EDIT : I got mamy questions from readers of this article. I put the questions and the answers at the end of this article. If you have new questions let me know in the comments and Ill get to them as soon As I get a chance.LET’S DO IT !!!!!START HERE ➡️ ➡️ I guarantee, by the time you finish reading this article and apply what I say, you will 100% get your dream job extremely fast, not just in Australia but anywhere in the world.I came to Australia in 2005 as a student to do my Bsc at Monash University, Clayton VIC. I finished my degree in 2008 and in the same year I landed a Web Designer job at a reputable company in Richmond.Then I went to an even better job, then even better salary and along the way, I worked at Deakin University in Burwood as a Web Development Coordinator as well. Oh man I LOVED that job. 2 mins drive from my home, brand new $5000 upgraded Apple Macbook Pro for free, ability to work from home for few days a week, ability work at the Deakin modern headoffice in CBD, super high tech conference rooms you’ve never seem before, Just WOW!When you find the #DreamJob you will never regret a single day.Landing jobs were extremely easy for me. You might think I'm extremely smart and talented. NO! and NO!. I think Im just creative and brave. I don’t give a rats ass about what others think and I always jump and take risks without worrying about the consequences. Be like that and you’ll go places and remember life is too short to live small and be an average-bloke no one remembers.I got normal grades at school and even in Uni. My programming skills are below the average requirement Employers looking for. Seriously. I am a Front-end Developer (Website builder) and my jQuery and Angular skills (programming skills) are around 3/10. So I am not the most skilled and experienced person.I landed jobs because I followed a specific path and some secrets I figured out by myself. I did few things other candidates didn’t bother doing. I'm going to tell you all in this article.My friends had a really hard time landing jobs and I realised they have been doing everything wrong. I know a LOT of people happily spend thousands of dollars on course fees, spend years and years at universities and in the end, end up doing an odd job they are not proud of. Many people are stressed at work or in the wrong field because they don’t know how to land their #dreamjob. Job takes up all your life and it’s meant to make you feel happy, safe and motivated not the other way round. Everyone is promoting “Quit 9–5” but No! Find the right 9–5 and it’ll help you save a lot of money, buy a nice house, find the right partner and have more free time for yourself. It did for me. That’s the reason I decided to write this article.Don’t think going to the best universities or just coming to Australian alone will give you a bright future. There’s more to it. You have to work extremely hard on yourself, on your career and everyone around you and that will guarantee a bright future. I’m going to help you get the “Your career” part right. :)I’m going to tell you how to get a job in Australia the easy way, no bull.I’m a Sri Lankan. The whole process of getting a job is very different in here. This article is for all the International blokes and local blokes who are having a hard time landing a job. I wish someone told me these earlier in my career. Things would have been so much easier that way. But no one in the freaking world was able to put down some points together and give a sure fire way to land a job. Because no one wants to share their secrets.OK... Here you go…1) Change your name.Yes from today you will get yourself a name that’s easy to pronounce and remember.My actual name is Udara Uragoda. But I use Udi Ura when applying for jobs. I still apply for jobs with my original name, but you get better chances with an English name. If you are Ching Chong, go with something like Michael Chong. You get the idea right? Same with Indians, Bangladeshis, Vietnamese, Chinese etc. Change your name. Why? Because it's simply easy to remember and pronounce.EDIT: Some asked me if they have to change the name “legally”. No! Just a pet name. Everyone has one, so get one for yourself as well.2) Get your own domain name.Now, if your new name is Udi Ura, get http://UdiUra.com.au, if its Jay Singh, get http://JaySinghe.com.au. It's $12 per year, $24 for 2 years on Crazy Domains. Why? I’ll explain further down.3) Now setup a simple Website for yourself.If you don’t know how to, then get someone from FIVERR .com to setup a simple wordpress site for you. Wonder why you need a website? See the FAQs section at the end of the article but first finish reading this.Keep everything simple. Don’t follow the CV structure you followed when you were back in your country. Keep it really simple on the website as well. I’ll tell you more about the CV structure later.4) Do your CVDo not follow the CV structure you used back in your country. Australian CV structure is EXTREMELY different. Don’t ever put things like Bio data, Nationality, Height, Weight (lol), hair colour etc.Ok. This is important. Companies have CV filtering systems. They search for keywords in your CV and that’s how they drill down 10,000 applications to 5 applications. To tackle this, make sure to have good keywords in the body text of your CV and cover letter. If you are a web designer, include web site design, UX Design, UI Developer etc in the body of the CV when writing.5) Do a Cover LetterOk back to the list. Again keep it simple and very different to the cover letters back in your country. Don’t ever say “Dear Sir”. Australians don't use Sir. Say “Dear {first name}” example “Dear Michelle” instead.6) Search for Jobs on SEEKGo to SEEK - Australia's no. 1 jobs, employment, career and recruitment site and start looking for jobs. When you apply, make sure to save the job description into word documents if you're interested.Create folders for every month and copy and paste the job descriptions into word documents and save it in your folder. The reason is usually companies take down their job listing from Seek when they start sorting candidates.7) Applying for JOBS. Read Carefully!Ok. This is the most important part.Before applying, proofread everything. Give it to someone in FIVERR and proofread your CV and Cover Letter both. Then fix your Website and the LinkedIn profile as wellThink of it this way. If you don’t even spend some time to show that you really like to work in a particular company and you don’t even call them and ask their Human Resources Manager’s name or the person in charge of your role’s name, why would they give a shit about you?First things firstFirst, make sure the Job title is displayed in your CV and Cover letter as EXACTLY as the company’s job description. If the company is looking for a Front-end Web Developer, change your CV and Cover Letter header part to Front-end Web Developer. Don’t just leave it as Web Developer or Web Programmer.Everything in your Cover letter and CV should align with what the company is looking for. You are the one looking for the job, not the company. So give your CV and Cover Letter some thought before applying.The important thing is, you don’t have to apply for 100s of jobs. You only have to apply for 10–20 jobs, the right way and BOOM!Emailing the CVOnce CV and Cover Letter is ready, copy the cover letter heading and the body copy to your email, attach the CV and Cover letter and send it to the person. Send them in PDF format. Don’t ever send ugly word documents unless they specifically ask for it.Add your email signature as well with your new name, phone, email etc.Following upAfter a day or two, call them and ask them about the job you applied. Every company will provide you how they are going.8) InterviewLet’s say a company calls you for an interview. Here’s how you will attend the interviewBe PreparedYou are so close to getting the job. So don’t mess it up.First, research about the company. What they do, their website, staff, managers, directors, type of work they do and what your exact role is at the company.Search the company on Google and read their Articles, PR articles, Facebook, News everything you can find. Know 100% in and out of the company. This alone will increase your chances of landing the job by 100%.They will ask you questions to see if you actually did any research. Do it! It's very very very very important.Dress codeIf you are a male, wear a nice suit and a tieBe there at least 5 minutes before the interview. Don’t ever get late. Once I got 10 mins late and the HR manager asked me to leave after I arrive at their office. If you ever get late, call them and inform. But if you are late it’s bad first impression so you might as well drive back home.If you are a woman, get a nice office suite from a good clothing shop. Google office attire and follow them.My dream is to get this article to 100,000 upvotes. So go ahead and hit Upvote and Comment. I promise I’ll reply :)All the best! Let me know how you go.Frequently Asked QuestionsI recently moved here. I don’t have experience or references. What should I doI know. I’ve been there too. How can I get 2 years of freakin experience if you are not willing to give me a job right? Do this. Look for internships. Ask to work for free. Start with a small entry type junior role. Work for no money. Gain the experience of atleast 6 months this way. That experience you gain will be worth a Million . Doesn’t have to be from the same company. But it has to be in the same industry or similar role. Don’t do random jobs. Decide which role or industry you want to work in, you are passionate about and then go hunt. It’ll be tough. Extremely tough. You’ll feel like giving up after going for 15 interviews. But don’t. You are always just 1 interview away from achieving your dream job, settling down, buying that house, car and having a happy life with so much money and freedom. (That’s what I kep telling myself in the early years and it works and it’s true )I’m overseas right now. How do I get a Job in Australia from here?I am not very knowledgeable in the work visa field. Talk to a reputed Australian migration agent. Send me a Message and I have couple of good contacts. Important thing is don’t look for cheap lawyers and waste your money. Many readers sent me messages saying they lost thousands by scam migration agents. So be cautious.I’m in engineering, medical, teaching, gardening field. Is this occupation in demand in Australia?Best way to find is by looking at current jobs. Go to http://seek.com.au and enter your role. Enter a broader keyword instead of a narrow one. Example : instead of typing “water engineer” or “transport engineer” type “civil engineer”. No plurals. Just singular.Then select Sydney and search. Go through all the job roles and read them. Do the same with Melbourne. Spend a good few hours researching and understand what’s in demand. No ones going to help you with these. You have to do it your self and become knowledgeable in your space and understand the job market. Remember, you have to adjust to the jobs in the market not the otherway round. If the jobs in the market is not what you want you have to adjust. You can’t stop the WAVES but you can learn to SWIM.Why do I need a website?Think of it this way. When you apply for a job, the first thing the recruiter will do is Google you. When that happends you have to be present on the internet. The recruiter expects to see your LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Stackoverflow, Dribble, Youtube, Personal Website (aha, see), comments you have made on public websites, etc. When someone searches you, the entire first page of good should be filled with your Stuff. That’s called being active and present in 2019.IF THERE’S ANYTHING ELSE YOU LIKE ANSWERED PUT IT IN COMMENTS.

I saved $4.99/month by not buying an android app Cam-Scanner just to convert my documents into a pdf file.BackgroundRecently i received my offer letter from a tech company in which i got placed.They needed my signature on the offer letter . I took the printout of the letter and signed it and used Cam-Scanner to get the pictures of the signed offer letter and combine them to form a single pdf document.The main problem was the watermark of Cam-Scanner on every single page as i was using free version. Also, i couldn’t use any online pdf converter as document was confidential. Then came an idea to my mind.Being a programmer i can write my own pictures to pdf converter too =DSolutionI simply wrote a python script to load all the images from the directory, with some pre-processing and fpdf library available for python i combined the images to form a pdf document =D.Job is done !!PS: Already received the acknowledgement email from the company.Here is the python Script i wrote to get the job done.from os import listdir from fpdf import FPDF  path = "/home/alphaguy4/Downloads/Offer/" # get the path of images  imagelist = listdir(path) # get list of all images imagelist.sort()  pdf = FPDF('P','mm','A4') # create an A4-size pdf document   x = 0 y = 0 w = 210 h = 297  for image in imagelist:  pdf.add_page()  pdf.image(path+image,x,y,w,h)  pdf.output("Offer_Letter.pdf","F") 

I read nonfiction quite broadly, from psychology to travel to entrepreneurship and autobiographies. These are a few books that, after finishing, I remember actually changing my mind on something.That change could have been something subtle like “there’s nothing wrong with doing nothing,” or a more action-oriented commitment like “hey, maybe I should open up more than one bank account to diversify.”The difference between reading a book vs. a thin magazine piece on a similar topic is, as you probably know, worlds apart.We should definitely change our minds more often, but I believe that should come from reading longer form content. There’s often a lot of backstory, context, and information you need before you can actually grasp the words of wisdom the author is trying to convey. You have to work for a it a bit, and it’s usually worth the wait.One more thing: I read mostly on Kindle and highlight a lot of passages. So I’ve also provided links to my extensive Kindle notes for free in PDF format.1. Wherever You Go, There You AreAuthor Jon Zinn was one of the key figures that helped bridge meditation from the East to West. He speaks from a Western perspective — easy to understand and no fluff. If you’re going to start somewhere on your mindfulness journey, this is a good place.“If you are truly strong, there is little need to emphasize it to yourself or to others. Best to take another tack entirely and direct your attention where you fear most to look. You can do this by allowing yourself to feel, even to cry, to not have to have opinions about everything, to not appear invincible or unfeeling to others, but instead to be in touch with and appropriately open about your feelings.”Zinn dispels a lot of the New-Age ideas about “letting go” and paints a more realistic picture of what meditation is and isn’t. Beyond meditation, Zinn encourages us not to retreat to the Himalayan mountains, but rather, use these techniques to become better at what we are already doing in our day to day lives.One question in the book struck me as very important, and is one I’ve asked myself a few times this year. I think it’s a good one to write down and stare at for a couple of hours.“What is it on this planet that needs doing that I know something about, that probably won’t happen unless I take responsibility for it?”Download My Kindle Notes2. The Third Industrial Revolution: How Lateral Power Is Transforming Energy, the Economy, and the WorldThe first industrial revolution was the advent of steam engines, railroads, advances in machinery and factories. The second industrial revolution was spurred by cars, telephones, faster transportation networks and eventually the internet.The third industrial revolution goes something like this:Rather than have centralized power plants and grids (both fossil and renewable), we develop a decentralized power grid. Every house and every building would have their own solar panels/renewable energy; each building thus effectively turns into its own little power plant. Energy that isn’t used can be stored using hydrogen fuel cells and distributed/shared/sold on a decentralized grid to other people who want energy. It’s what the internet did for information, except for energy.Decentralized energy grids have already being developed in major cities across Europe, Germany leading the way. More than a million + people now participate in providing electricity — private residents and farmers own almost half of the installed capacity of renewable energy installations in Germany.Topics that are covered in the book which fascinated me:Why property rights are a recent social construct and how Enlightenment thinkers and later on were influenced/blinded by Newtonian physicsWhy productivity rates have been hovering at 14% since the 1970’s and why 85% of our economic productivity is wastedHow the laws of thermodynamics have been ignored by economists for decadesWhy globalization is declining and being replaced with a more sustainable “continentalization”“Millions of Americans want government to keep its hands out of the commercial arena, but are unwilling to mobilize sufficient public response to end the practice of private commercial interests buying elections and directing taxpayers’ money to their pet commercial projects and industry interests.”Download My Kindle Notes3. The Growth DelusionThe word “wealth” comes from the Old English word weal (well-being) and th(condition). So the word wealth literally means “the conditions of well being” or “the conditions of being happy and prosperous.” It says nothing about getting rich.Economists might well need a reminder of this as they tout the so-called necessity of yearly GDP growth. We know that endless growth means endless consumption, and endless consumption means eventual destruction. Of course, this is madness, but we’re stuck in a system that supports it and bombarded with (corporate) messages that tell us that growth is good.We often hear news of GDP growth slowing and the ensuing panic as if it’s the end of the world, but I hardly ever feel any difference in my life. Do you? For example, when China surpassed Japan’s GDP into the #2 spot after the US a few years ago, it felt like a big hit. Well, maybe for the egos of some Japanese economists and in particular their US allies who see everything as a potential threat (the US is a bit insecure like that). But there are still about 1001 reasons I’d rather live in Japan than China, and it has little to do with GDP, and more to do with healthcare, safety, corruption, and escalators that grind people up.The Growth Delusion outlines, very bluntly, what GDP misses, why we should scrap it, and what our alternatives are. The book is accesible, witty and get’s pretty deep without sounding too extreme.“The goal of disruptive technology companies, in the statistical sense, is to reduce GDP,” Page said when I found him lurking in one of the corridors. “To wipe out transaction costs, which are being measured, and to replace them with convenience, which is not being measured. So the economy is shrinking, but everyone is getting a better deal. Lots of what tech is doing is destroying what wasn’t needed. The end result is you’re going to have less of an economy, but higher welfare.”Download My Kindle Notes4. What I Learned Losing A Million DollarsJim Paul was raised in a small town in Northern Kentucky and eventually moved to become governor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. His story is full of success and failure. In the pinnacle of his trading career he actually lost $1.6 million, not just $1 million… in one trade.He paints a cautionary tale of hubris and getting caught up in our own thoughts, disregarding clear warning signs and what happens when we take things a bit too far. Originally I heard about him via the Tim Ferris podcast and read it a while back, but it’s taken on new meaning for me as I’ve delved into the world of crypto trading in the past year. While he was focusing on commodities, the lessons apply across any financial market and high stakes decision making.This is one of those books that can be either one of two things for people; an entertaining read, or a practical guide that potentially saves you from financial ruin. But hopefully it’s both.As Jim says, “When I was a kid, my father told me there are two kinds of people in the world: smart people and wise people. Smart people learn from their mistakes and wise people learn from somebody else’s mistakes.” We’d be smart to learn from his advice on this one.On why people lose money:People lose money in the markets either because of errors in their analysis or because of psychological factors that prevent the application of the analysis. Most of the losses are due to the latter. All analytical methods have some validity and make allowances for the times when they won’t work. But psychological factors can keep you in a losing position and also cause you to abandon one method for another when the first one produces a losing position.Download My Kindle Notes5. The Gift of Fear: And Other Survival Signals That Protect Us from ViolenceThe Gift of Fear was a real eye opener and I walked away feeling that it should be required reading at work and school — especially for anyone in America. The author, Gavin de Becker, is the founder of a security firm that assesses and handles violent threats to public figures, ranging from politicians, actors, and corporate execs. That said, the book is really for everyone.He asks, and answers, questions like, “What is the difference between worrying and real fear? How do we predict violence in our day to day lives? How can we keep our kids safe? For women, what are warning signs that a guy could turn violent? How do people use dark humor to voice concerns? Why do most people ignore their innate intuition of fear, often with fatal consequences?”There’s a lot of great tips on how to spot a liar and how to act before it’s too late — in situations where the consequences could be lethal. Also, some practical advice on how to avoid asshole boyfriends/crazy girlfriends. Painted with various real life stories I felt like this book was one I had to share and ended up buying it for several of my female friends after reading it.“Though leaving is the best response to violence, it is in trying to leave that most women get killed. This dispels a dangerous myth about spousal killings: that they happen in the heat of argument. In fact, the majority of husbands who kill their wives stalk them first, and far from the “crime of passion” that it’s so often called, killing a wife is usually a decision, not a loss of control. Those men who are the most violent are not at all carried away by fury. In fact, their heart rates actually drop and they become physiologically calmer as they become more violent..”Gavin’s writing is concise, eloquent, and full of counterintuitive yet practical advice to lower the likelihood that we find ourselves in violent situations. I was reading Michael J. Fox’s autobiography recently and noticed that he also use Becker’s firm as a security agency — seems like he’s been around for a while!“When people are telling the truth, they don’t feel doubted, so they don’t feel the need for additional support in the form of details. When people lie, however, even if what they say sounds credible to you, it doesn’t sound credible to them, so they keep talking.”Download My Kindle Notes6. Nomad Capitalist: How to Reclaim Your Freedom with Offshore Bank Accounts, Dual Citizenship, Foreign Companies, and Overseas InvestmentsThis was like an updated version of the 4-Hour Work Week, playing up on the ideas of geo-arbitrage, passive income, and how to remove yourself from the suffocating 9–5 job. I feel a lot of the self-help genre post-4 Hour Work Week is a re-hashing of Tim’s original, but there was certainly some new information here.While Tim focuses a lot on setting up companies and escaping your job, Andrew Henderson, the author of Nomad Capitalist, pretty much assumes you have some amount of money that you are willing to invest/spend and that you already have a relatively entrepreneurial lifestyle. The question is how to diversify your risk, protect your money and grow it outside of the current system.Andrew has several James Bond-esque stories of his own that gave me an occasional smirk, which he intertwines with best practices and ideas of what’s possible and more importantly what’s legal. That said he provides a lot information about what is achievable and tells you where to look, even if he doesn’t explicitly line it all out, which is more than enough to get started on your own journey.I’ve personally found that in order to achieve our goals often times all we need is permission and to know something is possible, even if we don’t get an instructional step-by-step guide on how to do it (nor should you trust the step by step guide of someone for financial advice as everyone’s situation is different).“How much will I pay in taxes tomorrow, this month, and this year if I keep doing what I am doing now?” “What changes would I like in my lifestyle that I will not enjoy if I do not make a change?” “How will my retirement plans be affected by continuing to do what I am doing now?” “What will happen in five years if I keep only one passport? Or, what might happen that I am not willing to risk?”“Go where you are treated best” is a point that he drives home several times. If the banking system in your country gives you ridiculous fees or if you can’t get a loan, why don’t you go to a different bank? If you feel that you’re paying too much in taxes, instead of complaining and doing nothing, why not move somewhere else? If you’re getting poor and expensive healthcare treatment in the US, why not go somewhere cheaper and better?Download My Kindle Notes7. Creating a World Without Poverty: Social Business and the Future of CapitalismThe big assumption that is drilled into our heads during school is that people need to work for other people. That when you exit school, you get a job. In the words of Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus,“Are people born to be working for somebody else or born to do things they want? Without knowing anything, probably you’ll say no, people are not born to work for somebody else. That’s not how it works. When human beings came to this planet, they were not sending out job applications.”The financial system (including loans and credit) is of course centered around this model, that is, wealth is concentrated. So, what’s the solution? I don’t know, but Muhammad Yunus has an idea that’s shown some real progress. He is famous for leading the microcredit movement in Bangladesh and now he’s trying to flip this whole model on his head. He says that instead of going through life expecting to get a job, rather, we should be job creators.He believes everyone is an entrepreneur. He says don’t ask for a job, make your own. This may seem like a bold statement, but it’s really not. It’s just contrarian. For most of history we’ve been entrepreneurs. As hunters and gatherer’s we had to solve problems everyday (and if you’re reading this today, you made it pretty far!). We had to figure out how to feed ourselves. We were bakers, farmers, cobblers, blacksmiths. We had street stalls and restaurants and shops and offered our services.Uganda ranks as the most entrepreneurial country in the world where 28% of people are entrepreneurs. That’s twice the number of the U.S. Surprised? Perhaps your definition of entrepreneurship needs to be expanded. If given a chance, we have the capacity for great creativity.This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t work for a company. Not at all. No individual could have been able to create the microprocessor or iPhone. We need lots of peoples and lots of companies to innovate. The greater point is that people have options — job taker or job creator — but the system we have in place only fosters and really supports one path.“If Warren Buffett had asked for my advice, I would have advised him to use part of his money to create a social business whose mission would be to provide affordable, high-quality health insurance to the 47 million Americans without it. If Buffett himself — a business genius with decades of experience in the insurance industry — were involved in designing this social business, anybody can easily guess the outcome: The company would achieve a resounding success, and Buffett would be remembered in the history of American health care.”Download My Kindle Notes HereThanks for reading!
