I added you in LinkedIn.
I just wanna ask coz I don't wanna end up jobless for a longer period going there.
Gusto ko kasi sana may feedback na sa mga inaappyan ko Then fly if promising na..
Question: do recruiters need applicants to be in SA to be favorable in getting hired?
Pwede bang dito muna Pinas? Or ok lng ba if naka stay kami sa relatives sa Sydney while applying online?
I'M approved with visa subclass 190. SS SA.
Thanks po for the thread kahit last year pa. It really helped in researching options and opportunities for people like me.
More power sa inyo lahat. GOD bless.

Even kapag apply ka to other state, it will start as phone after that kapag na short list ka, you will need to fly interstate for the personal interview. Pero the company will book the flight for you.
