Hi there! Kamusta po?
I was a student in Adelaide, South Australia for two years. I acquired a Certificate III in Aged Care and a Certificate IV in IT Software Development just last December 2012. Currently, I am now back in the Philippines to was supposedly a short visit to my family and now I have been here for 4 months because my Student Visa has expired and I can't afford to study there right now due to family financial difficulties.
My <b>first question</b> is that with my Certificate III and IV, would there be any possible way for me to get a visa to go back there that isn't a student nor tourist visa? I heard that after years of study or qualification, I can get a certain visa which will allow me to look for a job for a year or less. Or would there be a chance for me to get sponsored with my Certificate III and IV?
My <b>second question</b> is what are the current jobs in demand in Australia? I am only 20, and if there isn't a way for me to go back yet, I plan to study this June 2013 a course in high demand in Australia. I've looked at the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) I understand that accountants, medical workers and IT are big right now, but are there any other besides that? What jobs are easy ways of becoming a Permanent Resident?
I know it's a long shot but I am very much open to any suggestions whatsoever to go back.
Thank you and I hope you can help me you!
