Hello, sharing my reflections on how I migrated to Australia with my family last year on a VISA 189 as a mechanical engineer.
Thank you for sharing your experience through your VLOG, keep posting more for everybody's reference!
Are you still doing sales until now? What are the other VISA Type you can suggest that doesn't need that much requirements sir? Any tips for anyone that's just starting to plan? Salamat po!
Hello @erwayne yes sales pa rin ang napuntahan kong job. HVAC pa rin ibang company lang. Same position ko din ito sa Pinas. Meron akong new post tungkol naman sa point system at ano pwedeng diskarte ngayong mataas na ang pts required. Search mo ako sa fb pwede tayo chika doon pero dito sa pinoyau ay napakarami din naman tumutulong at nasagot ng walang bayad gaya sa agent. Ito pala link sa new video ko:
Tambay ka lang sa Immi website ng Australia marami ka mababasa dun.
Other visa types na familiar sakin pwede mo explore is Visa 491 at Visa 482.

Hi everyone,
We are making the big move to Australia early next year. Me and hubby got a positive assessment as civil engineer from EA. Currently working as RTO in singapore. Since ung experience namin is mostly sa site supervision, question ko po is mahirap ba makahanap ng work as site/project engineer sa Australia especially for a lady? May requirements po ba before makawork sa construction site dun? May nabasa ako na required ang white card sa construction sector dun?
Thanks and Stay safe!

Medyo mahirap maka hanap ng work. Yes white card is mandatory mostly for construction jobs. Madali lang naman kumuha ng white card, 130aud 1day course. Pero kalimitan ng work need nila atleast may local experience. Tsambahan lang din. Pero pasa lang ng pasa makaka kuha din.

Good luck to your journey.
I think medyo ok ang outlook for civil eng sa Australia due to government projects in the pipeline for economic recovery efforts post covid. This is based sa reports ng EA with their discussions with their government.
Last year I got a couple of interviews via phone. Kaso nung nalaman na nandito ko sa pinas, sabi kontakin ko daw sila pagdating ko dun. Ewan lang. Pero sa design kasi ako, civil/structural.
All the best

@maderaka challenging ang environment ng site supervision dito unlike sa SG or Pinas. dito sa AU kung nasa site ka dapat hands-on at handang maging marumihan sa work. di rin porket engineer ka ay igagalang ka ng mga tao sa site, kailangan makontrol mo ang mga tao mo at maipakita na may skills/knowledge ka sa work para sundin.
