Are u a troll?

All fine for you to believe in Baba Vanga and what not, but pls spread yr beliefs in another clairvoyant/paranormal forum.

As others have said a global recession will affect every1, not only Ozzie.
M'sia won't escape either.

Anyway I will go on, as many other ppl will, living and working in Oz.
If one can find and keep a mid level professional job, one can still IMHO sustain quite a decent lifestyle.

Just be careful with the wages. Oz min wages is $17.29 ph and 25% loading for casual jobs.
If the job pays anything less than this amount then it is illegal.
Also be aware that a working visa, at the min, is required.

As for massage, I believe u need to be qualified to take on this job?
Like any job in Oz, everything, inc. cuci jamban, must get certification.

With a permanent role, u get annual leave, sick leave and public holidays paid for.
Additionally if u r made redundant, u get a payout.

Being casual means u don't get any of the above benefits.
Essentially no work, no pay.
To compensate u 4 lack of these benefits, they r required to pay u 25% more.

eg
Full time = $20 ph
Casual = $25 ph ($20 + 25% loading).

A lot of companies do this. Easy to get rid of staff when no longer required.

Annoying, the number of posts here expecting instant answers without taking time to read thru the previous answers. U r on the web, right? Learn how to use Google first. If Google cannot find then ask.

Let me clear up some of the most common questions.

1. Can I get a job?
PR gau tim or not? If not, gau tim PR first.
HARD to find job. What makes u so special employers want to hire u? U got Ozzie accent, got Ozzie experience?

2. What PR can I get?
Ask Google. Oz immi got information. Read first.

3. Will I get PR?
We are not Aust immi department. Also if we can predict all this, we can all buy 4D and strike big.

4. Will what I study be on SOL?
Who knows. See answer 3.

A bad habit for some M'sians. Always looking for shortcuts and easy answers without bothering to research first.

Maybe if the next guy ask again, we say no jobs, don't come to Aust.

Close case.

Don't mind the valid queries too. Intelligent questions or personal experience stories welcome. For example, share your personal experience in finding a job as a dog handler at a pet shop. Your experience on the first few months living in Wagga Wagga. Things that u can't find using a Google search.

Think its just a coincidence. In terms of numbers, I think Mel has the most migrants frm MY followed by Sydney.
There are definitely more jobs in Syd esp in finance. While Adelaide and Brisbane possibly hv a more laidback vibe and cheap rent, there are scarce jobs. Mel I feel has the best balance between jobs n property but salaries r much lower compared to Syd.
Syd is v expensive v congested. Long commute times. But it is a beautiful city in some parts n not as cold as Mel.

Yes, no one seems to have intelligent questions.

Re Sydney - A broad question.

Depends which industry u r in (job stability, demand etc).
--If u hv right contact and experience, there will be jobs.

Real estate prices (rent or buy) still crazy but rumors that there will be a correction soon.

Traffic is mad, no change, take PT if possible.

I lived in both Syd and Mel.

Good luck with rent going down. Not going to happen soon.

Luck/experience applying out of Aus:
Look at this way, u have 100+ of applicants per role. Put yrself in the recruiter's shoes. How would they shortlist?
If u expect to just expect any responses to come back cos u sent a few CVs out, then u will be sorely disappointed.

Tip 1:
Tailor make CV and cover letter to suit each and every role u apply 4.

Tip 2:
Don't just submit the CV. Call recruiter and sell yourself. Tell them why they shld shortlist u.

If they want to meet u, they want u 2 b avail on short notice.
If u say u still in MY, yr CV goes to bottom of the pile.

Local experience is very valuable. This is how I got my last 2 roles. In my past role, didn't even need interview and job was not even advertised.

Even if property prices drop, don't forget u still hv to pay a mortgage. Economic downtown, ppl get redundant, no money to pay mortgage, bank foreclose.

Property prices in Syd still in la-la land. Even with a downturn property will be cheapER but not cheap.

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.

Depends on city.
For Perth mining related industries are slumping as well so may take more time.

For Sydney, per week:

Rent - 200
Transport - 30
Food/Groceries/Household - 30 (not just mee goreng)
Phone/Internet - 10
$270 a week

So 5000 will last you 18 weeks.

Depends where you live and work as to whether u need a car.
If in inner Sydney or Melb, parking is super duper exxy n driving to work is a hindrance.
In Sydney inner city accommodation comes with no parking inc.
Best bet is to live near train interchanges if u r able to train it to work....

Nothing in Syd for less than $350 (studio) in inner city. Share rooms - dodgy room rental no receipts, not sharing - $170 in say Hurstville. Approx $250 for a room most anywhere in Sydney (excluding all the exclusive suburbs of course).
Syd trains is fricking fantastic. If u commute the whole week, weekends can go jalan jalan for free.
Nowadays with Goget no need even car if u want to use 4 day trip. Rent by hour or by day. No need pay for parking, insurance, service etc.

That is quite true. Oz govt has been subsidising local students in nursing courses for a few years now.
Only thing is if u r qualified in MY, u may have 2 b requalified again in Oz.
Salary for normal RN is also not high...
Advantage is stable income, ability to live almost where ever u want that has hospitals, generous super & benefits scheme.

Tip: Type in "KL Migration Agent" into Google. 927,000 results.

U only pay agent if:
1. u dont have time to run around and fill in all docs, translate, get it endorsed etc.
2. u r in a tricky situation eg. borderline case, where the agent need to work their 'magic' to help the visa go thru.

It is hard. U look at the detailed job requirements n some of them r impossible to fulfill unless u were working in same organization. A lot of these jobs u need to know the hiring boss to get in.
