QUOTE(evieta @ Jan 14 2016, 09:38 PM) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_a...rther_education TAFE, u can study online but I think u need to be in Australia to enrol for it. Means I dun think can take the course online from Msia. Before I move to aust , I wanted to enrol to a tafe course from Msia , the institute say I can only enrol when I am in aust even tho I was already a pr. I didn't check if this applies to all institute or just that particular one . 457 visa is employer sponsored visa.. U can't apply for it without any aust employer wanting to hire u. Software programming ... job market is not good for iT sector , many migrants wit PR and degree + extensive exp in software programming also can't get a job. Are you aware of the bad job market here ? Recommendation would be to do any blue collar courses like plumbing, electrician etc U have a lot of reading and understanding to do about Aust... Aust is a nice country but it's not for everyone. thanks for your info. guess i will have to enquire with local agents. |

But now not as bad last year. There's still production going on but not as crazy as couple of years ago. Previous price was 160/tonne but dropped to 30 O&G is shit now. Look at the price now. Speculate tht will slump to 20/barrel. Well, have to 2 years to recover.... wait and see |

I reckon the O&G field in Australia already got hit hard last year, so this year most companies are quite well positioned to take in the storm, except for the smaller companies. It's tough with all the cost cutting/financial control but I believed we will survive pass it, since most companies are gas exporters.  Be positive guys! |

Saw many companies made staff redundancy. Recently the 2nd largest hardware store MASTERS also chap lap. Wait for closing down sales. Same goes to Dick smith. Also going down. Next hit will be construction. Housing sales dropped 30%. Will drop more this year. Whoever wanna buy ozzie house now is the best time. O&G related to project all shut down. My friend got the hard hit. So, don't feel paiseh of working something not your profession. Money still matters. |

Hello lovely ppl, been away from the forum for quite some time after landing in sydney and starting a fresh new life last year. Too bz with settling down and getting employed. After more than a year, things are finally solid and I am back in Malaysia for CNY break, anyone enjoying their CNY break now?
Economy slowdown is a global phenomenon now, anybody who relied on the China market will be dragged down together. We will have to find opportunity in this change as we always do.
I am based in Sydney working in the retail IT space as a software developer. We do see more client tightening their budget but these are all part and parcel of doing business once you are in there long enough. Ups and down are always there.

Economic downtown, ppl get redundant, no money to pay mortgage, bank foreclose. Property prices in Syd still in la-la land. Even with a downturn property will be cheapER but not cheap. |
