pinabalik for a second interview.. tapos pinag tour sa facility, pinakilala sa mga ibang managers.. pero hindi pa agad nag job offer..
i think they are checking how you will fit in, kung gusto mo ba ang work environment..
and of course hindi pa naman talga sila makapag-offer officially until they've completed yung mga background check, medical...etc..
after 1 or 2 days, tumawag na to offer the job..(after ma approve ang mga docs/reference/medical checks)..
but definitely, it is a very positive sign, na meet ka nila personally..
goodluck.

a) Under a registered business - example eletrician ka, and then nagtayo ka ng own business mo.. pag meron kang contractuals job sa mga ibang company as an on-call electrician.. ang bayad sayo ng company, hindi babawasan ng personal income tax..
so as a registered business owner, mag iisue ka ng invoice at babayaran ka nila.. so lahat ng mga invoices na issue mo at binayaran ka....you are required to pay GST (goods and services tax) sa goverment..
b) just for your labor, as a temp/casual worker, but without your own registered business - so example pumasok ka as a receptionist -contractual job (temp), sa isang company.. dahil wala ka namang registered business or agency, at sariling service mo lang un... from your salary, obligation ng company na bawasan ang bayad sayo ng personal income tax..
in this case, hindi na applicable sayo ang GST..
hope this helps..

Wag din masyadong mapili or wag masyado taasan ang expected salary, just stay at the minimum to average rate. What is important is meron tayong perang pumapasok at nagkakaroon ng local experience.
God bless sa lahat ng naghahanap ng job!

But one thing I've noticed, when you apply here in Australia, you really need to be qualified. Especially on paper. Like having the necessary certifications, almost exact same experience, etc.
This, I think, is different to how we conduct job hunting the Pinas. Sa Pinas, unless highly technical yung skill, good personal presentation, confidence, and culture fit lang, you can easily get a job. Kasi sa Pinas, we think, everything is trainable. You don't have to be an expert to come on board. Whatever you do on the job, pwede mo matutunan while doing the job.
Dito, iba. Hindi importante ang willingness to learn, resourcefulness, and critical thinking. Kelangan certified ka by ang institution to prove any of your skills. Kaya mahirap.
So for those having difficulty, study can be an option. Not necessarily University type of studying. But studying for certifications and stuff.
Good luck to all!
