    @vangievc - nakow ma'am baka magulat kayo one day may nagknock sa door nyo, hehe (ako if God willing maayos ko docs ko :b )

    Kidding aside, ganda naman ng support system dito. I know only a few here actually know each other but ang galing, how encouraging yung mga words of wisdom and tips :)

    Katakot yung move, any move nakatakot. Yung move lang from PH to SG scary na. I was in the same situation, only dito I had my sister with me, so not much pressure sa job hunting more of "internal pressure" if there is such a thing. You start to doubt yourself, and if the move was right and if it would be better just to go home, but in God's time I found a job here -- in SG not in AU.

    In any situation I guess parate may lesson, AU, SG. The waiting time was perhaps the time I realized I couldn't rely on my skills, my school but on God alone. So best ang mga ganian situation when God wants you to learn something. :) Aja! :b

    @LakiMasel - i think tama lang naman na magresign and move to AU by december/january..
    you have alteast 1 month to settle...familiarize yourself with the area... relax/vacation ng ilang weeks, find a place, do the required stuff for new migrants (bank account..TIN, medicare/centerlink, driver's license)

    by the time mag january, ready kana sa job hunting.. pag dating ng february.. saktong sakto na..
    Sige po, parang sakto nga na December / January ako mag file ng resignation. Kasi sa mga nakakausap ko na recruiters mga nka vacation mode pa. Saka sakto po dahil para makapag asikaso pa nga ako ng mga bagay na yan.

    Ang hindrance ko lang naman sa pag tuloy ngayong taon ay dahil sa family ko. Kung ako lang, grab ko na agad ang pag alis.

    Salamat sa mga inputs nyo po. Nakapag decide na ako na mag ipon ipon pa, i-settle ang mga dapat i-settle, i update ang mga skills at experiences at portfolios. I-enhance ko na din ang resume' ko.

    ako naman po, gusto na pumunta Australia. Pero both mawawalan ng trabaho pagpunta sa Au though may ipon na kami pang-allowance ng 3 months sa AU. May baby rin kami. Kaso iniisip ko to take na the risk..bahala na si batman kasi parang mas makakahanap ng work kapag nasa AU na. Not sure lang kung ganun parin ba kahirap maghanap ng work dun. From Pinas kasi..decline ang narereceive ko from headhunters and wala naman reply for direct application.

    Parang may impact po talaga eh. Haaayy... kaso nakakatakot naman magpunta doon ng walang work eh noh. Grabe. Ganyan din po feeling ko po ngayon. Nakakawalang gana na nga din po eh. Alam ko naman na marunong ako.

    Hi @rolf021 ! You mentioned yung allowance for 3 months sa AU assuming you still don't have work. If you don't mind me asking mga roughly magkano per head po kaya yung anticipated budget / expenses nyo & what were your references to come up with this figure? Very useful po kase yung info for those of us considering to take that bold move to AU without a job. Thanks! :)

    @yukie77 - I have created a similar thread on your query above; you can base your computation there... I myself is a bit unsure of what is the budget weekly/monthly so I am looking for inputs.

    For me, I'm a cautious optimist...so tutal marami ka inaalala, have a back-up plan as well. Yun bang pag hindi umubra tong plano, may isa ka pang course of action. Nakaka-gaan ng loob yun para sakin hehe
    Agree ako sau sir LokiJr.. Ako plan ko talaga kumuha ng visa 175 then stay muna sa relatives ko sa Sydney then hanap work, at least hindi masyadong mabigat sa bulsa kung wala pa makuhang work agad. Kaso sumablay ang Plan A ko, kinulang ako ng points sa IELTS, I resorted to State Sponsorship yun nga lang sa WA and worst, wala akong kakilala dun.. So sa Plan B, sponsor na lang sa WA then stay for 2 years, hanap muna work dito before going to WA kasi honestly wala naman ako malaking savings to sustain one to two months na walang work. then based on research, failed pala yung idea na 'to dahil mas preferred ng employers ang nasa AU na before nila ihire.. Plan C ko stay muna sa Sydney habang nghahanap ng work sa Perth / WA saka ako move-in dun pero what if failed talaga, Plan D bumalik ng Pinas and ipon muna ulit.. Nagleave lang kasi ako sa work ko for two months and honestly, ok naman ako sa work ko dito yun nga lang I am hoping na mas malaki pa rin kikitain ko sa AU. :)

    Wooooh.. long reply. Bottomline pa din, dapat maraming alternatives or plans in case mag-fail ang isa.

    Goodluck to all of us.

    OT: It's nice to be back sa forum. haha.

    Whoever said that building a network via LinkedIn and with recruiters is right. May isang recruiter akong nakilala via LinkedIn na nangungulit sa isang kompanya on my behalf. Tinatawagan nya ako once or twice a week to give me an update and wait mode daw kaming pareho. It's a mutual benefit for both the recruiter and the jobseeker dahil pareho kayong kikita sa ganitong relationship.

    In other news, waiting pa rin ako ng response sa ibang mga pinasahan ko and sooooobrang sloooow ngayon (maybe it's the weather - kundi malamig ay umuulan sa gitna ng summer). Minsan sinasabi ko sa sarili kong "Baka hindi ako fit sa bansang ito", pero bigla naman akong sasagot nang "Porke ba unemployed may mali na sa sarili? Hindi ba pwedeng palpak lang ang resume?"

    So yes, darating sa lahat ang self-doubt, pero laban lang.

    @Metaform Agree...Walang problema naman kasi sa atin...kailangan lang natin din unawain na nasa bagong bansa tayo. Maraming factor bago tayo iconsider ng employer. Kelangan lang po siguro natin e mind setting.Ano ba ang pinaka purpose natin sa pagpunta sa bansang ito? Maghanap ng trabaho as in OFW or to stay here for good? Kung OFW, e talaga ngang dapat na magkatrabaho kayo agad agad kasi what's the point na pupunta kayo dito. Kung stay here for good, give yourself the chance to know and adapt sa lugar . Hindi naman po lahat ay nagkakaroon agad ng work na related sa course nya, pero wala po akong nakita ditong filipino na hindi kumain o wlang tirahan dahil wala ng pera.Kung mangyari man yun, maybe masyado tayong mapili sa trabaho.Kasi ang daming work na pwedeng pagkakitaan....Hindi madaling mag-adjust pero I assure you, it's worth it.Lalo na sa bumubuo ng pamilya...Malaki ang sweldo o maliit, kaya mong maenjoy ang mga bagay na mayayaman lang nakakaranas sa Pilipinas.

    Never na pumasok sa isip ko na titira ako dito sa ibang bansa.Makabayan po kasi ako.lol
    In fact after my three months here in abroad, umuwi ako ng Pinas.Hindi ko matanggap na hindi ko napapractice ang pagiging engineer ko dito. But someone reminded me, na magkavisa ka lang e napakalaking blessing na.Hayun bumalik uli ako...But with different attitude. Mag aaral ako kung kinakailangan or papasok ako ng libre sa engineering company para lang mapatunayan sa kanila na may kakayahan ako....Naka adjust din naman po ako. :-)...

    Kaya huwag po kayong panghihinaan ng loob,,kaya nyo yan.Minsan pa nga yata hindi maganda nakakarinig ng negative stories..nakakadiscourage minsan he he he...What I can advice is close your eyes..listen to the desire of your heart. then think what is the worst thing that might happen to you when you follow your heart...can you handle it or not? If yes, GO Go Go na and dont listen to anyone. Just pray! If you are not ready, wait na lang kayo until you become ready.

    God Bless po sa ating lahat..

    Whoever said that building a network via LinkedIn and with recruiters is right. May isang recruiter akong nakilala via LinkedIn na nangungulit sa isang kompanya on my behalf. Tinatawagan nya ako once or twice a week to give me an update and wait mode daw kaming pareho. It's a mutual benefit for both the recruiter and the jobseeker dahil pareho kayong kikita sa ganitong relationship.

    In other news, waiting pa rin ako ng response sa ibang mga pinasahan ko and sooooobrang sloooow ngayon (maybe it's the weather - kundi malamig ay umuulan sa gitna ng summer). Minsan sinasabi ko sa sarili kong "Baka hindi ako fit sa bansang ito", pero bigla naman akong sasagot nang "Porke ba unemployed may mali na sa sarili? Hindi ba pwedeng palpak lang ang resume?"

    So yes, darating sa lahat ang self-doubt, pero laban lang.
    I doubt my self na din kung marunong ba ako or what. Daming rejections... iniisip ko na lang na andito wala pa kasi ako sa AU. Pero sige laban lang.. tuloy ko lang itong work ko, ipon muna lalo and then saka na talaga mag take ng risk.

    Share ko lang pala yung experience ko guys. May interview ako noong isang gabi over Skype. Palagay ko nasagot ko yung mga tanong nila dahil confident ako na alam ko talaga.

    After the call, di nila naibaba yung phone. Parang customary na kasi sa akin na antayin ko muna ibaba ng kabilang line yung phone bago ko ibaba lalo na sa mga interviews or pag kausap ko boss ko. Nadinig ko yung isang kausap ko na "I can't understand what that bloke is blabbing about... the accent man, the accent".... tapos binaba ko na yung Skype call.

    Feeling ko nadiscriminate ako... Imagine, nagwo-work na ako dito sa States ng 4-5 years. ALam ko iba ang accent ng American English sa British English pero it does not mean na hindi nagmi-make sense ang sinasabi ko. Mataas ang grade ko sa IELTS (pwera lang writing hehehehe!)

    Nalungkot ako sa nangyari but I just shrug it off. Affected pa din ako ngayon pero iniisip ko it's their lost, not mine. :D

    Saka ang plan ko pa naman ay next year na lang pupunta doon so parang OK lang.

    Pero grabe ang discrimination eh noh.
