Based on a review of the literature, it was hypothesised that acculturation, interpersonal and task job-seeking self-efficacy, locus of control, assertiveness, English fluency, length of residence, age, and gender predicted employment status of professionally qualified immigrants. Data were obtained from 55 employed and 62 unemployed professionally qualified immigrants. A discriminant function analysis revealed that unemployed immigrants spent fewer years in Australia and reported lower confidence in both their interpersonal and task job-seeking skills compared with employed immigrants. Acculturation, English fluency, age, and gender were not predictive of employment status. The findings were interpreted as providing suggestions for training interventions for unemployed immigrants
