Hello guys.
I arrived Australia 1 month ago and til today no job. Pls my advice to those coming in is to make it a must that u know how to drive .
Every job here requires certification. Even if it's to pack shit.
Again, Pls any guy who wishes to get a sustaining job must be physically fit. When I say fit, I don't mean boxing or fighting skill with Lagos conductor . U must be ready to stand and work at least 8hours.

White people are very strong. I mean they work out alot
I got a job and I was to offload containers. I did it for 3days and I ran. This was because I wasn't used to hard labour back home.

One good thing about this place is that once u ve finished ur certifications u start getting jobs.
.under 1month I have done up-to 5 certifications to increase my chances.

Pls whosoever is coming here should have at least 2000aud. Because e no easy o at first o. E no easy o. I repeat e no easy.

Bro, please which city are u in??

Is it that before you left naija, u didn't know how to drive??

Thanks boss, I'll check the list as you suggested. I studied Microbiology at first degree. Do you have an idea of any course I can study that'll kind of "bridge" so I can proceed to doing MSc Nursing. I understand I can't do MSc Nursing direct with my Microbiology.

Once again, I appreciate you and look forward to more of your advice.

Hello, am also a graduate of Microbiology. Pls have u gotten any offer in any Australian school?

At the bolden, most ppl think that right at the airport they will be begging them to come and work, this was my thought and some of other Nigerians we arrived almost same time last February, only few ppl will be fortunate to secure a job in the first month of arriving which will not be even regular, I know about 5ppl still looking for job up till now, was fortunate to secure a permanent job 3weeks ago since arriving and the job is very hard as you rightly said. Another factor is student visa will restrict you from getting certain jobs, my visa status restricted me from getting two juicy jobs.
The job that pays a little high for students is aged care/disability and will took you months to start working due to certification, training and own vehicle is at times required.
Regarding the figure you quoted above AUD2000, to be candid it's too small, half of it will go for accommodation (bond and a month rent for an average rent) and the other half won't last for a month for someone that just arrive.
In short Australia is a nice place but if you don't want to suffer prepare very well for your first 4 to 6 months my two cents.

Thanks for this eye opener, but i would like to know, how long does it take to get the certification for the aged care/disability
Also, are there other certifications one can do to help one get job ontime so that one can plan for it alongside, cost of getting a car and so on. All these will really help those of us planning resume by July. thanks.

I can say something about this anyway. The age care certification is about 6weeks and cost about 650AUD. That's for Perth ooo. That's what I intend to do as well as I resume July. My fiancé work at the nursing home so many African mostly Nigerians work there as carer and earn minimum of $24 per hour. But car is important in all o. It will cost u $1500 to get Camry tiny light while up to $2500 to get big daddy Camry. Learn driving here in Naija and explore everywhere so there won't be problem for u to drive in Australia. Retain ur Naija license as u can use it to drive there. I hope this help.... God will answer us soon that are waiting for visa grants

Nice one @fishlink, can anyone in Melbourne and other cities share more light about job accessibility for students. We can as well share our experiences on how we moved through the hurdles so we can all learn.

Depending on the agency you register with usually btw 2 to 3months, cost of getting a car varies depending on what you want but with AUD2500 to AUD3000 you should get a good car. Nearly every job need certification as the guy i quoted rightly said and the most annoying thing is that most do ask for Australian experience even if you wanna work in a carwash, be prepare to compete with Asians and Indians for the limited job available because na them full this place and they engage in all sorts of work even the least expected. Another lucrative industry here is the construction industry, very hard to enter just like our oil and gas industry, blacks in this sector are countable.

I think your best bet is to contact the school to be sure of the exact fee + probably your OSHC.

you do not need to go through school as you are qualified for Permanent Residence. You can go through that route as it is cheaper.

Nigga, there are no cheap schools in Australia. The word is affordable!. However, I recommend you sort the or route instead if you have some experience. Also, with regards to hustle, Bros, NA grace o. But I strongly recommend Sydney.

If you ask me, I think aged care is a trap. I got the cert and I have never used it for once. Hope to someday, cos it is a back up plan. They require experience to give you job, another thing is student visa work limitations.
My recommendation, take a look at Chinese, Vietnamese and Indians, you find them almost In every sector here in WA. Africans, mostly Nigerians and Kenyans NA aged care, if you ask me.... That industry is crowded and what yh can't we be everywhere. ?
On arrival, I can recommend you get a white card, forklift ticket, working at elevated work platforms and some other relevant tickets, ... Not like these stuffs are golden job tickets, but you have more options with more recruitment agencies. Compared to aged care or disability.., but then the bulk of it de God hand and what you can handle, but aged care ba woman e fit well. Also, it depends on where you go. Also learn a skill before you comot naija o. Whether NA tiling, barbing or hairdressing or something else .... Sha no come here empty handed. NA mistake wey a lot of students make be that.
