Good Day po,

Meron po ba dito direct hire? Any suggestions po san makakahanap ng employer na nag ssponsor ng visa? Tia.

Ako po directly hired po via Seek. Nagapply ako offshore and currently holding visa 400 with 6 mos validity. By the end of the year or early January before my visa expires, balak po ako i-sponsor ng employer ko ng ens 186 de. Based on my applications sa Seek or any jobsites karamihan po sa mga employers ay gusto may working rights/visa ka na sa Aus. Nakaswerte lang po talaga ako dahil yung employer ko hirap makahanap ng chemist or may science background dito sa area niya kaya niya ako hinire. Another observation ko rin po sa mga fellowmen natin skilled-independent visas ang hawak. Although may mga nakikita rin po ako na 482 ang visa baka sila po may mas magandang maisuggest sa inyo.

hi sven. ano po industry and san po na state? is it regional po ba?

Bale po instrument chemist po ako sa isang soil and water testing lab. NSW po and regional area po.

ahh ok thats good po. kamusta po ang regional areas sa nsw? may PR na ako pero hindi pa ako ang move plan ko din sa regional NSW na malapit sa dagat kasi tahimik at affordable ang bahay hehehe

Nasa Orange po ako ngayon. I can say na maganda po yung area. Di sya katulad ng mga cities na puro hustle and bustle. Generally peaceful area. Affordable naman po mga house na for rent lalo na kapag may kasama po kayo. Although may mangilan pa rin na may kamahalan.

I just submitted applications through Seek and Indeed. I was also offshore when I was doing this. I had no visa whatsoever when I applied. Just 4 years experience in my bag. I tailored my CV and cover letter the best I can. Within 2-3 weeks of constantly sending applications through these jobsites, I got interview offers from 2 companies, one is the current company I'm working for. I also replied to the other company, however, they wanted me to interview personally, which I said I can't since I'm offshore. After that they didn't reply to me anymore. I think to some extent I'm really lucky. Tinanong ko boss ko bat sya nagresort to hiring a migrant, he said na he was having a hard time finding someone na swak sa qualifications and experience na hinahanap niya for the work the employee is expected to do. Another thing na tinanong ko sa kanya is anong preference nya sa pagpili ng employee. Ang sabi niya sakin pag nagsscan siya ng mga CV at nakita niya na ang phone number ay overseas number, he usually skips it already. So he prefers who's actually here already in Aus, which for many employers is the cost-effective thing to do. I know medyo counter intuitive na hinire niya ako since nasa pinas ako nun, but I guess that time he gambled and was desperately needing someone to work for him. I guess it worked for us both. Another thing that I think is very important is networking. Through me, he was able to hire 2 other Filipinos, one is working from home in PH (admin work) and another working casually as a specialist (w/ 482 dependant visa). He's also planning to hire another one through my recommendation which he still is holding off for the moment. He originally offered me 186 visa sponsorship, but we opted to go for 400 instead with the help of another Filipino who's working part-time for him and knowing 186 will take months before it gets granted. Now, I'm already in BVA and just hoping in few months time I get my 186 granted as well. Good luck po in your job hunting! I think marami pong opportunities satin as Chemists here in Aus. Just don't lose hope and patience in finding one.
