    @imau Hi so far dito sa qld medyo mahirap maghanap ng work lalo na pag walang "local experience". Ako inabot ako ng almost 9 months before ako makahanap ng draftsman job sa archi firm. During the 9 months na wala ako permanent job nag apply ako sa ubereats as delivery partner just to gain a little bit of local experience kasi hirap din makapasok sa mga odd jobs dito lalo na wala naman ako experience sa customer service.

    Take note na kadalasan hinahanap nila dito is my local experience na may alam sa mga building at construction codes nila (unless na magaling ka sumagot sa interview na kaya mo sila paniwalain na kahit paano eh may alam ka sa codes nila.

    about sa sahod naman... ang average sahod ng draftsman is from $40k to $60k depende sa skills at experience mo (autocad, revit, archicad, 3d presentations, project management.. etc).

    Yung samen niretain ung job title na junior architect pero ung JD naka-base sa archi draftsperson sa ANZSCO. Ok naman sya sa vetassess.

    Pwede ka gumawa ng Statutory Declaration if ayaw magbigay ng COE ng old company mo, pero dapat meron kang maipepresent na mga payslip or contract.
