Good day.

Worth it pa po kayang kumuha ng certificate III/IV sa Eng'g field? Parang walang saysay yung BS degree sa pinas. Ang mahal lang po kasi ng post bachelor education dito.

In my experience bro mas matatag yung cert3/4 technical certificates dito. Yung engrng degree kasi dito either fresh local graduate ka, or senior.managerial roles ang available pag dating sa work. Case to case pa rin naman pero Yung trade certs ndi nauubusan ng work, Lalo na dito sa WA. Hindi masyadong pinapansin international engrng degree natin. Tagal ng issue ng Engrs Australia yan, lumalabas pang visa lang un degree ntn. Meron tayong kapwa pinoy dito na lahat nag professional, chartered engr d pa rin makapasok sa Linya nya. Tanggap na nating kahit malakas exp natin, halos back to zero tayo dito.
Yan dn ang sabi ng ibang kaibigan ko na anjan na. Ndi nman daw impossible pero back to zero ka talaga start ka sa baba. Ngstart sila sa technician/operator level then kuha ng mga certifications slowly building skills and network along the way. Mabigat kasi dn un networks and recommendation/referrals.

Oo bro lakas magdala ng referrals dito, pag na interview ka halos tanggap ka na. Maganda kasi work ethic ng pinoy alam nilang masipag and magaling. Mababago talaga yung mindset mo pag dating mo dito, titles won't matter. Depende sa diskarte mo, maghahanap ka ng career path na maganda work life balance tapos mataas yung salary ceiling. Kaya luminya ako dito sa mining kahit zero exp, mataas demand pati ceiling. As long as technical un ginagawa ko masaya ko, goods din yung rotation.

Paano po ba luminya sa Mining industry? yaan po ba yung FIFO? May mga nadidinig ako na may kalakihan ang compensation sa mining industry. Medyo malayo yung work experience ko po, drafting sa building services (Electrical)

Theres always a shortage in Manpower dito, you might be looking the job trends sa seek to give you an idea kung anong branch ng electrical engineering yung gusto mong pasukin. Coming from almost Geothermal background na non existent dito sa Aus, I just had a goal to work in any technical field na may mataas na salary ceiling. You need to step out from your comfort zone, take risks for a better chance of landing your dream job. Be confident na you'll learn and be good at what youre doing, establish a good rapport, good network. Yan ang nagdala sa kin naun, it was not easy changing companies after 6-8 months learning new stuffs again but it was definitely rewarding. Maganda ganda na yung position ko naun, being here for just 18 mos.

Magbago kasi talaga yung perspective mo in life dito, its hard to explain. Isa sa mga in demand tradie jobs dito are "sparkies" or electricians. You can start by looking at any entry level sparkie, apprenticeships, trades assistant jobs. Most companies would need trade certificates, but some are willing to train you and help you get the tickets you need for the job.

Sa laki ng Australia and being a large land mass, theres a lot of jobs in remote areas. The term FIFO and DIDO flyin flyout, drivein driveout is the work setup for these kind of jobs. Typical work schedule are 8-6, 7-7, 14-7 28-28 days on and off. Salaries can be paid per hr, or a per annum fix. My schedule is dependent shut schedule, I usually travel to 4to6 different sites per month.

Ayos po pala yan. Pag aralan ko po yung diskarte, kakastart ko pa lang po dito sa work ko. Visa489 hawak namin tapos need namin ng 1year fulltime equivalent working hours para makapag apply for permanent resident.

Maganda na yan bro andito ka na pala, madali ng maka diskarte nyan. Counted naman na yung stay mo habang naka 489 ka para pag PR nyo, mabilis na dn magapply ng citizenship

thanks for this thread na makatulong sa desisyon ko. I got invited to apply kasi sa SA nominated chemist offshore 491. Nahihirapan tlga ako magdecide kung mag stay na lng sa Dubai or e push ko ang Australia. Sobrang nahihirapan ako magdecide.

it will all boils down what you really want for your future. Kung financial security baka nga mas maganda ang Dubai for you. But if you want work-life balance and the possibility of being a citizen of another country, might as well try Australia. You can always get out and go back to Dubai if you don't feel like it anyway.

I guess you should ask yourself din why you even reached this point. Bakit ka nag-effort para makasubmit ng EOI and what has changed since then to make you think twice about taking the next step.

Iba-iba ang situation and reasons ng mga immigrants. It could be financial stability, it could be work-life balance, it could be to keep the family intact dahil yung ibang OFWs di nila kasama ang families nila kung nasaan sila nagttrabaho, it could be to give their kids stability kasi kung naka-work visa kayo and pwedeng mawalan ng trabaho at pabalikin sa Pinas anytime syempre magugulo din routine ng mga bata, it could be because you don't want to live in Pinas anymore.

Pag-isipan mo ng maigi what your reasons and goals are and decide from there.

Since nakapagtrabaho ka na abroad alam mo na how it is to move to another country and start anew. Consider din if you want to go through all that again.

Thank you so much po sa inyo. Im still single so its no problem for me to move anywhere. Medyo nahihirapan lang ako mag decide talaga especially na 491 visa ung offer. Marami po ako natutunan. Thank you 😊

Hello.

Hi everyone, I'm an aspiring int'l student in the field of Civil Engineering in Australia. Question lang po sa nasa AUS na specifically whose staying in Perth and Melbourne, ano pong place ang marerecommend niyo for an international student considering side job availability, rental and food expenses and a successful application of 485 visa (temporary graduate visa) two years after my study. I'll be taking up a VET course po totally inclined with my 3 yrs of eng'g profession.
