@resty84: I doubt po ma-approve sa DIAC eh, if at all possible.
Firstly, the only way po kasi Australian companies can bring foreigners in is through a working visa, which is generally the 457 or business long-term. To be able to do that, the worker must be earning at least $60.000. So, unang tanong niyo po dapat ay magkano ang sweldo niyo dito.
Second, they have to prove that they cannot get australian citizens or PRs already onshore, thus the need to hire foreigners. With this year's tightening of 457 visa, nag-police na kasi ang gobyerno nila sa mga companies. Hindi na basta-basta pumapayag ang gobyerno. If mapapansin niyo, mga specialised/subspecialised fields na yung pinapapasok. Ang rationale: if non-specialised field, makakahanap ng Australian to do the job, so why get somewhere else. Is the work you're going to be doing something specialised and in-demand in Australia? Something to look into po yan.
Third, hindi lahat ng australian companies allowed to bring foreign workers. May certain income bracket or earning power sila kailangan ipakita for a significant number of years, before they can nominate. Meron din minimum number of employees. Small companies, cannot. Yung company na yun ba ay ganun po?
Fourth, most headhunters do not charge anything. So hindi kayo dapat pinagbabayad kung totoo ngang may ganung position. Wala pa akong na-meet na headhunter nagpapabayad. In fact, kayo pa babayaran kung may ma-refer kayong kaibigan.
Last but not the least, ang usual nito, nasa SOL ang occupation dapat kasi. I don't have the SOL list, but you have to also look at SOL. This will be your guide whether you will get a shot of getting PR down the line. Also whether DIAC will likely approve you.
So, balik po tayo dun sa tanong niyo po. Hindi po talaga ganun kadali to bring foreign workers. With production worker kasi, andami po dito pwede gumawa niyan po kasi tingin ko. Eto suggestion ko, why don't you try sending an email directly to the company so you can verify personally kung totoo ngang may ganung position. If totoo nga, apply directly to the company, and don't bother with middle-men.
Ingat po kayo, wag basta magtiwala. Definitely verify. Goodluck po. đŸ™‚
