Dear Experts, I am an IT Professional with 4.5 years of experience (Indian, currently based out of Singapore) and am looking forward to work and settle in Australia. Because of lack of experience, I am not eligible to apply for ACS and hence PR. I got to know that I might be able to work in Australia if I find a sponsor for 457 Visa. Can anyone please suggest any portal/site where I can showcase my resume to prospect employers who are willing to sponsor 457 Visa. Best Regards, dmamey

Thanks a lot Ozmaniac and Raul!!

Thanks a lot Usman for your valuable inputs! So, if there's a chance that I might change my employer in next 7 months, it's better to wait for another 7 months (to complete 5 years of experience) and then apply for ACS evaluation, correct?

Dear Experts, Here's a brief info about my profile - 1. Experience (IT) - 4 years, 5 months 2. IELTS - Overall 8, (L- 9, R -8.5, W - 7.5, S - 7) 3. Education - B.E. Evaluation of work experience by ACS is necessary for folks from our field to apply for Australian PR. My question is - Is the evaluation by ACS final and binding on the Australian consulate? If ACS report says my experience my experience is greater than 3 years (which is the case), will I definitely get the points for 3+ years of experience in PR evaluation or is there a chance that even if ACS evaluates my experience to be worth 4 years 5 months, Australian consulate does not grant me the points for 3+ years of experience? Also, I have heard that the ACS does not consider first two years in experience since they consider it as a probation period. Is this true? Does this mean my equivalent experience will be 2 years 5 months and I won't get the points for 3+ years of experience? I am very keen on applying for ACS, but need to make sure if this is the right time to go for it or would it be better to wait till I complete 5 years of experience, so that even in the worst case, my experience will be counted as worth 3 years. Any suggestions/advice would be really helpful! Thanks and Best Regards!
