in General
I am planning to move to Sydney very soon either this year (2015) or early 2016. I opened this thread so that we can share our plans/preparations before and during our move.
For those in Sydney please share your insights/experiences and tips you can advise in arriving/living/working in Sydney.

    un din iniisip ko saan kaya na area sa syd na ok na makatipid ako sa pamasahi at parang malapit sa cbd pra pag may interviews malapit lang kc mag isa akong pupunta muna dyan baka mawala ako wahahahha. c hubby namn stayfoot muna sa sg at xa mag susupport sa mga gastos ko. pag once ok na ako xa namn susunod at later on mga babies na namin :D.
    basta positive talaga ako makahanap ng work sa syd d ko na inintertain mga negative thoughts basta go lang ng go.. sa mga galing ng sg, isipin nlng natin na may time limit nga tau dyan na 30days nkahanap nga tau. :-bd . tiwala lng tau ni LORD d tau pababayaan ^:)^ :> <:-P

    @yraymaego need mo na magsend ng mga applications ngayon pa lang. Usually mga headhunter ang tatawag sayo, so it will take 2-3 weeks before ka magkaron ng job interview, so take note on that.

    By Dec medyo wala ng hiring kasi nasa vacation mode na sila until Feb next year.
    So you need to get a job by Nov. If wala pa, then you can make plans going back sa pinas to spend Christmas. Usually mga mid Dec may shutdown daw for some companies.

    As for the place, may mga nakikita akong post dito sa pinoyau na near CBD ang place nila. pwede mo sila tanungin. hindi kasi lahat merong vacant room to spare.

    Kaya natin magka work dpende na lang sa preference natin kung may pinipili ba tyo.

    :D
