Hi all,
I have a diploma in Engineering from 2011,and a postgraduate course in Health and safety at work. I am thinking to apply for a skilled migration or any type of visa(to get there),the problem is that I don't have any experience in this area.
What I'm working at the moment is not on their lists.Can someone help me with some advice of what I should start doing.I am open to suggestions.
Thank you

My advice would be to see how much work experience you need to pass the skills assessment, get a job doing that, and after you have the required work experience hope your job is still wanted in Australia.

Yes, I know that I should get some work experince in engineering but is quite hard to get in,especially when you are a foreigner. Not looking for excuses, I'm sending my CV to companies and trying to match my skills with the requirements. I was thinking that will be quickerto get work experiene in Australia

Thank you, you answered my question. I know that I will be still a foreigner but it would be better to try to get exp there to save time. Rather than working here 3 years I can work there 3 years and more
but like you said they won't sponsor someone without exp.

It is irrelevant whether it is "better" to get experience in Australia, the fact is that you can't as you don't have a visa.

You will then find it difficult getting job with Visa + Foreign experience because you will then need "Australian Experience".
So you are trying to compete with others who have Visa and have experience be it foreign?

The main problem I think that it is the lack of experience in my field,not necesarrily the foreign exp. I was trying to say that being a foreign,doesn't matter where is hard to be a professional,especially when what you've studied is out of date and not used in Uk. Need to change my plans, any advice?
