I would like to apply online position of manager in hotels. Do u guys think its possible? 8 years experience in hotels. No cert. my current job is traveling south east asia to advise on food and beverage industry. Give training as well. Hows the pay like?

Anyway can help? Can the company give me the visa to work there? Is it possible? I do know a lot of directors in malaysia that can recommend me to aus. For example hotels like shangrila, westin, sofitel....

Unfortunately it does not tell a lot of the actual demand

Even the job is listed in the demand list skill, it does not mean that you are able to get a job easily in Oz. Their hiring process is very much different from Malaysia. They paid very detailed attention your experience and always preferred with local experience. So landing the first job is always the toughest.

If it is for your kiddos, you can always send them here to study and apply for PR and eventually get a job. That is the easier path.

i am aussie PR. qualified accountant. back in 2009. cannot find job. every day send application, from CFO position to a/c clerk position, also no proper interview. job agency will interview u, but it's like you just fill in the number for another guy to get the job.

but relative an engineer, got a good job. now proly aud 200k a year. only mining do well. if u over 35 yo. difficult. they dun wan to hire u thinking u will leave after they train u. stupid .

my fren work their in hotel. when he was 30 yo, he went over. had to start from bottom. hardest part, is report to younger & less experienced aussie. they all can talk until bird come down, but when u need doing. maybe 1 out of 10 can do only. he said aussie very rank conscious. once he got a small promotion, people start to see him as a person.

now my fren in perth. another hotel. supervise few aussie. like monkeys he said.

i dun know but i got feeling it's like bangla in msia. they do jobs we dun like to do. u go u become bangla..

my experience, u think they welcome u with open arms ? no.

Polite to u ? yes, if they are not drunk.

all this in perth. maybe melbourne / sydnet better.

but perth is mining town booming.

unless u dun mind work in factory or kitchen. at least get min pay , about aud36000 a year.

stupid, i got skilled migration, but go work for factory. all this for my kids education....? some will do.

maybe better for next generation. otherwise, just go over for easy life. not stress.

I personally think racist happens everywhere, even Singaporean look down on Malaysian. I have a question to ask regarding PR, is it easier to apply for PR if you have job sponsorship by AU company? Will it be as easy as getting PR in SG after working for 1 or 2 years in AU, and then you can apply for AU PR?

I might potentially get a job in AU, and need to start looking for accomodation. Company location is in Melbourne. Is anyone here looking for housemate?

are there many pple interested to come to au to work? hmmm. anyw hi guys im in oz now woo

what if my engineering degree is not in the list, but I have a family member who is a citizen (not PR)? would that be of enough points?

how about IT jobs like network engineer there? any chance get a job there? Western Australia? anyone heard of 457 visa mining?

I remember last time there was a very informative forum about Australia migration called globalmalaysians forum, but i can't find it now. Anyone know what happened to it?

okay I got my W&H visa for Australia, can some of those who have been on this advice on getting Tax File Number, Opening Bank Account and Medicare stuff? x.x as I ask this I am actually doing my homework as well and googling so I'm not expecting to be spoonfed guys! Just want your advice!

thanks!!

TAX:

shows how to be considered an aus res/foreign res. foreign res pays more tax.. not recommended if planning to have a more permanent job - better if temp jobs on the go

You're saying it's possible to apply for PR without having been to Australia?? 

why does UK not have this system??

For those who wish to apply for OZ PR after July 2012, don't put too much hope on it. The new SkillSelect policy is really tough and time consuming. Just Google skillselect for the new changes on the immigration policy

I have gotten my PR 2 months ago. It was based on the 2011 policy, it took 5 months for the entire process(Quite fast). I applied the PR through an agent in Malaysia and went through a lot of procedures. Here's the summary of it:

IELTS + Skills Accessment (Prepare certs, employment history signed by HR or manager) + State Approval (Optional if you do not have enough points)+Lodge Visa ($$$) + Health Check + Police Clearence = PR

Total damage is Rm20k++

As the policy changed, if one wish to migrate now, either enrol in the new Expresion of interest policy, or find an employer locally and transfer you there, once u worked for 2 years + ask the employer to sponsor you a PR. Looking for a job in OZ without a PR is tough, some say its the minimum requirement for each professional job.

Now I need to look for a job and a place to stay before I travel to OZ. I have not received any job offer yet although have applied a lot online...

Bravo   

Is true that it is slightly easier to get a job if your address and phone number is in OZ. Since you get your PR approved, it means that they are still lack of experties like you in Australia. There are still chances! May I know what job are you looking for and in which part of Australia?

sifus! i'm applying for a PR under the new EOI system. have done my IELTS and such.

after doing the points calculation, i have 60 points (minimum requirement is 60 points). my agent is suggesting i should go with a state sponsorship since i'm on the borderline passing mark. apparently state sponsorship would be faster for my case (push my points up to 65) and since my skills are listed on SOL 1, it's best to apply for the faster route in case things get harder and harder in the future/my skills are not listed as high demand anymore.

problem is, state sponsorship costs AUD1200. so i'm wondering, is it really necessary to go this way? the cost is so high leh

I think I'm applying for Visa 189. But my agent says I should get a state sponsorship with that visa, apparently it'll increase my chances. I don't even know if that makes any sense. And they're charging me AUD1200 for that. Really unsure where that figure comes from.

And regarding IELTS, I did mine in British Council Malaysia. If you register online, you get a free online course so you can get acquainted with the format. I scored an 8 (I'm a native English speaker). I did find that the test was pretty tricky though.

Hey Guys, I have PR and moving to Victoria soon. But I plan to look for a job before leaping over like a kangaroo.

Is it really tough to look for a job outside Australia? I have not received any interviews although I've submitted a few job applicastions online. I'm in IT field by the way, I received lots job offers in SG..and none in AU..its weird right

I guess I have no choice but submerge myself first...

Since he said he has PR, wouldn't it help with job application? Just thinking out aloud, perhaps you could do simple work whilst looking for a proper job? I don't mean to be rude or condescending, but how about working at a fast food joint? It isn't that bad right?

Not really a good idea cause you have to compete with graduates from uni right?

working exp in malaysia not equals to working exp for australia
-if possible, apply job in malaysia, if accepted then move over. chances of getting job straight is low (unless u have network n friends)
