@emjdee @sheryl0126 and ya sure I'd like that ang boring kasi kwentuhan muna amp. how do we do this? pm na lang ng number if you guys don't mind para ma schedule. I think that asian store on central market is called Thuan Phat supermarket emjdee. To be exact, nasa 4-6/75 Grote St. SA 5014. I know this coz a few days ago I bought Nagaraya there hahaha! Man I hope you guys are luckier kasi 1 month and a week na rin ako wala pa job but recently I was invited to visit ASAP(Australia Sales and Promotions) sa may South Terrace. As usual I had experience with this recruitment centers and all they did was introduce who they are and their clients and say they'll just call if one of their companies take interest sa resume mo. Direct sales daw anyways still waiting but not expecting much. Kwento ko na lang the rest in person see you guys

sohc

Padami ng padami mga taga SA ah. What if we create a group in FB like Pinoy Adelaide?

redsin87

@sohc haha pwede rin why not? im sure wala pang 50% of the pinoy population in SA are here in the forums pero its a start

donking

@Bolants... nagopen ka na ba ng Aussie bank account? wat preferred mo?

rbolante

@donking hello promoter! wachap? di pa pre dun na ako mago-open pagdating ko dun. dalhin ko na lng muna ung pera ko in cold cash. baka sa NAB ako mag-open or Westpac kasi dun nagwo-work ang sis-in-law ko. ikaw ano balak mo?

white_grin

hello guys and gals

i just received good news that my PR application has been approved. im planning to move Q1 2013. i have high hopes. kaya lang when I look at seek job search engine there's only a few...
then, when i checked the http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/business/states-leading-in-jobless-rate-rise/story-e6frede3-1226424381264 in Adelaide, i was alarmed a little.

for those in IT particularly Software Testing, kamusta po ba ang industry at markets nowadays?

rbolante

i find this alarming as well. at sa SA pa talaga natapat. tsk tsk. as for other members here, i think @sohc has something to share about this. from what i've read in his posts it's the contrary.

nylram_1981

@white_grin pareho tayo, yan din ang worry ko, i was really hesitant to apply for SA SS before kasi nga sa totoo lng,,wala akong makitang job for me sa seek, meron man iisang butil minsan. eh eto namang husband ko puede sana sa 189 pero paiyakan naman kami sa ielts, daming kesyo, ako gustong gusto kong lumayas ng pinas, so ako ang gumawa ng paraan.

sabi naman ng tita ko sa sydney, wag ko n daw intidihin yan mga nababasang kong ganyan, ang importante eh makarating kami dyan ng legal. so gow gow ako sa SA SS, luckily granted naman.

tumitingin ako centrelink website ng SA, meron akong nakitang mga jobs dun kahit seksitary ok na,,meron pa nga sa qantas, ground crew,,ok n ko dun if ever wala talagang makuhang work sa linya ko,importante, matapos ung 2yrs moral obligation para walang problema pag nag-apply ng citizenship,,hehe

sohc

About the increase in unemployment rate, yes this is true. Our company also made some recent changes in the organization. One of our manufacturing site was almost shut-down because of Asian imports. They say importing from China is way cheaper than building the item in Australia.

Regarding the employment, seek.com.au will answer that question. I just browsed seek.com.au and found a lot of IT jobs. It is just a matter of qualifications, approach, luck and attitude.

This was my job hunting history:

March 7 - Signed contract at Royal Adelaide Hospital. Start date is March 13 because 12 is public holiday.

March 9 - Counter offer at Glenunga International High School. I asked them to move the contract signing from March 13 to March 14. I then emailed Orana Inc. (another company) that I have a contract signing at March 14 by 1:00PM

I also emailed Royal Adelaide that I will withdraw my employment.

March 14 - Received a call at 9:00am from Orana Inc. and later on emailed Glenunga that I will withdraw the contract signing.

March 15 - Manager from Glenunga was calling me on my mobile phone but I didn't answer the phone. Things are getting too complicated.

March 19 - first day at Orana

I am very lucky to have this kind of job hunting experience I experienced this counter offer thing in the Philippines but I never thought it will happen in Au.

rbolante
