Hi. I am new in Sydney and looking for voluntary or temporary assignments in HR to gain Australian local experience. I am an MBA in HR with 4 years experience as HR Officer handling various Human Resource functions in India and the UAE. It would be of great help to me if I could get suggestions on how to go about with it.

Thanks

No other way of doing it other than contacting companies directly and seeing how you go. Things I'd suggest include:
- a phonecall followed by an email/letter is a reasonable way of doing it;
- just a plain email is not the best, too easy for a company to delete it;
- make sure each approach you personalise it, balancing out quality with quantity;
- make them aware of your commitment upfront (i.e. to volunteer);

Good luck.
