    @icebreaker1928 usually nasa front page ng CSOL yung current market rate. Kung hindi pa naman gipit you could look for other options muna

    Stolich18-sis, you are correct. Outsourced kya mas maliit. Actually na tv na yan issue na yan several times na bakit nakalusot sa government. Ang nangyari kasi maraming nagrereklamo na locals (Aussie) na they cant land a job due to that. Naaagawan mo sila ng trabaho.

    @Sushigurl,

    ano ang ibig sabihin ng "outsourced" in terms of working sa Australia na?

    alam mo ba kung iwasan ang mga ganitong "outsourced" work?

    Reply to @freelancer_babe: Ibig sabihin e, a company sent off the same job oversea for a lower cost. Jobs such as but not limited to; customer service, IT supports. Example, earlier this year: A big bank (Westpac) lay off thousands of its employees kasi ni outsourced nila to India and Ph. Earlier this week, nakita ko sa news, mining jobs sa Queensland, inadvertised sa Thailand. dadalhin yung mga employee rto, but yung rate nila hindi Australian rate. say ang sweldo nila 2k aud, free accommodation, maski tayong pinoy we will grab it dba? e ang bayad for the same post will take a company say around 5k a month. O dba, ang laki ng tipid nila. As of now, loophole yan sa migration rules at pinag aaralan na ng govt.

    Reply to @stolich18: Thanks po for the information provided. I must say na helpful po talaga ang mga tao dito sa forums.

    By the way I have a Bachelor's degree in Accounting but i haven't worked as an accountant. Instead, i accepted I.T. jobs (major career shift :), hotskills daw po kasi nung time na yon when i started job hunting back 2006.

    Mas more on Functional side yung line ng work meaning more on client facing, Business Process reenginering, implementation and SAP Application Support, as compared to SAP Abaper (which primarily deals with SAP Codes and programming language) .

    Palagay niyo po ba fit yung "ANZCO Code 261112 Systems Analyst" for me? since na mention po yung SAP SAP business software applications under example knowledge and technical requirements ng code na ito? :)

    Also yung COE from my 2 former employers ko po kasi generic lang yung nakalagay na position and then duties and responsibilities were not included as well. Baka po i reject yon ng ACS. Papaano po kaya yung pwedeng gawin?

    Thanks po ulit and God Bless :)

    Reply to @buyie: 5 pts po ang additional kung may skills assessment ang secondary applicant...
    so kung mataas namn na ang points ng primary eh pwde ng hindi..

    kung mag papa-skills assessment ang secondary, required po ang IELTS..
    kung hindi nmn mag papa-assess, eh pwede na po ang cert of english as medium of instruction kung college graduate.. otherwise, kailangan ng IELTS score 4.5 kung walang diploma ang secondary applicant..

    Reply to @buyie:
    Hindi na kailangan if hindi kayo magcclaim ng additional points (5 pts.) for partner skills. Ang kailangan lang ay Diploma and English as Medium of Instruction na certificate for your wife para no need to take English courses in AU once may CO na ma-assign (before visa grant). Basically, need to prove pa rin kase yung English competency ng spouse and that is via the diploma and Medium of Instruction. :-)

    Hi guys, newbie lang po.
    Hingi lang po sana ng advice kung ano ang best option ko po to work in Oz.
    Less than 3years lang po ang work experience ko and I have an Aunt in Canberra who's willing to sponsore me. What type of visa po ba ang pinakabagay sakin? Student visa lang po ba? IT po pala ang profession ko.
    Maraming salamat po sa mga sasagot and good luck sa inyong applications. :)

    @emboon Ang pagkakaalam ko atleast 4years of experience kapag nagpa assess ka sa ACS. itry mo icheck sa site nila kung nagbago na. pero nung nag paassess ko 4years solid experience kelangan. May ka officemate ko 3years din, pero hindi inapprove.

    http://www.acs.org.au/

    Icheck mo na lang diyan sa site kung ano latest.. kung may nagbago ba or kung pasok ka naman.

    Sa skills assessment pala to, pag sa student visa hindi mo na siguro kelangan mag pa assess.
