Hi Everyone - I have recently made the move from Dublin to Sydney and am looking for a role as a Business Analyst.

I have nearly 4 years experience (Technical BA & PMO BA) working on data transformation projects however I am not getting much luck yet on any applications I have submitted. I am on a Work and Holiday visa and would need sponsorship so assuming this is the issue - would anybody have any advice on how to approach? Or any contacts?

Many thanks - Lorcan

Hi Lorcan,

I recognize the pain! Have been applying for 2 months now in the same field (just moved from Amsterdam myself!) and have been having a pretty bad time in the job market so far...

Many recruiters are also letting me know things should pick up a little bit in January - February, as budgets become looser and there is more space for hiring...

The work & holiday visa won't help, you could consider looking into the skill shortage visa, and see if you could squeeze yourself into a job / role list.

Let me know if you'd like to connect and share experiences!
