@momnijosh08 Hi, was just reading previous posts and was wondering kung may napasukan na po kayo? Yung wife ko din mejo nahihirapan. Sa finance din experience nya and nasa Hervey Bay kami, mas regional. We figured na most of the people really do odd jobs. Hindi kinakahiya dito kahit ano. Which I personally like kasi walang magiging discrimination regardless of what you do. Kaya for now she works in a small restaurant hoping one day na she'd land a more appropriate job related to her profession.

@dy3p hi. Wala pa din. Isa kami sa pinaka chinallenge ni Lord dito sa QLD. Kahit odd jobs wala for my hubby..job mismatch siguro kasi.

What I can suggest.. since you are working na baka you can save some para sa mga training. Or check mo may mga govt subsidized trainings baka meron related para maupgrade qualification nyo.
And per recruitment agencies... most of the coy naghahanap daw talaga ng oz experiemce regardless if odd job ito basta experience working here plus na talaga yon.

Sige goodluck sa atin sa journey na ito.

Hello po mga Brissy people. Ako din nahihirapan mag hanap ng work kahit may experience ako sa Pinas. Kahit odd jobs wala pa din akong swerte. Anyways, sabi nila habang may buhay may pagasa!

Hi! Agree ako kay @momnijosh08 re: training to get oz qualification, kahit short course lang sa TAFE or other RTOs. In my case, yung course na kinuha ko was quite basic & ang laking subsidy from the government so I didn't pay much. Dito sa Queensland, if you don't have any Cert III/IV qualifications, they encourage you to take to enhance skills & improve employability kaya subsidised.

& may mga programs na kasama yung Work Experience where they help you connect with potential employers, train in the company for a couple of weeks (without pay), but if they like you, most companies would hire you na afterwards. You can still continue applying for jobs while you're taking the course (usually 3 days lang per week considered full time course na), and if you get a job during the course, may option to continue in the workplace, that is, kung related yung course sa nakuha mong job.

Sobrang win-win. Instead of waiting around at home for calls for interviews, you're learning or refreshing your knowledge, getting around & interacting with locals, & you get local qualification & a potential job in the end.

^May mga posting sa seek na mga administration assistant or graduate position kung office environment ang hanap mu. Pag nakuha mu na yung sched mu sa uni, i-presenta mu lng sa employer and they'll work around your sched. May mga call centre type of work din kung yun ang trip mu.

dy3p

Uso din dito yung may “kakilala”. Malaking tulong yan lalo na pag lumaki na network mo. They are very particular with ones character references as well. Tatawagan talaga nila. One of the reasons why they hire someone na may work exp na dito.

Hi mga taga Brisbane... mag three months na kami dito wala pa din masungkit na trabaho... ilan buwan ba dapat bago makadale? Any tips para sa amin na bagong dating...

shrinx29

Marie

@shrinx29,
matanong lang po, pamilyar po ba kyo sa civil 3D program?

shrinx29

@Marie hindi po ako nakahawak pa nun, un tumawag sa akin kahapon un din daw kelangan sayang nga un na lang ok na daw. Kelangan ko pa mag aral nun dito, sa SG kase autoCAD or microstation gamit sa civil works.

jmfrost

Hi po! Papunta pa lang ako ng brisbane in August. Is it a good time to jobhunt at this time? For archi draft po. Under visa 190.

Hi everyone. Magtatanong lang po ako regarding sa accomodation pagdating sa Oz(Brisbane), we are family of 3(2adults)+1child. Is it possible na makapa-apply na ng isang flat while nasa pinas pa? Para pagdating sa Oz may matutuluyan na. Pano ang ginawa nyong diskarte? Salamat sa magsshare.

agentKams

@Lrac i believe not possible, kasi required ang viewing before you can actually apply for a property. not unless you have someone who can act on your behalf.

Lrac

@agentKams Pano ba magandang diskarte? Air bnb muna or hotel for the 1st week at least? Thanks.

agentKams

@Lrac try looking for short term accomodation. air bnb would be ok too. i would suggest, download application forms, prepare the requirements para pagdating niyo dito, when you go for viewing at magustuhan niyo property, you can submit instantly. 24 hrs turnaround lang naman iyong approval provided you have completed all checks.

@Lrac posible naman un, ganun ang ginawa ko. Two weeks before ng flight namin nakahanap na ako ng flat dito. Nag hanap ako thru realestate.com ng available na flat/house once dumating kami. Sulatan mo lang un agent na kung kelan ang dating mo tapos mag apply ka and willing ka kamo accept un unit / house as is. Dalawa ang anak ko 3&5yo mahal mag airbnb.

Lrac

Hi @shrinx29. Ok. Ano ba normal arragements/requirements sa mga agents? Thanks.

shrinx29

@Lrac points system pa din kahit sa pag rent kelangan mabuo mo un 100 points (passport, Birth cert 70points, telephone, utilities bills 25pts, proof of income etc). Nun nag apply ako unemployed na ko kaya nagbigay na lang kami ng bank statement sinabi ko na lang maghahanap din ako work pagdating dito. Medyo risky kase pictures lang makikita mo sa website nila. ipa-inspect mo kung may kakilala ka na dito o kaya mag service apartment na lang muna kayo fully furnished na yun.

Lrac

@shrinx29 salamat sa info.

@jmban33 civil/structural draftsperson ako madami naman tumatawag kaso hanap nila may local experience. Ikaw anong line ng work mo?

Lrac

@agentKams Sorry for late rply. Thanks for the infos. San ko nga pla pde idownload ang mga forms? And roughly ano yung mga dapat namin bayaran to get a 1 bedroom house? Thanks.

Lrac

@agentKams Sorry pahabol po. Online application at online payment lang ba to get a 1 bedroom house? Or we need to drop by sa realty office? We are planning to move in Towoomba.

jmban33

@shrinx29nice kahit papano nakakuha ka rin ng line of work mo here in brissy... line of work ko is rnd eng'g

agentKams

@Lrac may mga forms sa website ng mga realtor, you can also call them so they can send you. normally 4 weeks bond + 2 weeks rent in advance nirerequire nila.

For the application you can scan and send, then wait for 24-48 hours sa pagprocess ng papers, pag approve then settlement na. Sang suburb po plano niyo magsettle here?

Hello guys.. I'm planning to move in Brisbane in September. In demand po kaya ang occupation ko? Medtech po ako sa laboratory field.

Plan ko rin po mag search ng odd jobs pra habang wla pa pra sa field ko meron pa rin income na pambayad sa mga expenses. About po sa mga odd jobs may idea po ba kayo panu gumawa ng resume? Baka kc mahirapan din ako makahanap ng odd jobs kc malayo sa work experience ko.. Salamat
