Hello, how about getting a job from Nigeria in Australia and the firm is willing to assist in the process of you getting there. How does it go?

Your question is not clear. Are you asking if it is possible to get a job from Nigeria and be sponsored for the visa?

Yes please

Yes, you can get a job that can offer temporary skills shortage visa. Getting such job is dependent on your skills and the ability to sell yourself.

If you are a geotechnical engineer, you can get one easily. There are other occupations like that in very high demand.

you can do it after you land. As it is called insurance, if anything happens like a medical emergency between when you land and getting the insurance, you are on your own and will be paying a lot of money out-of-pocket

If your visa has been approved, you can travel anytime from the initial entry date on your visa. Yes, you can start to work before school resumes.

Hello guys. I want to ask about chances of getting work as a forklift driver in Australia. I currently school in Tokyo and I just enrolled in a forklift driving institute and will get the licence at the end.

You don't need any COVID test to travel but it is advisable to come along with your covid vaccine certificate.

There are plenty work for forklift drivers. It is usually a 2-3 days training in Australia to get the high risk work licence.

There are lots of jobs for forklift driver.. especially if u are very experienced in using them…In fact, u are going to be dragged by a lots of agencies begging u to work for them… but they are quick to sack u if they feel that u don’t have experience .. it’s not a hard job tho… once u know how to drive and pick up loads, it’s gonna be very simple

Most jobs have good pay tho… from $30 to $38 per hour

there are different forklifts tho and u should be prepared so u don’t get taken unawares
Gas and Electric is common … and some forklifts have different type of pedals.. some 2 some 3

…it might be confusing at first but in a few minutes, you’ll get it right

I’m also a forklift driver jsyk… (nearly fell a truck during my first job)😂

Because there’s a high chance of u tipping over and destroying the load if u do things wrongly 💀

Forklift deaths are also a possibility

thanks Baba. I am currently in Tokyo doing my masters and will be done by next year September. I saw an institute here that offer training and license after training in forklift and I just feel it may be worth giving a try for future opportunities. I don't have any experience driving before but they said the Training will last for four days.

Hang on! You are doing your masters in Tokyo but your plan is to go into forklifting in Australia?

I want to move to Australia after my masters here because getting a Japanese passport is not attainable and Japan is not an ideal place to build wealth.

You have to look at the job market for your discipline. Mine was that of social science and to use it, I think going further to do PhD and eventually ending up in the academic world will be the cool thing. But I need money, international exposure and ultimately second passport.

The government classified it as high risk because its accident can cause serious injury and/or death.
