Every year, thousands of people from foreign nations come to Australia in search of work opportunities. To make sure that the pedigree of the intake is of the utmost quality, the government of Australia works on a list which includes a number of occupations to which one should belong to for finding employment in the nation. This list also defines the skill set that the applicant must display in order to find a job in Australia. These skill sets are worked upon carefully to make sure sustenance for a long-term period rather than a short length.
