475+IT+AD

speaking

475, IT, Adelaide.I have been here for nearly one month, trying to find a professional Job (C/C++).
Unfortunately, so far no clue yet.

Is it possible to find my job here?
Has any IT guy found job here in Adelaide?

Now I am frustrated really, missing the 'good' life in hometown, China.


So, where is the the way out for IT+475+AD?

welcome to adelaide!

you don't have to be so impatient while seeking a professional job in adelaide. you lack local work experience and  i guess your english is not good enough for looking a good job here in the near future as well. furthermore, adelaide lacks IT jobs too. these factors may lead to undesired job-hunting results.

but, just think about that: how easy would it be for a guy from a small town in china to look for a good job in beijing or shanghai?

i think your situation is quite similar to his/hers. as both he/she and you lack necessary work experience and lack social networks. right?

from my point of view, you have up to 1 years time to look for a professional job. if you cannot get one within one year, then you may choose to go back to china or do some labour jobs in order to get a PR visa which would enable you to look for IT jobs in Sydney or Melbourne.

of course, you can choose to leave australia right away or one or two months later. it depends on what kind of life you are looking for.

Actually I am exactly thinking of leaving Australia 2~3 three months later if I still could not find my job then.

My concern is whether I can find my professional job several years later after I get PR or I just totally become a labor worker?

As to local work experience, do you think any local experience even labor work would help me in finding professional job?

Finally, I feel hopeless, most people surrounding are just h y p o c r i t i c a l.

perhaps everyone has similar questions. but i guess no one ever knows the answers. i even doubt that there are any answers to these questions.

future can be imagined but i don't think it can be predicted.

you have to make choices all your life. right? just do your own research. think about the future life you desire. only in this way you can find your future. otherwise, no one can help you.

to enrich your local work experience and to expand your social network here (if you think it is necessary), you may find some volunteer work.

到阿德两个半月，找到第一份工作，专业工，permanent，已经上班一周了，谢谢大家的关心！
以此鼓励那些坚持找专业工的IT朋友，别轻易放弃，机会还是有的。
