Hi guys, it's been such a long time I dropped by, I forgot my login details and never had the time to reset the password until now. I would like to share my brief experience, to help those who are planning to come to this great country.

I came in 6 months ago and settling down in Sydney wasn't too difficult for me, because I did my homework well and knew what I was expecting in terms of cost of living and job opportunities. I got a house on gumtree.com.au, my friends helped me tidy my resume, I applied to lots of jobs through seek.com.au, and was lucky to get 2 jobs within my first 3 weeks, so I got to choose the best. I did Cert IV in Disability, and I've been working in the Disability Sector and it's awesome. I also changed my course from Master of Accounting to Bsc Nursing.

Some key points to note:
1. Come through PR or scholarship if you can, the school fees is pure extortion
2.Choose Sydney if you can. It's an awesome city with heaps of opportunities, you'll be tired of jobs. I'm not sure about other cities though.
3. Come with some money that can sustain you for a while cos you don't know when you'll get a job. Not everyone is lucky to get a job as soon as they arrive, and I've seen Naija students live here like church rats cos they came with no plan and expected money to fall from trees as soon as the landed.
4. If you want to get a good job after studies, choose your course carefully. Just because a course can give you PR doesn't mean it can give you jobs upon graduation, except you want to work minimum wage jobs all your life. Accounting/finance is one of the most useless courses here, it's only on PR list cos of the revenue it generates, especially from Asian students, don't make that mistake
5. Disability sector is massive with numerous jobs, get your certificate as soon as you arrive if it's your kind of thing, you'll make enough money to cover your bills. Don't bother about aged care cos the pay is shitty and the job more stressful.
6. Nursing is life, you'll never lack jobs and the pay is excellent. IT is so so, cos too many Indians have infiltrated the field.
7. As a student, you can't work full time or part time; only casual and casual jobs pay higher cos you can't get paid holidays etc. And for casual jobs, Aussies don't care much about degree (there are exceptions of course), job experience is bae, so fix your resume as soon as you arrive.
8. Cost of living is the only negative but the high wages make up for that.
9. Sydney is bae. Endless beaches and parks, great restaurants and bars if you like fine dining like I do, rivers and lakes for nature lovers; the list is truly endless. Makes the high cost of living worth it.
10. Coming to Australia is the best decision I have ever made and I love my life here.

For ladies, fake Naija guys will be all over you as soon as they know you're new, use your brain and don't fall for bullshit, take your time and don't let anyone rush you. If you like dating other races and you're good looking, Aussie men like African girls, you'll have decent men hitting on you, then you'll get to choose the best. Take care of yourself and look sharp even before you leave Naija, loose weight if you're fat. Know your self worth, have a focus and most importantly, don't be slutty cos it won't get you anywhere (I'm saying this cos I know a couple of gals here who think that being easy and slutty will get them a hubby and PR )

If anyone has any questions about Sydney or my school WSU, quote me and I'll respond as soon as I can.

Good luck in your hustles

Thanks for this. But I have a question. I am planning to come and study diploma in nursing in a TAFE school. I intend paying for 1st semester only before coming over. Do you think I can use the casual jobs to put myself through school and also pay my bills. I have a 4years banking experience...can such facilitate my getting a job faster on arrival? And do you think diploma in nursing can afford me decent jobs over there before saving money to go for a Bsc in nursing. Awaiting your kind reply[quote author=chuglothen post=53997906]Please assist with my questions in my previous post....i did not quote you properly

Y not mail the school telling them about your visa status and request for an extension,my husband did same last year and got one week extension,so he had it handy for when the VO requested for an extension letter to issue his visa

classichsy:

l can only but wish you the best in your endeavours.
You mentioned IT so so...Lol
Kindly emphasise more....

Solitin40:
@JewelStone
What's the duration for the disability course
What are the differences between III and IV?
Is the course still available for International students
can students pay 50% of the school fees with this part time job

sammywemmy:
Hi JewelStone, This is very detailed. thanks a lot. need some pointers from you: what courses, in your opinion, are relevant or helpful in terms of getting a good job in sydney? You already mentioned Nursing and Disability; you also mentioned IT as a so so. Any other courses that are very relevant and can get one a well paying job? I am trying to follow in your steps and do my homework very well before landing in Sydney sometime in July on a PR.

Please your urgent answer will be appreciated

nellyalph:
First of all, do not type in bold letters. It's difficult to read and its hurting to the eye. I actually passed your post

WestAfrican:
Hang in there, your case officer will advice you to defer your admission if need be.
They know time is running out. If after two weeks of orientation, you may want to write them to know what is going on.
That's what I would do if I were in your shoes.

Nice then. Make I quote my G's.. Jamson come here oo.
