actually why not?
age 25-32 = 30 points
IELTS band 8 in all = 20 points
degree = 15 points
65 already

u can always said other things such as travelling, dont be so naive and say that i go work oz ma kutip apple coz money heaven. mana boleh. pandai pandai pikir la. if u got good experience the 1 year gap tutup mata sahaja

depends on the employer la. some employer felt u can go down to earth to get ur hands dirty. *some* malaysian companies have pelik mindsite asking why u stop? must have mentality problem, or must have done something wrong kena fire.

well, so far what i met here none of the OZ company asking me anything funny

you working at the oz now ? if yes, how can u go there ? what position did they offered you ?

yeah, why not. If you can get band 8 in all 4 module, congratulations!
we got a  bunch of young grades here sitting IELTS for 5 times almost give up...

No way u can get 189/190 with your current situation. Trust me. Please read the skill assessment 1st. My wife is chartered accountant but she's not using her pro as primary applicants as is much harder. so using mine as primary coz my professional requirement is lower.

Point contribution on experience:-

Aust:-
1 year = 5 points
3 years = 10 points
5 years = 15 points

Overseas:-
3 years = 5 points
5 years = 10 points
8 years = 15 points

My case is i claimed 15 points based on my malaysia working experience which is 9 years.

I'm not trying to pour you cold water but you're unlikely to get any visa approval. My advice is get as many working experience as possible. Don't worry, the point system and requirement always change. Plenty of chance to apply.

there's a guy in the IELTS workshop that i attended sat for it 3 times and still unable to get overall 7... he's darn demotivated

yeah, 8 is hard to get... some can get it, very rare
but that guy said he's able to get 9 for reading and listening, very good already leh

Let say if I turn the scenario around. If one who is a fresh graduate and he/she secures a job offer in Oz (let say graduated from Monash Malaysia in this case). Can he/she obtain a visa ? Thanks.

For that to happen, the company will be preparing a working visa for that person. Now the question back to you is, since you are an overseas fresh grad with 0 experience and unproven, why would an OZ company hire you compared to a local fresh grad?

Sorry for being so straightforward. Need some harsh questions sometimes.

Let say if I manage to get local Oz connection to get hired over there. If that's the case, is it still possible ? May I ask under which work visa category I can apply for ? Thanks.

The company will apply on your behalf a visa 457, which they have to justify strongly on the reason why they can't find a local hire.

Unless the company is chinaman, they will probably ask you to apply yourself a 489 visa before they will hire you. All in all, visa first then job later, that's the most common route

Note: If something looks too good to be true, please consult others for opinions.

You can consider taking PTE test instead. It's easier to score. IELTS is very inconsistent in it's grading system.

i heard IELTS usually make one module super hard to bring down the overall bands, don't know true or not

nah, mine passed already, i didn't claim points for my English... i reckon i was just 1 or 2 questions away from getting 7 in my reading... the other modules i got 7 and 8.5

Yeah that's what I heard also from my tutor previously. They rotate every week and make one module harder than the rest.

i took only once though, and i had the impression that the writing is always the killer...
surprisingly writing and speaking came out ok, reading was like fffffff

I got the lowest in my reading are, hahaha. Got damn lazy, got to sleepy. Highest was listening. Overall I got an 8.5, sat for it once Then again, I've only spoken English at home and learnt BM when I went to primary school. Can't speak any other language fluently enough. My parents/ grandparents speak English so from a linguistic point it's considered a first language for me.
