depende Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hello guys, how to get a sponsorship in Australia for an IT job? I sent more than 1000 applications through seek.com.au but everytime I got the same answer that I need to have a PR visa! It's maybe easier to be in Australia to get a sponsorship?

Guest hoffer Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Have you thought of a change of tact? Such as maybe applying for a UK company with Offices in Australia and then seeking a transfer a year or two down the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depende Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Thank you for your advice! I'm already working in a Oil and Gas UK company that has many offices in Australia. I asked some HR Managers in Australia and they told me that they have many local people with already PR visa! I also have a positive skills assessment from ACS under the ANZSCO code ICT Business Analyst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortlepuss Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 IT jobs are hit and miss - market here in Brisbane is over saturated with local applicants. Can't imagine why anyone would sponsor a BA/PM at the moment unless they had very specialist skills. However if you can get the points for Independent PR, this is the way to go. Far too risky to be a 457 in IT at the moment IMHO. You need to protect yourself and give yourself the option of being able to apply for non IT jobs if the market doesn't pick up.

depende Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Yes, it could be a good way to apply for Independent PR but I don't have enough points. To apply for 489 I have only 50 points included 10 points from the state sponsorship. The other way that I see is to apply for student visa and study in a regional area to get additional 10 points. So I have enough time bulid my network and secure a job after my graduation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
