Hi,
Australia and Singapore are one of the few countries today which offers good job prospects.
However please remember for a fresher it is very difficult to get jobs in these countries.
Moreover getting jobs abroad is very competitive as you need to compete with the natives of that country first and then with remaining international candidates.
In order to get job abroad, you need to first of all find out the job opening in the area of your interest, and the best source for this are newspaper and various job portals like naukri.com and naukrigulf.com.
Both of these medium provides information about vacant job position and eligibility criteria for a particular job.
If your qualification and work experience matches the eligibility criteria, then you may apply for the job.
If you are selected then the company will issue a offer/appointment letter and sponsorship letter, and on the basis of this you can apply for VISA.
So, as per your query, I would suggest you to upload your CV on various job portals by this you will receive notifications regarding various job openings as per your profile, plus you should also read news papers regularly so that you may not miss on any current job opening.
