Whatever it is that is attracting you to wanting to emigrate to Australia, you are not alone.  Australia is one of those countries that stands out among the rest.  Yes, there is beauty in every country out there, however, do those other countries have the abundance of wildlife, the high standard of living, the relative unemployment rate, the gorgeous beaches and rainforests and the contrasting landscapes and dry deserts.

I admit, I am a little biased, as I am from Australia and spent the first 22 years of my life living there.  I have also experienced living in other countries and travelling to various countries to observe their way of life.  Every country is unique, but what I find the most appealing about Australia is that, when weighing up the pros and cons, Australia wins out with positives out weighing the negatives every time.

And you just can’t beat what that year-round sunshine can do for your health, well-being and happiness!  I appreciated the sunshine for the first time when I relocated back to Australia after living in London for six years.  I couldn’t believe that each day I woke up to sunshine and temperatures in the 20′s (celcius) – and this was WINTER!  Oh yes, the bliss of living in Queensland…

So…what is it that is stopping you from emigrating to Australia, if it is what you truly want?  Is it the unfair rules that you need to be this, or you need to have that?  Is it your age or perhaps the country you are from?  Do you need job sponsorship from an Australian employer?

Whatever it is, if you are serious about emigrating to Australia, whatever it takes, then I believe it can be done.  It may take years though – keep that in mind.  It may mean changing professions.  I may mean having a one-eyed focus for a 12 month period, or saving up a load of cash so that you can do it.

The easiest method for emigrating to Australia, if you do not qualify for an  Australian work permit, is to find job sponsorship in Australia, from an Australian employer.

Sponsorship Australia is focussed on this area of migration because there are many many skilled workers in the world who do not qualify for any other Australian emigration stream, and require to find a job in Australia before they can emigrate.

If you have not checked out the current MODL (Migration Occupations in Demand List), I recommend doing so.  You can use this list in four ways:

• You can check it to see whether you are on the list
• You can see whether there is a similar profession on the list that you may qualify for with some additional study or experience
• If you do not fall under this list at all, you can see what occupations are in demand, and pick something that appeals to you – that you would really enjoy, and you can work towards that profession
• You can pick a profession that appeals to you, and see whether you can apply for a study visa for Australia so you can pursue that profession in Australia.

If it is your profession that is stopping you from emigrating to Australia – then change your profession.

If it is money that is stopping you from going for your dream – the make a plan to save harder.

If your profession is on the MODL, your “road blocks” should be relatively easy to overcome:

• Prepare your marketing materials for success
• Create a successful job search strategy for Australia
• Continuously expand your networks and use them
• Tap into the hidden job market in Australia

Nab That Job in Australia! is a website that offers free resources for skilled professionals who require sponsorship in Australia before they can migrate.  You have have your resume / CV assessed to find out whether you would be successful competing against Australian residents.  You receive your results instantly, after answering a short questionnaire.  If you find yourself feeling confused or not very confident with your resume following the assessment, you can contact Nab That Job in Australia’s Australian Emigration Job Search Strategist, Nadine Myers, who can do a more thorough resume assessment for you, offering her recommendations and a no-obligation quote for creating a more effective and competitive Australian resume.

Are you constantly applying for jobs in Australia but with no success or guidance as to what you are doing wrong?  Are you constantly asking yourself, “How do I find a sponsored job in Australia?” but can’t find the answer anywhere?  Sponsorship Australia was created with you in mind, because it is possible to find a sponsored job in Australia – it just takes work, diligence, resilience and focus.

Finding Sponsorship in Australia, or an Australian employer to sponsor you can be the most difficult part in emigrating to Australia. Most people make the mistake of searching for sponsorship in Australia through application to adverts on job search websites or in newspapers. Did you know that only an estimated 30% of all jobs are advertised through these mediums?  If you haven’t heard about the ‘hidden job market’, its time you learned!  There are theories that around 70% of all jobs in Australia are found in the ‘hidden job market’, meaning they are not advertised through the usual media channels.

This article will give you a plan, using several steps, of how to tap into the hidden job market in Australia, and to help to make your dream of emigrating to Australia become a reality.

Research is Key

Australian employers to not tend to advertise that they are looking for someone to sponsor from overseas. The main reason being, they generally aren’t.  If there is someone with the required skillset in Australia, it is easier for the Australian employer to offer a job to someone who is already established in Australia and can start work immediately – in comparison with employing a foreign national and going through the sponsorship process, the cost involved and the time delay for the sponsored individual to commence employment in Australia.  Therefore, they will not mention it.  In fact, most of the time they discourage foreign nationals from applying for the jobs they advertise.  This is why limiting yourself to just the job search websites on the internet means that you are reducing your chance of finding a sponsor.

You should also know that you are highly unlikely to find sponsorship in Australia through the use of a recruitment agency, unless that recruitment agency specifically mentions in their job advertisement that the Australian employer is willing to sponsor the right candidate – a rare occurence, however, it can happen.

My advice – search out companies in Australia whom you would like to work for. In general, larger companies in Australia are more likely to sponsor people from overseas than the smaller companies (due to budgets and business scope), however you should not strike out the smaller companies, as some are still willing to sponsor the right person. Wikipedia provides a list of Australian companies. You can also research the Yahoo Companies Directory to find companies in Australia to approach for sponsorship. The advantage of Yahoo is that they have categorised the companies for you to make it easier to find what kind of company you are looking for.

Contact these companies that interest you, sending them your resume / CV and enquire as to whether they have any opportunities available. Many of the larger companies tend to have a “Careers” section on their website, where they enable job seekers to search for their current vacancies, and also to submit their resume and cover letter into their database. This way, if they do not have a current vacancy that is suitable to your experience, they can call upon their database when a position does become available, and contact you.

Reseach Global Companies

Search out global companies who are based in both your home country and in Australia, and find out whether they offer transfer opportunities – quite often global companies do. Even though it might mean working in your home country for a period of time before an opportunity arises in Australia, it is worth it in the long run, if it means you can emigrate to Australia through that company. Global organisations also tend to look impressive on your CV / resume.

Keep a Record

Keep a list of the companies that interest you, and contact them all. I recommend phoning to speak to the manager of the department you would like to work in. If that fails, speak with the Human Resources department. Find out whether they are a company who are willing to sponsor someone from another country with the right skillset. Find out how often they destroy applications /resumes / CVs as well – most companies in Australia hang on to applications for 3-6 months, so to be safe, you should follow up your applications every three months. Keep a record of all of the dates you apply for jobs and speak with the company, for ease of keeping on top of your Australian job applications.

Plan a Trip to Australia

Once you have quite a healthy list of companies you would like to work for (no list is too long), and have applied and spoken to all of them, you should plan a trip to Australia where you can meet with each of the employers. If you are unable to set an appointment with every employer, make a plan to visit the company anyway, dropping off your updated resume, and try to get in front of either the department manager, or a Human Resources Manager.

Through making this vital connection with the Australian employers, you reach them on a personal level, and if they like you, they are more inclined to consider sponsorship than if they had not met you at all.

Volunteer Work Experience

If you are able to, when you visit Australia, try to line up some volunteering work with some organisations in Australia. Companies that are most likely to accept volunteers are charitable and non-profit organisations. Approach them and set it up before arriving in Australia so you can build it into your plan for your trip to Australia. Also ensure that you are volunteering in the area of your profession. It will be to your advantage if you have experience working in Australia when you are looking for a sponsor, even if it is volunteer employment. “Non Profit Organisations Australia“, has a comprehensive listing of non-profit organisations in Australia by state / region / city or town, and is a great place to search for possible companies to approach for volunteer work.

Build your Networks

This is key to tapping into the hidden job market in Australia.  Use social media, join industry groups, make friends in all the right places and put yourself out there. Use your networks and use other people’s networks – especially if you already know people in Australia. The more you put yourself out there, the more success you will have in finding an Australian employer who is willing to sponsor you. If you think of it this way: most people have at least 100 people in their networks. Therefore if each of those 100 people also have 100 people in their networks, you potentially have access to a network of 1000 people! The more people you are connected to, the more likely you are to find someone who has connections in Australia.

Make everyone that you know, aware of your search for sponsored employment in Australia, and ask them to reach out to anyone that they know, who may be able to help.

You should also try and be wise when building your networks and be selective with you you are connecting with. It would be wise, for example, to strive to make as many connections with Australians as possible, especially if they are working in the profession of your choice. Linked In is fantastic for professional networking and has the benefit of assisting employers to find you. Facebook, and other social networking sites can also be useful, particularly joining industry or Australia-focused groups.

Consider Studying in Australia

Are there any courses or further education in Australia in your industry you can enroll in? If you can get a student visa and go to Australia to study, you are normally entitled to a certain amount of hours per week that you can work. This is an awesome opportunity for you to network, get your foot in the door and gain valuable Australian experience and qualifications. Quite often, foreign nationals who study in Australia, are able to stay on in Australia afterward, by transferring their visa status and/or through finding sponsored employment in Australia. There is certainly an advantage for applying for jobs when you are already in Australia, as you are immediately available for job interviews. Again – it is making that personal connection with Australian employers.

Successful Self-Marketing

You should always prepare your marketing materials for success, whether you’re applying in your home country for a job, and especially if you plan on applying for a job in Australia.  Do your research to ensure that you will be competitive in the Australian job market – that means ensuring your resume / CV is in a successful Australian format, and ensuring you have a high-impact cover letter that will entice the Australian employer to review your resume / CV.

In the current economic climate, competition is fierce in Australia for finding employment; and therefore it is more crucial than ever to prepare your marketing materials so you are as competitive as possible against the local Australian residents.

If you are serious about increasing your chances of finding an employer sponsor in Australia, you should consider having your resume professionally rewritten specifically for the Australian job market. Contracting an Australian professional to rewrite your resume to a successful Australian CV template, means that you will be in the hands of a specialist who works on a daily basis with foreign nationals, assisting them to find employment in Australia.

In Summary

Remember: an estimated 70% of jobs in Australia are not advertised, and are found in the Australian ‘hidden job market‘. It is essential to your success that you access this enormous resource of job opportunities in Australia.

By following the steps above, and consistently working towards your goal on a long-term basis through thorough research, keeping track of your applications, utilising the hidden job market, building your networks, ensuring your marketing materials are of high quality and competitive in the Australian job market, planning a trip to Australia, considering volunteer work in Australia and/or furthering your studies in Australia; you are guaranteed to increase your likelihood of finding sponsorship in Australia
