Frequently Asked Questions

The most effective approach combines multiple strategies: register on Seek and LinkedIn (Australia's top job platforms), connect with Australian-based recruiters in your industry, build your LinkedIn profile and actively engage with Australian professionals, and research companies you'd like to work for. Many roles are filled through referrals before they are advertised, so networking is critical. F4MG also connects skilled migrants directly with employers actively seeking overseas talent.
Australian resumes are typically 2–3 pages long and do not include a photo, date of birth, or marital status. They start with a professional summary, followed by work experience in reverse chronological order (with bullet points focused on achievements rather than duties), education, and skills. References are listed as "available upon request." Australian employers value achievement-focused resumes that quantify impact where possible.
ANZSCO (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations) is the official system that classifies every occupation with a unique 6-digit code. Your ANZSCO code determines which occupation lists you appear on (and therefore which visas you qualify for), which assessing body evaluates your qualifications, and how many migration points you receive. Identifying the correct ANZSCO code is one of the most important steps in any skilled migration journey, and getting it wrong can lead to failed assessments or missed visa opportunities.
LinkedIn is extremely important in the Australian job market. Recruiters and hiring managers actively use LinkedIn to search for and contact candidates, particularly for professional, technical, and management roles. A strong LinkedIn profile with a professional photo, a compelling headline, detailed work history, and recommendations can result in inbound job opportunities without you even applying. Many mid-to-senior roles in Australia are filled directly through LinkedIn before they are ever advertised publicly.
Salaries in Australia vary significantly by occupation, industry, experience level, and location. As a general guide: nurses earn $70,000–$95,000, software engineers $90,000–$150,000, civil engineers $85,000–$130,000, and electricians $75,000–$110,000. Sydney and Melbourne tend to pay higher than regional areas. Note that salaries in job ads are usually quoted as "base salary" and do not include the mandatory 11% superannuation contribution your employer pays on top.
Yes. Salary negotiation is common and expected in Australia, particularly for professional and technical roles. The best time to negotiate is when you receive a verbal offer. Research market rates beforehand using tools like Seek Salary Insights or LinkedIn Salary. It is acceptable to ask for 24–48 hours to consider an offer. Most employers will not withdraw an offer if you negotiate professionally and reasonably.
