edited January 2013 in Working in Australia
Hi. May nakapagsabi kasi sa akin na mamili na raw ako ng damit sa Manila bago ako punta ng OZ dahil mahal daw ang mga damit dun. Ano po ba usually ang office/work attire sa Australia and which attire do you recommend sa pag-aapply ng work? Im an IT professional, arriving Adelaide in March 2013.

Thanks.

    @vphone depende sa company... samen kahit lagi ka maong at t-shirt ok lang...
    pero para sure, magdala ka na rin ng pang formal mo para sa interview kung wala ka pang work.

    Ang general rule: kung walang dress code, one up ka sa style ng office. Kung naka-casual sila, banatan mo ng long sleeve and slacks. Kung semi-formal naman sila, birahan mo ng kurbata tsaka coat.

    Or, blend in ka na lang to be on the safe side. :)

    Pansin ko lang dito sa Melb, hipster pa ring manamit Yung mga office personnel. Sa airport may mamang puro hikaw sa mukha tsaka dreadlocks. Sa Centrelink naman may kalbong mama na may tattoo sleeve on both arms sa info counter. Sa hospital naka-undercut si ate receptionist plus highlights and hikaw sa ilong. Pero very polite and professional sila kahit tiponb mukhang siga ang itsura.

    Merong specific work codes at attire ang karamihang company sa Aussie. Pag nataon pa na field-base ang office na mapasukan, malamang ay orange long sleeves at blue jeans lang ang kakailanganin sa work. Kaya kung di pa sure sa employer, mas magandang wag munang magpanic-buying ng mga gagamitin sa work. Make sure lang na makapagdala ng casual attire na generic gaya ng slacks at polo/long-sleeves at sets ng mga pampersonal at panlakad na kasuotan.

    Ang ibang workplace naman ay may provision for clothing. Yong mga wala, ang empleyado ang bibili pero pagdating ng end of financial year, maki claim naman sa tax return ang mga nabiling gamit pang-trabaho kasama na clothing doon...basta may resibo lang. By the way, marami namang OpShops sa Australia kagaya ng Vinnies, Salvo, Red Cross, etc, na nagbebenta ng mga murang "slightly used items" kung gustong makatipid. Ang mga local Australians nga, minsan naka-short pants at nakapaa lang habang pumapasok sa mga establishment hehe
