@erwayne here is my opinion. These are just my observation, others may totally have a different experience. Depending on the year they came here, state, age and many other factors.
- are my job experiences enough and does job title really matter in Australia? Job experience highly matters. On the other hand, job titles matter during application and screening because we are being filtered by Hiring personnel. This is understandable. If you are in their shoes, will you look for someones CV if you don't see the keyword you are looking for?
- Do I need an Engineer Job Title to be on the list? Yes (refer to no. 1).
- or as long as I have the right skills on my resume? You have to make your CV fit the job you are applying for. I'm not saying to purge your CV but if you are saying you do have the skills and experience they are looking for, find a way for them to notice that.. probably a cover page? be creative... there are plenty of ways..
- I've read on this forum that Draftsman are in demand? This statement came probably from a non-draft/design person(Cause I'm also in EPC). Yes, in a way its in-demand but like in any other company in EPC industry, they prefer those who are experienced in their FIELD. But of course like in anything, this should not stop you from trying and applying.. If you are lucky enough you may the break that you need immediately.
As you know, time is changing Plus, as the new breed of migrants settles here(from all over the world), the country is being molded differently as it was before. So whatever "diskarte" that have worked before may no longer be as effective today or non effective at all or it could be the other way around for some "diskartes". With this light, plan very well and be prepare for anything but you also believe on your plans and pray for it.
All the best to your plans and goal. God bless!
@vencel2017 Thank you sooo much sir for answering all my questions! That really means a lot especially right now that I am thinking about my next career move and a bit confused with all the Aussie Rules and everything. You are totally correct on all your suggestions and opinions you mentioned.
Job Experiences, DO really matter in able to get that job, the QUESTION IS, How will I be able to get NOTICE? Plus the Challenge is, HOW WILL YOU GET AN EMPLOYER read your Resume and convince them to hire you wherein there are dozens and dozens of really talented people out there, who are really deserving and who are probably already in Australia. Then why would they need you anyway?
and that is so TRUE, Time keeps on changing and the way immigrants got there in Australia before would be different from the current situations we have.
Job Title, Course and Experiences should be the same, that's an SOP cause that is the usual case. Someone also told me here in the forum that I should take a look at the JOb Description for Mechanical Draftperson and I found out that it's almost the same. My job actually is a bit more complicated as I am under PIPING DESIGN Team, wherein we design different Pipe Systems for FPSO/Ships together with the Piping Arrangements, Drawings etc etc.
Anyhow,I've attached a Job Description for the Mechanical Draftsperson here.
Thank you so much sir, I appreciate your advice and your encouragements!It really means a lot! If I don't have any choice,I'll just probably go back in SIngapore or get other jobs in another country. Thank you so much, God Bless and Stay Safe!
