The Australian Sponsorship Market

Because only a small portion of Australian employers are able to sponsor prospective migrant workers it is important to know who is and isn’t sponsoring.
The Australian Government provides a wealth of employment information on myfuture.edu.au allowing you to keep a finger on the pulse of Australia’s thriving job market and giving you an insight into which companies are currently offering sponsorship positions.
You can also find a variety of sponsored job options on the 457 Jobs Australia Website, a relatively new resource with plenty of job options.

Dig Out That Passport And Plan A Trip to Australia

Once you have beefed up your social media and researched the sponsored jobs in your field it is well worth considering an Australian holiday where you can meet face to face with employers.
In this day and age Skype interviews are not out of the ordinary, but nothing shows commitment like travelling across the world for a face to face meet up.
If you don’t have any interviews arranged, don’t let that dishearten you. There is no shame on visiting the employer anyway and dropping off an up to date copy of your CV and showing your interest in both the company and the country.
