But you need to be in Australia to renew it.<br /> If you get your citizenship here and apply for an OCI (Overseas citizen of India) visa, you will have the best of both the worlds :)</p> <p>Hope that helps. </p> http://indianlocal.com.au/Forum/topic/indians-planning-to-make-first-landing-in-sydney#post-88 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 00:57:03 +0000 adityadubey 88@http://indianlocal.com.au/Forum/ <p>I agree with KK. Don't listen to the media, both Sydney and Melbourne are fantastic places. Melbourne is beautiful and friendlier than Sydney. But Sydney has more job opportunities and higher pay scale (since the cost of living is higher).<br /> Being a S/W engg you shouldn't have a problem in either of the places, however I would suggest you get a job or at least line up a few interviews before you come. This would help you settle quicker and also help you to find a suburb closer to your work place.<br /> For job ops, check <a href="http://www.seek.com.au" rel="nofollow">http://www.seek.com.au</a><br /> In Australia, everything is managed online, so don't be surprised if people quote you websites for everything :)<br /> If you need more help let me know. I'll try and get more info. </p> http://indianlocal.com.au/Forum/topic/moving-from-sydney-to-india#post-87 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 00:43:47 +0000 adityadubey 87@http://indianlocal.com.au/Forum/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>I am in Sydney and moving back to India for good.

Make sure you talk smartly in interviews and avoid making up stuff in interviews as they can see through you. If there is something that you do not know it is better to admit it.<br /> Also another important thing is your resume. Keep it as simple as possible and well presented. If your resume is hard to read it is likely that it will not be read. </p> <p>All the best :) </p> http://indianlocal.com.au/Forum/topic/accounting-professionals#post-73 Mon, 21 Jun 2010 05:58:17 +0000 Usman36 73@http://indianlocal.com.au/Forum/ <p>I am a CA and CISA from Pakistan.
