It's because you visit them as a tourist but at work is totally different environment. They work till late at night and there is some kind of sarcasm towards Malaysians.

frankly, i prefer working with singaporean than malaysians in general...
yeah, some singaporeans have attitude issues but at least they are serious about work

Unfortunately I completed my degree 3+0 as the 485 need a 2 year study period in Australia and that is more for recent graduates. Not too keen in Singapore due to their working culture and kiasu mentality.

Yes, that is the general perception of Singapore. But hey, Australia relies on Singapore expertise on most services on top side matter. So don't just believe what perception people said. There is good and bad. Australia ground is not any better at the moment. Being in overcrowded "asean" soon to be place Sydney and Melbourne; you might have some stiff competition.

Head to Brisbane if you are looking at growth.

My degree is Bachelor of Commerce (Major Marketing & Management) so I guess it's not really in demand as they are looking more for engineers and nurses etc.

Honestly not too choosy into job selection as it's just for temporary until I obtain the PR hopefully. I got a friend who work as a front desk in a hotel until he got his PR but in my case even retail shop, shopping center, supermarket will do.

You are better in regional tourism industry for this if you plan to venture into. TBH, Australia wont have issue finding their local graduates able to take over your job. icon_rolleyes.gif

Green or not. Basic quality they measure on are still way better than Malaysia on most ground.

I am not picking which side is greener; but I know many who been here prefer to be here than in Malaysia. So don't need to be another naysayer. Everyone have their own choice. Deal with it.

Well.. Best way for anyone without PR who wanna work here is to get a 457 sponsor..What kind of work are you looking for? Try securing for an interview before you buy your flight ticket to Australia for interview.

if you plan to come here to hunt for an employer who is willing to sponsor you a 457, I trust you are aware that chances of getting even an interview is very low.nthere are people who came on working holiday visa tried 1 year and still can't get a 457 to stay on in Australia.

What degree did you study? Not on the skill occupation list to qualify for PR?

I do know ppl who came here with 'student' visa.. They have some working rights .. Up to 20 hours a week but illegally they work more than 20 hours and the business pays them in cash. Some of them do go for classes but some don't. These are waitressing jobs...

If you are looking for a proper corp job... Good luck!

Most student are entitled to work over their 20 hrs when come to holiday break between semester. smile.gif
On waitress job matter, WHV are able to do it too and the money on those job most ended in dodgy deals..paid in cash or underpaid.

If those with student visa are smart enough, they should have tap on the one close related with their study profession.

WHV will be slap with higher tax bracket begin new financial year if current govt policy proceed. they have yet to come with final conclusion about it but there is already a big news on the agriculture side where food price will increase. That`s the 2nd biggest income for AU GDP after education and mining.

Innovation AU yet to come online...it will take sometime for AU even the turntheballman still doing it. bangwall.gif

That's fantastic! Meaning to say I've to look for AUS agent instead!

Lol...is actually meaning to say that you need to do some homework yourself to see if your case is straight forward and get some basic knowledge on migrating.

If it is easy (like you are an engineer or medical line which 60 points can normally get invitation) then you can totally do it yourself and save cost.

If it is not, then u can consult few agent for opinions before engaging any to see if there is any alternative.
(Like accountant with only 60 points. you can still do it yourself but then have to wait longer compared to others occupation.)

Dont simply waste money and end up still not getting pr right? sweat.gif

The best to look for work which is recession proof or essential.

it is not wondering anymore. Would prefer it to happen. Fall in home lending just came in yesterday and AUDUSD shot up 0.75

1/3 maybe steaming to 2/3 soon in fast pace.

That's up to you.

As the rest have explained, why would they hire a foreigner to do a job that a local can do.

Plus there are heaps of IT fellas from India. All in the same boat, same story.

There's an overflow.
