Choose a different time to start looking would be the best advice. 3 years ago 
or in 18 months time would be good.  If I was you I would pack my bags and 
head off for somewhere hot and sunny.  Bali is cheap at the moment, and a 
good place to stop on the way to Australia.  Oz still has a good IT market as 
they have not just introduced ir35 and forced all work to be outsourced 
overseas.  A short work permit should not be a problem either.

Here you would probably be best trying to get in on one of the graduate 
recruitment programs, but http://www.jobserve.com/ might have something 
specialised come up - cybernetics might be a good grounding for rt control 
systems and simulators.  Jobserve also has jobs in oz :-)
