The right career choice is not just a matter of professional requirements to maintain a good professional life, it is working in a field that brings us a lot of satisfaction and comfort even outside of our professional worlds.
The 21st Century India has witnessed dramatic changes in job trends and occupations in just a span of 20 something years, IT sector jobs and working with MNCs, India today is seeing the rise of young and self-driven entrepreneurs. But when it comes to finding a suitable employment opportunity, while we may possess all the talent and potential, the scarce availability of jobs in our preferred sectors can leave us feeling undervalued.
The Growing Popularity of Australia among Indians
A study has shown that the average pay for an academic-oriented profession in India is typically one-sixth of what would be in other countries. Be it a teacher, engineer, doctor or an advocate, these professions are still underpaid in India. The recent trends have also seen Australia becoming a popular destination for Indians looking for education and career-related opportunities.
As we already know, Australia is renowned for its accepting culture across the globe. With flexible immigration policies, the country is always open to skilled workers who might contribute to the growth of its economy. The job prospects in the country have also been growing for the past few years. Not just that, Australia also has high standards of living with natural beauty and efficient healthcare and education sectors building an ecosystem of growth and wellbeing.
If you are looking for guidance, don’t worry because we have our desis covered. Here we have our top tips to advance your career today. And how we from DesiPedia can help our fellow Indians.
1. Assess Your Strengths and Weaknesses to Select the Right Course
One of the first steps to building a great career is knowing your interests, strengths and weaknesses very well. Once you step out into the international arena, you might realise that as an Indian, the only thing that is backing you is your skill and interest. So to make a career as an Indian, the first thing you need to do is understand what makes you stand out from the rest.
To understand your strengths and weaknesses well, one can go for aptitude tests, professional visits and internships that might help you figure out what interests you. Most youngsters select their courses and professions under family and peer pressures, this crowds one field and also becomes a barrier in the development of one’s decision-making skills. In this world of cutthroat competitions, it has become essential that we use our knowledge, skills and interests to build a career in our field of choice only. The Australian education system offers a wider range of courses and electives that one can pursue in comparison to the Indian system.
2. Work Hard and Upscale
While it is assumed that once you choose a profession, you are tied down to it forever. But that’s not true at all. It is never too late to work hard and relearn through courses, internships and communities. The main aim is to build a career and get that dream job, so one must never shy away from making a fresh start. Even if you plan to start your own business, know that it is never too late or too difficult to pursue your passion. If you are an Indian living abroad, then you can join the DesiPedia Family as a DesiPedia Partner or just a consumer and connect with other Indians living abroad to build your world of comfort in a foreign country.
3. Start-ups for the young Indian
As we had already mentioned earlier, India and young Indians are going through a very passionate wave of start-ups. Start-ups are becoming more and more prevalent because youngsters today wish to work for a cause that they feel very strongly about. And for what it’s worth Team DesiPedia is always up for helping driven people find their purpose and connect with like-minded people who will make one’s entrepreneurial journey easier.

- Education- This sector is one of the most flourishing and advancing sectors of the country and today Australia has one of the highest numbers of job opportunities in this sector.
- Healthcare- The Australian government also spends heavily on increasing the numbers of nurses and paramedics in certain specific fields.
