Advice: finding a job in Australia

20 years ago
Hi,
I'm seriously intentioned to move to Australia, and wour really hear from someone that has already don it.
I'm 28 years old, graduated in management/industrial engineering. I live in Milan, Italy.
Since I don't have a contract, I basically have 2 ideas:
1) try to find a stage from here (Italy) and, once in Australia, start looking for a sponsorship for a qualified job and thus, apply for a working visa
2) apply for a holiday working visa, find a temporary job in Oz and in the meanwhile look for a sponsorship.

Is there anyone that could tell me what he/she thinks of that? Is it feasible that way, or companies tend not to spend money to sponsor a foreign person? I'd like to know if I'd have any chance of finding a qualified job once there, because from here it's quite difficult!

Thank you for any help,
Lucas
