Well I would love to continue living in Australia(and keeping my PR), hence the 2 year timeframe before I return to fulfill my visa requirements.
Unfortunately not having a professional job is not an option for me - my justification is I'd rather build up professional skills in Malaysia than work in a dead-end part-time job with no prospects of progression. After looking for about 3 months in Sydney with no success, I started applying for jobs in KL at the same time and recently secured a job in KL.
Do you think Australian companies use the non-Australian work experience as an excuse to prevent non-PRs from applying for the job? Also what is the underlying reason for not recognizing overseas work experience? Is it the culture-fit or the industry knowledge?
The reason I ask is because the area I will be working in is sort of specialized, and the regulatory bodies around the world adopts a standardized framework.
Did you secure a job before you moved back to Australia? If you did, was it difficult to secure one?
I was actually job-hunting in Australia. I could not apply to any grad programs before because I got my PR too late. And I was unsuccessful in applying for ad-hoc full time jobs after..
For once you made a good choice of not working in a dead end-part time job with no prospects.
As empire23 has mentioned, Australians don't recognise experience outside of Australia unless you're a noble prize winner or smtg like that. Its actually not an excuse but they tend to have what i call "Island Mentality", "we do things different here" kinda attitude (an example would be their own brand of english) no offence to them. But take comfort that returning Australians too, face a difficult time to re-adjust to these kinda mindset.
But most importantly why do you want to go and live in Australia assuming you are having a promising career in Malaysia?
