I saw a photo from my cousin’s wedding this week and I couldn’t help but picture my daughter and me amongst everyone there.

Not just at the wedding itself, but in all the ordinary family life around it. The catching up. The silly conversations. The being there without needing a reason.

I think that is one of the harder parts of migration sometimes.

You can be very happy with the life you have built, and still feel the distance when something small reminds you onf everything happening elsewhere.

And I know a lot of you who follow me carry that too.

So I’m curious — what is the small thing that makes you feel the distance from home most?

Keywords: migrant life Australia, living away from family, migration story, homesickness, life as a migrant, family overseas, belonging in Australia

What helps you keep a connection to home?

I see this all the time.

They explain themselves through what they haven’t done.

“I haven’t used that system.”
“I haven’t worked in that exact environment.”
“I don’t have experience with that.”

And sometimes I’m sitting there thinking… you have 10+ years of experience. Look at everything you HAVE done.

I had this with an engineering client recently.

Exceptionally experienced. Huge projects. Strong technical background.

But every time we talked about a slightly different requirement, he went straight to:

“I haven’t done that before.”

And I had to keep pulling him back to:
What HAVE you done that proves you could do it?

Because that is what employers need to hear.

If they ask about SAP and you’ve used Oracle, Dynamics and other ERP systems, don’t lead with:

❌ “I haven’t used SAP.”
Lead with:
✅ “I’ve worked across multiple ERP systems, so I’m very comfortable learning new platforms and would be able to pick up SAP quickly.”

Same experience.

Completely different impression.

And this is where confidence in interviews is not about pretending you know everything.

It is about being able to explain your experience in a way that shows:
what you’ve done → what that proves → what you can do next.

I see so many skilled migrants accidentally undersell themselves because they focus first on the gap.

Start with the evidence instead.

Final call for tomorrow night 👀

I probably won’t run this workshop again.

I’ll be honest, it hasn’t been as popular as I thought it would be 😂

Which is unfortunate because it's what most of you NEED.

But what you need does not always sound as exciting as what you want 🤣

So I’ll probably keep this kind of work inside my private strategy sessions and larger programs from now on.

BUT…

If you want that proper “OH. NOW I GET IT.” moment with your Australian career…

If you want to stop guessing, stop changing random things, stop wondering whether it’s your resume, local experience, communication, target jobs or something else…

and finally feel like you know what the hell you’re doing next…

You probably don’t need another resume tip.

Or another post telling you to network.

Or another video explaining Australian experience.

The harder question is:

What does any of that mean for YOUR career?

Should you apply at the same level you worked at overseas?

One level lower?

Is the problem actually your resume?

Do you genuinely need Australian experience?

Is there a skill you need to build?

Or are you already qualified for the jobs you want and simply not showing the right evidence?

You can consume career advice every day and still feel completely stuck because none of it can answer those questions without looking at your experience and your target jobs together.

That is exactly what we are doing in Make Your Experience Count in Australia this Thursday.

Bring your resume and 2–3 jobs you genuinely want.

We are going to stop talking about what migrants “should” do in general and start working out:

What should YOU do next?

This can be incredibly frustrating.

You look at someone who got the job and think:

“But I have more experience than them.”

And you might.

But employers are rarely sitting there asking:

“Who has worked the longest?”

They are trying to answer:

“Who looks most able to do THIS job?”

That is a very different question.

Someone with five years of experience can sometimes make a stronger case than someone with fifteen because their application makes the match obvious.

The employer can quickly see:

what they have done,
how it relates to this role,
what evidence they have,
and why this particular job makes sense for them.

Meanwhile, a migrant professional can have a genuinely impressive career overseas, but if the employer has to work too hard to understand how it connects to the job in front of them, those extra years do not automatically help.

That does not mean your experience is worth less.

It means relevant experience needs to be easy to see.

And this is one of the things we’ll work on in Make Your Experience Count in Australia this Thursday.

Bring real jobs you actually want and we’ll look at how your experience matches them, what employers need to understand about you, and where you should focus your energy.

I’ve been working on something exciting behind the scenes: the Australian Career Passport.

It’s a career development framework I already use in my private work with migrant professionals, and I’m now delivering it as a fully funded Australian Government pilot.

At the heart of the program are three simple questions:

📢What do I already have?
Experience, skills, strengths and achievements.

📢What do I want?
Clearer career direction and realistic options.

📢What do I need?

A better understanding of what employers are looking for and the next steps to get there.

The program uses a blended learning approach with guided pre-work, an interactive workshop and follow-up implementation support — so people don’t just learn something and leave, they have time to apply it.

There are strict eligibility requirements, but if you’re in Sydney North or West and connected with an employment service provider or multicultural organisation, send me a DM and I can let you know whether you may be eligible and how to be referred.

The Australian Career Passport is fully funded by the Australian Government through the Local Jobs Program and designed and developed by Natalie | Certified Career Practitioner + Communication Coach

If I moved to another country tomorrow and struggled to find work, nobody would assume I had suddenly forgotten how to do my job.

They would probably say:

“You’re new there. You don’t know how their job market works yet.”

And yet migrant professionals in Australia are incredibly hard on themselves when the job search does not work quickly.

You can arrive with years of experience, a strong career behind you and complete confidence in your professional ability.

Then the applications start.

The rejections start.

You see job titles that do not quite match the titles you had overseas.

You are not sure what level to apply for.

You hear completely different advice from different people.

And eventually the question changes from:

“How do I continue my career here?”

to:

“Maybe I’m just not good enough anymore.”

That is the part I want to interrupt.

Because learning how to navigate a new job market is not the same thing as rebuilding your professional ability from scratch.

You already know how to do your job.

You may just need help understanding how that career fits into Australia.

That is exactly why I created Make Your Experience Count in Australia.

Bring 2–3 jobs you genuinely want and we will work through your experience against the Australian market together.

Not generic advice.

Not “just keep applying.”

Not automatically telling you to start at the bottom.

The goal is for you to leave with a much clearer answer to:

Where do I actually fit here?

If you’re applying for jobs in Australia but still not sure what employers actually want from you, this is a really useful exercise.

Before you apply, stop and ask:

What problem are they hiring someone to solve?
What requirements keep appearing?
What do I already have?
What am I not showing clearly enough?
What is genuinely missing?

This is where a job search starts becoming a strategy instead of just more applications.

And if you struggle to work this out on your own, that’s exactly what we’ll do in my Make Your Experience Count in Australia workshop.

Bring 2–3 real jobs you want, and for $49 we’ll work through what Australian employers are asking for, how your overseas or local experience fits, where your real gaps are, and what you should focus on next.

“I applied for 100 jobs last week.”

I hear this from migrant professionals all the time.

And my first question is usually:

What jobs?

Because if those 100 applications include admin, customer service, HR, project roles, analyst jobs, manager jobs and a few “anything will do” applications…

you are not really testing one clear job search.

And every rejection still feels personal.

That is the part I worry about.

You apply for jobs that are too junior, too senior, outside your experience, or simply not a strong match.

Then after weeks of silence, you start thinking:

Maybe my overseas experience isn’t good enough.
Maybe Australian employers don’t want me.
Maybe I need to start again from the bottom.

But sometimes the problem is not your experience.

It is that too many of the jobs were never the right target in the first place.

I would much rather see fewer applications where we can clearly say:

Yes, this matches your experience.
Yes, this level makes sense.
Yes, you can show evidence that you can do this work.

Then, if you are still not getting interviews, we have something useful to fix.

That is a big part of what we’ll work on in Make Your Experience Count in Australia.

We’ll look at real jobs you want and work out what level makes sense, what experience already matches, what employers need to see, and what you genuinely need to build.
