@QueenB Sydney or Melbourne definitely for IT. Tag tuyot sa Brisbane. For every 10 Seek postings in Brisbane every week there's 50+ in Sydney and Melbourne. @trender03 We support some big AU websites Job market is tight, marami desktop support/all…

in IT Professionals in Australia Comment by fruitys October 2018
@au_me Forklift licence, first aid, white card and blue card. As for tips, apply ng apply wag mapili. Tailor your cover letters to every company. Once you get your first AU job and gained some "local experience" everything else will be easier.

in How long did it take you to get a job? Comment by fruitys October 2018
@ray1188 Yes, for every company where you want to claim points for work experience. You need to prove you got paid for that work. Payslips, tax records (BIR 23xx), bank statements.

@lalufinds Any should be fine as long as the place is quiet. I used my company's Plantronic headset. @annafonz No guarantees. Watch the E2Language vids on YouTube to know how to pass that question type. You WILL need your English skills when you co…

in PTE ACADEMIC Comment by fruitys October 2018
@kimpoy It's generally optional. I never use my middle name in AU and all the forms I filled have it as optional. My visa doesn't have my middle name. As long as you're consistent then that's fine.

@carlomorato The PTE Academic website has the entire exam format, get used to the exam order first (including the introduction/mic test part) I reviewed by exam order and went with the E2Language lessons on Youtube + PTE Gold Kit (for the mock test…

in July 2018 visa 189/190/489/457 Comment by fruitys July 2018
@PinkMagnolia IMO aim for around: $350-400/wk for rent (goes higher the closer you are to your city's CBD) $50-90/mo for power, water and internet each (these are very high and conservative estimates) $50-60/wk to fund your transport card (aka go/op…

in Things to do first "After" arriving in Australia Comment by fruitys July 2018
@indulgence Pearson has an official reviewer that comes with a CD-ROM (Practice Tests Plus). That CD has 3 full sets of the exam. The CD tests also look and is timed like the real thing, with a mock introduction part. If it's $40 then might as well…

@athelene Food yes always always always declare. Australia has one of the strictest customs borders in the world. For disks personal photos and files are ok but make sure you remove all/any pirated stuff like downloaded movies and mp3s.

@vincechaos Only got my TOR and diploma authenticated and parang di naman pinansin. Friend went through an agent and di naman din sinabi sa kanila yan after grant na need mag pa red ribbon. @jennyfv I wired over BPI. Mahal siya given the doc stamp…

in Migrating to Australia with high hopes Comment by fruitys May 2018
@autumnleaf Most STSOL occupations are for the state (190) or regional nomination visas (489). Right now temporarily closed ang Victoria and Queensland for state nominations Check your occupation here to be sure what visa you can apply for: https:…

in General Skilled Immigration Visa - Step By Step Process Comment by fruitys May 2018
@jiza You can mark it as not related to current occupation when you file your EOI and note the same job in Form 80. That way kita lahat ng CO pero you don't want the new job to count sa assessment.

in Australian Computer Society Skills Application Comment by fruitys May 2018
@ysabelle Those are just pro-rated occupations. Mga mataas demand and/or marami nagaapply kaya there's specific limits on those occupations. If you want to see all occupations, check mo yung yellow box on the top of the forums for the two occupatio…

in EOI SkillSelect - Point Test Table Comment by fruitys April 2018
What's your occupation? Occupations like accountants need 80+ points minimum. For the rest of the occupations 60/65 points usually a few months wait yan for 189. Ang benefit ng 190 is faster ang processing mo once invited compared to 189.

in April 2018 Visa 189/190/489/457 Comment by fruitys April 2018
@ysabelle Invitation rounds happen twice a month every 2 weeks. The more points you have you get to be in front of the queue. If you have 75+ points you can expect to get invited in a month or two. How many points do you have/expect in your EOI?

in Visa Application Timeline Comment by fruitys April 2018
@toAustraliaandbeyond I reviewed for around 3h a day for 3 weeks after work. Puyatan minsan on top of work but it's a small sacrifice for the end result. Good luck! @Supersaiyan I found the essays the easiest of the writing part and the summarize …

@alfonso31 Incoming money transfers to AU you need SWIFT/BIC code, BSB (this is a 6-digit code) and account number. Walang IBAN sa Australia. BIC and SWIFT same thing yan. If walang field sa form ng bank mo for BSB, lagay mo siya sa "sort code" or…

in How nd where to send money from Pinas to Australia Comment by fruitys April 2018
@wnchitman There's one testing center in Trident Tower at Makati. There's a new one in Cebu but I'm not sure where that is. @iamnotfromriverdale I studied following the exam order: Speaking > Writing > Reading > Listening

in PTE ACADEMIC Comment by fruitys April 2018
If you're going through ACS (I don't know about the other assessment bodies), you'd need a stat dec/affidavit of your job duties/descriptions. Then you can submit all 3 for assessment.

@tigerlance Check the results of the SkillSelect invitation rounds. This is the one from Mar 21: https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/WorkinginAustralia/Pages/21-march-2018-invitation-round.aspx

in EOI SkillSelect - Point Test Table Comment by fruitys April 2018
@alfonso31 When you created your bank account they should've given you the SWIFT code and the BSB of the Westpac branch. Most AU banks have their SWIFT codes on their website. You get the BSB and the account number on your internet banking page. Yo…
