For me, as soon as possible. The more you delay, the more opportunities lost.

Sabi nga sa linkedin discussions na nababasa ko, the best time to migrate is NOW. hehehe basically, as soon as possible. Kase paunahan tlga makakuha ng opportunities dito eh.. hehehehe Yun nga lang tlgang may risks din, so be as prepared as possible in all aspects (physically, mentally, emotionally, financially and spiritually) :-) Madami kaseng adjustments din, hindi lang sa work.

thanks sa mga responses guys.. i agree with you all na BEST would be ASAP to move because the earlier the better.. but for the sake of this discussion, let's try to be objective.. set aside yung mga other factors... say in my situation.. i told my friend that we are planning to move by June and he said that agahan daw namin before June kasi winter na daw ang June, baka mabigla daw kami since galing ng tropical weather..

If you were given a chance to choose which month all year round setting aside job opportunity, what month would you choose and why?

JCsantos

July is the best month for me, jan lumalabas ang mga trabaho end of financial year

Errrr start of financial year

we moved april because we chose to spend 3 months back home in the the phils with our family; of course kasama na rin side trips here and there in between january to march...

was it a good time? yeah i would think so... it was autumn so paunti unti ang adjustment ng katawan namin towards winter. jobwise, parang okey naman as we were able to start working within 2 months from initial entry.

with respect to job though, i would say swertihan talaga ito. do your part to make your CV noticeable and leave it to faith and prayers...

Gori

as in NOW na para matapos na!

what's best for one might not be best for the others...
it really depends on several factors...

a) weather - consider yung adjustment sa climate (exp galing sa middle east na sobrang init tapos lipat by July na sobrang lamig naman dito).. sympre maglalakad sa labas, mamasyal, job hunting, hanap ng bahay.. etc... hirap din magkasakit habang naghahanap ng work diba.. isipin din ang clothing.. sympre pag wala ka pa winter clothes eh bibili ka talga..

b) start of school for kids - kung may mga bata, mas okay mag move sa start ng school year..
athough mabilis lang nmn pumasok mga bata sa school kahit sa middle ng school year, pero sympre baka ma pressure ang bata sa change of environment/classmates/language.. etc

c) job hunting - affected by financial cycle, season or holidays... although sabi nila konti ang hiring towards the end of the year dahil maraming holidays... marami namang part-time/casual positions na pwede iconsider sa service/retail/hospitality industries...

d) for me, my main consideration was my Visa Expiration, i moved immediately para bago mag-end ang visa validity, eh masatisfy ko na ang citizenship requirements..

i moved July.. at nagkasakit ako ng 2weeks dahil sobrang lamig.. kahit na sabihin ko na sanay ako sa winter.. .. eh summer kasi ang July sa pinanggalingan ko.. so yung biglang palit ng weather iba talaga... my main consideration was my Visa

bow!

Kami naman April last week nagmove dito. Autumn yun pa-winter. Actually sumunod family ko mga first week of June. Our only consideration: land before the Initial Entry Date and of course baon. hehehe Yun lang tlga eh. Otherwise we can move in anytime naman kase nga hinahabol din namin magkatrabaho agad. Before entering Au, we were trying to apply for several jobs, I got one phone interview pero overqualified daw ako. Tska hindi tlga nila preferred hiring offshore (although pag sobrang rare/niche skill, kinukuha yan minsan)..

1st week of December para sa akin para makaiwas sa Pasko sa Pinas - laking tipid bwahahaha!

rams

Guys, kung November ba sa tingin nyo ok lang? May makuha kaya akong trabaho before December holidays? Naisip ko kasi imbes na umuwi ako ng Pinas ng december at maglustay ng pera eh di agahan na lang punta sa AU..

bookworm

@rams, ako, ang iniisip ko, before October, or January na. Kasi baka di na nga ako makakita ng work, malungkot pa kasi di kasama family. Technically, maglulustay ka din ng pera kasi gagastusan mo ang rental mo dun, at pagkain, etc etc.

Pero kanya kanyang opinyon yan db?

rams

@bookworm, may point ka dyan hehe.. most probably mga january mas ok..

We talked with a recruiter here who eventually became a friendly acquaintance. Based on his suggestion and observation of the annual trend of hiring ng mga companies, the best time to look for a job in Sydney, at least, is between End of May to early July. Fiscal year is wrapping up during these times so may panibagong budget ang mga companies, more opportunities for employment. Worst daw is during the summer or those months close to December na until early January. Other months, steady lang. Pero yan daw ang mga peak and lowest times of the year for hiring.

kremitz

Pansin ko nga based sa mga openings sa seek na madami tlga nung may job opportunities.like yung iba immediate start pa.

Helo po,

Pahingi naman ng advice. Me and hubby are both external auditors, kakagrant lang ng Visa naman (Yey!!). Our last day of work in SG is on July. We plan na magpahinga muna sa Pinas. Based on advice by my previous colleagues, sabi nila ang hiring season daw for our profession is on March -May (year-end) at October - Dec (interim). So ang dilemma namin ay whether punta na ng AU sa October at hindi na magwork sa Pinas or work muna sa Pinas then move na lang on March 2015. For sure kasi mas madami hiring for year-end, however, iniisip namin, baka matambay lang kami sa Pinas and pag magkawork, mawawala na yung mas mataas na "last drawn salary" namin sa SG..

Pahingi naman po advice.. TIA!

dhey_almighty

is august the best time to come to oz? job hunting wise?! :-)

Last by 3rd week of august ang expiration ng visa namin...so parang last two minutes ang pagpunta namin ng oz...hehe

JCsantos

@catajell

even though there is a season for jobs you will never know until you try, for me I would go as soon as possible , or whether you are comfortable enough, my wife and a mate of mine went here in the months of october and february but still manage to find jobs

moonwitchbleu

@catajell nung nagplan pa lang kami ni hubby,initial plan is may or june pa kami pupunta dito and sabay. but we decided na ma una cya and the soonest kasi every day is a new opportunity and if patatagalin pa namin ang daming opportunities na possibling masayang, so he went here Feb instead while ako continue muna sa work in SG to support us financially. thank God naman my hubby arrived here at the right time and got a job on that week of his arrival. Since dito din naman kayo pupunta and plan nyo mag relax lang sa pinas, why not come here the soonest para naman ma enjoy nyo ang aussie at the same time makapag job hunting malay nyo you will get lucky and land a job agad.

catajell

Awww... salamat po sa advice @moonwitchbleu at @JCsantos ! Icoconsider talaga namin mga sinabi nyo.. excited nako! hehe

@JCsantos, @mhej same din sa South Au/Adelaide na July ang end of fin year? So if October, not advisable po?

wizardofOz

Plano ko sana January 2016 Big Move.... In terms of Job Hunting... Good Move ba ito?

Sydney pala ako

fyi_12

almost same tayo ng plan^ although kami Dec 27/28 ang napupusuan, parang gusto ko dito na muna sa pinas mag christmas..and then New Year sa Sydney. dagdag drama effect..new year, new city..new lives hahaha

ang worry ko lang is hindi ba masyado risky on our part since deadline ng IED namin is January 8, 2016? kung agahan naman namin ng November, baka magaya sa kakilala ko na inabutan ng holiday break kaya wala daw masyado job postings. eventually, nag start sya work march.

We can't leave earlier kase hinihintay ko din yun bonus pag Nov sa current company kase malaki din yun maitutulong nun sa pocket money namin.

Tingin ko wala naman problema basta before your IED requirement, nakapasok na kayo ng Oz.

Yup maganda yung New Year sa Sydney, yun nga lang if magh-hotel muna kayo, medyo mahal ang accommodation or kaubusan ng rooms kaya need to reserve ahead.

Ako naman, I need to activate my NAB account before January 7, 2016 kaya mga January 3 siguro ako tutulak papuntang Australia hehe
