Job Market in Melbourne

My first job here is: Job Seeker.

Applied many many jobs, sent many many emails to all the job but so far nothing comes back.

If you would like to find out how the job market works in Melbourne, I think I can only provide 10% insight of what I had encountered so far.

Prospect employers look for potential employees who has specialised skills, not like what we used to do, bao gah liao (jack of all trades, master of none) back in Sg or MY. You need to be really good in what you do and specialised in it. You can earn a very good salary here with very specialised and niche skills. If you qualify as a consultant, not by title, real consultant here can command a pay range of 100k to 150k. So, if you are reading this, be specialist in what you do before moving here.

People like me who used to bao gah liao, need to bite the bullet to start somewhere again. Be prepared to start a fresh again, don't have high expectations and put down all the pride that you have and learn to walk again.

Pray that God will open a door for me soon.
Amen.
