It's even hard to get a volunteer job in a professional field in Australia. Finishing with a distinction does not make it easier in getting a job . It's crazy. That place is crazy.

Australia is an open air prison.

@@FullSugarBrah You're an American yeah?

@@catherina2611 100% American, talking about prison when they have more incarcerated than any country in the world. Land of the free hahaha

So glad the vids help, thank you so much for your comment :)

Indeed..Melbourne is ugly and depressing...Do not give up...I have been living in Melbourne city for a while...What does not kill you make you stronger...you never loose.....you either win or learn...Keep going with your life plan..💪

This is great. I need to move to Australia and I feel that you can help me get a job. If you don't mind help out

Even British people have troubles dealing with leaving everything behind and starting over even though we speak the same language.

Good luck. If you are genuine and persistent you will suceed. Welcome.

I've never seen any "nepotism" ever. I've always found jobs easy in NSW and QLD

@@ultravioletzombie There are studies (ie using the same resume, but changing just the name) that show you are more likely to be called for an interview if you have an Anglo/Celtic or European name than from other cultures.

Nepotism is global and if you’re going to be employed by someone who is into it then you’ll probably end up hating that job. Try changing your perspective to being positively productive when you are employed. Too often I hear about lack of commitment.

@@Elkycreates This probably happens everywhere; India, China etc That said, I see Asians, Africans, Indians employed everywhere in Australia. Asians probably have an edge, as do Whites and Indians as they aren't as lazy and are more reliable

Lol seriously the jobless rate is at all time low but people like you will always complain 😂

Hi Carolyn, thank you so much for the lovely words and feedback about the channel, really appreciate it! And so exciting that you've decided to make the move. Migrating is indeed a challenge and can be pretty intimidating but it's definitely worth the try! especially to such a beautiful country like Australia. So congrats on taking this step. Wishing you all the best, thank you again, Martina.

I would love to hear about your experience. I am in the US. I am looking to relocate when I retire, I have not decided where. Your input and opinions will be valuable. I wish you the best transition ever! Remember you wanted this, the ups and downs will happen anywhere we live.

😊😊😊

@@zaynab2085 You may experience difficulty in securing permanent residency in Australia.

If you don’t mind my asking, what kind of visa were you able to acquire? I also want to move to AU but I am getting discourage to pursue because my qualifications need to be evaluated, they are asking for syllabus of all classes that I took, signatures of my clinicians where I did my clinic hours etc. I’ve been out of college for over a decade and most of my professors are retired so I don’t even know where to start, after that then have to look for a job that can sponsor me. I am in healthcare industry. Do they give visa to people who are close to retirement?if so which visa, just wondering.

U have a very nice nature mate

Is it a good thing to move to Australia now?

I thought exactly the same thing. We love the accents.

Tu é do Brasil, é??? E tu não gosta de morar aí? Don't you like living there?

I and my husband (Nigerians) ; are planning to relocate from Abu Dhabi UAE, asides from Melbourne , which other part of Australia can you suggest?

@@vickieogb1262 Sydney. Plenty of opportunities. I reckon it’s the best spot to start your life here

@@vickieogb1262 better go to the US especially since you're from Nigeria

@@vickieogb1262 you mentioned Melbourne, I think is best place to settle down, is the most multicultural and affordable ,especially in the outer suburbs and just to remind you it been voted the most liveable city in the world 7 times in a row!

Are you from Algeria ?

We were there recently for a visit ( as tourists) we fell in love with Sydney. It’s really interesting to know someone else’s perspective.. I was with someone when I went there and always wondered what do others feel as a resident vs a tourist. I romanticize living there. Good luck and best wishes to you. I hope you won’t be lonely for long.

At least you are there. Best wishes from Eu.

Thank you very much about the thought surrounding first property...

Buying a property in Sydney is very difficult especially with all the migrants coming in

Thank you so much Dominic for such lovely words :)

Hello G, Did you secure a job yet?

Hey my friend. I was born in Melbourne but lived in Europe. Darwin and QLD is generally in my view a throw back to the 1970s. Very unworldly people. The former Premier Joe Bielki Peterson left a big bad mark on the culture. Making them very suspicious and convict corrupt. I hope you have a good time there and in Australia, but many Aussies born here view it that way. But have a schooner for me bud ! Ciao. Marco

@@markmccormack9026 you're soooooo right. This is a village. I've spent almost four months here without finding a job yet.

@@teopolinasundayihuhua2770 no. I mean if you are a professional who wants to boost your career, I don't think Darwin is the right place to come.

The pros you are mentioning are very basic for central and northern European countries, so I guess you are mostly comparing it to the UK and the USA. But the weather is definitely better in Australia for most parts in comparison with Northern Europe except maybe for the brutally hot summers... What I'd miss the most is the diverse cultures we have in Europe and the possibility to travel any time abroad.

And well, if you have great family and/or political connections and if you don't quite care about paying off HECS for 10-15 years, of course Australia would be perfect...

How in the hell did you get a scholarship as a migrant?

@@isabelenau3934 maybe law was different back in the days.

hecs or help is not interest free, is charge base on indexation!

Moving from an English colony to England is nothing. You are over dramatizing.

Did you make the move?

@@kameshganeshan2894 not yet. Actually made a move to UK in the interim

Mahir, keep going mate! Don’t get scared. It will slowly get better! Go for it!

I’m so sorry you’re experiencing that difficulties. I’m about to make the move to Australia, what are your honest advice? I’m sorry for the loneliness you’re feeling. That’s why I always rethink about this migration. Hope it all goes well and smooth, don’t he discouraged, always remember why you’ve left your home country. Have a goal you want to accomplish and get busy about that.

You need to remember that is the government who wants you here, not the population in general,we are ok with things as they are

​@@sandrathompson1277 what ahahahaha

@mahirshah1757 sorry to hear about your frightening experience. Care to elaborate on that? I have always traveled to Australia in the past, and eventually, accepted a job and moved to Perth last May. I think having a busy job made me feel less lonely. I also love the diversity. I enjoy conversations with foreigners here. But the difficulty of moving around without a car has taken me aback, among other things. It's almost a written rule that if you live in Perth, you must own a car. There's public transport, but not as frequent, and not as extensive as we want them to be. On the language part - I speak and can comprehend English, but Aussie English is to the next level. My brain has to work really hard to comprehend. It gets easier over time. But I can only imagine the struggle for those who aren't fluent yet. My piece of advice - don't be shy to ask them to repeat what they said, and to do so slowly. Be sure you understand each other. It's a responsibility of both parties to make sure he/she is understood by the other party. Imagine if it's a life-and-death situation. Or a critical info at the workplace. So don't be shy and afraid to tell people that you hardly understand what they're saying. And of course, do your best to learn the Aussie English well. And don't try too hard to imitate the accent. It's not the most important. As of writing, I'm still thinking of going back to my country. Or maybe it's that phase that the video was talking about. Australia is certainly a great country - safe, beautiful, friendly and educated populate, efficient, systematic, typically fair, the list goes on. But just like any other country, Australia is not perfect, and we have to be reasonable and realistic of our expectations.

100%

@@SanctusPaulus-ic5gl My point is, what a weird question to ask. It's none of your business....

No you tell the company why your better value then anyone else 😏

This is an interesting point! I was born in Australia, now live in US and am a dual citizen. Both my children (born in US) were able to receive AU citizenship quite easily, just for the effort & cost of some forms and fees. Plus, if they reside in Australia for a total of 2 years (doesn't have to be continuously), they will be also able to pass on AU citizenship to their children in the same way! Pretty cool. With AU's treaty with NZ, they can now easily live and work in three countries.

Don’t wait move now to the best country in the world

Unless you’re coming here with bulk cash, I wouldn’t bother. The cost of housing (both renting and buying) is utterly insane and the cost of living rising massively. If you’ve got a decent paying job in the US, you will be financially worse off in Australia

Sorry to hear that. Family is definitely important

Can you take my annoying family with you? 🤔

true I visited Melbourne on my solo trip I loved it more than NZ.. I loved the vibe ....

Get a wife bro. It’s much easier when you have a loved one with you in different country. I was in same situation in US. Left after 5 years.

@@malkov0001 haha sure

Only ever seen one snake in 42 years I live in Perth WA…it’s a silly myth that there are killers on every corner !!!!!

i've lived in Australia my whole life (36 years), mostly near creeks, and i've never actually seen a snake in the wild. they're there don't get me wrong, but they want to avoid us as much as we want to avoid them!

I've seen hundreds of snakes in the bush but they never bother people Christoph. They don't want to waste their venom on a human. 99% of the people bitten are from people trying to catch them. Come and visit. Cheers.

@@johnwoodancientcelt8115If you’ve stayed there for bloody 46 years surely you like it 😂😂

👏👏👏Indeed...."Kia Ora"...I am a "Kiwi / Spaniard" as well...New Zealand is so COOL...you are 100% right in your point of view....I think the same as you...I live in Australia but I do not care about Australian citizenship...🤣🤣🤣...More than happy to move back to NZ...People in NZ are nice, and NZ is so beautiful...💛 !!!!

This is spot on. If you are not too much into scenery, tramping, fishing, and all those outdoor activities, then you will find NZ extremely boring. Money is not a guaranteee to make you and you family happy. "Being contented" and "grateful" everyday are a keys.

And how to break that loop, kamal, do you have any advice? :)

@@PiaRxxxx i am in the loop too. Migration brings some kind of emotional boost but it works only for a short period of time and once realized that it was an error, it starts again. I lived in 3 countries in Europe and now I am in the 4th round and I always feel like it is not what I wish and I just want to leave. Well, countries in Europe are pretty the same, especially since the EU started. Makes no sense to move around the EU countries. Next time I go to another continent. Far from here. Like Australia.

@@BabyOleg Thans for sharing your experience, Serafima! That sounds like a lot of moving. Have you ever considered that you're not running towards something but from something?

@@PiaRxxxx Hey, sorry for the late reply! I would say just have faith in your current country you live in. If no, just choose to emigrate to one country and promise yourself that you're not going to move to anywhere else. There's no a perfect place on earth. Don't look for perfection otherwise you'll end up lost; no community, no satisfaction, no nothing. Just believe in your current place and strive hard to make it a better place.

@@kamal-hassan Thank you very much for your encouraging advice, I appreciate it! :)

@@conphybentum1907why pls?

This thing called migration is like a addiction, it’s a loop as I recently recognized ’cause you’ll never settle in. You’re looking to another place, always looking something else. You’re not settled. Break that loop you’re in.
