    @KMA and @mrkanncpa nagpassessed ako sa CAANZ, kasi may agent din ako, when I completed my documents it took less than a week, then lumabas na yung favourable response. Goodluck!

    @tobz Wow sobrang bilis naman ng assessment sayo sir! Combined assessment ba yan, yung Qualifications and Skilled Employment? Nakalagay kasi sa site nila pag combined assessment 6weeks ang processing time e. Ganda siguro ng timing mo nagawa nila agad :D

    if you are an accountant, it makes me wonder why you would want to opt for the student visa route when baka pwede naman mag PR na...

    @Ms_Kay04 madaming mga PR na na nahirapan sa pag hahanap nag work. how much more kong student visa. pero wala naman impossible malay mo iba ang kapalaran mo. bihira din yung mga naka kakuha ng employer to sponsor them lalo na sa profession natin kasi mas madaming mga andun na na naghahanap ng same work. prefer ng employer syempre yung mga taga doon. again u can try applying offshore if you want.

    @ambry have you tried taking the CPA pathway for AU. May mga ka tie up ang CPAA na university wherein yung course mo is pattern sa subjects to be taken para sa CPA exams.

    IF CPA ka sa pinas pede ka mag pa member sa CPAA anytime. once assoc member ka na yung professional level subject na lang kukunin mo. mga 6 subjects na lng.

    Hello guys! Its very inspiring to read this thread lalo na yung success stories ng job hunting. Mostly nga lang ng nabasa ko dito nasa Syd or Melby. Nasa SA kami ngayon, since April 16. I started sending resume nung April 28 kasi yung first and second week namin, nag ayos muna ng IDs and pasyal. So almost 1 month na ngayon from the time I started job hunting. Nasa 17 companies na ang pinagsendan ko. Some companies NR, some sent me rejection emails and meron 2 na nashortlist ang resume ko. Yung isa dun, evaluate daw ulit and wait for another email within 2 weeks and yung isa naman, pinagproceed na ako with online exams.

    Honestly, hindi ko inexpect na mahihirapan ako makahanap ng work kasi nung nsa pinas pa, marami akong nakikitang job vacancies dito for Accountants. Well, sadly marami rin nga palang students dito and migrants na Accountants kaya stiff din ang competition.

    Nung una, pinipili ko pa yung mga jobs na inaaplyan ko. Pero ngayon, basta accounting or external audit role kahit entry level, contractual or part time, nag sesend ako resume. Basta magkaron lang ng local experience. Kahit yung mga jobs na nasa malayong suburbs, inaapplyan ko na rin. Ok lang kahit magrelocate kami basta magkaron lang ng work.

    Staying positive and keepng our faith. :)

    Hi Guys! Been looking for work for more than 2 months now. Got some interviews (phone and face-to-face) but still didn't have my 'break' yet.

    I studied MYOB with TAFE so as to increase my chances of landing a job, but unfortunately until now, oh well, still jobless.

    Has anyone tried working for charities to do fundraising? $25 per hour plus Super sounds nice and decent. Plus, the accounting market here in SA is quite tough, really tough.

    Thanks.

    Just an update guys.. Already have my job offer!! God is so good!
    After 1.5 months, I have found a permanent full time job. The first employer who contacted me for interview, sila din yung nag hire sa akin. I will need to relocate since medyo malayo sa city yung workplace ko. But the suburb is parang mini city na rin kaya sobrang happy na namin.

    Napansin ko lang, yung 2 employers na nagcontact sa akin for job interview, they are both located sa suburbs that are not within the CBD. I think, medyo kaunti ang competition in those places kaya nagkaron na rin ako chance for an interview. Syempre, the employers are also looking at your qualifications. Pero hindi masyadong dehado kahit na walang local experience.

    Sa amin naman, ok lang kahit malayo and magrelocate kami kasi hindi pa rin naman kami established. We are just renting a room malapit sa CBD. So good opportunity na rin yung magrelocate kami pra magkaron na kami ng sariling house to rent and we can have a good start. :)

    @harryalbeldaofw nasa SA ka rin pala.. san ka po dito? Try mo apply sa mga suburbs not within the cbd.. baka sakali makuha mo na ang big break mo. I really feel you. super tough talaga ng accounting jobs dito. Pero I believe na meron at meron pa rin talaga tayong makukuha. Patience lang at maraming prayers.

    @pink Hello po, and salamat sa motivation. Dito po kami sa Mawson Lakes area. Gusto ko po sanang i-consider yung ibang towns here in SA, pero nandito po kasi parents and siblings ko kaya pinipilit ko na lang sana within the vicinity. Ang hirap nga lang po talagang makuha yung 'local experience' na hinihingi nila. Almost 2 1/2 months na din po ako dito, pero nag-study ako sa TAFE ng local taxation, payroll at MYOB. Baka sakaling makatulong.

    Congrats po pala sa new job!!!! And I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying SA, plus the cold weather. :D

    Hopefully, magka-roon na din ako ng break.
