Nice! Nakarating ka na safely. Si Josh din ba yung sa front desk ng NAB? Matangkad na kulot ang buhok hehe.
Hmm, di ko sure e, sa Gold coast kami bukas umaga i-tour ng relatives. Pero punta din yata kami sa barrio fiesta sa tanghali o hapon. Kanina sa South banks kami dinala.
Na tick ko na lahat sa list ko except "land a job". job hunt pa din daily task ko. Nakaka dalawang personal interview pa lang ako since landing pero madaming phone interview. Hmm, 2 weeks na pala ko dito. Ang bilis ng araw. Sana mag ka work na agad.

Sa teller ako unang pumunta and then eventually si Josh rin ang nag-take over at nag-assist saakin! Nakakatuwa kasi ang bilis ng sistema at di ka maghihintay ng isang oras sa mga pila hehe.
Sa tingin ko sa Barrio Fiesta natin makikita lahat ng mga Pinoy! Exciting!
Basta mag-persevere sa job hunting at kunin lahat ng pwede! Good sign naman na iniinvite ka for interview, kasi otherwise they wouldn't bother.
Kanina, nakatanggap na ako ng email galing sa employer sa childcare centre kung saan ako nag-attend ng interview and I got the job already. I think sobrang in demand rin kasi ang kindy teacher jobs dito, compared sa schools. Wala akong nakuhang interview at all from a school. Pero okay lang. Looking forward ako to working in a childcare centre.

Add ko rin pala, di ako qualified initially as an Early Childhood Teacher according to Australian standards (na iba rin sa view ng assessment body for migration, ang labo lang haha), so I had to enrol in a Tafe Bridging Program. If you have extra money that you can spare, I think it would help to enrol kahit sa diploma course lang. Wala tayong laban sa Australian local experience, pero at least makakatulong rin na may makita silang Australian qualification sa CV mo somehow.

Yeah, medyo ambagal lang mag-process ng Tafe ng enrolment application so better do it as early as you can.
Onga saglit lang rin kami sa Barrio Fiesta, puro Pinoy food stalls. Eh dahil isang linggo palang akong nandito, hindi ko pa nami-miss ang Pinoy food haha.

Tawag ka sa kanila regarding subsidy. Yung bridging course ko kasi dapat $7000 total pero dahil Queensland resident ako, meron binigay na subsidy tapos $68 lang binayaran ko for the first cluster. Baka eligible ka rin.
For some reason kasi, yung mga ganung information eh hindi nila nilalagay sa website. Gusto nila kausapin and tanungin mo sila about it hehe.

Yeah, laking tulong ng subsidy na yan. And it was even better cause I wasn't expecting it hehehe.
And yes, gusto ko mag-visit sa Melbourne eventually! Kung bongga ang NAB sa Brisbane CBD, siguro mas sosyal sa HQ.
