QUOTE(KVReninem @ Jan 29 2016, 04:09 PM) Its good if you can solar up your home with solar panels. One time investment in renewable energy. Water of course, you cant do much... gas too u cant do much. Solar required 3 years to break even.

QUOTE(Nemesis1980 @ Jan 29 2016, 12:35 PM) Majority are male. Malaysian is benefit on bilingual or trilingual. Be good on your skills and talent. Think out of a box. Be more creative then you'll survive thru the hardtime. Salary not that great now. Living cost is skyrocketing especially utilities. groceries, cars, gadgets and internet is good. rental or mortgage, council fees, utilities is shit. Wonder how many members here are heading down under this year?  Any chance guys heading over down under this year be able land a job? or like usual start jobfinding for 1 whole year before landing an actual job you are looking for. Instead of jumping from one restaurant to next (or retail as well). That 1 year for those heading over would be like shit, deep shit.

Restaurant and 7-11 people are the worst paid + there are immigration scams related to that which has recently been exposed in the newspapers. Of course, you get paid BELOW minimum wage, work ABOVE regular working hours and GET CHARGED for any losses of stock due to shoplifting. "Fair dinkum, mate?"

Not to be negative but there is a chance that you may never be in the same profession as you are in Malaysia. All I can say is all the best and embrace the culture

Sales jobs may also be hard to get, unless u r bilingual n can speak/read/write Chinese, in which case there are more opportunities. Whatever the job, local experience is truly the key. Also if u have a network, that can certainly open doors too. Join networking events, associations etc.

Do you guys have any idea on the "PROFESSIONAL YEAR" that are offered in Australia? Read that after completing this will add 5 marks to your points.
But, Is this Useful to help you land a job?

It is not useful in helping you getting a job.

If you interviewed by a crappy company, they'll give you shitload of reason they don't value of your experience. They'll tell ya your experience is nothing but shit in Oz so have to start from zero. Anyway, that's Ozzie style. After that can go to bar 'clang clang' on beer.

Tip: Learn how to drink and socialise with the Aussie  They will feel that you are part of their family instead of a foreigner
