<blockquote rel="NEXT_AU">Hello. Ask po ako if ok na ang market now to get a job jan sa AU? last aug to nov kasi walang nakuha na work si hubby :-( Business Analyst po nia-applyan nya. Thanks in adv po.
Happy new year!</blockquote>
About the job market, not trying to sound pessimistic, but medyo mahirap ang job market ngayon. If you heard the news nung last December, Holden will cease manufacturing here by 2017 and before the announcement they laid off some people (classmate ko sa 1 course was a manager in Holden and unfortunately nakasama sya but he was happy kc 18 yrs in Holden, he was able to get a package na more than a year salary and tax free daw plus some additional due to Automotive workers union pay something) , I think Toyota will soon follow pero wag nman sana. Qantas would be laying off 500+ workers, I heard IBM and BP also retrenched some workers, ANZ and Commonwealth Bank also had retrenchment last year , ANZ daw dahil sa outsourcing sa Pinas.
Sabihin mo sa hubby mo tyaga-tyaga lang, some were fortunate to land jobs in few wks, or ung iba swerte pagdating nla dto may jobs na nakaabang sa kanila but on the average yata tlagang inaabot ng 4-9 months lalo kung walang "local experience". Job market is getting tougher na din siempre your hubby will be competing with those people na na-retrench or ung gusto mag switch ng company, plus ung mga foreigners grads na dto nag Phd or Masters degree, na madami dn and ung mga dumadating na new migrants mostly from India, China.
