I spend hours on job searches on the internet but most say that to apply for that job i must have a valid work permit. how can i be able to get around my problem.

Answer 1

There is a labour shortage in WA.  try searching for a job there and contacting the employers to see how desperate they are to employ somebody site unseen.  When they sponsor you the also have the right to send you back if you are not suitable so many companies would be willing to take the risk.  

Alternatively you could try and employement agency in YOUR country that sources for overseas destinations.  There are currently agencies in South Africa, Philipennes, Singapore and the USA that do this kind of sourcing.  If you contact the Australian embassy they may be able to give you some names of agencies local to you.

Answer 2

first,get a better command of the english language---nobody wants a semi literate worker,especially in the precise area of money/taxes

Answer 3

That Girl has a point. Specifically, you need to talk to employers. If you can get someone to offer you  a job, then you've got a sponsor. All the big accounting firms have international offices. If you were able to get into one of these firms in this country, possibly you could express your interest in working overseas and they might be able to transfer you there..eventually. Do you want to work or do you want to travel? If you want to work, try to get in with any accounting firm, as soon as possible. If you want to travel, go to Australia and take a bunch of resume's with you. While your checking out the sites be sure to get in some face time with the businesses you think would hire you. It's possible you would just stay on if you got hired. Nothing says "I want the job!" like being there with your hand out. If prospects are good but things aren't moving as fast as you hoped find another job that will hold you over while you continue your search. People overstay their vacation here in the U.S. ALL THE TIME because they got a job and don't plan on going back maybe this strategy would work for you.
