Global Recession next year, watch those who wants to work in aussie.

U can't stop the inevitable,  Google baby vanga.. her prediction and some maybe off, but will happen soon

Well. Here`s a sad case you don't know.

Been here; usually those job like accountants / professionals as mentioned on previous thread. They are oversupplied.

It clearly stated its your own fault to begin with.

That is reason you make a collective(informed) choice. I know how hard it is to actually leave Malaysia. But once you got over it; you will see it as just a small part of a bigger thing.

After all, Australia is becoming more like Malaysia but with more diversity.

Do consider about it require resource, time and adaptation. If one still undecided. Its better to just come here and experience by travelling.

Hi all, just wanted to get some advise.

I recently just received my aussie PR last week after a long 6 months wait. In terms of job prospect, how hard is it to find a full time job in aus with a pr..

My working experience consist of being an Audit Manager in one of the big four with 5 years working experience.

Thanks

Good on ya man  . For your first job, did you submit your resume only after you've landed? And was your first job within accounting industry too?

ok, i searched "TAFE malaysia" the top 4 results are below, so which is the correct one?

few more questions:

1. do they have any online study? or are they available in penang?

2. you mean i need to take and finish the course only to be able to apply 457 visa?

3. what course is recommended? how about software programming?

thanks.

How come ah.Maybe that TAFE only.

I'm doing a Cert IV so far only req is that either you're an NZ/ AU citizen or PR. I have an Aussie address and contact number so ok lah.

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!!!

1. You should learn how to respect people. It's very unsightly to see someone belittle another person and then tramp on the possibly and unproven difficulties of a person by your standards which is not even the focus of my post.

2. To answer your question. I have nothing. I said after graduation I am looking to apply 189 or 489. (I definitely can't apply for 190 so that is out of the question as that requires state nomination). But I am a little short handed to apply for 189 as I need all band 8 in Ielts General to have enough points. However, for 489 would be possible and I have all the documents ready. So I am contemplating whether to sit for ielts again for 189 or not as there is a clear regional limitation to 489. Btw the 489 visa allows you to apply for 887 (PR) if you meet the requirement.

3. Personally, I too don't think Monash Graduates deserve high regards, so we can agree on that.

Cheers.

Thanks, I'll look into that!!

On a side note, I think we Malaysians (assuming everyone here are Malaysians), really lack the ability to encourage people and be constructive as much as wanting to throw cold hard facts.. Speaking of which I have also met people who got IELTS all Band 9 on the first try.. Ever heard of confirmation bias? Google it up... Perhaps your perception on how you view other matters in life would change. Of course just my 2 cents.

Cheers.

What if you are among the lucky one that got offer from Big4 Australia straight as fresh graduate (subclass 457)? Will you go straight to accept the offer? The fact is that Australians themselves are looking out opportunities in Singapore/UK/North America due to the weakening of AUD.

Aus pay is "high", but the disposal income is lower. Life good? That's depends. Speaking from my experience/observation, the effective income tax rate as a senior auditor is approximately 4% in SG, 2% in Malaysia, 16.5% in Japan and 26% in Australia.

Million dollar question is, whether you will be better off in Australia if you are foreigner, single, fresh graduate/minimal experience and no Aus property in hand.

Btw, anyone here applied for any accounting related roles before? I would like to have a few questions though

1. If we are staying in Malaysia, can we still apply through IPA or ICAA for skill assessment? Since to the best of my knowledge I only know CPA office is at Mid Valley.

2. In ICAA and CPA skill assessment it states "quantitative methods" (as far as i know it's a master's level finance subject or engineering subject or universities such as UniMelb has this subject. So is there any possibility that it actually meant "Business Statistics"?. Because in IPA website it says Business Statistics.

3. I have read somewhere else in other forums that if we meet 9 out of the 12 core knowledge areas we will most likely get a positive skill assessment too. Are these the 12 core knowledge areas and is this fact true?

Mandatory subjects :
Accounting Systems and Processes
Financial Accounting
Management Accounting
Finance

Optional :
Auditing
Commercial Law
Economics
Quantitative Methods
Accounting Information Systems
Taxation Law
Corporations Law
Accounting Theory

4. Can someone share their skill assessment experience here? Thanks!

Hi guys, just to confirm. Basically no visa is required if I were to go to Australia to activate my permanent residence for the first time? Also, when I arrive there, I don't have to queue at the visitors line when going through immigration right?

bear in mind, visa 457 will get paid peanuts....they'll squeeze you like lemon later based on current economy situation.
i suggest get yourself PR then slow slow lai.....my advice...

checking based on this website, last time i aged 32 required 65 points. seems point has dropped to 60 now based on below points:-

age 32: 30
foreign experience 9years: 15
edu (Oz degree): 15
Oz study: 5
state sponsor: 5
IELTS (band6): 0

Any company there is hiring?

I am just graduated from UK with a law degree but does not really wan to practise.

Thinking to migrate and to live in peace life oversea.

Thanks for ur response! But im not sure if anyone gets my question right

I don't intend to work illegally with my tourist visa.. I'm just wondering if anyone had any luck landing on an interview while visiting as a tourist, and then the employer wants to hire you and get a visa for you so you return and work legally.

Problem is if anyone who holding tourist visa, bringing their CV/Cert or hand tools, you better don't get caught. Custom will give you heaps of questions. Worst case is sending you on the next flight.
Don't play2 ar....go thru the proper route, don't take risk. Not worth doing that.

I don't think it's about encouragement. It's either you have it or you don't. Fact is some people don't and there could be reasons why. There may be even alternatives but definitely not the illegal route; if you get caught you'll probably be blacklisted or something of the sort.

Like what Nemesis said, the reality here is really harsh. I've met Malaysians who couldn't pass the IELTS and hence they didn't meet the minimum language requirements. They were given chances to retake the test or try something else. Some can't spend the $ so they end their quest then and there.

The problem with Malaysians is a lot seem to think that the wrong/ illegal way is still okay. And some bring that kind of attitude over to Aus, where it never ends well.
Very annoying and sad really, for the rest of us who don't do things this way.
