Let me tell you what I tell new migrants trying to work and save money....Move to a regional town. There are more jobs and easy access to getting these jobs in regional area...problem is you might not get a job as a telecom engineer there (depending on the regional area you find yourself in). Even I lived in regional area for yearsssssss. You work, you save and rent in most of these regional areas are cheaper than in a city. Because people do not like to live in these places, there are jobs. I was reading somewhere on the Australian thread about a migrant who moved to regional QLD and got a job working at Telstra quite quickly....the biggest mobile company in the country.

Find a regional area that has the basic things you need. You can even buy things online. I shop groceries online these days .Whatever you do, never stop applying online for jobs in your area of speciality (telecom engineering).

If you want your family to join you and you want to save money to bring them, try regional area. Work there for sometime and when you have saved enough, pack your bags and move to a city

Two ways you can do this. Stay regional save and when it's almost time for family to come over you can either

1. Start looking for a job in the city and pray you get one just before they land. If you find a job, start looking for a place in a suburb away from the city....you will find houses cheaper there and prepare for your family's arrival

2. Continue to live in regional. Fly your family over and wifey get's a job. You both save

Cities are fun to be in. There is just so much you can do on your days off. Sightseeing and window shopping and it's busy and exciting.. like Lagos but there is time for everything. You will get to enjoy these things once you and your family settle

Overall it is your decision at the end of the day what you wanna do, but if you are going to be sending money back home to your family, you need to find a place where you can work and save at the same time.

It will be rough initially..but I promise you, it will be worth it. Australia truly is an amazing country . Oh forget about racism. There are fair here (speaking for myself). Where I work now, I am the first black person to have the position I have now. I didn't get to where I am now in a day...but I got here eventually. I have a sibling who is a Geologist and is currently holding a senior managerial role at Rio Tinto, he is also black.. like you and I.

It is well

Bnimz:

Some telecom engineers are based in the eastern states but honestly you can find a job anywhere. Many Indians with your kind of degree are in Perth

I included my masters, and I never finish am yet. At the time I submitted only a partial transcript containing first semester results sef... Nobody complained, so, yes, you for include am...

However,, nothing spoil at all... Putting it in your EOI is fine.. E no concern anybody either way since it doesn't add points...

In this process it just pays to be consistent so that if something crops up, one can fully defend it. That is all..

In celebration mode, it's my birthday and wedding anniversary.

statement of result will do

@CottyEkundayo,
I don't think there is anywhere EA asked for certificate. Even if it is required, to whom it may concern letter from the school would have done the trick. What you need is your transcript which doesn't require convocation to collect.
Now you have to pay thousands of dollars for something you can get for less and better.
@Mikol,
Jukeblam gave you an appropriate response. Nothing to add.

yes
