    Rakesh – Get your qualifications assessed by Engineers Australia. that will carry more weight than the skills solutions assessment. Start off by doing anything. Work as a volunteer if you have to, Go to a website called Volunteers Australia. Go bush to a remote area. You need to demonstrate you really want to work in Austral;ia and are prepared to do anything. Go back to the people who have rejected you and ask if they can help you by allowing you to work in a lesser level job, or for nothing. Have a look at you CV and have a answer to explain how your experience is applicable to Australian construction. Learn all about Australian workplace safety by doing the general construction safety induction (blue card) at a TAFE. Read the worsafe Queensland site from end to end. Get a job as a builders laborer (last resort).
