@trender03 We support some big AU websites
Job market is tight, marami desktop support/all around IT jobs and medyo hardcore yung sysadmin jobs. Applied for over 200+ jobs for 2 months (across SEEK, LinkedIn and Indeed) before I got my current job.
@michaelAU Employment sponsorship is rare in AU unless you're very good or one of a kind (think Google/FB tier employee), unlike SG or the US. AU strongly prefers people with local experience and there's a lot of very good local people applying for jobs.

@LovellaEllen
That is possible. Will just depend on how you sell your profile. The most important question I would say from most employers would be your rights to work, which in your case is not a problem since you're PR.
