I'm currently working in Singapore but I just find out the life there is not suitable to me...
Looking forward if possible to work in Australia..But I heard there racist chinese?  

Heck if you're earning enough I'd suggest getting a loan on a house instead of renting.

Or if you're particularly evil, just get an investment loan, buy a house, rent it to someone and get them to sublet you one room. Claim all losses on negative gearing and get back your tax money.

True. All work needs getting used to. I'm bombarded with SIMOPS emails throughout the day now. In my old company it was literally "Do whatever the feck you want as long as you get the work sheet for the day done, we won't bother you"

Well, what the bank doesn't know.......seriously, in the 7 years I banked with CBA they have not once asked for any proof of residency or citizenship. They just assume I'm local because I set up my account with a local driver's license . Also TR is usually no impediment to a house loan as the bank has the house as security, although it pays to keep your LVR low.

Lending criteria is quite easy actually, the difference is in the amount they'll loan you. Banks generally only require that your job be a permanent position and you have 3 months worth of payslips. As long as you have no bad debts or payment records you're all good.

Note that if you do not make any requests for credit or increase any limits, your credit score goes up by around 2 to 3 percent every 3 months. Barring bad records of course.

I know of a friend who is currently the Director of Sales for Sunway Lost World. He is intending to migrate to Aus. Would he be able to find a suitable job?

457 is a temporary resident visa which need to be sponsored by business. If you are looking for PR, you should go for 189 or 190.

By the way, construction project engineer should be fall on civil/structural engineer and civil/structural engineer has to be assessed by Engineers Australia.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

My major is Mechatronic Engineering for degree. Finding for engineering job =D, oh is very easy to apply but the criteria to fulfil is very hard is it? Got any useful reference link for it? Thanks you in advance

I am working in Australia as a constrction site engineer, but i am home sick after being away from home for years. Feel like i want to move back to Malaysia although i can earn more in Australia.

Hi, all. I just lodged my 189 visa yesterday. Wondering how long before a case officer will be assigned.

In the mean time I am applying for work from here and have had 2 replies from recruitment companies. Any chances of actually landing a job before getting to Aus?

I wanna explore opportunity to works in Aussie, mind sharing where to start? (maybe from posts in this tread, fb page or website)

TIA 

I plan to find a job in Australia coming next year May ~ June. Next year I will be 29, and I have 5 years in .Net software engineer/web design. I know their taxes and living cost is high, but their wages is high too. Yet, I still have few doubts, lets discuss:

1. should I apply for a visa first then only hunt for job? or the other way round?
2. I know it's hard for us to get a job there since we are foreigner, my friend suggest me to take my master in Australia. While studying, hunt for a part time job to pay for the daily expenses and the master fee itself(it wont be easy). after finished my master (1-2 years later), it's more easy for me to get hired. (this is what he did in UK)

P/S: Canada and UK is under my consideration as well. still dilemma which country to choose

Guys hope it is ok i ask this here bcs i cannot find any working in England thread.

Anyone working in England or work there b4? Wta every time you come back to renew your visa how long will it take???

well i actually hoping to be there physically to attend interviews and so fort and ofcourse i will go according to the legal process such returning back here to get the proper paper works done by legal system. main point is that, would i stand a better chance getting employed when im physically there?

funny thing about foreigners working in Oz. They never want say they are from their homeland.
Suddenly everybody is form Oz mate. 

I am in Malaysia, have been sending numerous job applications for months and yet to receive a positive response.

i think most need to get out of the illusion that you are going to retain your current position and status post migration.

Instead take it as an opportunity for new beginings a chance to retool, relearn, enjoy life...not everyone is migrating with a vision of being the next bill gates or zukerberg,

for me a good life for my kids is the most important, education that is based on current standards is ranked 14 in the world vs our 52 or is it 62 who knows nowadays.

i spend circa 40k a year to keep my kid in international school, not that I'm rich but wtf! i shouldn't be doing this cause i pay taxes and my kids deserve a better environment and  school system. why the f should i pay for international school ? cause reality is the current school system is just crap.

anyways if you're single i guess its a lot to think about if the decision to migrate is right.

but for me if i calculate the cost of education till uni for my kid, quality of their life its cheaper to migrate ... the risk for me is worth it...

to each its own, no one can say migrating is right, neither can we advice others to make the decision. its something personal , carpe diem folks
