Australia is not very friendly to international students; without permanent residency, it is difficult to find an ideal job. To obtain permanent residency, one must have existing work experience, which is essentially a dead end... Nevertheless, many still choose to study in Australia. As technology advances, the number of those who cannot stay increases... This raises another issue: more and more international students choose to return to their home countries after graduation.
However, returning to one's home country still faces a very realistic problem: many good companies tend to hire employees with practical experience.
If one has merely studied abroad, has decent English skills, and holds a relatively good university degree, these characteristics are not enough to impress large companies back home.
Thus, the problem arises: whether one wants to stay in Australia or return to their home country, it all boils down to one point:
Work experience.
This work experience must also be relevant to one's field of study and have development prospects... This has become a shortcoming for many Australian international students returning home, as many students returning from Europe and the United States have overseas work experience.
Speaking of this, many people may have questions: if lacking experience, why not just go find some... However, a common phenomenon in Australia is that most local companies require permanent residency! Thus, this creates a vicious cycle...
Therefore, making a time plan in advance and leaving more time to accumulate work experience is crucial for international students.
So the question arises: how can one quickly accumulate work experience? In the face of identity barriers, there are actually some tricks that everyone can master.
First, we need to analyze carefully according to the timeline. Australia has two enrollment seasons each year, in February and July, with corresponding graduation times in June and November.
According to domestic recruitment habits, the spring recruitment has just ended, but many companies are recruiting summer interns.
If you do not want to return home, you can also use your vacation time to find an internship in an Australian company. Be sure to present yourself confidently and appropriately during the interview, showcasing your work abilities and skills as much as possible.
Here, I would like to inform everyone about the peak recruitment period in Australia. Every year, August to September is the highest peak for company recruitment, as companies have just completed their tax reporting. Due to tax issues, some positions may be temporarily vacant, but after tax reporting, companies will start hiring aggressively!
Secondly, after the New Year holiday, in February to March, due to the high mobility of the Australian job market, many people whimsically choose to leave their jobs during Christmas to enjoy a longer holiday.
This leads to a significant shortage of personnel in many large companies during February to March. If you can seize the opportunity during this period, not only can you find an internship, but even a full-time position is possible.
