Finding a Job in Australia & Getting an Employer Sponsored Visa: 10 Tips

aolee · July 2011

Sa experience ko dito ung, seek.com.au effective lang sa mga taga rito sa australia. Kasi wla pa ako na eencounter na pinoy d2 na nkpag migrate dito sa pmmgatin ng pag aplay sa seek.com.au.

yeah. not unless headhunter talaga from au or taga pinas, at may unique/exceptional skills ka na wala talaga mahanap sa iba. kasi si opfret dati na offeran kaso mas pinili ang singapore. hehehe

gents. I was hired twice thru seek while I was in the Philippines.

@aolee, so best apply muna ng skilled visa?
@bmac, bale nagapply po kayo directly sa seek? willing ang employer bigyan kayo ng ENS visa?

@LokiJr

Mga Sirs, tanong ko lang...posible po bang tanggapin ako ng employer kung magapply ako sa seek.au ng trabaho kaso nasa pinas pa ako? Or required ba sa kanila na nasa Australia ka na at may visa?

posible try mo, basta qualified ka sa specific details na hinahanap nila at kung walang qualified or nagaapply sa kanila na locals or Australian sa specific details na hinahanap. kasi online nman ang pag apply eh may mga job site pa ng Australia madami pa check mo na lang. basta diskarte, tyaga at do your own research. Tyaga lang nman at konting oras ang kailangan at least nag try ka. who knows in GOD will. cheers

@tony:sir ask ko lang po abt yung salary differences ng 457 vs 157 pr visa.Once nagka PR visa ka ba obliged yung employer mo na taasan ka ng sahod?if you are working under a 457 visa?

Ganito po situation ko kasi: just got a job in perth,i'm waiting for my 457 visa company sponsored and my agency called me sooner or later 1st week of may labas na yung visa,my wife(primary applicant) just lodged 175 PR appl last jan2011 and we will be getting our CO this june accdg to DIAC.

As a 457 worker,do i have the right na magdemand ng sahod once maka PR na po ako?

it doesnt matter kung anung visa ka as long as nagkasundo kayo ng employer mo yun na ang sahod mo. every year naman nadadagdagan ng at least 2% to 3%(not sure the %) ang sahod dipende sa skills mo at utos ng gobyerno dito. Iba naman yung mag request ka nasa paguusap nyo between you at ng employer mo nasa employer na yan kung deserve ka at kung gusto ka nila taasan ng sahod.

I advise you na ipakita mo muna sa kanila na marunong ka, magaling ka, masipag ka, matiyaga ka, at may kusa kang kumilos sa work profession mo at feel mo na deserving ka naman eh tsaka ka marequest taas sahod. Kung may potential ka at kung nagustuhan ka nila sila din naman ang magsasabi sa iyo na taasan ka. For me dahil nagsisimula pa lang kayo at bago kayo dito sa OZ hwag mo muna isipin ang sahod. isipin mo yung work experience mo dito at establish mo muna sarili mo lalo na career mo dito. kailangan magkaroon ka muna ng work experience dito para kung puede kana limipat ng company puede ka ng maghanap ng malaking sahod. at kung gusto mo talaga ng lumaki sahod mo mag aral ka dito yun ang number one qulaification makatapos ka ng advance diploma dito na related sa profession mo.

Goodluck and GOD bless...

allancvillanueva · July 2011

new and stranger here, give me advise I want to migrate to australia, panu ba yung procedure and approx. how much yung money involve for these, anung visa ba yung pede sa akin? I' am working here in Singapore holding employment pass.

bmac · July 2011

please browse immi.gov.au muna mate then later ask a question. malawak pa ang tanong mo. pero tama ang decision mo to migrate in Oz. Cheers

therealaids · July 2011

depends if you have relatives in AU, if not, the most common is Sub Class 175 which is Skill independent, as for the cost, main stuffs that you will need to prepare are

1. IELTS & for your wife too if you want to claim additional points - S$310 (x2 for your wife)
- this is the rate if you will take the exam @ british council
2. SKILLS ASSESSMENT FEE - AUD$400 (IT)
- if you want to claim points for your wife, she needs to undergo skills assessment too.
3. LODGE IN FEE - AUD$2960 (nagtaas na from 2.5k AUD)

like BMAC said. medyo malawak nga ung question mo. hehehe . marami pang bayarin na dapat pag ipunan.

Samahan mo pa gastos sa pag apply at pag renew ng mga documents mo it will cost thousand of pesos. Yung hasle, absent sa opis sa pag asikaso, yung transportation fare, pagkain. Yung uutusan mo na kamaganak mo para kumuha ng documents mo at iba pa i add mo na rin yung consultation fee sa Migration Agent (MARA). At ito pa matindi kung may budget ka it will cost thousand of $dollars$ kung gusto mo kunin ang service ng Migration Agent (MARA) package deal. Hindi sila mag-proprovide ng documents mo kung hindi sila ang mag ga-guide sa iyo at magpa follow-up ng documents mo for lodgement visa. There is advantage and its really help basta talagang licence Migration agent ng Australia ang hanapin mo at basta kung may pangbayad ka sa kanila. Kung wala naman I advise you Mag research ka sa immi.gov.au basahin mo, intindihin mo at reviewhin ng 10x++ at malalalaman mo kung anu ang visa na para sa iyo. kung gusto mo ng translation para maintindihan mo lalo. Punta ka ng Google Translation piliin mo english and filipino yung mga sentence sa site ng immi.gov.au icopy and paste mo ayun may tagalog translation ka na. not really 100% translation but it really help to understand. Okay Good luck and GOD bless...

LokiJr · July 2011

Mga sirs, tanong ko lang po kung naka-encounter na kayo ng Australian employers na willing ishoulder yung assessment fee and visa lodging fee mo tapos idadaan na lang nila sa salary deduction yung binayad nila pag nasa Australia ka na..

Posible ba yung ganun?

TotoyOZresident · July 2011

kung 457 visa sponsor by employer di na kailangan ng skills assessment basta nandun sa listashan ang skills mo. kasi una nomination muna from employer then lodging visa importante ay kumpleto ang documents mo. Sagot na ng employer lodging visa, pamasahe mo papunta dito plus minimum 2 weeks free accommodation. yan ang batas kapag kukuha ng overseas employee ang employer dito. cheers

romy · July 2011

Hello po. sir i am an electronic and communications engineer. kasalukuyan po akong nag work dito sa atin for almost 14 yrs. plano po naming mag migrate sa australia . ano ho ang ma ipapayo nyong visa na fit para sa amin. ang asawa ko nakapunta na ng australia pero bakasyon lang kasi nadoon na yong sister nya.

LokiJr · July 2011

@totoyozresident sa ENS po may ganun din po ba? sagot ang visa lodging at flight papunta?

Bryann · July 2011

@Romy Suggestion ko po GSM, general skilled migrant visa. Madami ka na po kasi years of experience. Sayang nga lang wala na points for relative sponsored visa, kasi andun yun sister ng wife mo, meron sana points. Sa new points system pwede pa din kayo sponsor pero wala na additional points.

To be sure na din po, punta ka po sa link na ito for the visa wizard.

kidrock · July 2011

Hi! share lang Sa bagong GSM.May points parin ata sa eligible relatives sponsored. Pero dapat na ka base sa designated areas ung relative.
