@wellendowed please I need your advice on a PR/career path as I just recently moved down to Australia.

Brief background
Me: BSc Mechanical Eng. and MSc Oil & Gas Eng. I moved down to Melbourne 7month ago on the temp. graduate Visa 476. No experience.
My wife: BSc Psychology and MSc Social work. A year experience in social work. (All uk qualifications)

I have been struggling to get a graduate job ere in Melbourne or even considered. my inexperience is the defining factor here but thought my side qualifications will give me a fighting chance. So the option of sponsorship is not looking good at all. Processing my pr through the Skilled 189

My wife and son re joining me in the next 3month so looking at relocating before they get ere to save cost. Just want to position myself in a region that I can make good money even if it's a trade job.


My questions are:
1 Do you think I have a better opportunity in Western Australia compared to Victoria ?
2 with my lack of experience in what I studied, what will you advice base on your OZ knowledge in getting a foot into the mining/oil&gas industry?
3Should I just settle with my current job (CNC operator)/region until I obtain the PR and follow through with a professional year program?

Will be happy to hear your opinion sir and thank you for your time

Will be happy to share information i have obtained so far with you. I will advice you to put up an ad for accommodation that's if you have not sorted that out as that was the most changeling part of my planning. Below are the website i have used so far for my planning

Hello, pls i am coming to australia but looking ways to settle down quickly and get a job ASAP.
I have an 18 months working visa, Skilled graduate migration visa (subclass 476). I hope to get a professional job but won't mind a casual job for a start to keep me going first. I am a mechanical engineer by training.
Please, advice the best city to come to and how to settle in quickly. Ultimately, I look forward to applying for PR during my stay. Thanks.

Hello, I am in a similar situation as i just recently been granted the skilled graduate visa and will like to move to Australia as soon as possible. Will be happy if you could pass any relevant information you might have obtained
