I have not taken a public transport yet but the cabs here looks good and coordinated.

You need to be aware that its not easy to get money for your tuition n maintenance at the same time while studying. Australia immigration strict. So u need to get your tuition sorted out and have some money. Although aunty Jenny has said u can get job in regional quickly but jobs r in Australia generally. All d best

Hey Chookudi, congratulations on securing your visa after much hassle and welcome to Sydney in advance. Sydney is a very nice and multicultural city and University of Sydney is one of Australia’s best universities. Please be well prepared for your studies because the academic system here is quite intensive and very demanding that you may not have the time to work if you cannot manage your time appropriately. There is a lot to be done in your academics; from assignments, tutorials to single and group presentations, and possibily exams. Unisydney medical and pharmacy schools are no pushovers, you may find yourself spending an entire day at “Edward Ford” computer lab. Lecturers are very friendly, seek their support when you encounter any problem with their courses.

The university will provide lots of support if you find your studies challenging, there is the “learning centre “that will provide extra tutorials and academic support at no cost. When you are fully registered with the university, you can obtain your “myuni” which consists of a special university email address and a password that gives you access to computers in all Unisydney libraries and computer labs. Myuni can be obtained at IT support services at level 2, Wentworth building computer lab (Camperdown campus)

As for work, if you are on a student visa, I am not sure you will be allowed to work in a professional capacity. Pharmacists earn well but this field is a bit competitive here, I do not know if you have their professional registration or license.

There are jobs in Sydney but do not limit yourself to a particular sector or job. You must be open to all possibilities including cleaning, labouring and even farming. Europeans and Asians have taken over the farming sector (yes! Graduates for your info).

When you obtain your myuni, you can search for jobs at the university careerhub, alternatively, you can visit their office at level 5, Jane foss Russel building, Camperdown campus. The career section conducts several free tutorials on effective and productive job search. So avail yourself this opportunity.

To improve your prospects of securing a job in Syndey and elsewhere in Australia, you will need to do some certificate programs lasting between 4 and 8 weeks. It may be advisable to arrive early to commence any program of your choice if you have ways to sustain yourself financially during this period.

A car or at least a driver’s license, will improve your chances of securing a job by over 80%. In Oz, owning a car is a necessity and not a manifestation of affluence. (Visit Parramatta road for varieties of cheap rides). If you already know how to drive, please bring along your Nigeria driver’s license because that makes it a lot easier to obtain an Aussie license here. If you do not know how to drive, it will be cheaper for you to learn this in Nigeria before coming to OZ. Driving lessons in Sydney are from AUS $50 per hour.

Be smart! Jobs are getting more competitive by the day with the inflow of immigrants especially from Asia.
There are some job websites for you:
Indeed.com.au
Seek.com.au
Jobseeker.com.au
Babysitter.com.au
Mycareer.com.au
Gumtree.com.au/Sydney
Jobsearch.gov.au
Careerone.com.au
Jobs.com.au

You can walk into offices with your CV, this is stressful but also effective

Going through agents Is a very effective way of securing a job in Sydney, I will advise that you do not deal with any online agent, visit their offices. Most agents do not charge agency fees before getting you a job as it is against Australian laws, they only deduct an agreed percentage usually not more than 5% from your wages over a period of time after getting you a job.
If you do not know how to shave yourself, there is still time to learn otherwise you learn by force after parting with $70 and above per shave!

Best wishes as you arrive in Oz,

Its watermelon reposting, I posted some useful job websites in Australia and seem to be banned any time I do that, I don't Understand nairaland and the moderators some times, anyway here is the information I posted earlier.

I posted many job websites here and I guess the ban was because of this.

Hey chookudi, I have given so many useful information as regards job search and survival in Syndey, academic progress at the university of Sydney being a Unisydney Alumni myself but it seems Justwise and his antispambot have been specifically targetted at me (watermelon).

Anyway, I honestly wish you all well as I quit this session.

Bros, its watermelon, those hidden posts above are from me, they contain loads of information to help people coming to Sydney but I don't just understand Justwise and his antispambot for making me their particular target.

got an admission in Sydney for masters....please is Sydney the best place for international students looking for good jobs as am sponsoring myself...just want to be sure pls..anyone here with opinions pls..thanks

^^^
I will say 'NO' if you have a long-term plan of staying in the country. You can search through this thread to see the reason whybI said NO.

Pls is there any Nigerian restaurant in Sydney?

i know sydney is expensive...but i guess its worth it...or any other reasons

^^^
Not the high cost, my dear, but the chance(s) of getting PR after you finish your study (should that be one of your aim of studying there). If you are PR minded, kindly search for regional universities or colleges and apply there. Ypu may not enjoy the place 'cos of low population but it is very easy to get PR'd after study.
