Australia is one of the most sought-after places to live in the entire world.
The weather, the people, the scenery and the culture are all reason enough to want to move to the “land down under.”
When deciding to make the move, there are several things you will want to do to make your dream a reality.
You can find many migration agents online who can give you an eligibility assessment.
Once they have determined your eligibility, you can move forward with the process.
The application process time varies, but can take 12 months or more.
You have to make sure that every document is filled out completely and every piece of information that is asked for is given.
Unless you have a firm job offer before you go, it could take some time to secure employment.
Agencies
When you decide you want to move to Australia, there are several ways to look for jobs.
Australia is abundant with private employment agencies.
These agencies help find jobs for more than 100,000 people annually, so this is a good place to start.
These agencies can also help you find temporary employment, which can lead to more permanent employment.
There are four different types of agencies in Australia – personnel consultants, labor hire contractors, student employment services and employment agencies.
Personnel consultants, or head hunters, usually find managerial and executive positions.
Labor hire contractors help find employment for people who work in industrial areas.
Student employment agencies obviously help individuals in school find work.
Employment agencies can be specialized for a particular field or be more general.
Although there may be small registration fees involved, agencies usually get their money from employers.
Qualifications for Working in Australia
To work in Australia, you must be able to read, write and communicate in English at a fluent level.
If you are an English speaker from a country where English is not the native language, you might be required to pass an English test.
Next, you will have to find out if your trade qualifications or skill set are recognized in Australia.
You must have formal education and work experience and you may be subject to testing.
You can research the Australian Standard Classification of Occupations (ASCO) to check the qualifications for a particular job.
Obtaining a Work Visa
You may be able to obtain a temporary work visa to find employment.
However, if you want your move to Australia to be more permanent, you will likely have to land a more secure employment position.
When you do land your dream job in Australia, your new employer should be able to help you secure a working visa.
Research your different visa options with your consulate or embassy.
