hi fellow singaporeans,
great to see many helpful people offering sound advice. i got my
subclass 175 visa in aug 2011 and i m still looking for a job. not
easy though. and advice?
in sg, i never need to look for jobs. very often i get calls
from recruiters.
i got my resume and cover letter checked by friends working in
australia. they told me a few possible reasons to explain why i
wasnt shortlisted for jobs.
1. i dont have any credible work experience in australia. i may
have an outstanding porfolio, but in singapore.
2. i m not physically in australia, they may not consider me for
an interview, despite webcam and video conferencing are very
convenient.
3. i m an asian. i was warned by my friends that there is still
an unspoken discrimination not to hire asian if they could hire an
australian white.
well, just something to dhare, if it helps.
