Hello, sharing my reflections on how I migrated to Australia with my family last year on a VISA 189 as a mechanical engineer.

Thank you for sharing your experience through your VLOG, keep posting more for everybody's reference!
Are you still doing sales until now? What are the other VISA Type you can suggest that doesn't need that much requirements sir? Any tips for anyone that's just starting to plan? Salamat po!

Hello @erwayne yes sales pa rin ang napuntahan kong job. HVAC pa rin ibang company lang. Same position ko din ito sa Pinas. Meron akong new post tungkol naman sa point system at ano pwedeng diskarte ngayong mataas na ang pts required. Search mo ako sa fb pwede tayo chika doon pero dito sa pinoyau ay napakarami din naman tumutulong at nasagot ng walang bayad gaya sa agent. Ito pala link sa new video ko:

Tambay ka lang sa Immi website ng Australia marami ka mababasa dun.

Other visa types na familiar sakin pwede mo explore is Visa 491 at Visa 482.

Salamat sir sa tips and advice, mahirap magpa asses iba kasi yung course ko sa Job Experience ko but 10 years din naman sa Drafting yun. Visa 482 na lang siguro ang pag asa ko kung sakali...

Hi everyone,

We are making the big move to Australia early next year. Me and hubby got a positive assessment as civil engineer from EA. Currently working as RTO in singapore. Since ung experience namin is mostly sa site supervision, question ko po is mahirap ba makahanap ng work as site/project engineer sa Australia especially for a lady? May requirements po ba before makawork sa construction site dun? May nabasa ako na required ang white card sa construction sector dun?

Thanks and Stay safe!

Medyo mahirap maka hanap ng work. Yes white card is mandatory mostly for construction jobs. Madali lang naman kumuha ng white card, 130aud 1day course. Pero kalimitan ng work need nila atleast may local experience. Tsambahan lang din. Pero pasa lang ng pasa makaka kuha din.

Good luck to your journey.

I think medyo ok ang outlook for civil eng sa Australia due to government projects in the pipeline for economic recovery efforts post covid. This is based sa reports ng EA with their discussions with their government.

Last year I got a couple of interviews via phone. Kaso nung nalaman na nandito ko sa pinas, sabi kontakin ko daw sila pagdating ko dun. Ewan lang. Pero sa design kasi ako, civil/structural.

All the best

@maderaka challenging ang environment ng site supervision dito unlike sa SG or Pinas. dito sa AU kung nasa site ka dapat hands-on at handang maging marumihan sa work. di rin porket engineer ka ay igagalang ka ng mga tao sa site, kailangan makontrol mo ang mga tao mo at maipakita na may skills/knowledge ka sa work para sundin.

maderaka · August 2020

Thanks sa mga inputs po @icomanman and @engineer20 . At least im getting ideas Pano ang project sites sa Australia. 😊

Gud eve.I am newly on this tread.. Im Electronic Engineer in the Philippines. I am migrating here in australia because my partner work here and plan to make a living. Do I need to become a member of Engineers Australia and make an assestment before I can apply for a job? thanks.

moypalaboy2 · August 2021

Matagal na pala to na thread. Tanong ko lng po mga sir. pag mag apply ka sa company nakalagay kc licensed Engineer. meaning license engineer dito sa Australia? so need ba talga mgpa assest? thanks po sa mga sasagot..

Hello po, 2 months mahigit na po kami dito sa Canberra Australia ng wife ko. Ako po ay Electrical Engineer at ang background ko experience ko ay Project Management sa Building Design and Construction sa Singapore for 10 years at half year sa Pinas. As of now ay wala pa din akong makuhang work at kahit interview na linya sa career ko ay wala din. Meron po ba dito na taga ACT din na makakagrecommend at tulong. Maraming Salamat po.

It is possible that you do not have the proper qualifications or requirement for the position you are applying for. Example: you are applying for a position with an engineering title but the company requires you to have an engineering degree (usually for local applicants) or chartered engineer (for migrants).

Additionally, you might be applying for a position that is still a bit advance for you since you have no local experience. You might need to downshift for now and just advance later on.

Also, if you have tons of experience previously, avoid very long CV. Just keep it short making sure your duties and responsibilities match the requirements of the company.

Hello good pm. I just arrived 3 weeks ago here in Sydney on 190 visa and actively submitting na rin ng mga applications sa seek at indeed, though sa first week nag feeling tourista muna at nag processed ng TFN, bank at medicare, at naghanap din ng temporary accommodation.
Ilang weeks po kadalasan nag rereply ang mga recruiter dito sa mga job portals? Engineering background pero working sa mga shared services at data management ang nature ng mga experience so pwede na rin sa data entry. May mga nakikita akong job postings sa fb groups like pinoys in Sydney. Ano kaya ang signs na legit ito at hindi scam? Any tips po at red flags na babantayan? Madami kasi dun for example hotel assistants, data entry, pero parang mga dummy account lang yong nagpost. Pasensya maraming tanong, pagkatapos ng madugong visa processing isang madugong laban naman para sa job hunting. Any tips to survive the job hunting phase are highly appreciated.

Hello mga kabayan. Just reaching out to anyone already based in Aus who's looking for work. We have multiple engineering positions available across Australia (and NZ). Mostly civil and electrical related.

Parang babawasan pa sya ng tax at super. 7 years experience ko sa Pinas at same lang sya sa position na inaplayan ko sa Sydney. Napaisip din ako pero parang mas okay na rin for survival. Indian yong manager na nag interview.

Solo mo lang ba? Parang ang baba nyan.

Pero ikaw, pwede mo naman patusin, better than nothing at all. Pero kung may makukuha kang mas mataas, mas maganda, given your experience rin. Mataas cost of living e, lalo sa Sydney. Rental pa lang, baka wala na matira dyan.

Kung sarili mo lang issuport mo siguro pwede na yan pang survive nga for a few months while looking for a better opportunity. Pero take note, 24.10aud ang min wage. Super liit ng offer na yan hehe, hindi ka naman entry level na. Wag ka magpa barat lalo na at alam mo naman qualifications mo. Ang rule ko (personally) sa ganyan, mag ask ka na mataas since hindi guaranteed ang malaking increase.

Parang nasa less than 20 aud per hour lang pala rate ko pag minus tax at yong super ( di ko pa natanong to) . Pamasahe pa kc malayo layo at onsite. Single po pero medyo mahal renta lalo na kung room. Kung bedspacer nmn parang mahirap magtiwala lalo na pag di kakilala. Nagtrabaho pa sana yong kahit papano comfortable sana na accomodation

Mga dre at sis, reasonable na siguro to? Tinaasan ng 5k, bali 65,000 AUD na on top pa ang super. Yong work is 3 times a week work from home, at yong pagpunta sa office depende daw sa need kung kailangan pumasok onsite. My 7 years of experience sana ako pero ayon entry level lang yong position na open, yong nakalagay din sa job posting one year experience lang ang required. Iniisip ko rin wala pa akong Australian experience, at yong flexibility, kung ano oras ka mag in, count kalang ng 8 hours para mag clock out, at may time pwede maghanap ng 2nd job or weekend job.

Hello po, thank you. I'm on visa 190. Bali mag 2 months na rin ako nag aapply. Medyo challenging din yong pag apply lalo na pag walang local experience. Yong tumanggap sakin is related sa most recent experience ko sa pinas pero entry level. Thankful din kasi mukhang mababait mga boss.
