    Hi Syawaluddin,

    Welcome to the community! 😊 Given your background, your best pathway to working in Australia will depend on whether your occupation aligns with the skilled migration lists.

    Unfortunately, “General Administrator” is not typically listed on the skilled occupation lists for independent visas like the Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189) or the Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190). However, you can explore employer-sponsored visa options such as the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (subclass 482) if you secure a job offer from an Australian employer willing to sponsor you.

    Steps to Find a Job with Sponsorship:

    1. Search for Sponsored Jobs: Start by applying for jobs on sites that list visa-sponsored positions:

    2. Optimise Your Resume and LinkedIn Profile: Australian employers prefer a specific resume format. I recommend checking this guide: Australia Resume Tips: Craft a Winning Resume in Australia. Also, improving your LinkedIn presence can help recruiters find you: 15 Expert Tips to Get Noticed by Australian Recruiters on LinkedIn.

    3. Consider Alternative Pathways: Since administrative roles are not always on the skilled occupation lists, you might want to look at sectors where your experience could be transferable, such as project coordination, contracts administration, or procurement roles within Oil and Gas companies in Australia.

    4. Upload Your Resume for Employers: Many Australian recruiters actively search for candidates on 482 Jobs – Submit Your Resume. This increases your chances of getting noticed.

    Since you mentioned you are willing to provide your own visa, you could also explore short-term work opportunities under a Work and Holiday Visa (subclass 462) or a Student Visa (subclass 500) if you are open to upskilling while working part-time.

    I hope this helps! Feel free to let me know if you need further guidance.

    Best of luck!
    Regards,
    Mark
