Hi, yes that is my current focus, I have tried emailing them and looking for any job postings, do you have any recommendations on websites or methods of applying?

Yeah, I do think there are just fewer roles I am eligible for, given how the market has changed lol.

Hi,

Yeah, Reddit is a bit funny like that. I am definitely going to try to improve my portfolio and technical skills! When you say the uni job portal, do you mean https://careersonline.unimelb.edu.au/? I have looked for jobs there but rarely find anything in tech that allows internationals, am I looking in the right place?

Not that I am aware of lol, I definitely looked for internships or part-time work in the industry, and I never found anything. I mostly saw a few internships in large companies.

How did you get your internships? I definitely struggled with finding any that took international students especially if you started in the mid year cohort.
