Any other documents that can be accepted by them? If not need find translator for this KWSP statement. Sad that government doesn't offer it in English.

U mean monthly statement?

U can get it translated by a certified translator. SHould be easy enough.

Dear forum-er, i am still reading through the thread.

But to give me a head on, i want to ask if fresh grad PhD in Civil Engineering ( local IPTA) can stand a chance for a job in Civil Engineering field, or college in any part of Australia. can straight apply?

Or still have to get 3-5 years local working experience and accredited and apply for migration route.

or you have other option plz let me know while i read through all the comments above.

Thanks

When you mention college, are you intending to further your studies? Then yes you will stand a chance.

But to come to Australia with a phd and no working experience, this would be near impossible to find a job. Esp when phd is deemed overqualified. Try working in Singapore for a few years then apply, the chances will be higher.

I try to answer him but you're much quicker. Some of my mates here with PHD in engineering no work experience, barely even get a call. They only could work in uni as researcher on part time.
In Australia, experience is much more important than academic. However, Malaysia/Singapore might have better chance to get higher pay by becoming a lecturer or sort of.
I knew some guy working in INTI driving benz and bmw and can kao lui also....lol

college i meant vocational school or pre U.

Thanks bro for ur share.

When u said experience, if without so called Australian experience in Australia also very very less chance to get a job right?

I won't say u can't but the chances still there. Luck and attitude i would say.

Hi all, just wondering did anyone manage to find full-time job relevant to their degree when embarking on the working holiday visa?

by right employers wouldn't want to employ due to the work holiday visa restrictions, but there might be special cases that i'm not aware of

My employer has hired 2 site engineers and 7 laborers on working holiday visas.
Salary is $80,000 p.a for engineers and $35/hr + site allowance for laborers.
Just try, nothing to lose.

eh good price

Does anyone here have experience in sponsoring a work visa and what's involved in the process?
Have a few work packages and able to claim $45-65/hour labor rate from contractor.
I'm thinking to set up my own company here in Aus, will need to get public liability insurance and workers compensation.
If I can sponsor visas to some guys from China, I can pay them an hourly rate of $25/hour which is attractive to them.
Or even workers from Singapore or Malaysia, in Singapore I believe workers get around $8-10/hour.

I posted some job vacancies to local newspaper and online. I highlighted that only valid visa are eligible to apply. However, i received hundreds of calls and 90% of them are without valid visa or parachuteers...

Mate see a migration lawyer , if you want to embark on this best to get proper advice.

Er...not quite. 80K is only good for an engineer with couple years experience. (And if u convert to RM - but then RM is performing so poorly now...)
Starting pay is 60K.
Anyway dont forget that on a working visa, taxes are higher cos there is no tax relief...
Not pouring cold water...just laying down my thoughts.

80 k after tax is 65k

Most of my peers started off in engineering @$50k-$60k. So I reckon that $80k is pretty good package already.

I still think taxing the working holiday visa people at full tax rate from the first dollar is encouraging people to get paid under the table. As most of the workforce here in F&B utilises working holiday visa people.

yeah will seek professional advice for this.

It's a below average pay but good to get a foot in the door. Better opportunities will follow.
