    The SOL which Australia releases each year should reflect which industries are thriving in the country.

    ...so more or less, that would be jobs pertaining to engineering, medicine, mining...dami pa pong iba pa tulad ng I.T. at accounting pero yang tatlo yung kailangang kailangan nila.

    Yes, mining/heavy industry is one of the most lucrative industries in Au. A diesel mechanic in one of the mining companies here in NW Qld earns $120K per year. Another mechanic in another mining co earns $95K per year.

    @iammaxwell1989 very self reliant ang Australia in terms of energy kaya marami rami silang mga companies diyan. In terms of getting a visa under that sector, it really depends on the undergrad course you finished and the work experience you have so far... :) Ano po ba course at trabaho nila

    @iammaxwell1989 I just did a very quick search in seek.com and you can see there are over 3,000 job postings for your occupation hehe...so maraming openings. For now, I guess you should just start preparing for the necessary docs like IELTS and skills assessment from Engineers Australia. :)

    @lock_code2004, yes EA assessment is not required for Visa 476. I'm researching anyway in preparation for PR application. ;p
