Finding a right job can be the most difficult part in
immigrating to Australia. This article will give you
a plan, using several steps, of how to tap into the
job market in Australia, and to help to make your
dream of settling down in Australia become a reality.
Firstly congratulations of being in Australia as it
would always be much easier for you find a job being
onshore rather being offshore as Australian employer
look for someone who is already established in Australia
and can start work immediately.
Do your Research
Do your research and understand the how different is the job market is here in Australia .
After research it is time to reflect those changes on
your resume/cv.
Making changes to your resume/cv to be inline with
Australain standard is the most important factor to
make sure you receive interview calls.In addition to that attaching a cover page along with your resume
helps further.
Look for Job
Use various channels of job search and shouldn't
be just limited to online job banks like
seek,
careerone,
jobsjobsjobs etc.
Use printed media like newspapers,recruitment agensies
and directlories like yahoo to look for job/companies
you would like to work for.
Remember :-
Once you find the right job to apply make sure you call
them,talk to the appropriate person and inquire about
the job to show your interest.
Always good to keep a record so that you can follow up
as most of them keep your resume/cv in store for 3-6 months.
Double check the fine print. Many of the jobs advertised
will stipulate the requirement for the job skeer to
have Australian permanent residency
Volunteer WorK Expereince
If you are able to try to line up some volunteer work
in your skills set or the organisation you would like
to work for.
This would enhance your resumeand will be to your
advantage if you have expereince working in Australia
while you are looking for a job,even if it is a
volunteer employment.
Study in Australia-Join TAFE

TAFE course
in Australia in your Industry which certainly would
be advantageous for applying jobs andbuilding a Network.
Become A Freelancer.
Make self development your priorty
and work as a
freelancer to get your skills refined while you
are looking for Jobs.It would always come handy
when you will the right interview and the right job
In Summary
The feeling of not working in your field does haunt many but
you need to realise and reconnect to your emotional mindset
when you first came here and ask yourself what your vision is?
Its a step by step process to settle down in Australiaand
your final step of getting a job in your field is not that far.
Stick to your dream and enjoy what you have now.
JObs in Australia still exist in their thousands and
