Q:

A: In order to have any chance of obtaining a Working visa or an Employer Sponsored visa, your profession, trade or occupation must be on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1121i.pdf You could register on the Skill Matching Database, but you will also need to contact potential employers directly. See http://www.immi.gov.au/skills/index.htm for the SMD. You should go to our main job search websites to submit your resume online to prospective employers. You can also set alerts to appear when a job in your field is listed and then contact the listing employers. http://www.seek.com.au/ http://www.careerone.com.au/ https://jobsearch.gov.au/Login/Login.aspx?WHCode=0 In most cases, your chances of finding a sponsoring employer will be increased if you are prepared to work in a regional area rather than in one of the larger cities. Good luck.
