I was thinking of applying an Aus PR a few months ago coz I heard my occupation as a mechanical engineer has quite a strong demand there. However, most job ads that I came across require PR/citizen. Since I do not have enough points (only got 115/120...sad), I am unable to get PR. One possible way is to get 2 years job exp in Aus to secure another 15 points...more than enough for me to get PR by then.

The problem is....If I cant get a PR, I cant get a job. If I cant get a job, I cant get a PR. Sienz

I kinda feel is a chicken and egg situation for me....Dunno which one comes first.

Another option is to go for state sponsorship. I am eligible for that but the downside will be having myself stucked in the state for a few years.

Any advice?
