留学生在澳洲完成学业后，如何寻找合适的工作就是即将要面对的问题，而薪水是大多数学生着重考虑的。
澳洲招聘网站SEEK的最新数据显示，求职者在寻找新工作时，最先考虑的也同样是薪水问题。SEEK根据该网站上的平均广告薪资，列出了各行业薪水最高的岗位。
据悉，SEEK的《吸引力法则》（Laws of Attraction）报告显示，有16%的求职者根据薪资选择工作，13%依据的是工作与生活平衡关系，12%根据就业发展机会。此外，7%求职者会考虑企业文化，7%考虑管理质量，4%考虑同事关系，4%考虑公司声誉。
寻找高薪工作的求职者需了解，薪资水平主要由劳动力供求情况决定。因此，求职者可通过在劳动力供应不足的冷门行业就业、或精进技能以确保自己属于高需求员工而获得高薪。
