    Guys.. ask ko lang.. for example in my case.. i worked in Oz from Dec 2009 to March 2011.. do you guys think mahihirapan ako kumuha ng work? are they still going to put premium on my IT work experience kahit na 2011 pa sya?
    Let's put it this way:

    Q: When was the best time to have migrated to Australia and look for work?
    A: Four years ago

    Q: When will be the 2nd best time to migrate to Australia and look for work?
    A: As soon as possible :)

    March or April ako makikipagsapalaran dyan. Haaayyy nakaka nerbyos. Ok naman kasi kami dito sa States kaso working visa lang kami dito at pahirapan magpa sponsor ng Green Card.
    Sa Canada nag try na rin kau? Mahirap din ba mag apply ng Permanent resident dyan? Yup try nyo dito sa oz mag apply ng PR. Importante talaga Permanent resident visa sa ibang bansa para no worries. Parehas ang benefit na makukuha kapag PR at Citizen dito ang pinagka iba lang di ka puede bumoto at mag work sa defense, pero may government jobs na puede ka mag apply kahit PR ka. Goodluck
    Di na po ako nag try kasi sarado ang applyan po sa Canada nitong taon at magoopen po sila sa May 2013 pa. May PR na po ako sa Australia. :)
    well done... welcome to Australia

    Salamat po. Tanong ko lang po. Ano p yung document requirements na pinasa mo po nung nagapply ka na ng citizenship? Pinakuha ka po ba ulit ng NBI, medical, school records etc...?

    Nagtry na din ako mag-apply online..still here in the US.. sbi ko.. im ready to move anytime...eto ang mga sagot sa akin..

    "Unfortunately this position is open only to those applicants who are presently residing in this country"

    "If your residential circumstances change, please do not hesitate to contact us when you arrive here in Australia as we often recruit for other similar roles. Alternatively, if you already have relocation plans in place, please email me or re-apply detailing your situation (arrival, residential location etc)."

    "Many thanks for your interest, we do realise that it would be ideal to find a position prior to your arrival, however, it is often difficult to do so."
    @lock_code2004, developer ka din po ba? Pwede bang pacopy ng resume mo po?

    I have received a response from the employer na inaapplyan ko, mas mabilis nga po yata talaga kung andun na:

    "I would recommend that you contact me upon your arrival in Australia so that I can gain a better understanding of your requirements. In the event that you already have a working visa, you will need to provide us with a copy of your work visa and any related documents allowing you to work within Australia.

    I look forward to speaking with you in the future."

    Ito po ang laging context ng reply nila sa akin.

    "f your residential circumstances change, please do not hesitate to contact us when you arrive here in Australia as we often recruit for other similar roles. Alternatively, if you already have relocation plans in place, please email me or re-apply detailing your situation (arrival, residential location etc).

    Once again many thanks for your interest, we do realise that it would be ideal to find a position prior to your arrival, however, it is often difficult to do so."

    Pero I decided to stay here in the States muna for a year. Tapos saka na lang muna ako punta ng Australia. Wala naman daw kaso sabi nung DIAC dahil nakapag initial entry date na ako.

    Jobseeker here. Three wks na since dumating kami dito. Pansin ko lang ang response ng employer/recriiter is usually a week or two after the submission of CV, so including the interviews i'd say mga one and a half month ang average timeframe.

    CO and Visa Grant: 9 Oct 2012
    The beginning of the rest of our lives: January 4, 2013

    @polymath yes, seek, indeed.com, LinkedIn, roberthalf. Pero mostly recruitment agencies ang nagpo-post ng job kaya matagal. phone interview nila, then ng actual company, then face to face. Kaya matagal.

    Ok Yung site na binigay ni filipinacpa. Try ko rin later.

    In most jobs, you will see a fine print below the ad where it states something like "this job is available for australian citizens, new zealand citizens and permanent residents..."
