@ianne27 Hello! Welcome to this forum! I agree to your comment na sana maraming Filipino teachers makapg-share dito ng application and migration experience. By the way, anong level pina-assess mo? Good luck on your skill assessment, hopefully positive yan and please continue sharing your Oz journey here. :-)

@ianne27 : welcome mam...tips nman jan sa IELTS...nahihirapan ako sa reading...

ianne27

@R_Yell here are some helpful tips in reading (hopefully, they are, heheheh)

Find the main idea in each paragraph... all questions are anchored there.
While you read, make quick markings and annotations - You can underline and mark the questionnaire - that's what I did so I could easily find the answers to the given questions whether implicit or explicit. :-)
Dont linger on a certain question if you don't know it... answer everything that you know first... then balikan mo nalang to save time...
Recheck your spelling - it matters - same with apostrophes and contractions.
Focus and read everything - skim and scan but don't skip... chances are you'll be missing details...

ALL THE BEST! kaya mo yan...:-) Your scores are not really horrible - Prayers +skill + luck = target score mo na lalabas next

@gemini23 thanks:-) I know quite long pa journey namin to OZ... but we know na paunti unti e makakaFINISH LINE din kami.

SECONDARY TEACHER entry ko, primary applicant. It's soooo hard gathering all the papers specially I'm also working. From practicum to COE's - Ako pa lahat nagdraft ng mga letter so they'll just sign and edit just in case they want to change something para mas mabilis. Kasi if inaasa sa kanila mas matagal, they'll tend to give you excuses.

As of now, waiting for the result from AITSL. Then submit EOI, we have an agent to help us...we're both busy and working kaya we can't do some stuff personally.

bout u? :-)

@ianne27 Hi! Thank you for sharing, now it's clear to me na I have to settle IELTS and AISTL before I can submit EOI....

I plan to retake IELTS but I think maaabutan ako ng changes sa required band score next year, so I plan to really really prepare for it to get the scores kahit mukhang imposible. Kasi if now, I'm still not ready with my documents for skill assessment. Saka eto nga yung dilemma ko, I want to nominate Secondary Teacher as well cuz that is my college degree but my teaching experiences are mostly in Primary level, so would they recognised my work experience as closely relevant to my nominated occupation? So dun ako na-stuck.

@ianne27 :thank you po mam sa encouragement...taga saan po kau?

ianne27

@gemini23 Yep, maabutan ng changes...esp. no more slots pag ganitong time na... everybody is rushing... BUt I think kayangkaya mo yon... practice practice lang... esp if madami ka time... ako nahirapan magpractice because of work.

You are SECONDARY, but experiences in teaching in the primary - hmmmm i think that is possible... pasa mo kasi sabi nila at nakalagay dun sa AITSL relevant work experience... relevant naman ung experiences mo ah - same work lang gawa ng highschool at elem. Enumerate all you work sa CV mo at COE...

excited na ako for you...

ianne27

@R_Yell here in Manila...hehehe been teaching for 6 years na sa Catholic Schools

ianne27

@R_Yell lapit na IELTS mo...we'll pray for you ;-)

Tulungan tayo dito sa forum... Your updates... my updates can and might be helpful sa iba...

nakakainggit ung ibang assessing bodies...ambilis mag-assess...ang AITSL ang tagal- the agony of waiting...

ianne27

read the previous posts - is jheila23 still here? she can be of great help sa ating lahat heheheh...

c dnoblec din...nasan na kaya sila? :-)

Madaming teaching opportunities sa OZ... Im planning to target Catholic Schools...

I emailed them personally (adik din ako...wala pa ngang visa and AITSL)

they responded naman...positively... but they still check visa first...

atleast nabuhayan ako...

R_Yell

@ianne27 : right. same here. at least may pag asa pa rin pla taung mga non-native english speaking teachers...this is a good news...

saan po ang plano niya na magstay sa OZ? may relatives po ba kau dun?

ianne27

@R_Yell no relatives... SS entry namin. But I have fwends and previous classmates dun... plus we're building connections here...so kita kita nalang doon.

target namin WA or NSW but kung sino magsponsor na state dun na ko... kung sino mauna at kung saan in demand ung skills naten.

ianne27

@R_Yell: yep we're not native English speakers - magkatalotalo nalang sa skills hehehhe...i mean tayo pang Pinoy kahit saan ilagay OK... pero we need to triple our effort or another option is to study MA in OZ... para mas my edge tayo...

but as of now... waiting waiting... and waiting...

R_Yell

@ianne27 : thanks po. really? nagturo din po ako sa Ateneo pero sa Davao. Bisaya po ako.

sana this time papasa na ako or else wala ng pag asa by january 2013 kasi tataas na ang IELTS Band Score requirement ng AITSL.

Ready na po ung papers ko po for AITSL Assessment. IELTS nlng kulang.

BTW, back to back po ba ung notary sa docs niyo? magkano nman po? para at least may idea ako to tell my sis. Siya po kasi ang gumagawa lahat ng papers ko sa Pinas.

When po ba ang expected date niyo sa AITSL Assessment Result?

So excited here for you din. My prayer is on you too.

Nice to see that this thread is still alive. We are almost 3 weeks in Australia, and unfortunately, still haven't got work. All of the pinoys we met here told me na, I just have to work, ANY work yun ah, mapa groceries, waiters or cleaners. I have passed resumes here and there, but to summarize para magkaroon na kayo ng idea. BTW we are in regional NSW...

You need to have local experience
You need to drive here... (hassle sa akin because I don't drive in the Philippines, but mahirap ang public transpo nila, specially here in the regional area...)
If you're planning to apply to catholic schools here, dapat at least may makilala kang parish priest as your referee... if state schools naman, kelangan mo munang mag apply ng statement of eligibility and then yung application to teach in nsw...
Mas madali siguro pag single kang pupunta dito, kasi pwede ka maghanap ng shared accommodation.

Yan pa lang muna. Anyways, good luck sa lahat mga fellow teachers. Sa mga kukuha ng ielts and sa mga magpapaassess sa aitsl... isasama ko kayo sa mga prayers ko. God bless!

R_Yell

@sticktoexecute : thanks...i'll include u too in my prayer Believe God has His own timing and know that it's perfect. Good things work together in Christ, our LORD.

Sana papasa na ako.

gemini23

@ianne27 Bakit nga pala SS ang napili mong visa at hindi independent?

gemini23

@sticktoexecute Thank you for sharing your experiences there. Malaking tulong yan sa mga tulad namin na naga -aspire to be there as teachers. Minsan napapa-isip ako, ano kaya may mayaman na Pinoy migrant, magtayo na lang ng private school exclusive for Pinoys or Asians then i-hhire nyang teachers mga Pinoy (gandang panaginip, hahahahha) Anyway, keep us posted.:-)

ianne27

@sticktoexecute thanks for the insights...napakahelpful... update mo kami ha...

yeah...dapat magkalocal experience muna sa pupuntahan naming state... I'll cross the bridge when I get there... planning to target catholic schools... thanks thanks

AITSL - matagal ba talaga sila magevaluate ng papers? Expected result ko e this last week of november - guessing by Nov 27 or 28. or first week ng december.. haizzzz.
