Sir, opo dto kami sa Melbourne. Industrial eng'r po ung background ko and working here as demand/inventory planner sa 1 automotive MNC.
Tingin ko allowed nman po kayo n mag-stay sa relatives nyo sa Adelaide but kung dto po kayo maghahananap ng work sa Melbourne medyo inconvenient since Adelaide is 12-16 hrs by drive or 1 hr by plane. Medyo magastos kung mag tra travel kayo interstate pero nag e entertain nman po cla ng interview thru skype. By experience po kc noon, na interview ko thru skype the company was based in Adelaide.
Isa pa po, oil & gas ung background nyo pero limited po ang oil and gas opportunities dto sa Victoria, mainly sa WA at Queensland madaming oil & gas companies. Pero since civil eng'r nman po kayo medyo OK nman po ung construction industry. Sabi sa news, the Victorian govt is planning massive infrastructure projects to build roads, expand ung mga rail links, plus rail from the city to Tullamarine airport and i-expand dn po ung airport so these projects would generate jobs.
Ung odd jobs po na available, like pizza delivery pero dapat may own transpo kayo, or tipong mga kitchen hand.
Monthly expenses, depende dn po...kung plano nyo po mag rent ng 2-bedroom flat depende sa location at sa built ng bahay but on the avg rent po ay 280-350/wk for 2 bedroom.
If wala kayong car, prepare $10-15/day sa transpo , then sa pagkain/groceries nman po 2 kami budget po nmin nasa 100-120/wk.

Pizza delivery. Hahay.. Havent got a driving license yet. Kelangan ko na pala kumuha nun sa pinas bago ako pumunta jan at mahirap daw kumuha jan ng license. When u say kitchen hand, do u mean assistant sa kusina ng cook?:) i actually have a tutorial job, cleaning job or staff sa fastfood in mind--would you happen to know of any?
Sabe pala nung friend ko, may mga free workshops/trainings daw jan na ino offer ang govt.
So for the accommodation, a budget of
200 per wk for a room will do, right? Ang mahal pala. So you're sharing a unit pala with somebody. Sabagay, mas makakamura ka pag may option kang magluto, right? Tas yung 100-120/wk na groceries sagana na or sakto lang na budget?

Wow, maraming salamat sa balitang to. Pero please dont call me sir kase di ata bagay at babae ako. Hehe.. Good news nga saken na marameng infra projects na parating specially in VIC. May nareceive nga akong email from Engineers australia re that. Havent read it in detail though.

@Seraph
sorry po kala ko lalake kayo hehehe
Medyo dami ngang parating na infra projects pero wag kayo ma fr frustrate pag na re reject ung application nyo dahil sa local experience...naka 50+ yata ko na applications/rejections bago ko ntanggap dun sa 1st job ko
Ung mga staff po sa restaurants sa pagkaalam ko kelangan kuha ng RSA certificate pero dali lang nman daw tong kunin. Pero pansin ko lang dto ung mga staff s fast foods, normally mga teenager
If makakakuha ka ng driving license from Pinas or SG mas maganda para conversion n lang. Pero kung dto p kayo mag aaral medyo mahal ung driving lesson, 25-40AUD/hr plus dami pang magagastos sa mga pagkuha ng learner permit, exam, driving license ID.
Yup ung 200/wk maganda na room n yan at all-inclusive. Ung 1st na tinirhan nmin dto sa Melbourne 200/wk for a couple, inclusive ng PUB at internet, pag single person paupa nung landlord is 650/month. Yung 100-120/wk medyo sgana na at covered from breakfast-dinner. Gnagawa nmin para ma-extend ung budget at makamura ung groceries nmin sa Aldi kami nabili medyo mahal kc pag Woolies at Coles, then wet market ung gulay at isda/karne. Pag tipong mga 5-6PM n half price na ung presyo ng mga gulay at prutas.

I just want to share this.
For most of us who are not really good in english and well in the use of the language and at some part, our confidence is really down, do not worry.
I have watched this one english lesson about speaking in english with confidence.
She told in her video that not everyone has confidence, accept it! But we can fake confidence!
She, being an english teacher, also told that most of the times she is only 45 per cent correct in english! And she is not afraid! So why should we?
She said that practise and make mistake is fine.
Talk to anyone even though they do not want to talk to you is also fine.
Just do not be afraid to talk even if it is wrong.
Sabi nya who cares daw!
Parang ganun ung sinabi nya, hehehe, pasensya na po nagpapraktis lang! Jijiji

Yup, ganito tlaga ung practice nila dto. Dto sa current job ko, before ako na hire tlagang tnawagan nila ung ex-manager ko which is US-based pa pati na dn ung naging mngr ko fr Pinas.
Not necessarily na humingi k ng referral letter from them hindi nman po ito required. Name & contact details of those references are enough so they can call them to verify about info na bngay mo from your CV/application form and most importantly do a character check. Hehehe kwento ng mngr ko from US almost 20 mins daw ang conversation nila ng HR nmin and asked her a lot of things regarding my attitude towards work & colleagues, how well do I perform with regards to my job scope and responsibilities, etc, etc...
Even dto pag lipat k ng jobs they always do reference check, lagi ko naririnig sa phone ung manager ko giving a feedback about a former subordinate since bngay daw sya as a reference

happyinmelbourne34, so halimbawa Adelaide ang target mo applyan kasi South Au sponsored ka, but you're in Melbourne sa relative mo while applying sa Adelaide companies, after few weeks sa pag-apply wala pa offer from Adelaide. pwede ba magwork ka muna ng odd jobs sa Melbourne pampatawid lang muna? i-hire ka ba nila kahit alam nilang South Au sponsored ka?
@Islandercity, I think pwede nman as long as my tax number ka and sa tingin ko nman hindi mahigpit ang mga odd jobs regardless of kung anong klaseng visa ang hawak mo as long as your visa entitled you to legally work in Au.

This thread is very useful. We just had our "touch down" to activate our 190 class visa for me, my hubby and our daughter. Act po ang state na nagsponsor ng visa samin. Although we dont plan to move na agad, my hubby is it specialist-tech help support/supervisor at this time. Ask ko lang po when is the best time to go to act to look for job? Kasi balak namin mga aug 2015 na sya pumunta at pagnakakita sya saka na kaming pamilya susunod.. Marami na po bang mga job opportunities around aug? Kasi magsisimula na naman kami (we are here in sg) though naisip ko din na pwede na magstart sending application while we are in sg..any inputs are appreciated. Tsaka isa pa may mga ngpaparent ba ng room sa act? San po kaya kami makakacheck nito? Thank you so much po sa mgrereply.
