Electrical Engineers Thread

iammaxwell1989

Hello fellow Electrical Engineers! I created this thread as a venue of sharing experiences, information, and advice to and from EE's in Oz or planning to migrate to Oz.

Here's a little bit of structure, but feel free to stray away anytime.

Anong stage ka ng Oz dream? Planning to go to Oz? Already in Oz?
Where in Oz do you stay or plan to stay?
Which industry are you engaged in?
Anything under the sun you want to share? 🙂

@almirajanea Hi po. Newbie po ako dito. My husband and I are both electrical engrs also. Ask ko po sana kung may sample po kau ng CDR? Did you seek guidance from a consultant? Thanks and God bless you.

almirajanea

@MissTE hello! meron ako sample pero dinownload ko lang din sa internet! Hehe! Anung field kayo? Kasi ako lang ang nagpaassessed sa EA, si hubby hindi na. Pang utility yung CDR ko. Pero if you like, PM mo sa kin email mo. Sensya na late reply paminsan minsa lang kasi nakakapagcheck here 🙂

@almirajanea Hello po Ma'am. Thanks for the reply. Sa Pinas din po ba kau nakabase ngayon? Meron po ba kayong agent or sariling sikap lang po?

EE po ako by profession pero nasa Electronics po ung experience ko. For now, di ko po alam kung saan po ako pwede, pwede po kaya ako sa Electronics since un po ung line ng experience ko or dapat EE kasi un ang license ko. May May idea po ba kau?

Hi! sensya na sobrang tagal ng reply. hehehe! Na-sent ko na sa email mo. Dito na kami ni hubby sa Sydney, mag one month na. Medyo nahihirapan sya maghanap ng work eh kaya nag -odd job muna sya. Ako naman, di pa nagtry maghanap ng work kasi medyo malaki na tyan ko (preggy, 6months). Siguro paglabas na ni baby.. Im trying to see opportunities for me sa SEEK kaso napakadalang 🙁

Anyway, try lang ng try 🙂

almirajanea

hi Sir, agree ako kay @Milkan.. kasi dito sa Sydney usually Building Services ang hinahanap.. Yung oil and gas industries concentrated sa WA

Hi! Tips naman dyan how you land on your job.. nahihirapan na si hubby sa pag-aapply. One month na kami pero wala pa din sya kahit isang interview 🙁 Medyo senior position na kasi sya sa mga previous work nya.. kaylangan ba namin idowngrade yung CV nya? Pero di namin alam kung papano hehe.. thanks!

iammaxwell1989

@almirajanea Based lang po sa experience ko, ang ginagawa ko ay inaaddress ko yung mga job responsibilities at requirements sa CV at sa cover letter ko. For each job responsibility, nilalagay ko yung mga previous experiences ko relating to that.

almirajanea

@iammaxwell1989 thanks! ganyan din ginagawa namin.. siguro not yet time pa talaga makahanap si hubby ng related sa profession... same tayo ng industry sa pinas.. mas ok ba sa melbourne kaysa sa Sydney?

Hi @almirajanea Thanks a lot for sharing. Okay lang ba na biglang mabuntis kahit on-going yong assessment ng application? Worry ko din kasi yan.

almirajanea

Hello @MissTE, madedelay ka sa visa application mo pag preggy ka. Usually kasi hinihintay na ng case officer yung baby before mavisa grant. Napreggy ako grant na visa eh so no problems na for us. 🙂
