have now finished my Masters in Human-Centred Systems and am looking into finding a User Experience role in Australia, probably Sydney or Melbourne. I was wondering if you knew of any User Experience-focused recruitment agencies or consultancies I could look into. Or if you knew of any junior-to-mid-level User Experience roles coming up at the moment.

I read on your web site that you are now at Microsoft.
Congratulations! I hope you are enjoying your time there.

Thanks for your time, and I hope to hear from you.

Kind regards,

Russ Sese
