About This Podcast

OBP Australia is a service for overseas-born professionals either looking for their first job in Australia or trying to advance their career once they’ve become established. Each episode I’ll be talking to an ex-OBP Australia client who’s been successful in finding employment in Australia. Guests share their journey and offer advice on finding professional work in Australia. We’ll get to hear about their journey … and what advice they have for job seekers.
