i think you can get working visa but your employer gotta get it for you... i think you cant get the working visa yourself... because before you get a job, you are not working, so you cant apply for working visa...

anyway... i am working in melbourne for the money and my parents wish... they think like most of you, better future, better environment, better everything...

i think it's good that you are here with ALL YOUR FAMILY, at least your own family if you already have one... your partner and your kids... but for me myself, i am here all alone by myself, with all my family back in KL... that is a hard time here... i have to admit that my working life is pretty good here, and easy life i am having... but... when the people, the place, the food, the familiar everything is just nowhere near me... i still hope that i can go home one day... i think i will be happier eventhough it might be tougher life...

darrenz + kikurazz, yes i am coming back... how good is that when i have to sacrifice my JOB to go back? my leave wasnt approved, so i resigned... but anyway, i dont have the intention to stay in that role anymore...

TR for people outside australia is only for:
This visa is for you if you completed an Engineering degree at a recognised overseas institution in the last two years.

only engineering, last 2 years and a recognised overseas institution listed in http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-ski...nstitutions.htm

gred, try to look on www.seek.com.au, there are many jobs advertised on it and at the same time you can look at what they want and what kinda jobs that you can go for... also, most of the jobs there are advertised by agents, so just grab their details and give them a call!

hmmm... that sounds very true, if you are migrating for your kids' education, you should... you can save really A LOT~~~!!!

about the "hard working then easy to find a job" i think this saying a bit not working... because how can you tell that you are hard working at the interview? and most of the people will tell you they need a person who has achievements and not working like a cow... most of the people here they start packing at 4.45 then they step out of the office sharp at 5pm... they dont encourage people to work late, because the company will have to pay for your OT or time in lieu, then you get to claim dinner and if you work after 8pm they have to pay for your cab charges... that will cost them even more money!! and the company wants you to have a balance working life, not NO LIFE...


OMG, your english is damn good then!!
