Any Aussies with advice on applying for jobs?

Hey guys! Hoping to talk to some fellow Artists who have gotten a job or are currently applying for jobs in Australia. I always knew it would be more difficult here having no real AAA gaming developers but I was hoping over the years there would be some growth. I am planning on doing some serious portfolio pieces in the next 2 months, and people always say you should create work aimed at the place your trying to get a job at, but pretty much all the places Iv'e seen in Aus are stylized mobile games and that's not what I'm into. People say there is an expanding job market but I just don't see it. Should I maybe just aim my portfolio more towards film or should I just look harder?

I'm in Melbourne, tho not searching for a Studio slot, freelancing is more my thing or was up until recently, now I'm in it just for fun and relaxation.

If you're degree'd? could try your luck OS where a much wider scope of oppotunities for potential employment exist, AAA or otherwise but typically brutally competitive too break into.
