<blockquote rel="Filamokio">@TasBurrfoot Thanks pare, we're leaving Singapore by Dec this year but through this God's given opportunity, mauuna muna me. The benefits is good then, kasi yung superannuation nila is 14% eh. I'll be leaving tomorrow.</blockquote>

Nice... Malaking bagay ito @Filamokio; may premium ka sa sa superannuation pa lang...

Karamihan sa amin dito 9.25% lang ang super guarantee namin every month.

<blockquote rel="kookie420">Salamat sa lahat 🙂 it was indeed a big blessing, yan ang laman ng prayers ng buong pamilya namin the whole time.

Di ko masyado alam yung chuva ng husband ko basta COBOL and sa credit cards and focus ng work nya. He worked as BA, PM and Tech Lead. Hehe </blockquote>

COBOL din ako at sa credit cards din expertise ko hehe. TL and PL naman role ko. Pero expect ko na na BOPOL ako for few months... may mga COBOL mates na ako sa Melbourne na aampon sa akin while looking for work. Pag walang mahanap sa Melbourne kahit saan basta work 😃

congrats sa inyo! 😃

@peach17, sabi nung mga kakilala ko na nandun na eh ganun nga daw.. matumal ang mga trabaho sa IT kaya mag odd jobs daw muna..

Usually kasi people go on holidays sa December... So simula pa cguro sa November bumabagal na daw talaga. No first hand experience yet though.

@Filamokio . Congrats sa iyo... Mga ilang months din ang tyaga sa pag apply online while here in SG? Kami ganon din ginagawa ... but January pa kami punta ng Au.

@solidjeff, yes sa banko din 🙂

@Khaosan_road, alam mo, initially Melbourne ang plano namin. Kasi gusto ko dun, pero yung husband ko nag decide na sa Sydney kami kasi andun nga ang mas madaming job opportunity for him. Good luck sa job hunting, I hope you get a good deal!

Guys,

I just would like to share my experience in job hunting.. Before arriving here in Australia, just most of you.. nag apply na ako sa mga IT companies sa Pinas pa lang.. siguro sa about 50 applications na ni pass ko... isa lang ang nag respond... then they asked me when ako punta Australia so that they can schedule me for an exam.. I arrived here in Australia last August 10 and had the exam last Aug 12... after passing the exam.. I undergone panel interview Aug 15... With a lot of prayers prayers .. as in.. lots of prayers.. I got a job offer last Monday (Aug 19), signed the contract last Aug 21... I'll be starting next week Monday (August 26)..

One thing I would suggest is to really study the job posting.. in my case.. since i'm on software testing.. may nakalagay sa ads na "ISTQB certification is an advantage"... so what I did is to study reviewers ng ISTQB and this really helped me passed the exam.. in terms of the interview..on top of really reviewing your resume .. be prepared sa mga non-conventional questions.. yung mga tipong psychological questions.. example... if you're given 3 buttons.. red.. yellow.. green.. ano ang i press mo and why? .. so kung di ka nakapag prepare..baka kabahan ka agad sa interview...for me ito yung first question..... i did not expect the question.. super kaba talaga ako.. buti na lang naka recover agad ako .... and finally.. LOTS OF PRAYERS... tawagan nyo na rin yung lahat ng favourite ninyong saints... 🙂 ... in my case.. nag novena ako kay Padre Pio..... on the 9th day/last day of novena.... doon ako nag sign ng job offer.... daily Rosaries din...yung iba baka sabihin na OA.. pero ito yung time na we really need a lot of help from all sources...mahirap maghanap ng work kahit na nandito na sa Australia...

goodluck guys..... magagaling ang Pinoy.. kayang kaya natin yan...
