Мне интересно, как люди ищут, а ещё интереснее как находят инженерную работу?
Что-то сложилось впечатление, что сидалище полное с работой для имми в инженеренге из-за пресловутого "local experience".
Ниже привёл, что один чел на эту темку написал. Только он не написал, как из этой ситуации выкручиваться.
After s/he makes you an offer and you accept it, the position is advertised--to complete formalities. People will send their CVs and apply for the position. Some may have phone interview and even personal interview, but that is all part of the formal procedure and to complete statistics, because the successful candidate is already known!
As a migrant to Australia, you do not know many people, so you resort to applying for advertised positions; which is a sure recipe to long unemployment.
So, as a migrant engineer in Australia, if you apply for an advertised position, it is normal that you do not get a reply at all. At best you may get an email saying "thank you for applying but you were unsuccessful but we will keep you in the database for future reference...": which should read as "thank you for being a fool and wasting your time just to help us complete our statistics".
If you are persistent and call the recruiter to ask why they rejected your application, "lack of local experience" is the easiest excuse against a migrant. But if you had 20 years local experience, there are plenty of other excuses: resume too long, too short, not clear, contains errors...your work experience is too broad or too narrow; you are over-qualified or under-qualified; during a phone interview you sounded less confident or too confident; your personality does not fit the work culture; during a personal interview you dressed too formal or too informal; your shoes did not reflect the true work ethics of the company!!!! you name it.
In my 18 years in Australia, I had 4 jobs. Three were advertised after I already accepted the offer. There are many jobs I did not get, but found out later that they were already taken several months before advertising. I am not aware of any colleague or friend who actually got a good job purely in response to an advertisement.
Responding to advertised positions can be good in only one situation:
The really bad jobs--poor working conditions, low salaries--that nobody else really wants. A company may advertise these jobs, looking for someone desperate enough to accept them. Many migrants fall into these types of job. (and feel miserable and sorry soon after)
