I would like to share my experience to those who are interested to know about working and migrating to Australia.

I have graduated for almost 6 months been to a few interviews but still couldn't manage to get an accounting job or a proper full time job. I have been waitressing every since I got to Australia part time through out my uni and till now. I started with $12 an hour at an asian takeaway, $16/h at a Japanese dining now I am working at a Mexican restaurant for $20 an hour.

Apart from that, IELTS is screwing with me, took the test twice and couldn't pass the friggin' writing component..and it's just 0.5 point shy.

I am trying to beat time here, if I could not get a point 7 mark for my writing by the end of June, I would either have to marry my OZ bf or go through professional year or get hired in an accounting firm and work there for a year to get my PR.

It takes a lot of time, money and effort to get a PR. So to those who want to migrate, please don't be up in the clouds thinking the sky is bluer the grass is greener and the people smile more even though it is true, there are other factors here that would really frustrate the hell outta you. it depends on how strong your survival skills are.

Australia can offer a more laid back and secure life style in the long run, so if you really want to live here, u have to keep fighting and don't give up. Try making it a habit to send at least one resume a day. and don't be affraid to call up and ask for the job. they want to know you are the person for the job so prove them that fact. be courteos but show them you have the smarts too.
