Addenn:You don't need to bring rice or spaghetti, they are here and cheap. I will advise you to bring foodstuffs that can't be gotten here or expensive like Maggi, Garri and the rest 1 Like 1 Share |

masco131:There's no naija foodstuff that you can't find here, just that it maybe expensive and very far from your location, never thought that i will ever see snail, periwinkle and red beans here. |

masco131:I saw the signage "if you need snail contact this number" at Nulan food, out of curiosity i contacted the number and turn out to be real. If you're in Victoria, i can give you her contact just that her location is far (Melton), it took me about 45mins. Solitin40:I used to argue that you can't get certain food here not until i saw ewedu, éfò riro, ùgù, amunu tútú, locust beans even sàki. 1 Like |

NEW UPDATE Getting a Job. I just got to know of an app named mable and hireup. I don't really know much about hire up but I can tell you some things about it. MABLE PROS * You set your wages * You set your working time and location * You don't need to have the cert 3 and 4 in aged care, individual support and disability(although I must say there will be of higher advantage to you) CONS These are not really cons because the benefits outweigh them nevertheless * You need these certificates 1. CPR and first aid( I got mine for $75 for both) 2. You need an ABN( it's free) 3. You need Working with Children Check to be approved(its about $126 thereabouts) 4. You need references. If you want to work as personal care, you'll need professional references: if you don't have such you can do others which doesn't require professional references but references from either a colleague or someone in the profession. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

masco131: No both I have CPR, first aid and working with children check. I also have white card,police check and am doing forklift license now. I have applied to so many jobs on indeed, seek, mable,hire up,gumtree . I have also registered with many agencies. |
Re: Nigerian Students In Australia: Survival Tips!! by masco131(m): 9:19am On Mar 27, 2020 |
Otumbalamba:Check your CV well bro and hope for the best and you can check for jobs around Newcastle and hunter region, I believe there are more jobs around this area. |
Re: Nigerian Students In Australia: Survival Tips!! by WestAfrican: 11:13pm On Apr 09, 2020 |
Otumbalamba: CV and cover letter is vital. For example, If you are searching for job in Forklift, make sure all your work experiences and references are in Forklift or something similar. Same goes with cover letter. If you no get experiences, try find way to arrange for 9ja. Oftentimes this guys want experience workers. 5 Likes 1 Share |

AussieJoan: Getting the certificates in hand you mean from Nigeria when your leaving or you must get with Australian agency on Disability program? |

Re: Nigerian Students In Australia: Survival Tips!! by AussieJoan: 6:28pm On Apr 26, 2020 |
helpyom: I don't think it's feasible to get the certificates before leaving from the agencies I've come across with and I've never heard of Australian agency on Disability program ( or are you talking about the regulating body) |
Re: Nigerian Students In Australia: Survival Tips!! by AussieJoan: 6:31pm On Apr 26, 2020 |
Otumbalamba:As someone pointed check your CV and resume, also use Zety dot com for your resume, that was what I got and I was invited to lots of interviews. Another thing is get to know people, connection works. Check with your local church as well. 1 Like 2 Shares |

UPDATE FSA: Food Service Assistant. Get your FSA certificate, it's not expensive Go to blue cross website, they are always advertising vacancies ( FSA and others) NB: A lot of windows are being closed on we internationals.......ranging from getting your certificates and all that so I would advise you to get your certificates as soon as you can. 3 Likes 1 Share |
