Overwhelming Job offers, left and right. Dream coming true.

sohc

I just like to share my adventure here as a new migrant. I am currently in Sydney for a 2 weeks vacation. I am bound to move in Adelaide this Sunday. I started applying for a job last Monday, I already received 3 job interview invitations in Adelaide for next week. However the fourth caller offered a job in Darwin. The overall package was so great that I cant really believe it. I got torn between Adelaide and Darwin. I have to answer the employer tomorrow because he knows that I am moving in Adelaide this Sunday, and if I say yes I will meet him in their office in Sydney CBD. I am confused, 3 employers waiting in Adelaide while 1 100% sure job offer in Darwin with great package. I am thinking outside my sister's house right now looking at the stars hoping I made the right decision tomorrow...

@sohc Wow! Congrats po. Tama nga ang sabi ng mga forumers nayin dito na nadiyan na sa Oz. Once you've reached Oz, Employment opportunities are so abundant that you don't know which to choose.. 😃 Godd luck po sa job hunting niyo diyan sa Oz. Sayang nga po at di ako umabot sa quota diyan sa SA. Kaya sa WA regional na lang po punta ko.hehe..

Congrats @sohc! Ang masasabi ko lang follow your heart. Choose what you believe will make you happy.ü

Happy ako for you. Your experience in job hunting in AU gives us a glimpse of hope that finding a job there is not that really hard.ü

@sohc

congrats! meron din akong job offer dyan sa Adelaide last November, I was interviewed via skype. The job was urgent so I didnt make it. I guess Adelaide is in really shortage of IT professionals.

@sohc and all, Hi po, may I ask kung paano ka nag-apply? Were u in the Philippines nung nag-apply ka? I'm new po sa forum and I really want to work in Aussie but I don't know where to start and whether I'm qualified or not.. I hope people in this forum can help me kht advices lng po..

sohc

I was surprised that it's already 8:45pm, a new employer rang me again. I have 3 employers in Adelaide waiting while 1 in Darwin. I already have plane tickets to Adelaide this Sunday and a 2BR house waiting. I'll check which one's the best, in case I might fly to Darwin next week (kung san san na ko napapadpad dito down under). Darwin is near Philippines and airfare to PH usually cost $199 though Adelaide for me looks better but airfare to PH is $1000+.

Mas tumatawag ang mga employer once they saw na ang address mo is within their state. Some tips, customized all your cover letter starting in the file name ex: "Cover letter - IT System Engineer, Cubic". From there kita agad nila na customized yung cover letter. Remember we are competing with all other race in Aussie but I'm sure we Fil can keep up. Good luck to all of you!

@sohc Sir, question lang po. Isn't that you are on a 475 visa based on your signature? saan pong regional state kayo nag apply?medyo naguguluhan kasi ako kasi yung 3 job offers mo po is for adelaide and 1 for darwin. di ba po nasa NT yung darwin?

sohc

Hi mavs, yes I'm on 475 visa. I only applied in Adelaide, however 1 employer posted an ads in adelaide section but the truth behind the job posting is in Darwin. Darwin is also a regional area. I think sinadya nila magpost sa adelaide section to get possible employees, because it looks like na wala ganu nagaapply in NT. One big reason could be the slow state sponsorship that takes a year.

k_mavs

@soh Ah ok sir. If ever you choose the job in Darwin will your SS in SA be voided? Because di po ba you need to live and work in SA for 2 years based on the Regional State sponsored agreement. Do you think na pwede lumipat ng state as long as nasa regional area din siya? or kelangan mo muna na isponsoran ka muna nung ubang state na kumukuha sayo like NT?

Interested po kasi ako sa issue na to kasi i'll be lodging my 475 visa this March for WA. Sana nga possible yung ganung scenario. 😃

@sohc, sir congratulations. Just give us a hint regarding sa pocket money na kelangan pag-ipunan. do u think US$10,000 is enuf for a couple? walang anak kaming dalawa lang and ang state namin is Victoria/Melbourne. sana ganyan din kabilis maghanap ng work para sa civil engineers at saka hair stylist/dresser/beautician para sa fiancee ko. thanks and congrats again!

lifehouse28

wow ang galing! sana marami rin jobs sa sydney / NSW. Marami ba jobs for IT in particular software engineers dyan?

Yung 2 years stay sa region na nag-sponsor sayo is not a legal obligation. Sabi nila moral obligation lang daw. You can still live and work in other cities basta informed lang si DIAC or yung region na nag-sponsor sa'yo. 🙂

Hi! how about when you would be applying for a PR visa? will there be any complications when you are coming from a 475 Regional Sponsored visa?

Davidx23

congrats sohc! ok yang Darwin kasi nanjan yung mga jetstar flights diretso ng pinas, wla ka ng stop over. ang draw back lang is maliit lang na city ang darwin kaya konti lang ang entertainment options mu.

wala kang legal obligation sa sponsoring state mo basta magpapaalam ka lang, of course state your meritorious reasons, papayagan ka naman nila. About applying for PR, 475 holder is required to comply with 2 yrs residence and 1 year experience in REGIONAL or LOW POPULATED areas. DIAC doesn't mind whether it is adelaide or darwin.
