    Hi Tanlika, I may have confused you using the term administration. 😵‍💫

    The thinking behind my recommendation was to gain experience in these fields with the eventual aim of transitioning into roles such as Office Manager or Customer Service Manager.

    Both these roles could open pathways to Australian visas, provided you meet specific criteria.

    Here’s an overview tailored to these occupations:

    1. Occupation Classification and Eligibility:

    Office Manager (ANZSCO 512111): This role involves organizing and controlling office functions and resources. It’s listed on the Regional Sponsor Migration Scheme (RSMS) and the Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa lists.

    Customer Service Manager (ANZSCO 149212): This position entails planning and managing customer service operations. It’s currently on the Short-Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), making it eligible for certain visa streams.

    2. Relevant Visa Options:

    Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190): A state-nominated permanent visa for skilled workers whose occupations are in demand in specific Australian states or territories.

    Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491): A provisional visa for skilled workers nominated by a state or territory to live and work in regional Australia.

    Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482): Allows employers to sponsor skilled workers when they cannot find an appropriately skilled Australian.

    So in short, time might be required on your side before you might be ready for your application.

    Hey Tanlaka and welcome to our little cummunity, here on the Web. ☺️

    In Australia, the role of a cashier is classified under ANZSCO code 631112. This classification is essential when considering visa options, as it determines eligibility for certain skilled migration programs.

    Visa Options:

    1. Employer-Sponsored Visas:

    Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482): This visa allows Australian employers to sponsor skilled workers for positions they cannot fill locally. However, securing employer sponsorship as a ccashierwill be very challenging due to the high availability of local candidates for this role.

    2. General Skilled Migration (GSM):

    Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189): A points-tested visa for individuals whose occupations are on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). Unfortunately, the occupation of cashier is not currently listed on the MLTSSL, making this pathway less feasible.

    Exploring New Opportunities:

    Given the challenges associated with migrating as a cashier, I recommend you might consider leveraging your skills in related fields or pursuing additional qualifications that are in higher demand in Australia.

    For instance, roles in office administration, customer service management, or financial services may offer more opportunities and align with your experience in cash handling and customer interaction.

    I hope this helps. Please ask more questions if you have them.

    All the best

    Hello Joseph and welcome.

    In the context of Australian skills assessments, providing an employment reference letter is typically a key requirement to verify your professional experience.

    However, if your employer is unwilling or unable to furnish such a letter, alternative documentation can be submitted to substantiate your employment history.

    Alternative Documentation:

    1. Statutory Declarations or Affidavits:

    A formal statement made by you or a colleague detailing your employment circumstances, roles, and responsibilities.

    The statement should explain why an official reference letter cannot be provided and include comprehensive details of your employment.

    Accompany tge statement with additional documents such as pay slips, tax records, employment contracts, or any other relevant materials that can corroborate your employment claims.

    2. Supporting Documents:

    Pay Slips: Provide pay slips from the start, middle, and end (or most recent) of your employment period.

    Tax Certificates: Official tax documents indicating your employment income.

    Employment Contracts: Copies of your employment agreements outlining terms and conditions.

    Service Certificates: Any certificates or letters from your employer confirming your period of service.

    So to summarise, It’s crucial to provide as much evidence as possible to substantiate your employment claims.

    Each assessing authority may have specific requirements, so direct communication with them is advisable to ensure compliance with their guidelines.

    I hope this helps

    February 4, 2025 at 5:34 pm in reply to: Searching for a Sponsorship

    Hi Jessica and welcome to our community 🤗

    Navigating the path to securing employer sponsorship in Australia can be challenging, especially within the translation and administrative sectors. Here’s a few suggestions fo you to consider over the next six months:

    1. Understand the Subclass 482 Visa (Temporary Skill Shortage – TSS):

    • Overview: The TSS visa allows Australian employers to sponsor skilled workers for positions they cannot fill with local talent. It comprises three streams: Short-Term, Medium-Term, and Labour Agreement.

    • Eligibility: Your occupation must be listed on the relevant skilled occupation list. Although administrative roles are not commonly featured, it’s essential to verify the current lists.

    2. Assess Your Occupation’s Eligibility:

    • Translation: Professional translators may find opportunities, especially if they possess niche language skills in demand.

    • Administration: Administrative roles are less frequently sponsored due to the availability of local talent. However, specialised administrative positions requiring unique skills or experience might be exceptions.

    3. Job Search Strategies:

    • Target Employers Open to Sponsorship:

      • Job Portals: Utilise platforms like 482jobs.com (our website)., SEEK and Indeed to filter roles explicitly mentioning 482 visa sponsorship.

      • Company Research: Identify companies with a history of sponsoring international employees. Being an approved sponsor simplifies the process for both parties.

    • Networking:

      • Professional Associations: Join industry-specific groups related to translation and administration.

      • Events: Attend seminars, workshops, and conferences to connect with potential employers.

      • Online Platforms: Leverage LinkedIn to network with professionals and recruiters in your fields of interest.

    4. Enhance Your Profile:

    • Resume and Cover Letter: Tailor these documents to highlight your relevant experience, skills, and the value you can bring to Australian employers. See some of the guides we have written here: https://482jobs.com/guides/career-advice/cv-and-resume/

    • Professional Development: Consider short courses or certifications that align with Australian industry standards, making you a more attractive candidate.

    5. Approach Potential Employers:

    • Direct Applications: Apply to positions that match your skill set and indicate your openness to sponsorship.

    • Cold Outreach: Even if a company isn’t advertising vacancies, a well-crafted expression of interest can open doors.

    • Recruitment Agencies: Partner with agencies familiar with the sponsorship process and your industry.

    6. Be Transparent About Sponsorship:

    • Early Communication: Inform potential employers of your current visa status and your interest in securing sponsorship.

    • Simplify the Process: Demonstrate your understanding of the sponsorship procedure to alleviate potential concerns employers might have.

    This list could no doubt go on, but I hope this helps. What have you tried yourself thus far?

    Hi Mohammed, Welcome to our community. Thank you for your post.;

    I Australia is currently experiencing a demand for skilled electrical technicians, particularly in the oil and gas sector. This demand presents a promising opportunity for professionals like yourself to migrate through employer-sponsored visa pathways.

    Employer-Sponsored Visa Options:

    1. Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482):

      • Overview: Allows Australian employers to sponsor skilled workers for positions they cannot fill locally.
      • Streams:
        • Short-Term Stream: This stream is for occupations on the Short-Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) and allows stays of up to two years.
        • Medium-Term Stream: For occupations on the Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL); permits stays of up to four years and offers a pathway to permanent residency.
      • Eligibility:
        • Your occupation must be on the relevant occupation list.
        • You must have at least two years of relevant work experience.
        • A positive skills assessment may be required.
      • Process:
        • Secure a job offer from an Australian employer willing to sponsor you.
        • The employer submits a nomination application.
        • Upon nomination approval, you apply for the TSS visa.
    2. Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa (Subclass 186):

      • Overview: A permanent residency visa for skilled workers nominated by an Australian employer.
      • Streams:
        • Direct Entry Stream: For individuals who have never, or only briefly, worked in Australia.
        • Temporary Residence Transition Stream: For TSS visa holders who have worked for their employer for at least three years in the nominated occupation.
      • Eligibility:
        • A positive skills assessment in your occupation.
        • At least three years of relevant work experience.
        • Meet the English language proficiency requirements.
      • Process:
        • Obtain a nomination from an Australian employer.
        • Apply for the ENS visa under the appropriate stream.

    Steps to Pursue Employer Sponsorship:

    1. Skills Assessment:

      • Obtain a positive skills assessment through Trades Recognition Australia (TRA), the designated authority for assessing electrical occupations.
    2. Job Search:

      • Research Australian companies in the oil and gas sector seeking electrical technicians.
      • Utilise job portals such as our own at https://482jobs.com , company career pages, and professional networks to find potential employers.
    3. Application Process:

      • Prepare a comprehensive resume highlighting your experience and certifications.
      • Apply directly to job openings or contact recruitment agencies specialising in your field.
      • Clearly express your interest in employer sponsorship during the application process.
    4. Engage with Employers:

      • Once an employer expresses interest, discuss the possibility of sponsorship under the TSS or ENS visa schemes.

    Additional Considerations:

    • Licensing: Ensure your electrical licence is recognised in Australia. You may need to undertake additional training or assessments to meet Australian standards.

    • English Proficiency: Demonstrate proficiency in English through tests such as IELTS or TOEFL, as required for visa applications.

    • Stay Informed: Regularly check the Australian Government’s Department of Home Affairs website for updates on visa requirements and occupation lists.

    I appreciate that is a lot of information, however, please feel free to ask any clarifying questions and I will look to help where I can

    Best regards,

    February 4, 2025 at 5:20 pm in reply to: Fully funded undergrad and high school scholarships

    Welcome, Tricia; well, done on the acceptance at ECU – that’s a good start. 😊

    On the scholarships. I think at this stage in the process you might struggle.

    The Australian government offers Awards sponsorships, though it appears to be focused on providing opportunities for people from “developing countries.”

    I’m also afraid that fully funded scholarships at the high school level are even less common, only targeting specific groups, for example, scholarships to Indigenous students in financial need to attend partner boarding schools or scholarships to high-potential girls facing disadvantage.

    Have you had a discussion with ECU to see if any scholarships might be available as part of your invitation?

    All the best

    Hiya Tricia and welcome. Unsure if you have checked out our job boards at https://482jobs.com as we specialise in sponsored job roles. We have a few jobs listed in our technology category.

    https://482jobs.com/job-category/information-communications-technology/

    Can you share a little more about your approach thus far, have you also checked the likes of seek.com.au (Australia’s largest job boards) or Indeed.com.au – Although the latter do list both sponsored and non-sponsored roles, They are also worth a look (search for your job title together with the term sponsorship) to see if you get any suitable hits.,

    Also, regarding your EOI’s please review this exchange between myself and @tommy to ensure the correct process has been followed as its sometimes not as straight forward as you’d think
