Hi, I'm holding a 457 Visa, dependent sa husband ko. I have to quit my job in Singapore in a telecommunication company, call center environment, para magkasama kmi dito. 1 month na po ako dito and ngayon lng po ako mg sisimula mg apply :)

Any advice po from our kababayans here in melbourne? Customer service or technical support officer po kasi target ko. Salamat at mabuhay ang mga pinoy.

    Just ended my customer service stint with a healthcare company in Mulgrave (hanglayo kasi!). Had an interview this morning with Stellar BPO in Box Hill. Salmat is also a huge call centre company in CBD. Good luck!

    @jck29 I hold visa 190. May open day interview ang Stellar. Ask them kung kailan ang next, there's no need to wait for an invite.

    Not related but I reckon it would be better if you guys apply for customer service rather than in call center , TPG, Optus and Telstra's call center are sourced overseas so I dont think you can find a vacancy for a Call center

    Google for Everything !!!
