has been discussed thousand times..
very hard to apply if u r not in Au, they wont even consider u unless ur skill is ver niche.

u need insider friend recommend u then easier
like annielee said, u gotta be niche or really really damm good like coming from google/microsoft/apple/ibm.

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

another advise, nov - jan is sorta quiet period..
so come in feb... :-)

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?

well.. you have to fight with a lot of 'competitors' in Oz as well..
for casual jobs (like fast food or supermarket), the younger u r, ur hourly rate will be cheaper.. (of course the legal rate/hour)
for professional job, u need to compete with those local grads and also australian and even those who got local experience..

my advise is dont think with PR is easy to get u a job, it's just ur 1st step into the australia job market..
just be prepare..

Thanks for the reply. Always been wanting to find opportunities to work there but haven't really been successful furthermore the other issue is obtaining a PR status

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

fresh graduates have it really tough to find themselves a job! speaking from experience and from my friends!

nothing about grads..its the year end holiday.. and it will be quiet..
not much hiring as well..

depends on type of graduate you are, ur uni, ur experience, the amount of pay u want and ur visa status.

remb, if u say work for free 1 year, and have masters with exp, who don't want u

ya la, by fresh grads, i meant one without working experience.. should have clarified..

working exp makes all the difference

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)

its very very low chances u will get a job offer when you are still in malaysia..

still better than spending every day over months to find a job thats related in ur career.
if u want to be waiter or investor or others capalang then can fly straightlar

remb cost of living is higher and currency is 3.2, don't want to be unemployed for too long.

well, there is always risk .. and nothing comes easy..

im not sure whether you got experience on finding job in Oz as professionals or not..
but if you got ur PR, and want to work and live in Oz for perm, this is the risk that you need to take.. (come to Oz and look for job)
if you just stay in MY and apply for job and hoping got an offer..i can assure that you will never step foot in Oz with a job beforehand..

yes, there are work sponsorship that u can get when u r in MY, but that is very rare and ur skills have to be very niche or in high demand..

just my 2cents opinion :-)

guys i may be able to work out something for you all..

i am in charge of the database of resumes of all jobseekers, i can put yours in for free..

for this service, i will want you to find me at least 2 'likes' for our facebook page..

will anyone be interested?

no... unless you tell us more on your company etc etc...

It reminds me of one Nigerian scammer who kept saying win-win solution for both of us when we were on Skype.

yours was pretty fast, mine took a year to get it
