Hello everyone,
I was reading your post and we can relate with the challenges.

We moved to Sydney last March 20, currently on a 14-day self quarantine at a hotel. Since the covid outbreak and plans for a city lockdown, medyo mahirap yata makahanap ng work. Would you know of our alternatives? Some friends advised us to visit Centrelink for an allowance. Can we qualify for a Jobseeker allowance? Any other options?
Keep safe, everyone.

As in stay lang kayo sa hotel? Paano foods nyo ? Mga personal needs? Di pwde buy sa labas?

Mukhang ganyan mangyayari sa amin sa July..

Na read ko sa news kanina, 95k of Aussies sabay sabay nag log in sa system ng centerlink, nag crash ang site.. mukhang di nila kaya ma accomodate ang needs ng lahat.. hopefully makakuha kayo jobs kagad. Anung industry po

Kayo?

hello mga kapatid 🙂 sana lahat e nasa maayos na kalagayan sa gitna ng virus na ito.

nag BM kami ng family ko dito sa Victoria last March 1, during that time, wala pang gaanong cases ng covid 19 sa Victoria although meron na sa Australia (mostly NSW).
In 3 weeks time dumami na and yun nga starting bukas, lockdown na ang NSW, Victoria and Canberra.
I would assume na since ang mga companies ngayon dito e working on abnormal circumstances (work from home) - job hiring may be put on hold muna till when di naten alam.
If mag BM kayo, you will be under mandatory 14 day self quarantine, and take note na if makikitira kayo sa kaibigan, pati sila madadamay sa self quarantine so hindi sya magiging ideal. 14 days sa hotel will easily slash 2000 off your ipon din.
Inspection ng house (para doon sa mga kukuha na agad ng house) e naka hold sa pagkakaalam ko.
We can never say when is the best time to come (ngayon ba or after a few months pa) because we don’t know how things will progress. We hope na ma contain ng Australia ang covid 19 by taking these measures na mag lockdown.
Struggle ang pag bili sa supermarket kasi nagkakaubusan, pero nag rerestock naman sila.
If you are moving here then with very limited resources, I suggest to stay where you are right now, mag ipon muna ng madami because getting a job at this time may be extra challenging.
Mag iingat tayong lahat at dagdagan ang dasal 🙂

Hello po. May work na kayo dyan? Nakakuha na ba kayo ng house or staying with a friend?

Sinagot ko na busy kasi sya, work from home ang madam.

kaya kailangan ng magagaling na Software architect tulad namin sa OZ. nyhahaha. joke lang. yeah praying matapos na rin tong covid problem na to para maibsan kahit papano ang pag hahanap ng work. ingat guys.

Sana nga matapos na ito. sobrang uncertain ng mga kaganapan.

Yesterday, most non-essential shops were asked by goverment to close. I was out yesterday around midday and it felt super surreal to see cafes and restaurants shutdown their stores. The general vibe feels really sad.

In terms of work and job hunting, I found out yesterday from a friend in the construction and engineering industry that their Company might have to temporarily shut down as well. Their company still have two months worth of work and the boss guaranteed them up to two months pay, and that's it. After that, the company do not have enough projects in the pipeline and no regular cash inflow anymore. Lot's of their clients have to put halt on contracts because of the uncertainties.

Also, those on health care industry lookig for a job, this might interest you.

I saw on FB post as well that some hotels where closing due to covid and they are left without no work & pay.... very sad indeed. =(

Butterfly8i8

On the bright side naman, na-feel ko ang concern ng goverment nila dito sa mga tao na mawawalan ng trabaho. Very wholistic ang approach nila, not only to the corona health issue pero concern din sila sa magiging financial impact sa mga tao. The goverment asked companies to put payment for utilities on hold, landlords cannot evict tenants who will not be able to pay rent, kapag may mortgage ka pwedeng hindi muna magbayad. Tsaka meron allowance na ibibigay if mawalan ka ng work. Iba compared sa dati, may realization ako na tama ang decision ko to come here.

Butterfly8i8

Kaya sobrang gusto ko na magka-work and my pay taxes. hahaha. Wala ako pake kahit malaki ang tax dito kasi sobrang kitang kita mo kung saan napupunta.

@maguero apartment pala po sorry, hindi bahay. sige po checheck ko po sa FB and sa mga websites. Thank you!

lecia

@Butterfly8i8 i agree! @Admin magaling talaga mga Pinoy!!

🙂 Thanks Lecia. Last week, may mga interviews rin ako. Video Call. Kaya lang this week, nagsabi sila na mag freeze hiring sila due to the circumstances. Ayun. So move nalang rin namin yun big move, until makita yun pagbaba ng number of cases.

Nakakatakot dito sa manila. Parang hindi transparent sa numbers e. Wala kasi mashadong test kits.

Kelan ka po dumating?

lecia

@Ozlaz anung industry ka? Try try lang apply.

Iniisip ko sa Pinas mag antay pag natapos nko contract dito SG.

Pero mas takot ako sa bansa natin, di pa talaga tayo well equipped sa health care facilities, totoo yan hindi transparent ang numbers. Yung mga natetest ngayon, old cases pa yan. Yung sa Visayas na samples nga from overseas travellers na PUI na reject dahil dried na ang throat swabs, dahil natagalan sa pag antay ng testing kits. Di pa din sya kaya ng mga hospital sa Pinas na mag handle ng disease outbreak.

Kelan nyo ulit balak mag BM.? Hindi na siguro ako aatras sa July, pwde na ako muna mauna kasi much needed ang occupation ko ngayon ( healthcare), tsaka na susunod mga babies at family ko.

lecia

Sino po mag big move anytime soon? Nakita ko sa FB, willing to buy your personal needs. Mura na din to. Sydney ang location, Pang quarantine muna..

IT. Kung may means ka mag stay pa dyan sa Singapore, much better dyan ka na mag stay. Mas safe dyan kasi. Sumusunod sa govt mga tao. At the end of the day, sa mga tao pa rin talaga mag kakatalo yun pag contain ng covid. Dito madaming pasaway

Originally, May ang alis namin. Medyo nag dadalawang isip ko kasi pag nag cancel ang cebupacific, mag check ako ng ibang airlines. Yun SG ayaw na magpa intransit. Isama mo na family mo kung kaya, kesa maiwan sila sa pinas. Mas safe sila sa australis.

lecia

@Ozlaz sa ngayon halos naka work from home mga IT na kilala ko sa Sydney.

May nakita ako sa FB: diko ma attach ang photo, laki ata ng size.

Sa mga mag BM anytime soon, maganda tong offer nila..mura na din. Sydney ang location.
