Difficulties of finding jobs in Melbourne

disyerto_31disyerto_31 MelbournePosts: 13Member
Ito pong post ko ay para sa mga kababayan nating nasa pinas na nagbabalak pumunta dito sa Aus sa pamamagitan ng Student Visa. Kung talaga pong nais nyo na makapag aral dito at the same time ay magtrabaho para kahit man lang allowance ay kumita. Hinihikayat ko po kayo na wag pumunta dito sa melbourne, napakahirap pong makakuha ng trabaho dito pag kayo ay international student. Ang maipapayo ko po sa inyo ay sa sydney kayo pumunta, madali lng po magkaron ng trabaho doon. Isa po akong concern citizen na nagbibigay ng payo sa mga nagnanais na pumunta dito. Base po itong payo ko sa inyo sa actual na karanasan namin dito. Kahit po may natapos ka ng certificate ay hindi ka mapapasok kung walang taga loob na magrerecommend sa iyo. Ganyan po kahirap makakuha ng trabaho dito sa melbourne.

    @janinlee masasabi mong suwerte ka kasi may nagpasok sayo..gaya ng sabi ko sa post ko, base sa actual na karanasan..ang kakilala ko ay RN sa pinas, may experience cya don at s middle east. Ng nagpunta cya s melbourne, nag aral cya ng aged care cert 3 for 6months pr mkkuha ng trbho bilang PCA. Habang nag aaral cya ng aged care ay puro very good ang ibinibigay s kny ng assesor nl s lht ng assessments n ipinapasa niya..Pati s placement nya ay mgnda ang dn ang assessment s knya. Gayunpaman ay hindi p dn cya mapasok s lahat ng mga inapplyan niyang homes, maging walk-in man at online applications.

    Pero meron akong kakilala n nakatira sa south melbourne, hind cya RN at ng aral lng cya ng aged care cert 3 for 1month. Pgktpos n pgktpos nya ng aged care cert 3 ay tanggap cya agad s isang homes s north melbourne. Isipin nyo kung gano kalayo ang south melbourne s north melbourne, bkit don cya s north napasok at hndi s south..Kasi ay meron ngpasok s knya n nurse don s homes s north melbourne. Yan po ang tinatawag na suwerte, ung may taga loob na magpapasok sayo.

    Gaya po ng sabi ko, base lang po sa karanasan ang payo ko sa una kong post. At ito po ay ibinabahagi ko bilang malasakit sa mga kababayan natin na ngbabalak pumunta d2 s melbourne s pamamagitan ng student visa. Ganyan po ang labanan dito, hindi ko po kyo dini-discourage nagmamalasakit lang po.

    it's difficult not only for students, but also for PRs.....however, it is achievable. :-) Me and my wife found a job here without any referral at all. It is all about persistence and faith. If it is not working step back and evaluate what you are not doing right. We had a fair share of misgivings here but it never stopped us from pushing ourselves to our limit. All the best sa inyo

    To some extent, I agree with @disyerto_31. Totoong mahirap maghanap ng work dito. I arrived here 6 mos ago. I thought ang mga pinsan ng asawa ko na mga nurses at accountant matutulungan ako na makahanap ng work dahil mga citizen na cla dito pero ni isa sa kanila wlang mairecomend na trabaho. Dumating din sa punto na na-discourage talaga ako dahil dito wla palang kinikilalang kamag-anak. Hindi ko nmn sinasabi in general ganun ang mga Pinoy or relatives pero halos sa mga kakilala ko inabandon din ng mga relatives nla dito. Nakakalungkot mn isipin pero nag-eexist pala talaga ito. Anyway, nagpatuloy lng ako naghanap ng kahit anong trabaho dito sa Melbourne. Laking gulat na lng ng mga pinsan ng asawa ko na nakuha ako sa isang govt funded na aged care (na sabi nla sikat at malaking aged care daw dito sa melbourne) kahit wla akong referral at d ako nurse sa pinas ngunit nakapag-aral lng ako ng BSN sa atin. Hanggang ngayon struggling pa rin kami ng asawa ko kasi ako pa lng ang ngtatrabaho at under student visa kami. On my part, dahil wla na akong maasahan na tutulong sakin dito naniwala na lng ako sa Panginoon na hindi kami pababayaan. I know someday makakamit lng din namin ang pangarap namin.

    Sana tayo na mga Pinoy dito mn sa Melbourne magtulungan tayo. Hindi nmn 24/7 atin lng ang shift sa trabaho. Share sana natin sa iba na nangangailangan din.

    By the way, to those who are in Melbourne at naghahanap pa rin ng trabaho meron po akong alam na trabaho preferably male on a dependent student visa. konti nga lng ang rate pero kahit papano makakatulong na rin sa expenses. PM me kung sino ang interested.

    @strawberry generally, matulungin naman ang mga Pinoy dito. But they won't reach out unless you come to them.

    Anyway, personal issues nyo yan ng kamag anak mo, and I feel sad for your circumstance......but I feel that hindi naman obligado ang kamag anak na tumulong because they have their own problems (that's one good thing I learned when I left Phil)....and let us remind ourselves that they can only recommend pag may opening.... and lahat naman (or 90% siguro) ng bagong dating dito dumadaan sa mga challenges na pinag dadaanan nyo. But eventually, malalagpasan nyo rin yan if you persist. After few years, you could look back and say it's all worth it. All the best.

    @Gft_SG you made the point... may mga personal difficulties and respective concerns bawat isa kamag-anak man o hindi. This we should understand para di tayo magkaroon ng sama ng loob.. Bonus na talaga kung may tutulong at swertehin pero as much as possible, prepared talaga sarili natin to stand on our own no matter what. Of course, dasal lagi for guidance, para maghirap man, meron pa rin presence of mind to think what to do next. But of course everything is easier said than done.

    I agree na hindi naman negative yung mga punto ni @disyerto_31...

    On one hand realidad yun based on his own experience... on the other hand, it should not discourage us, whether SV or PR, na magpursigi.

    Regarding naman sa sinabi @strawberry, I agree also na kung merong pwedeng tumulong bakit hindi, right? Lapitan natin kung sino pwedeng malapitan, kamag-anak, kaibigan, kakilala.. magbaka-sakali ika nga, alam naman siguro nung mga nauna sa atin kung ano ang pinag-daraanan natin, so let's just be positive na magbibigay sila ng daan... Alam na naman natin yan, wala munang pride pride, kung may pride man, lunukin na dahil nauubos ang baon natin.

    On the other hand uli, huwag din naman tayo umasa, at lalong huwag sumama ang loob. Una, unless they've pledged support from the very beginning, hindi naman nila tayo kinumbida na mag-migrate sa Oz. Pangalawa, sarili nating sikap ito, at sarili din natin yung success later on... Kaya buntot natin, Hila natin.

    Kung may tutulong, salamat na marami, kung wala, patunayan na lang natin na kaya natin :)

    thanks @johnvangie hehe, medyo madami kasi kaming nababalitaan lately, based sa kakilala at sa mga nababasa about sa negative situation sa Oz..

    pati nga sa mga hindi naman mga visa holders/citizens, nagbibigay ng komento, hindi mo tuloy alam kung concerned lang or gusto lang talagang sirain yung loob mo.

    madaming reasons to get discourage, kaya kung may opportunity tayong maging positibo, doon na lang natin ibaling yung energy natin.

    i travel to oz (sydney) on my own with 456 visa for 3 months < with backpacker accommodation on a $350 US dollars money on my pocket, no credit card back up because i use it for my plane ticket. with a help from fellow backpacker (i just meet them all there) was able to get job easily as long as you are not choosy. after 2 months i was able to survive and earn good money, found an employer willing to sponsor for 457 visa. i have no choice because my 3 months visa will expire what i did i went to auckland on working holiday visa find and get odds job, i also work, travel and stay there for 5 months (like what other backpacker is doing>...we filipinos don't have an idea about this but it works for me) while awaiting my 457 visa in oz. then i went back to sydney again for 3 months to be able to survive because jobs is easy in oz no matter what you can get one. again back to nz for 5 months same thing i did before and finally i need to go back to oz and was advised by my sponsor company that my visa will soon to be granted so i use visitor visa to sydney and after 2 weeks, my 457 visa was granted. nothing is impossible as long as you know and you have a plan and other option ........ now i am an australian citizen after 7 yrs ..... IT LOOKS LIKE IT WON'T WORK BUT A PERFECT OPTION AND STILL U EARN GOOD MONEY ...... REASON WHY I LOVE IT ... PLAY HARD WORK HARD attitude travel many beautiful places, work and enjoy ....... like european and american. i know no one did this crazy thing ....PM me i can teach you this harder and interesting cheaper way to be here ....

    thanks @johnvangie hehe, medyo madami kasi kaming nababalitaan lately, based sa kakilala at sa mga nababasa about sa negative situation sa Oz..

    pati nga sa mga hindi naman mga visa holders/citizens, nagbibigay ng komento, hindi mo tuloy alam kung concerned lang or gusto lang talagang sirain yung loob mo.

    madaming reasons to get discourage, kaya kung may opportunity tayong maging positibo, doon na lang natin ibaling yung energy natin.
    Tama, no reason to entertain negative vibes, gaano man kahirap ang magsimula bilang new migrants, still kaya nating mga Pinoy, and of course with the help of our Lord.

    Lahat naman ng pagsimula, ng bago, mahirap eh.
    Basta never give up lang, in the end, tayo pa din ang winner :-)

    4months pa lang kami dito pero its all worth talaga.
    Though di ganun ka OK na aalis ka pa ng sarili mong bansa para sa better opportunity, no choice eh...

    Basta never give up, sipag, tyaga, patience, PRAYERS,
    after few months, part na lang ng experience natin ang start up life natin dito na kinatatakutan nating new migrants.

    God Bless

    hi,

    already in the process of my SV to oz.

    iba iba ang palad ng mga tao so iba2 din ang kapalaran natin. may mga swerte at may pinagpala.

    kahit naman saan tayo pupunta, mahirap talaga ang "umpisa". been working here in UAE for more than 5yrs at indi madali ang panimula ko dito. to the extent na negative ang sweldo ko vs. expenses, to the extend na ang kinakain ko ay nga tinapay na issue ng company. but its all worth it. tiyaga, pasensya, diskarte at PANALANGIN. lahat naman possible. and now, we have are our own flat, car, and was able to bring our kids here. indi ko masasabi na luxury ang pamumuhay namin dito pero ensakto lang para makaraos sa pang araw2 naming buhay.

    marami akong narinig/nabasa mga negative thing about oz, but our life here in UAE ay basehan at challenge para sa aming mag asawa to push through our OZ dream.

    sabi nga "pag may tiyaga, may nilaga".

    i will follow this thread. thanks to TS @disyerto_31
