Many Subclass 476 graduates struggle while finding a job in Australia. They are usually looking out for opportunities and are always on a hunt to make things work themselves while being away for home. There is no denial of the fact that Subclass 476 Visa is an ideal opportunity for fresh engineering graduates and there are various promising career opportunities that need to be tapped there. However, it is naïve to go there without any preparation and roadmap in mind. Many candidates assume that as soon as they land in Australia there will be abundant opportunities waiting for them. Opportunities are there, but one needs to work hard to discover them and make full use of them in order to secure an engineering career in Australia.
The first step to be taken is to ensure ‘networking’ beforehand.
The days of submitting random CVs and hoping to get a job, keep giving auditions and hoping to get a breakthrough, and keep publishing content and hoping that the world will somehow magically find you, are over.
If you are reading this post, chances are you have encountered at least one of these situations:
– Sent your CV (after refining it for weeks) to 50-100+ different companies and got exactly ZERO response. Even worse, someone you know who wasn’t as qualified as you, got a better offer than you because he knew someone in some company.
– Browsed through Craiglist, Gumtree, or Facebook groups in desperate need of a part-time job but didn’t get many responses back. The ones who replied offered below average hourly rate. You concluded that life sucks!
– Published videos on YouTube or articles on your blog only to find out that no one is watching or reading them, even when your content is much better than someone else’s who is getting tens of thousands of viewers or readers.
Connect with Influential People
In this article, the following people are being referred to as influential:
- Decision-makers in companies, organizations, and government
- People with influence in the digital world through their writing, Instagramming, YouTubing, etc.
For reference, these are some of the influential people that can be added to your network after you go to Australia:
- Team leads and senior managers in a handful of large companies
- Founders and CEOs of small organizations working in niche but high paying industries (such as independent consulting)
- Actors, writers, and directors working in theatre in Melbourne
- Singers and dancers with 100K to 1M+ views on their YouTube channels
- Entrepreneurs running 1-3 member start-up teams
- Media influencers – people running online magazines, TV channels, high-traffic blogs, or high-follower social media accounts
- Professor at the University of Melbourne conducting research on topic of my interest
With all of the above, have at least one coffee session to develop a deeper connection, and exchange Email, LinkedIn, Facebook, or Whatsapp to stay in touch when needed.
Building a network takes some work up front. But the ROI (return on investment) for your effort is worth it!
Moreover, once you develop a small influential network, it will introduce you to more influential people, and before you know it, you will be one of the influential people yourself.
Most people will never invest in building a network because they don’t know how to, or how much time it would take.
Building a network is a lifelong activity as there will always be more influential people than you. Through this blog post, however, we have given you hacks and scripts that now you can use to kickstart your network building by adding at least 10 influential people in your network in the next 30 days.
