    Yup may mga nagsuggest din ng volunteer work dito.. although no pay nga lang yun... Pero tlgang tiyagaan lang. :) naku if makakausap nyo dito ang mga migrants na pinoy, grabe iba ibang story nang pinagdaanan. May iba din na sobrang blessed at nakakakuha agad ng work na related sa line of work nila sa Pinas. Meron naman tlgang nahirapan sa umpisa. pero so far lahat naman ng nameet ko in the end, naging maganda ang buhay dito :-)

    Actually pag SAP, feeling ko hindi msyado required ang local experience. Medyo mas may preference lang pero normally pag SAP projects naman nahandle mo, global experience naman un eh. Anyway feeling ko lang naman un. hehehe

    Oo ganon dito, laging urgent requirement. actually pag pasok ka sa inapplyan mo, within less than a week, maooffer-an ka na ng work. Mabilis lang tlga... Ang nakita kong may opening ata SAP FI pero sa melbourne. Basa basa ka lang sa linkedin, check mo ung posts ng mga recruiter heehe kahapon nga may nagmessage sakin na recruiter kaso feeling ko ung job post na yun, para dito sa kung san ako ngwwork ngayon. hehehe

    Yup tlgang risky sa simula kaya need din to prepare for the baon and sabi nga ng iba dito, dapat willing to take any kind of job sa simula... Pero for example may kids naman kyo, pde kayo apply sa centrelink to get an allowance. I understand how you are all feeling, scary tlga sa simula especially nakakadiscourage pag puro rejections/deadma lang ang nakukuha mong response sa mga inapplyan mo. Pero that is where you see how God will move in your life. Yung iba dito nakakuha sila odd jobs and after one year pa sila nakakuha ng professional work na tlgang gusto nila. Yung iba naman nagsettle na sa hindi corporate work kase okay naman ang pay. Sobrang blessed nga dito ng mga galing Singapore and other countries other than PH heheh for the fact na mas malaki ang pde nyong dalhing baon. :) Kami po maliit lang ang baon namin and wala naman kaming property na nainvest pa... Kaya tlgang lakasan ng loob lang dito sa Australia. hehe Pero yeap may true stories din na nahirapan maghanap ng work pero yun nga, sabi ng mga Aussie-pinoy na kilala ko, maraming trabaho dito sa Australia, wag lang mapili. Keep an open-mind lang. Dito kase hindi naman minamaliit ung mga trabaho for example ng cleaner or waiter. Pantay-pantay lahat :)

    Tska what is important (for those that are married/with families), dapat same kayo ng spouse nyo sa decision/choices and stick to it no matter what. Mahirap kase if magkaiba... Bka pag-awayan pa yun pagdating dito. hehehe

    Anyway sorry napahaba na.. hehe I hope to encourage the jobseekers. :) tanong lang po kayo and let us know how else we can help you. :D
    @stolich18 - your post "..other that PH", caught my attention... mostly nga nang nakikita ko dito are from SG.

    may question pala me, for example you have 5000AUD na baon, ilang months ka tatagal ng walang work? for a single person.

    @TasBurrfoot - thanks for the reply. kailangan mkhanap agad ng work. :)

    sa OZ ba hindi nagkakalayo salary ng white collar sa blue collar jobs? sa canada daw kase according to my friend na 1 yr na dun, halos pareho lang daw salary. so ayaw na nya mag office work, ok na sya as sales/tech person sa isang merchandise store. and he's willing to do house cleaning as a sideline kase ok daw ang pay. curious lang...

    Minsan mas malaki pa nga sweldo ng mga blue collar lalo na sa mining eh yung truck driver mga nasa $150K per annum sweldo tapos yung mga miner alam ko mga $200K. Yung mga contruction worker na skilled mahigit $100K din kinikita kaya parang pareho halos sa mga average na worker (wag mo lang syempre i compare yung sweldo ng mga CEO ng kumpanya kasi milyon na yun hehehe).

    Kurikong, kurikong...sa tumbong ay umusbong!

    @loudandclear, yes. Minsan mas mataas pa ang sahod ng blue collar jobs kaysa sa white collar jobs. Gaya ng mga welder at mga construction worker, matataas ang mga sahod nila nasa range of $30-$40 per hour cla..
