Calling all Bank Employees - dito tayo!

I have been working in the bank for almost 8 years; my first 3 yrs was in a big local banks while I spent more than 4 yrs working for a big British bank based in Singapore.

Hopefully I can still be able to snag a banking job when we move to Melbourne in April but then again I am open to do something new (and maybe even do part-time work and part-time studies to gain both experience and local qualification) - beggars can't be choosers you know! :)

    Used to work in an IT company that provides solutions solely for banking clients when I was still in Manila, then moved to a local bank when I transferred to SG. Now in Telco, but first love ko talaga banking :D . I too am hoping to snag a job in the banking industry pag nakamove sa AU eventually. :)

    May plano po kami na magstudent visa. Ako applicant then si wifey dependent. Magvocational course ako on finance or business then magbridging si wifey. Possible kaya un sir?

    Sorry po madami tanong! Salamat :)

    There is a separate thread on RNs in Australia...

    I think this would be the best thread to find answer to your query. Goodluck!!
