Hello Kudakwashe and welcome to our community 🙂
I understand your desire to move to Australia sooner rather than later and if you have lodged an EOI already, it’s a great idea to run a secondary process in parallel.
.As an Agricultural Consultant (ANZSCO 234111), you have several visa pathways to consider:
1. Employer-Sponsored Visas:
Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482): This visa allows Australian employers to sponsor skilled workers. Your occupation is on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), making you eligible for the medium-term stream, which can be valid for up to four years.
Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa (Subclass 186): This permanent residency visa requires nomination by an Australian employer. Given your occupation’s presence on the MLTSSL, you may qualify under the Direct Entry stream.
2. Regional Sponsored Visas:
Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 494): This visa enables regional employers to sponsor skilled workers for positions in designated regional areas. It offers a pathway to permanent residency after three years.
Designated Area Migration Agreements (DAMA): These agreements allow employers in specific regions to sponsor overseas workers in occupations not typically available for sponsorship. While Agricultural Consultant is on the MLTSSL, exploring DAMA regions might provide additional opportunities.
Job Search Strategies:
https://482jobs.com: As one of our affiliated websites, 482jobs.com lists positions confirmed to offer visa sponsorship. It’s a valuable resource for finding sponsored roles.
Seek (https://seek.com.au) and Indeed (https://indeed.com.au): These platforms frequently feature agricultural roles. Using keywords like “Agricultural Consultant” and “visa sponsorship” can help identify potential opportunities.
Enhancing Your Employability:
Resume Optimisation: Tailor your resume to Australian standards, highlighting relevant experience and skills. Our article, “Australia Resume Tips: Craft a Winning Resume in Australia,” offers detailed guidance: https://482jobs.com/australia-resume-tips-craft-winning-resume/
Networking: Connect with Australian agricultural businesses and professional associations. Engaging with industry groups can uncover hidden job opportunities.
LinkedIn Profile: Ensure your LinkedIn profile is up-to-date and aligned with Australian industry expectations. Our article, “15 Expert Tips to Get Noticed by Australian Recruiters on LinkedIn,” provides actionable advice: https://482jobs.com/15-expert-tips-to-get-noticed-by-australian-recruiters-on-linkedin
Next Steps:
Job Applications: Actively apply for positions and communicate your willingness to relocate promptly.
Consultation: Consider consulting with a registered migration agent to discuss your specific circumstances and ensure you’re pursuing the most suitable visa pathway. We do have an agent we can refer you to if you would like an initial assessment (a fee applies however).
I hope this information assists you in your journey to Australia. If you have further questions or need additional guidance, feel free to ask.
Best regards,
Mark
