    I dont know this security clearance thingy pero nitong current employer ko I was given a police clearance check detailing my last home address for the past 10 months ... DETAILED like this from this month to this month and year in this address .. or from this day to this day of the year in this country .... and a signed waiver that I give consent to the security agency to search or to obtain any information regarding my travels

    im guessing its the same thing ......

    http://www.asio.gov.au/Careers/Overview/Information-for-ASIO-candidates/Eligibility-and-Security-Clearances.html

    Eligibility and Security Clearances
    There are two eligibility requirements to hold a security clearance:

    Australian citizenship (you must be able to provide evidence); and
    a background which can be reliably verified.
    Candidates must be assessed as suitable to obtain and retain a Positive Vetting (PV) security clearance.

    The critical components of a PV are:

    financial checks;
    referee interviews;
    psychological assessment;
    other checks; and
    an interview.

    The PV clearance process is intrusive and lengthy and you must be prepared for this. Your consent is required before vetting activity is undertaken.

    You must be open and honest in the information you provide –failure to do so may impact adversely on your suitability to hold a security clearance. ASIO treats your information with respect and confidentiality; however, if you feel uncomfortable about providing detailed personal information you should consider whether ASIO is the right employer for you.

    malaki swelduhan ng cobol dito sa Pinas. nagsisi nga ako dati bakit hindi ako nag cobol when i had the opportunity. some of my colleagues na cobol expert are earning big time. you can 6digits when you are cobol expert.

    yes mataas sya now sa pinas kasi madami demand now..

    pero minsan nambabarat din sila kapag alam nilang madaming supply.. but generally mataas talaga bigayan ng mainframe sa pinas pwera lang sa accenture kapag junior days mo pa lolz..

    sa AU naman, yes mataas din ang mainframe pero as of now, medyo konti ang demand, paisa-isa lang at kadalasan by referral pa.. sana mag mass hiring dahil sa isang malaking project or data/system migration.. :-)

    hi @pmzinoz! naku, parang coke pa rin po job-hunting ko - ZERO! waaah! may mga COBOL jobs naman ang kaso hindi lang basta COBOL hanap nila, yung iba ang gusto may HOGAN, ACUCobol, etc na experience which is wala ako unfortunately :(

    Magttry na rin po ako magpasa as entry-level sa .net, java, web development at kahit dba. kelangan lang maka-tyempo ng company na willing mag-train ng mga kagaya ko.

    I'm also a mainframe/cobol developer and am planning to migrate to Australia. Kumusta po demand sa mainframe jobs ngayon jan? Sa mga nabasa ko parang mahirap humanap ng work pag nasa linya ka ng mainframe. Ganon pa rin ba ngayon?

    @eyakcire21 Im a MF/cobol developer. Very in demand ang position na eto dahil sa specific requirement.

    as you may already know, normally those who still use MF/cobol in Australia are either financial institutions or Govt Departments...

    you get to have access to sensitive data therefore 90% of jobs required IT applicants to be AU Citizen and have Security Clearance.

    Pay rate ranges from $90 - $130 per hour.
