Many clients and people that we speak to advise us that they are giving up on the Australian job sponsorship route for migrating to Australia, because recruitment agencies in Australia have advised them that:
  

“It’s just too hard to find a sponsor” 

“You need to have local experience”

“Australian companies aren’t sponsoring right now”

“You are better to wait until you arrive in Australia”

Why do recruitment agencies give this advice?  The reason is because, although they are specialists in their field and know the Australian market well, when they introduce job seekers to their clients (ie Australian companies), the recruiters receive a fee from that client.  Recruiters therefore want to take the quickest and easiest route for receiving their fee.  I know this sounds harsh, however, in their defense, recruiters receive hundreds of applications for jobs they advertise, and they need to somehow cut these applications down to a select few to introduce to their client.  Further, recruitment agencies need to have met you face to face before they can introduce you to their clients, as a matter of policy. 

Therefore, job seekers who require sponsorship, are not yet in Australia, and/or have not had work experience in Australia in the past; will for the most part, be screened out of the recruitment process by recruiters, as they opt to work with candidates whom will be less effort for them. 

This is not to say that recruiters have no feelings or compassion.  They are simply doing business the best they know how.  Having spent several years in the position of having to screen CVs and select the most suitable for the position, I understand the process that recruiters go through, and therefore I feel my opinion is justified.

Nadine Myers, Australian Emigration Job Search Strategist with Nab That Job in Australia! advises not to be deterred by the advice that Australian recruiters give you.  Ms Myers and her team work with foreign nationals every day, and have clients who have successfully found job sponsorship whilst applying from overseas, and who have not previously had local Australian experience. 

It must be stressed though, finding job sponsorship in Australia is no easy feat. 

“It takes a lot of hard work, dedication and a positive and resilient attitude, and even then, there is  chance you may fail”, says Ms Myers. 

“You have to know what you want, you have to go after it, and you have to know that no matter what adversities you are faced with now, you will reach your goal.”

Ms Myers advises not to believe that it will happen over night.  “Finding a job in Australia, including sponsorship, is a process that we help you through.  It starts with ensuring that your CV is competitive, that you have a strong job search strategy.  You also need to continually and systematically tap into the hidden job market – that means looking for those jobs that are not advertised.  They are out there, my friends!” says Ms Myers.

Many Australian companies now have sophisticated recruitment systems whereby they accept applications year-round from job seekers, whether they have vacancies or not.  The Australian companies then access this ‘pool’ of talent when positions become available in their company, and hence, they often do not need to advertise their vacancy.

Many Australian companies also offer their employees referral fees if they introduced someone they know to the company, which is very attractive and powerful, and can also mean that vacancies are filled from within the company before there is any need to advertise the position.

Networking and tapping into this hidden job market in Australia is therefore key for foreign nationals in particular, who are seeking employment in Australia.

“There are thousands of skilled job seekers all over the world who are seeking employment in Australia, and my mission is to ensure that these people do not give up on their dream of migrating to Australia”, says Ms Myers.

If you are having trouble finding a job in Australia, the first step to improving your success rate is to do Nab That Job in Australia’s quick CV assessment which will help you to determine whether your CV is competitive in the Australian job market.  This assessment will lead you through a series of questions that will uncover what you need to do to improve your success rate when seeking employment in Australia.  The assessment tool will then offer you your next steps, depending on your particular visa status.

Not only do you need to be on the ENSOL to be considered for job sponsorship in Australia, but you also have to demonstrate that you have the necessary skills and qualifications to perform the job that you have been nominated for sponsorship in Australia for.

The ENSOL document issued by the Australian Government, Department of Immigration and Citizenship, sets out the ways that you can demonstrate that you have the necessary skills and training for the sponsored position as follows:

• you have worked in Australia in the occupation for which you are being nominated for 2 years prior to applying for your ENS visa (including at least the last 12 months with your nominating employer); or
• you have had your skills and qualifications assessed as equivalent to the Australian standard by the appropriate assessment authority and, unless exceptional circumstances apply, have 3 years post-qualification experience in the occupation; or
• you have been nominated for a position which attracts a base salary of at least the salary specified by Gazette Notice for highly paid executive positions. The current minimum salary level
  is available at www.immi.gov.au/skilled/skilledworkers/ens/eligibility.htm

When applying for job sponsorship in Australia, you must have obtained your skills assessment before
you lodge your visa application and you must provide it to the department at the time you lodge your visa application.

You need to also be aware that if you are applying for job sponsorship, you need to hold the required license or registration necessary in order to work in your occupation in Australia.  The Department of Immigration and Citizenship also states that you can you can provide evidence that you are eligible to
unconditionally hold that licence or registration with your visa application instead of providing a skills assessment from the assessing authority listed on the ENSOL form.

If you intend on applying for job sponsorship in Australia, and you have been nominated to fill a senior academic or scientific research position by an Australian university or the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), you won’t need to have your skills assessed by an assessing uthority listed on the ENSOL form mentioned above.

Also, if you are applying for job sponsorship in Australia and the assessing authority for your occupation is listed as TRA (Trades Recognition Australia), the Department of Immigration and Citizenship of Australia will also accept a skills assessment from the Department of Industrial Relations in the state orterritory where you plan on working.

For further information on the requirements of the Employer Nomination Scheme (job sponsorship in Australia), I recommend that you visit Australian Government website for the Department of Immigration and Citizenship at: www.immi.gov.au/skilled/ or read booklet 5, Employer Sponsored Migration, which is available from the website or from any office of the department.

Go throught the ENSOL now, and uncover whether your occupation is in demand in Australia and may qualify for job sponsorship.

You will find that the list is very long and comprehensive, and is split up into the four major occupational groups in Australia:

• Managers and Administrators
• Professionals
• Associate Professionals
• Tradespersons and Related Workers

The ENSOL also points to the relevant assessing authorities for each occupation, so you can go ahead and have your skills and qualifications assessed for job sponsorship in Australia.

Once you have determined whether you are indeed on the ENSOL, you can then move forward and progress in your job sponsorship applications in Australia.  For some inspiration for migrating to Australia in 2010, click here.

Do not underestimate the power of a high-impact resume, especially if you are looking for job sponsorship in Australia.

Let’s put this into perspective.  When you apply for a job in Australia, what is the very first thing that the employer touches that gives them their first impression of you?

Answer: Your cover letter or resume.

Now, keeping in mind that the Australian employer or recruiter are also receiving cover letters and resumes from Australian residents, and have grown to expect a type of format of cover letter or resume; if you have not done your research and your cover letter and resume are not in the expected Australian format, who do you think the Australian employer would be more interested in – you, or a local Australian resident?

Answer: The local Australian resident (the majority of the time) – because the resume and cover letter is likely to meet the Australian employer or recruiter’s expectations, and because the candidate is local, and so there would be minimum difficulty in hiring the candidate.

Now that you have the cover letter and resume in perspective, do you understand how your presentation in these two self-marketing documents can make or break your job application in Australia?

So, what is the expected format for writing an Australian cover letter and resume, particularly for sponsorship in Australia?

Nadine Myers, Australian Emigration Job Search Strategist and Director of Nab That Job in Australia!, answers this simply:

“The standard format of Australian resumes / CVs and cover letters that are expected in Australia are the formats that have evolved over time in Australia, and that the Australian employer or recruiter has grown accustomed to.  This can be vastly different from the resumes that other countries produce or expect, and it is therefore vital for the foreign national who is applying for jobs in Australia, to research this topic widely and to invest in their marketing materials, so that they can match the expectations of the Australian employer, and also make the best impression possible, when applying for jobs in Australia.”

Ms Myers has worked with foreign nationals applying for jobs in Australia, particularly those applying for job sponsorship in Australia, for years, and has therefore become an expert in this area – enabling her to offer assistance to foreign nationals in a market where there is not a lot of assistance.

“I love my job”, says Ms Myers.  “I love the satisfaction of helping people from all walks of life to make their dream a reality,” says Ms Myers, of assisting foreign nationals to emigrate to Australia through job sponsorship.

If you are unsure about where to even start, to create an effective resume for the Australian job market and to target job sponsorship in Australia, you should read the eWorkbook, “Australian Resumes: Secrets Revealed”.  This eWorkbook is available from Nab That Job in Australia!, and will step you through the entire process of creating a high-impact resume for the Australian job market, that will effectively compete against local Australian residents.  “In fact,” says Ms Myers, “this eWorkbook will help you to create a resume that will be one step ahead of Australian residents, because it includes tips and a special formula that has had a proven increased effect of placing the candidate at the top of the pile, when applying for jobs in Australia.”

Ms Myers has spent several years working on the other end of the table – as an Australian Recruiter – and over those years has gathered information and tested her theories, on what works and what doesn’t, when it comes to Australian resumes.

To give you an idea of what to expect with this fantastic eWorkbook, here are some of the things you will learn:
