Having a clear objective, managing expectations, committing, and networking will go a long way when immigrating to Australia. Even more so when you are already in your 30s or 40s. In this episode of TIPS, Cesar Munoz shares some lessons from his own immigration.
If you are moving to Australia, you need to have a clear objective. Know and understand why you’re making this big decision. What are your priorities? Is it to finish at a prestigious university? To raise a family? To accelerate your career? Have clear priorities before officially moving.
Upon arriving, manage your expectations. It is important to have an open mind. Wherever you move, you will need to adapt to that country’s culture, religion, lifestyle, work ethics and so on. Withholding judgement and staying open leads to a happier transition.
If you’re planning to move to a foreign land, you have to really commit. Cesar Munoz suggests having No Plan B. Sticking to your goal and relinquishing your doubts will create a better mindset.
Finally, it is important to build a solid network. Diversify your friendships by befriending people of all nationalities. Make the most out of your new life by connecting with locals and cultures different from yours as well.
Good luck!
