I graduated in Computer Science and looked for some software developer/programmer jobs but due to the Indian job market being very competitive, I'm finding it difficult to find a developer job. A relative of mine who graduated in Chartered Management Accounting has good relation with a company and they're hiring accountants. He said the job is simple and I will be able to learn it. Does anyone know if simple accountants from India have any chance of Aussie PR? I'm asking because in the job code description (from homeaffairs website), there are a lot of duties but I don't think I will be doing such expert work. It's probably more basic accounting things.

I want to know how many of them applied throughout the last few years and what percentage of them were granted.

... you need to go research on the actual immigration pages now

the ACT one is showing closed for 'recruitment consultants'

the TAS seems to just follow the general immigration rules

the NT doesn't have any such occupations listed

These associate jobs are entry level jobs meant to eventually help you get the full job.

Can an associate network engineer apply under the "263111 Computer Network and Systems Engineer" category?

The recruitment one will be difficult as it's not on any state required list, it could be possible to ACT, TAS or NT but with special conditions ...

What are these conditions?

Yes if their occupations appear on one of the lists published by the Department of Home Affairs and they can meet the other criteria they can apply 

that's exactly what i want to know. do any similar jobs appear in those lists? if so, which criteria needs to be met?

I have two friends who are university teacher and IT recruiter. I was wondering if they can apply for PR under some category.

Let's say that after getting PR on skilled independent visa, you come to Australia. But you can't find your dream job and you only find work that you are not interested in or salary is poor. What can you do in that case? Can you go back to your home country and come back to Australia at a later date?

I think one popular job to get PR is a software engineer. Which other white collar jobs can also allow application for PR? I am asking because I am currently looking for a job as a software engineer but it is proving to be difficult. On the other hand, I am getting numerous offers for office jobs like receptionist, customer service, office assistant, recruiter and others. I should mention I have a bachelor's degree in Software Engineering but due to my location and market situation, I am not getting the job easily.

Most IT jobs are in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. You can use the seek.com.au website to get an idea. You might have to do odd jobs until you get PR, then relocate. You can also try to convince Home Affairs to let you relocate to another state since you can't find decent jobs in SA.

This is a bit technical. Some states like NSW, VIC, QLD nominate software engineers, developer programmers, analyst programmers. Can software developers like Java, C#, SQL developers be nominated? Are software developers seen as closely related to software engineers? I read the ANZSCO job descriptions but I couldn't figure it out.

Most states have a requirement that you have to live and work there for two years. What if you leave and work in another state? Will they track you down and cancel your permanent residency?

I work in IT and don't come for programming or software engineering. I am a qualified Network Engineer but work as an IT Manager.

Granted though I wouldn't come to be a technician but would do it to get the years under my belt to be allowed to go to other areas of need be.

Again, Network Engineering is a completely different line of work. Most Computer Science or IT degrees don't even focus on network engineering. It's all about programming in Java, C#, etc.

Feels like an inefficient system. Do something that's completely unrelated to what you know when you could be contributing with your skills.

Just because it is rural doesn't mean there are no IT jobs. There are schools in rural areas. Schools need IT technicians.

Besides the city of Adelaide is classed as rural.

IT technician is a different thing. The IT or ICT that migrants come to Australia for is programming/software engineering which you mainly find in big companies located in cities.

Suppose you're in the ICT line of work. Staying in the countryside for several years waiting tables is a pointless life for someone who is skilled as a software engineer.

I am in the ICT/Software Engineer line of work. I checked the South Australian migration site and they are allowing only 489 visas to overseas applicants and 75 is the minimum required points. Which Australian states are a bit more relaxed with their requirements?

I'm in the ICT domain. There are a lot of remote work opportunities in this field. Can such work experience be used in the skills assessment for points or does it only count if you physically work at the company's office?

I don't know the exact numbers but let's assume there are 10,000 applicants in a year for the 190 visa. There is room for only 2,000 applicants so they are given the 190 visa. Now, 8,000 applicants remain but the following year, there are another 10,000 new applicants. Now, there is a backlog of 18,000 applicants. The number should only be increasing as years go by because there is a large supply but not enough demand.

How is this issue handled by Home Affairs? Is there a lottery system? In that case, does the chance of winning get slimmer with every passing year?

sorry, I should have been more specific

make a linked in profile, and start actively targeting people in the same I did try as you, who work in the specific town/city you want to go to. 

then be bold and professional and ask them if their organisation is willing to sponsor you... if they like what they see, they'll do it.

it's harder for someone one This forum to do so as our information is rather anonymized, but LinkedIn does exactly what you are trying to achieve

I'll give it a shot. But it's gonna be almost impossible since I don't have any work experience.  

I have recently completed my "Bachelor of Information Technology" from a good university but it's located outside of Australia. Now, I have two options.

1. Study a Master's by research degree in Australia to get some points. Then, get work experience in Australia and then apply for permanent residency.

2. Work outside Australia for two years to get the required experience and then apply for permanent residency.

Personally, I feel like option 2 is better since I won't have to get in debt to pay for my Master's. But maybe option 1 has a better chance for getting PR, I'm not sure.

try LinkedIn.

I doubt (though it's possible) you will find help for your specific [and rather complex] situation.

What exactly should I do in LinkedIn? Is there a way to find employers who are sponsoring?

I understand. Thank you for your reply.

If you live minimally, I think it's possible. Try to get in touch with the Indian community in Australia so they can help you.

Hi.

I have lived, studied and worked in Australia before. I have recently gotten my Bachelor's degree in Information Technology. I am trying to break into the industry. I have done odd jobs before but don't have work experience that is directly related to IT. That is why I'm looking for any junior type roles.

You might have to lift suitcases/bags  into the vehicle.  I would imagine that's about as physically demanding as it would get.

That wouldn't be an issue. I'm just worried about the fatigue you get from driving for a long time.
