South Australia...Adelaide po tama? Try niyo po dun mag apply...I'm pretty sure you can find a job --nasa Australia na kayo e hehe.

Pansamantala, maghanap po muna kayo ng part time para may kinikita kayo 🙂

Tama si sir @LokiJr hanap muna kayo ng part time job if ever para meron man lang kayo income dyan while applying for the job in line with your experience. why not try to contact sir @sohc alam ko dyan din sya sa South australia para me kakilala ka na jan.hehe.

try mo muna magkaroon ng driver licence para makagala ka gusto mo puntahan.

tanung ka sa www.philippines.com.au baka may kilala silang mga pinoy sa adelaide.

Sa Mall dami pinoy dun.

baka may philippine consul office dyan tanung ka lang din dyan kung may grupo na pinoy.

Attend ka sa mga christian churches every sunday Malamang may pinoy dun.

sa mga bus interchange malamang may pinoy nakaupo dun wait for the bus.

Mag search ka sa google type filipino adelaide o pinoy adelaide. Malamang may pinoy na bumibili sa asian store. Try mo baka may pinoy restaurant sa adelaide search mo na lang sa google.

goddluck and enjoy

..... apology for the wrong post

@sgmumsy - i am also an ABAP programmer under 457 visa. pero naglodge na kami ng family ko ng 175 kasi di na namin mawait ung promise ng employer ko na after 2 years pa kami isponsor. gusto ko na din kasi maging pr para ma afford na namin ang childcare for my 3 yrs old daughter. mahal kasi pag hindi pr. anyway, try mo ung 3W consulting, eto ung company ko na nagsponsor ng 457 ko. sa totoo lang pangit syang company pero ok na din para makapasok lang ng au diba. pag may alam ako na hiring balitaan kita.

sgmumsy

@diwata wow salamat po! actually nakapagpasa na din ako dyan. they ask me to send the skill matrix pero wala pa pong balita ulet. meron din isang company na nagreply sa akin na mejo limited daw ang options ko at the moment since marami daw ngayon nag offshore dyan sa au at maraming sap consultants na either locals or me working visa na.. how true po ba ito? and pashare din nung timeline nyo from applying to getting ur visa..

salamat ulet 🙂

@diwata mukhang makakatulong sayo ung changes by july 2012. magkakaroon ng transition from 457 to pr.. check below's thread

diwata

@sgmumsy - natuwa nga ako sa changes na yan eh. nagmadali pa naman ako bago mag change ng policy eh for better pala. pero ok lang din at least naka lodge na kami. anyway, dito sa brisbane, qld konti lang ang nakikita kong hiring pero sa sydney at melbourne madami.

Hi! Question po... is it really advisable to call the employers or headhunters kapag naglagay sila ng phone numbers sa job ads similar below:

<i>If this sounds like you then I look forward to hearing from you. You may call +61 2 1234 5678 or email juandelacruz@australia.com.au</i>

When you call, will they conduct an initial interview na or they will just give further details about the job posting? If you express your intention through call rather than email, is the chance higher that they'll pursue your application?

Anyone here who have experiences calling employers or headhunters?

hi everyone, san po ba best place to stay/live in WA aside from perth? accountant po wife ko, ako naman sa HR nag work.. tnx!

sohc

@JClem bro I called headhunters that's how I got my job, pero yung nangyari sakin diretso permanent hindi na yung usual na under ng recruitment agency.

Try nyo din magsearch sa google ng mga not for profit organization especially if your in SA. I'm not sure kung meron sa ibang state. Maganda benefits especially sa tax, instead na mapunta lahat sa govt you can use it in almost everything with a max of $16,050/year.

hi peeps, not sure kung related pa to sa topic..pero andito nako sa Australia since feb 2, 2012. Visa ko is subclass 475. Recognised din ako ng Engineers Australia as a Professional Engineer (CIvil Engr) pero hindi ako makakuha ng trabaho. Prefer nila lagi is minimum 2 years local experience. Kaya medyo magulo yung saying na skill shortage for civil engineers dito. Anyway, i guess alam nadin ng lahat na restricted to regional areas lang yung Subclass 475. Fortunately, may natanggap ako Job offer as a civil engineer..kaso nga lang is sa Perth. The company mentioned na may kakilala daw sila na kaparehas ng visa ko and nakiusap na lang sa immigration since wala talaga sila makuha work sa allowed areas ng visa nila and eventually pinayagan daw sila..I hope meron dito sa forum na to na may same experience and sana totoo nga to para naman magkaroon nako ng work. mag 3 months nako walang work and paubos na budget..hope to hear from you guys.. thanks!

^ Interesting site sir. Hope everyone can get a chance to look at their postings 🙂

Hi, I'm a graduate of BS Chemical Engineering in UP. I graduated 2007 pa. I’m a registered chemical engineer kaso di in line sa chemical engineering ang work ko. What can you advise me po to which visa I should take. Salamat!!!!

LokiJr

Hi @cel, ang inominate mo sa visa ay yung trabaho niyo na lang.

Ano po ba trabaho niyo? Tutal register chemical engineer kayo baka may link naman yung ginagawa ninyo sa tinapos niyo.

also read something like that in expatforum... same with your case...

ginawa nya nagpaalam sya sa SA government na wala syang makuhang work...

pinayagan naman sya na magwork sa ibang state...

tapos parang sinabi na it is only a moral obligation to work on the sponsoring state but not a legal one... don't know if this is applicable to all, pero dun sa nabasa ko sa expatforum, SA din yung state nya... maybe SA lang nag-aalow nun maybe not, Im not sure...

kaya paalam ka sir, wala naman mawawala... sayang naman ang work sa Perth pag pinalampas mo... good luck...
