    I know this may have been asked dozens of times before, but I'm really just clueless about the process.

    I currently do have an IT job in Ireland which is good experience. However because it's a small company, the pay isn't great and as such I can't afford to leave the family home.

    So I am considering moving abroad.

    The company I'm with is growing, so I am needed. So I would likely have my contract renewed in February for another year.

    I was thinking I could stick to the job for another year, save up money and during that time apply for work abroad. As I'm always told that it's easier to find a job when you do currently have one.

    I work as website admin and I'm an amateur website developer with my own responsive-design site.

    I have a degree in computer science and a certificate in web development.

    What skills and experience, would best be needed for applying for a similar job in Australia? And what would be the best process in going about doing so?

    Start with www.seek.com.au to look for whats out there.

    If there is lots out there, it doesn't mean it's easy to get a job here. Some companies are reluctant to hire people on a WHV with the 6 month employment restriction. It's a case of selling yourself to everyone and anyone, even outside of your chosen field of work. Getting anything takes the initial pressure off
