Hi Helix, I unsure how this would work in the hard sciences such as Physics, but in softer sciences such as archaeology (my area), the path forward to employment is largely via further post-graduate study via Masters or Doctorate. This should get you the teaching staff interest you need because you attract research funds for your dept/faculty and you can become a useful resource to them as research assistant etc on their projects. It also offers you opportunity for joint publication which I'd imagine is just as important for finding employment in physics as any other branch of academia. No quick fix I'm afraid, and the only payment is if you can score yourself a australian post-grad research scholarship.

cheers,
