EDIT : I got mamy questions from readers of this article. I put the questions and the answers at the end of this article. If you have new questions let me know in the comments and Ill get to them as soon As I get a chance.LETāS DO IT !!!!!START HERE ā”ļø ā”ļø I guarantee, by the time you finish reading this article and apply what I say, you will 100% get your dream job extremely fast, not just in Australia but anywhere in the world.I came to Australia in 2022 as a student to do my Bsc at Monash University, Clayton VIC. I finished my degree in 2022 and in the same year I landed a Web Designer job at a reputable company in Richmond.Then I went to an even better job, then even better salary and along the way, I worked at Deakin University in Burwood as a Web Development Coordinator as well. Oh man I LOVED that job. 2 mins drive from my home, brand new $5000 upgraded Apple Macbook Pro for free, ability to work from home for few days a week, ability work at the Deakin modern headoffice in CBD, super high tech conference rooms youāve never seem before, Just WOW!When you find the #DreamJob you will never regret a single day.Landing jobs were extremely easy for me. You might think I'm extremely smart and talented. NO! and NO!. I think Im just creative and brave. I donāt give a rats ass about what others think and I always jump and take risks without worrying about the consequences. Be like that and youāll go places and remember life is too short to live small and be an average-bloke no one remembers.I got normal grades at school and even in Uni. My programming skills are below the average requirement Employers looking for. Seriously. I am a Front-end Developer (Website builder) and my jQuery and Angular skills (programming skills) are around 3/10. So I am not the most skilled and experienced person.I landed jobs because I followed a specific path and some secrets I figured out by myself. I did few things other candidates didnāt bother doing. I'm going to tell you all in this article.My friends had a really hard time landing jobs and I realised they have been doing everything wrong. I know a LOT of people happily spend thousands of dollars on course fees, spend years and years at universities and in the end, end up doing an odd job they are not proud of. Many people are stressed at work or in the wrong field because they donāt know how to land their #dreamjob. Job takes up all your life and itās meant to make you feel happy, safe and motivated not the other way round. Everyone is promoting āQuit 9ā5ā but No! Find the right 9ā5 and itāll help you save a lot of money, buy a nice house, find the right partner and have more free time for yourself. It did for me. Thatās the reason I decided to write this article.Donāt think going to the best universities or just coming to Australian alone will give you a bright future. Thereās more to it. You have to work extremely hard on yourself, on your career and everyone around you and that will guarantee a bright future. Iām going to help you get the āYour careerā part right. :)Iām going to tell you how to get a job in Australia the easy way, no bull.Iām a Sri Lankan. The whole process of getting a job is very different in here. This article is for all the International blokes and local blokes who are having a hard time landing a job. I wish someone told me these earlier in my career. Things would have been so much easier that way. But no one in the freaking world was able to put down some points together and give a sure fire way to land a job. Because no one wants to share their secrets.OK... Here you goā¦1) Change your name.Yes from today you will get yourself a name thatās easy to pronounce and remember.My actual name is Udara Uragoda. But I use Udi Ura when applying for jobs. I still apply for jobs with my original name, but you get better chances with an English name. If you are Ching Chong, go with something like Michael Chong. You get the idea right? Same with Indians, Bangladeshis, Vietnamese, Chinese etc. Change your name. Why? Because it's simply easy to remember and pronounce.EDIT: Some asked me if they have to change the name ālegallyā. No! Just a pet name. Everyone has one, so get one for yourself as well.2) Get your own domain name.Now, if your new name is Udi Ura, get http://UdiUra.com.au, if its Jay Singh, get http://JaySinghe.com.au. It's $12 per year, $24 for 2 years on Crazy Domains. Why? Iāll explain further down.3) Setup a Professional Email account.Then set up a professional email account that goes with your domain. Then create hello@yourname.com.au email address for yourself. Then set it up on your Mobile as well.Donāt ever email your CV / Resume from your Gmail addresses or Hotmail address especially if you are in IT. But this applies to everyone. You have 0% chance on landing a job with spammy email addresses. Emailing from Gmail and Hotmail was ok 15 years ago when Emailing was new, but now things have changed and you have to change accordingly. IT has changed a lot and its now easily accessible for everyone.You might land a job but you have to be really lucky or you must have some really unique skills and experience other candidates donāt have. But for the rest of us, thatās not the case :)You can set up this from crazy domains as well. Ask for their help Domain Names Search - Domain Name Registration Australia4) Now setup a simple Website for yourself.If you donāt know how to, then get someone from FIVERR .com to setup a simple wordpress site for you. Wonder why you need a website? See the FAQs section at the end of the article but first finish reading this.Keep everything simple. Donāt follow the CV structure you followed when you were back in your country. Keep it really simple on the website as well. Iāll tell you more about the CV structure later.5) Do your CVDo not follow the CV structure you used back in your country. Australian CV structure is EXTREMELY different. Donāt ever put things like Bio data, Nationality, Height, Weight (lol), hair colour etc.Ok. This is important. Companies have CV filtering systems. They search for keywords in your CV and thatās how they drill down 10,000 applications to 5 applications. To tackle this, make sure to have good keywords in the body text of your CV and cover letter. If you are a web designer, include web site design, UX Design, UI Developer etc in the body of the CV when writing.6) Setup a LinkedIn ProfileThis is very important. This is the first place Aussie companies look for before calling you for an interview.Put the same content as CV and Website, enter your skills, past experiences etc etc. The CV, Website and Linkedin Profile all need to be on aligned when it comes to content.7) Do a Cover LetterOk back to the list. Again keep it simple and very different to the cover letters back in your country. Donāt ever say āDear Sirā. Australians don't use Sir. Say āDear {first name}ā example āDear Michelleā instead.8) Search for Jobs on SEEKGo to SEEK - Australia's no. 1 jobs, employment, career and recruitment site and start looking for jobs. When you apply, make sure to save the job description into word documents if you're interested.Create folders for every month and copy and paste the job descriptions into word documents and save it in your folder. The reason is usually companies take down their job listing from Seek when they start sorting candidates.9) Applying for JOBS. Read Carefully!Ok. This is the most important part.Before applying, proofread everything. Give it to someone in FIVERR and proofread your CV and Cover Letter both. Then fix your Website and the LinkedIn profile as wellWhen applying, make sure the cover letter is addressed to the right person in the company. DONT EVER send a mass email to every company you can find with Dear Sir/Madam on it. It needs to be personalised.Think of it this way. If you donāt even spend some time to show that you really like to work in a particular company and you donāt even call them and ask their Human Resources Managerās name or the person in charge of your roleās name, why would they give a shit about you?Australian companies get over 5000 applications for each job. Especially IT and Accounting jobs. I once applied and landed a job and the Recruitment officer said they received 10,000 applications. Then they filtered it to 5 applicants and interviewed everyone and finally chose me. This is 6 years ago. So now, itās 10X more competitive.But you are lucky because you found this article. Not everyone will apply for jobs properly. That means you have a high chance of landing the job :)First things firstFirst, make sure the Job title is displayed in your CV and Cover letter as EXACTLY as the companyās job description. If the company is looking for a Front-end Web Developer, change your CV and Cover Letter header part to Front-end Web Developer. Donāt just leave it as Web Developer or Web Programmer.Everything in your Cover letter and CV should align with what the company is looking for. You are the one looking for the job, not the company. So give your CV and Cover Letter some thought before applying.The important thing is, you donāt have to apply for 100s of jobs. You only have to apply for 10ā20 jobs, the right way and BOOM!Emailing the CVOnce CV and Cover Letter is ready, copy the cover letter heading and the body copy to your email, attach the CV and Cover letter and send it to the person. Send them in PDF format. Donāt ever send ugly word documents unless they specifically ask for it.Add your email signature as well with your new name, phone, email etc.Following upAfter a day or two, call them and ask them about the job you applied. Every company will pryou how they are going.10) InterviewLetās say a company calls you for an interview. Hereās how you will attend the interviewBe PreparedYou are so close to getting the job. So donāt mess it up.First, research about the company. What they do, their website, staff, managers, directors, type of work they do and what your exact role is at the company.Search the company on Google and read their Articles, PR articles, Facebook, News everything you can find. Know 100% in and out of the company. This alone will increase your chances of landing the job by 100%.They will ask you questions to see if you actually did any research. Do it! It's very very very very important.Dress codeIf you are a male, wear a nice suit and a tieBe there at least 5 minutes before the interview. Donāt ever get late. Once I got 10 mins late and the HR manager asked me to leave after I arrive at their office. If you ever get late, call them and inform. But if you are late itās bad first impression so you might as well drive back home.If you are a woman, get a nice office suite from a good clothing shop. Google office attire and follow them.During the interview & PERSONALITYSay Hello {Personās name}, and shake hand.Be cool. This is the most important thing. Donāt act like you are just off the boat. Act like you have been living in Australia for a long time and you love the culture and you have adapted well.Maybe you DO love the culture already, but the point is, you have to show you can blend in with their companyās current staff and culture well. This is the MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF ADVICE. I have seen companies interview extremely skilled people but they donāt know how to blend in and be nice to others. No one hires this type. Companies donāt just look for the skill. They first look at the personality and if you pass that, then the skills.So, this is the time you show them you are the right person for the job. If you act like a cocky dumb idiot, then forget about the job. This is where most of the International blokes like us get screwed. We act like stupid dickheads! Donāt, because you have a high chance of landing the job.Show them you are friendly, you can work with others and you are down to earth.They will decide if you are the right person within the first 2 minutes of meeting you. Trust me. They meet a lot of candidates EVERYDAY and they can feel you even before you arrive.If you donāt know something tell them you donāt know it but you are the type of a person who loves to learn and they will accept, but still, you have to do your research and be well prepared for their questions.Once I got a job interview with 24 hours notice, I went to http://lynda.com and learnt this particular Content Management System called Joomla in 10 hours at a stretch. You have to be extremely committed. Remember, there are 10,000 applicants.Impressing the recruitment officerI always always impress the interviewer. Hereās how I do it and this is the best secret out of all the secrets.When my role is Front-end Developer, the first thing I do is look at their current website. They probably want someone to look after their websites. So what I do is, I design their website in Photoshop and print it on large boards from Officeworks (printing company) and take it to the interview.EVERYTIME⢠YES EVERY TIME I do this, the interviewers go WOW! and they canāt believe their eyes. They just look at each other with glazed eyes. You have to do exactly the same in your field. You have to impress them in a way they will NEVER FORGET. You can think of ways to impress no matter what your role is. Accountants can impress, Engineers can impress, Data entry guys can impress. Anyone can impress if you think outside the box and be creative. Donāt be scared to impress. Give yourself permission to be creative and take risks.Being different is the game.I once impressed a General Manager during the interview and he has told his whole team about me once I left the interview. I finally got the job and me impressing the GM was a topic that always came up until I resigned after 3 years. In his actual words, āYou set the bar high for the other guys.āWhen that happens, you know you got the job by its horns.If you do all these you will land a job within 2 weeks rather than 2 years. Trust me. You got this and this is a proven method I use every time and it just works.Also watch the movie āThe Pursuit of Happynessā. Thatās how committed you should be when you look for a job.My dream is to get this article to 100,000 upvotes. So go ahead and hit Upvote and Comment. I promise Iāll reply :)All the best! Let me know how you go.Frequently Asked QuestionsI recently moved here. I donāt have experience or references. What should I doI know. Iāve been there too. How can I get 2 years of freakin experience if you are not willing to give me a job right? Do this. Look for internships. Ask to work for free. Start with a small entry type junior role. Work for no money. Gain the experience of atleast 6 months this way. That experience you gain will be worth a Million . Doesnāt have to be from the same company. But it has to be in the same industry or similar role. Donāt do random jobs. Decide which role or industry you want to work in, you are passionate about and then go hunt. Itāll be tough. Extremely tough. Youāll feel like giving up after going for 15 interviews. But donāt. You are always just 1 interview away from achieving your dream job, settling down, buying that house, car and having a happy life with so much money and freedom. (Thatās what I kep telling myself in the early years and it works and itās true )Iām overseas right now. How do I get a Job in Australia from here?I am not very knowledgeable in the work visa field. Talk to a reputed Australian migration agent. Send me a Message and I have couple of good contacts. Important thing is donāt look for cheap lawyers and waste your money. Many readers sent me messages saying they lost thousands by scam migration agents. So be cautious.Iām in engineering, medical, teaching, gardening field. Is this occupation in demand in Australia?Best way to find is by looking at current jobs. Go to http://seek.com.au and enter your role. Enter a broader keyword instead of a narrow one. Example : instead of typing āwater engineerā or ātransport engineerā type ācivil engineerā. No plurals. Just singular.Then select Sydney and search. Go through all the job roles and read them. Do the same with Melbourne. Spend a good few hours researching and understand whatās in demand. No ones going to help you with these. You have to do it your self and become knowledgeable in your space and understand the job market. Remember, you have to adjust to the jobs in the market not the otherway round. If the jobs in the market is not what you want you have to adjust. You canāt stop the WAVES but you can learn to SWIM.Why do I need a website?Think of it this way. When you apply for a job, the first thing the recruiter will do is Google you. When that happends you have to be present on the internet. The recruiter expects to see your LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Stackoverflow, Dribble, Youtube, Personal Website (aha, see), comments you have made on public websites, etc. When someone searches you, the entire first page of good should be filled with your Stuff. Thatās called being active and present in 2019.IF THEREāS ANYTHING ELSE YOU LIKE ANSWERED PUT IT IN COMMENTS.
