Cheer up. Probably looking for other industry. I applied to QS consultant and they don't give a shit chance to me.
However, joined building company to rebuild something from scratch. Still come to square one, money or experience 1st??

Got my PR approved. Now planning my move. I'm hoping to work in Melbourne. Anything there for electronics engineer?

if switch industry, any advise which is good to switch to? Is Automotive advisable?

If you want to work as an electronics engineer you've come at the wrong time. Because our national design and manufacturing is in the shitter.

The most lucrative electronics work is for defence contracts and they only hire citizens. Automotive is crap because the government has pulled back all subsidies, the last car manufacturer in Australia, Toyota is aiming for a 2016 pull out. Plus electronics jobs are a lot more prevalent in Sydney.

Move to Sydney instead. Or even better, join us hardhat wearing bastids in the gas fields, good money while it lasts. Somemore can surf LYN while working

Holden is closing their plant in Geelong. Ford is closing shifting their platform to Thailand. Toyota pull out 2016. Well, we're buying all imported cars soon. Bye bye to local Ozzie made cars.
However, heard that the car price will drop a little....hopefully

Well, market is pretty quiet lately. Even my company housing sales drop with the housing price hiking like nobody business.

Why choose Melb?

Good luck there and make full use of your visa!!
Which state are you going?

Gas as in O&G? not sure I qualify for this field. Will they higher an electronics engineer?

I've not really made a full decision yet just that Melbourne seems like a nice place to try out at. A good mix of art, urban and nature. Truth is, the first place I considered when I first contemplated moving to Australia is Melbourne, because I actually got a reply from there for a job offer. Needless to say I didn't get it because I was overseas.

Manufacturing for cars is out but I believe maintenance for them will never die out? That's the automotive side I was thinking about though I realize I won't make a good living from that.

Any good places for giving birth?

Why not? It's not like this business is based off rocket science wat. If you have a degree and enough experience, they'll hire you.

Well to maintain a car and work as an automotive electrician or any other form of automotive tech you need a Cert III, to get a cert III requires you finish a 3 year apprenticeship, which is crap because they pay apprentices about 12 dollars an hour. To open your own business you need a Cert III to apply for a license anyway.

I generally know because I did an electrician's apprenticeship while working as an engineer under my employer's sponsorship. Remember that many jobs here are "regulated" by the states and their laws.

I'd hold back on getting any potentially "unrecognised" qualifications and just jump in with savings, hope for the best and tough out the first 2 years. That's how we all start out.

Accounting students being trolled in the media right now

I reckon that you have to do deep research on where to settle down. Of course you won't want to settle down in Hobart based on your profession. You'll freeze and starve till death.
Anyway, the bigger city give a better opportunity to work but living expenses is mad.
If you wanna settle down, think whichever the best for your job prospects. Good luck

Normal lar

Not a good time to immigrate to Australia especially to SYD/MEL. Plenty of professionals looking for jobs.

Are you saying I should delay my move?

I reckon after christmas somewhere February to April

my plan is to move over around mid March.
Another question is, did you all get a membership at engineers australia?

Unless you're aiming for CPEng or RPEQ status it isn't really required in industry.

source please. Sorry, aus media kind of

drop more...if china car to come in

Chinese car already here lar. Some brand not too bad, Great Wall seems popular here. Proton ganasai. Hardly seen Preve

Source of what? They're being trolled so no need for a source.

I am also being trolled by extension though I am not an accountant or accounting student.

I feel it was the other way around for me, maybe because I'm in the Risk area..
