@bellong Let me introduce myself. Am 30 years old, studied social work but not practicing I head my department basically trading and production in my unit with 5 years experience, though I raised to the top early in my career.
My husband is an I. T manager with 10 years experience he is 35years old.
Am so confused on where and how to start. I need a proper guide so that I don't mess it all up, because I don't want to take chances it's quite expensive to be refused at the end of the day. From changing my passport to my husband's name, account name to husband's name, writing English exam, sending transcript, skill assessment and all, employment reference letter.
With your experience is it also worth the whole stress, getting a skilled job in Australia and then getting a citizenship.
Am so sorry for the long post. |

Hi, Everyone. I've been following in silence for a while. At this point, I'd just like to appreciate the heroes and heroines of this amazing thread: @bellong, @zanyzara, @tyosho, @vinsmuft, @nosula (amongst many others). Clearly, you guys are heavily invested in the Aus system, with your own daily challenges. Yet, you still make out time to share knowledge and guidance. You have no idea how far those 'little' efforts go. Some of you have even opened your doors to absolute strangers. God bless you beyond measure. @DaddyTheFather, thank you for your obvious maturity - and for putting yourself and experience out there. Hopefully, your PR issues get resolved soon - and your family can come over. ![wink](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/wink.png) 5 Likes |

Before I got home, all documents and link to start induction was already in my box. I was asked to resume on Thursday while they get my system and access ready.

I came over with a 476 visa, and I am in a professional role. However, my job is in finance, not engineering. Which has worked out fine cos I find now that I enjoy working with money more than I enjoy working with process plants. I did have some difficulties with getting interviews for roles with my 476 visa though, I won't lie about that. As I said earlier, I actually believe that my company was not entirely clear on what sort of visa it was.
One thing I did do was make it clear on my CV that I had unlimited right to work, without mentioning what sort of visa I had. If I was asked, I told the truth, but I did not offer it up.
I would also recommend trying to get call centre roles. They never seem to run out of vacancies, and they are pretty loose in hiring. Once you're feeding yourself and money is coming in, start aggressively pursuing your PR. Once you have that PR, sky is the limit. Hi please I have a few questions to ask about 476 visa. Part of the requirements is that the institution the engineer graduated from must be under Washington accords institution. I want to ask if Nigerian universities fall within this category? |
Re: Living In Australia/life As An Australian Immigrant by Yeeshas: 11:21am On Apr 16, 2018 |
Hello All,
Hope everyone is doing great? So I have been meaning to come here to share my story after I landed in Sydney, Australia, but life has been from one event to the other but tonight, I had to stop myself to do this.
Before I start, I wanna give a shout out to Bellong and say a big thank you for starting this Australian thread because I cannot emphasize the tremendous help we got from the nairaland thread during our application process from start to finish. So let me cut straight to it.
We landed in Sydney Australia by midnight sometime in January and because it was that time of the night, our luggage was only scanned but not thoroughly checked so I guess we got away with all our food items. We were accommodated by a family whom we connected with through a dear friend of ours. We stayed with this family for two weeks after which we then moved to our own apartment.
Getting our apartment was not a walk in the park, we were simply favored. One agent wanted to swindle us of an additional $350 because he perceived we were newbies and desperate to move to our own place, we didn't fall for it because he was asking us to make the payment for the 'paper works'he was going to prepare for us because we didn't meet the 100 points criteria in order to secure an accommodation. Anyway, to cut the long story short, we threatened to report him but eventually moved on to search for other properties, he later called us back and gave us the property without the 'paperwork' fee.
We currently live in Liverpool, a 2 bedroom apartment for $350 per week and I must say it isn't bad at all. The apartment comes with a communal pool and a basketball court. We have never used it though. It is also close to everything, train station, the mall, medical centre and all.
Our first two weeks after arriving here was very rough, one because of the jetlag and then the paperwork, job-hunt, house-hunt, add to the fact that we were putting up with a family we were meeting for the first time. It wasn't exactly the best of experience but we are grateful. Things began to ease out after we moved to our own apartment.
Regarding job search, the truth is that my husband and I were open-minded and were not very selective at first because we had gathered info here on nairaland about starting off and all. My husband got a Warehouse job a day after we moved to our apartment and he was asked to start immediately, four days later, he got another job offer at Fujitsu as a Stock Plan Administrator which is basically data entry and administering the company's stock plans, although this job is better for him, however, it is not in line with his career. He has a background in Network Security and so has currently enrolled in a scholarship program in Cyber Security. The Australian govt. is currently investing in the Cyber Security industry because of shortage in the skill availability.
We immediately enrolled our Son in daycare so I could attend interviews. We were paying $465 per week until his immunization was updated and we now pay $143 per week for 5 days because of childcare rebate. We also got the outstanding back after his childcare rebate was activated. We attend Hillsong church and I must say it's a beautiful place to worship. We didn't get a car yet because we are very close to the train station and our son's daycare is only a street away plus we are saving up to buy a very good car too.
I left my job story for the last because I am extremely grateful to God for this and I also wanted to use it to encourage folks coming down here. After about 2 weeks of job search, I got a Customer Service job at a Telecoms company called BSA where I was a Remediation officer. I earned $26 per hour and it was a contract job. After 3 weeks or so of working there, my shift got changed to 11 am - 7 pm shift and so I had to stop work because my Son's daycare closes by 6 pm and you pay $1 per minute for every minute after 6 pm.
I applied for more jobs and granted a couple of interviews and as God would have it, on one of those days, I made an application for a job with 'Private Advertiser" written on it. (I am normally reluctant to apply for such vacancies) but I went ahead anyway and then I was asked to answer a couple of questions and write a cover letter. (these were things I didn't like doing but I did it anyway). A day later, I got a call from a guy saying he was from Samsung Australia and if I could come in for an interview and I'm like "Absolutely"! To cut the story short, after 2 stages of the interview (one individual and another group interview) with very intimidating guys especially because I don't have the Australian 'phoneee'accent, I was a bit intimidated by these other candidates. Anyway, I got the job and it is a permanent job with amazing pay and benefits including a 4-week annual paid leave, 10 days paid carer's leave, 50 percent staff discount off Samsung products and several other benefits. Why did I take the pain to spell out some of the benefits? Because when we came into Australia, some people told us it was hard to get a permanent job as a newbie and even a professional job for that matter and bla bla but this is really not the case. If you believe it, then you can have it.
I currently work as a VOC Case Manager at the Samsung head office in Australia. The role simply means dispute management, processing of refunds, repairs, exchange and what not, pretty much making a disgruntled customer happy again.
Its been a little over three months since we came here and we can't be more grateful to God for how He has settled us quickly and in ways we didn't even imagine. Generally its easy to save here as long as you don't live above your means.
I'll stop here and I wish you all the very best.
PS: I also resumed Uni for my Master's degree at the University of Sydney but I have now put that on hold for some time because I work full time and it was too much for me so I suspended it for now. 70 Likes 2 Shares |

Congratulations Yeeshas. I like these kind of stories that remind one that challenges or obstacles are temporary. The assessment, english test and DIBP stories are all history now. It will only get better. Biko, come first....... How can you make me a happy Samsung customer? The only way is if I can get the 50% discount o, else no smile on my face till I leave. ![cheesy](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cheesy.png) 3 Likes |
