Might consider applying a job in aussie.
Their pace of life there is so stress-free.
Their shops there close even before evening time

Dont understand! lol...
Got my PR on the 1st Dec after all the hardwork!
Cant wait to go over and become a dishwasher...lol

Thank you so much...
I'm heading to WA
Thank you so much pretty!
I mean i dont understand why ppl who didnt keen to migrate keep spreading negative thread here
I'm heading to Perth!!!

Soony which area are u?!
Good to know ppl in Perth as most of my friend in eastern state. No friends in Perth ;(
So happy...maybe we can meet up for lunch

seems like there's quite a few of us here heading to WA eh.. any reasons for WA, if you all don't mind sharing?

My reason is because I used to study in WA 4 years back so I'm familiar with the place, and almost all of my friends/ex uni mates settle down in WA.

At first i also 60 pts zhun zhun under Accountant which ppl said no hope ady coz accountant only invite 70 pointers now.
But then my agent is really good that he try so hard and get me approve under 190 visa and +5 points.
Then everything just happened so fast that now i'm a PR ady.

You might want to check with agent if you can apply under 190 provided you dont mind spending 2 years in certain state.

Good luck with rent going down. Not going to happen

Finally have obtained PR independently . But how's the current job market like for accounting industry particularly in Sydney? Has anyone tried applying from bolehland and made it to interviews? Also, is it better to go there while I am still in early stages of my career?

Thanks for sharing.

Good to know about you friend's situation and their success.

Kinda suspect that it'll be a similar case when it's time to go there.
Well, life will be such: adapt or go back empty handed.

The local working experience is applicable regardless of jobs? If I work as a  cashier for a year, it's considered 1 year general work experience/'working in Australia' experience?

Any fresh grad managed to apply for companies in Australia?

Got a few friends in O&G being made redundant....
Storms are coming. Buckle up!

i heard O&G and mining is bad, what about other sectors?

Mostly mining project based a big hit. 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

that you gonna have huge blowout if they have no idea what they doing.

Not anymore. Soon they will start to clam down on those with HECS loan and those with outstanding debt to govt. Going to be similar with malaysia PTPTN. But this day; the govt is running low on their funding due to aging population. More likely WILL see a rise in GST to 15% for worst case scenario.

So far its still in talking.

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.

Depend on the company how they value your professional year. If your experience is transferable, it shouldn't be a problem and it's a bonus to you.
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. 

How do I get an employer to sponsor my working visa before I arrive Australia? I believe that there are shortage in some jobs that the locals are not willing to do and require foreigners. I have a degree from Australia but the biggest problem now is I can't bring all my relevant certificates on a tourist visa or risk facing deportation due to intention to work. I have view a few ways but there are certain limitations:

Working Holiday Visa: Only applies to 100 lucky Malaysians yearly if not mistaken and valid for 12 months. I believe the demand will be much more and another barrier will be the hassle of extending the visa.

Skilled Migration 189: The cost is the problem around AUD 6,000 I saw from few comments above. I am on a low budget and do not have so much cash plus I have relative in Melbourne and Sydney so accommodation and food will not be a problem.

The best way for me is 457 by getting the employer to sponsor so I can save the visa cost and live there for at least 4 years which I believe can qualify for PR. Question is how? I can't go for an interview on a tourist visa and even if permitted, what about if I failed in the interview I have wasted the flight ticket all the way to Australia. This is not like Singapore where I can just take a bus or ETS train and return on the same day. Arghhhhhhhhhh!!!
