@ggkat, I've never been to NT. Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sydney pa lang napuntahan ko sa OZ for holidays.
Have you got your State sponsorship or apply pa lang? If not, I guess you better work on your commitment statement really hard. If you can get contacts from potential employers the better.
In my situation, nahirapan kasi ako maghanap ng job postings online so naghanap ako link ng mga firms na based sa Darwin at nag-send ako resume kahit wala sila job opening. may tatlong sumagot. yung dalawa, wala daw silang opening pero they will keep in touch in case they are in need of staff. Yung isa, naging interested siya and madaming tinanong -
e-mails back and forth. In the end binagyan niya ako ng support letter stating that they will hire me once I reach Australia.
I'm currently doing side jobs for them now dito sa SG as I'm waiting for my visa to be finalized.
PS.
yng mga negative replies from employers sinubmit ko pa rin, it will show that you are really pursuing to work there and not just for the sake of a visa.
good luck
