<blockquote rel="Galtraveller">@catthsy - possible yan sis. nangyari sa akin 9 yrs ago had i taken the job offer matagal na ako pr jan kaya lang i didn't know any better before at bata pa ako. eto gawin mo habang nakatourist ka maghanap ka ng trabaho makinetwork ka sa mga church groups marami tutulong sayo basta un nga lang you have to attend their church service and be a member of that church. kung makakita ka magsponsor sayo baka kailangan mo magexit saglit gang ok na visa mo so apply ka ng visa sa nz dun ka muna saglit para di ka na balik ng pinas. at the same time kill two birds with one stone kung di ka makahanap employer sa oz dun ka maghanap sa nz.</blockquote>

Negative as it may sound, it is what it is and although there might be a 5% chances of this happening, the downside risk of it not happening is very HUGE.
Yes, competition is very tough and take note a tourist visa holder is going to compete against the (1) aussies, (2) those foreigner educated in Australia and (3) the PRs.
Good luck! đŸ™‚
