One thing I want to bring up is the frustrations of applying jobs in Australia. You see, unlike here in Malaysia in which we got two main mediums - jobstreet and the Star, in Australia all job applications have to go through Job Recruitment firms.

I think you are not looking hard enough.

There's

http://www.seek.com.au/

An Aus equivalent of Jobstreet.

Else you could always start on finding the companies that suit you, before emailing them to inquire about vacancy.

Seems that it is your own problem, not much of the system.

And I been there, done that.

Just want to ask, your surveying job is it in Malaysia or Australia?

If you haven't been to Australia, well sorry, I am not trying to scare you. My advice to you is to try, at least (touch wood) good or bad, at end of day, you tried.

Bad apples or good apples, I know one particular friend who is a lawyer, I don't think he is a bad apple, but from his story of mistreatment he had at an Australian law firm really made me feel utterly bad at the way Aussie employers treat asian workers. Hopefully this is just a one-off incident.

Well, that is why I am checking it out to see if this all is true. So Konichiwa has made his point but his last point - too bad, he could have said more.

Thats because Western Digital is MNC. WHat about the story of KTM needing RM7billion to revitalise its biz? KTM has been making losses since 1995, yet no retrenchment.

I have a Malaysian friend, working as a commercial lawyer in training in Melbourne, for a local firm. He is the only Asian, and he enjoys it there.

Not the brightest friend I have, but the one that knows how to socialize and blend into their culture.
