Hi buddies,
This is to my naija bro and sis who are working outside of Nigeria for the first time.

Before I start, let me state that your rights at work are fully protected and everybody behaves in a manner consistent with the code of conduct of their organization, so people are rarely ever rude. If anyone is rude, you may escalate the matter and trust me, you will get justice.

A lot has been said on getting a job but there is an area which landed seniors haven't discussed that much. It is dealing with co-workers, your life at work, and relationship with superiors and subordinates. You have worked very hard to get the job, deservedly so, now the next thing is retaining the job and consolidating your position at work.

I have noticed there are stages of relationship which you will experience at work here. Firstly, when you show up at work the first day, there might be a few heads turning. Don't let that bother you. Just keep calm and raise your head high.

Next stage; some people might be skeptical of your ability. There are instances when you say things in meetings and they will be like.. "Hmmm.....ok". Australians are very courteous at work. If they disagree, they might not say it verbally. That same idea you proposed but was rejected would receive an applause if it was proposed by another person they trust more. Again, do not let that bother you. You will need a great dose of emotional intelligence to be able to work successfully with Australians. There are moments I feel like beating the living daylight out of some colleagues. In such instances, I hold myself back, smile and assertively handle them differently. Some of them will intentionally make you angry. The key is NEVER show emotions. Imagine this scenarios; look at two people arguing afar, which of them would you describe as the aggressor? Definitely the one whose voice is louder. So as much as possible never allow your relationship between any of your colleagues to degenerate to that level. If you were right, but choose to handle it by being aggressively confrontational, you might be perceive as a threat. If the matter gets to HR, you might be blamed and referred for anger management etc.

The last stage is what I would describe as "Stage of Trust". You are now in charge. You have earned their trust and confidence. They will entrust you with more responsibilities and every minute of your 8 hours would be fun!

Hi everyone, I will be sharing my story whilst trying not to repeat points already shared by others.

PHCN frustrated me out of Nigeria earlier than I planned so I was quite scattered on the day I was leaving. I flew Emirates and the flight left as scheduled with me being one of the last to check in due to my 'overload syndrome'(I just found it extremely difficult fitting my entire existence into 2 suitcases!). For people like me that can pack for Africa, 23kg is very small so you are better off focusing on things you might not get here. For the ladies, it might be useful to bring black hair products and hair extensions (though they sell expression here but its so tiny and does not come out as nice as the Naija one). Hair cream and relaxers are important as there only two places I know in the whole of Sydney that sell black hair products and one might not have the luxury of time to go there always.

Stopover at Dubai was good as IOM arranged for someone to meet and usher me to the boarding gate for the connecting flight. I was very happy and impressed because I thought they had done me enough favour already by making the ticket available at half price

We also had another stopover in Thailand which I did not like, because the ticket read DXB-SYD. This stopover was however not long (just about an hour and a half) so I finally got to Sydney after about a day of travel. I found Sydney to be a lot like the UK in many areas so things did not feel very strange afterall.

I stayed with a friend for a few days and got my own accommodation a few days later. However, I had to move out of the house after just a month because I was not comfortable. Like others have said, it is very important to ask about all the conditions before moving into any house. Do not allow any landlord to fool you by saying they will send the documentation later(after you move in), it is most likely a trap because at this point, you would have paid and will most likely be bound to fulfill the minimum lease period.

I chose to live in Sydney and the major factor that informed my choice was the availability of jobs in my field. This, and other factors like ease of travel with the public transport system (as I did not intend to drive immediately) helped me decide. In fact, I had a spreadsheet when I was still in Nigeria where I was doing a comparison between Sydney and Melbourne based on the factors I considered important to me.

As I do not drive, I use public transport and spend about $60 per week on travel. The trains are more reliable than the buses so when renting, be sure to ensure that you get a place close to the train station if not driving. You really don't want to have a lot to do with the buses because they can really test your patience.

I shared my job search strategy in an earlier post on the other thread.

I will be back to share more of my experience as time goes on.

Pls Sir, stop spamming the thread.

There are so many people running their personal business. Setting up a business is very easy. Depending on the type of business you want to set up, government compliance is where you pay more attention to or else you enter compliance trouble.

Nevertheless, it is easy to start a business as long as you have your capital or ideas on what you want to do.
