Engineers. What did you do to find work here in Australia?

marcdon777marcdon777 MELBOURNE CBDPosts: 10Member
Fellow Engineers!
Suggestions will be appreciated. Any one who experienced the same?

1. I came here two weeks ago with PR skilled migrant electrical engineer. With Engineers Australia accreditation.
2. Wala pa akong aussie experience but I have 8 years saudi and 3 years philippines exp. What field I can I apply to? It has been 6 weeks since I started applying online. No calls or replies at all.
3. What course can I study if I choose to advance my knowledge. Ang hirap yata makahanap ng work sa field natin without being educated here.
4. Is there an engineering body that can credit or assess us to be certified engineers? Engineers australia assessed us to be migrants not as certified ones. Or is it?

Thanks all!

    Pwede kang mag apply as a professional member ng Engineers Australia kaya lang medyo mahal nga lang

    Apply lang ng apply at samahan mo ng dasal. Para hindi ka din mainep hanap ka muna ng odd jobs. Madami opportunities ngayon ang EE dahil boom ang renewables ngayon

    I'm not yet in OZ but trying to find ways on how to prepare my self on finding jobs. I found this during my research.. https://www.obpaustralia.com.au/
    Although I have not tried it yet, it seems that work placement is a good step in acquiring "local experience" and eventually land a job..
