@zhaen npansin ko lang bakit wala masyado bus sa canberra? Mahirap ba mag-commute? Last year I visited my cousin so may ngpasyal samin, what if gusto mag settle sa Canberra at wala muna car?

zhaen

meron naman bus from suburbs to suburbs or interchange to interchange may mga time sila Kaylan darating pero karamihan dito may car talaga. ang may mga designated stop areas sila.

guenb

@zhaen is there like a Canberra Business district? where usually nandon yung offices, kind of like Sydney CBD. Anu yung malapit na suburbs dun? Thank you sa info.

zhaen

@guaenb mostly kasi dito sa Canberra mga public servants. this is the capital city of Australia and mga government offices is scattered every town areas. but our CBD is the main business district for public and private sectors. kong sa mga trades industry naman meron sa fyshwich .. maliit lang ang Canberra pero tahimik and peaceful dito

@zhaen hi there! i hope everything goes well with my student visa application so I can make it for the August 2016 intake at the University of Canberra. I hope to meet you by then because I will be needing help with my accommodation and job hunting.

madali na yan kasi mag take ka nman ng learners exam at pwede ka mag try ng driving lesson kahit 1-2 hours medyo makakabisado mo na. Based on my experience travelling in Canberra mukhang hindi naman complicated yung roads as compared dito sa Melbourne lalo na sa City. Sa Sydney medyo mahirap2 kasi nakakalito yung roads.

iamminmin07

jeka25

magandang araw po sa inyo,,tanong ko lang po kung paano ako makakahanap ng work dito sa canberra,,pwede po ba mag walk in?..halos napasahan ko na ung mga ads sa seek..thanks

heycoachputmein

@jeka25 anong job industry ba related ang skill mo?

jeka25

@heycoachputmein sa construction po ako C&S, M&E drafter po..

heycoachputmein

@jeka25 Network / or Referral ang no. 1 mahalaga , secondary ang skills (sad but true).
walk in is good but remember if you dont know anyone on that site/area, eh baka maging 'intruder' or outsider ang tingin sayo.

Just be mindful how you approach your 'walk in' strategy, pasimplehan mo lang na kunwari nag iikot ikot ka or something....then make friends make connections...

also there are two path to apply thru agent or thru employer itself, so just make sure you are aware how to talk/communicate between the two of them.

jeka25

@heycoachputmein maraming salamat po,,sa ngayon po sa mga company website muna ako tumitingin..at sana meron sumagot..

Hello there... madali ba makahanap ng accommodation sa canberra. Ano ba mga required docs and did you pay upfront. Don sa mg 1st timers paano kayo nagrent. May mga nag aaccept ba kahit wala pa work. Hindi ba sila humihingi ng proof of income? Mga ganu katagal makakuha ng accomodation?

HolaLola

taken na ang room pero meron ako alam na naghahanap ng ka house share, gaano katagal ba sa tingin mo ang stay mo? Sa Canberra/Queanbeyan ba ang plan mo? Meron sa Sydney, sa Campbelltown 1 room, via Sydney Airport train line.

momnijosh08
