Hello guys

I'm a civil engineer with 7+ years of experience in metro (bulk concrete infrastructure sector). I have recently migrated to Australia. I have been tirelessly looking for jobs, but no luck yet. I have modified my CV as per job requirements, written appropriate cover letter, but no response. I canmot find how i am faulting the application procedure. Can you guys suggest how to get a break-in into the australian workforce.
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.

Have a good one

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
