dami ko nang napuntahan na site. nagsstart ako sa google search. ginugoogle ko lang "jobs in queanbeyan or jobs in goulburn tapos inuubos ko yung mga lumalabas na websites. iniisa isa ko. tapos vinivisit ko din mismo yung company websites. baka mas mataas ang chance na sakanila mismo mag apply kesa sa mga recruiters tsaka sa mga jobsites madami talaga competition. so ang ginagawa ko, search ako na accounting firms or auditing firms in goulburn for example tapos tinitingnan ko isa isa ang website nag sesend ako ng resume at cover letter. yung resume at letter ineedit ko pa isa isa based sa kung anong qualifications ng inaapplyan ko. marami pa di nagrereply kasi nagstart ako magsend weekend. pero paggising ko kanina, rejection email bumungad sakin ng isa kong inapplyan sa queanbeyan. hirap kasi off shore. pero as much as possible ibibigay ko ang best ko sa paghanap habang nasa pinas pa. malay natin. mahirap din na maghanap ako ng job dun mismo lalo pa't magisa ako at walang kakilala. pareho namang mahirap, onshore or offshore... tapos pray pray lang din ginagawa ko.

How much study mo pag plan mo magaral sa au?
Accommodation, airbnb muna din kami then hanap apartment. Hopefully makahanap ng apartment na pwede mag rent kht wala pa employment certificate or whatnot.
Meron ka na ba idea kung maganda sa SI? I.e, living, environment etc.

yung sa CPA program, wala pa ako idea kung magkano yun. pero para yun sa CPA designation na studies. balak ko nga mga univ eh pag nakaipon. bata pa kasi ako, 23 yo. so pangarap ko pa magaral talaga, magmasters. pero di ko pa alam ang kekelanganin na pera. saka na, pag magaaral na ako, after 2 years siguro pag PR na ako.
san mo ba balak magstay? and family po ba kayo?
Ang queanbeyan, ang pros nya is malapit sa canberra. kumbaga, madami tao kasi andun nakatira yung mga taga canberra. however ang cons, esp sa field ko, kramihan ng jobs naman is nasa canberra pa rin, eh bawal sa visa 489 yun. pero maganda ang qbn sa pagkakaalam ko.
yung goulburn naman, nakita ko mga images nya sa google, parang maganda din. mas madami ngang opportunities dun related sa career ko eh.
naghahanap ako exactly sa net ng reviews kung pano mamuhay sa southern inland, kaso konti lang ang meron sa net. more on pictures lang. nagcheck ako one time sa youtube. haha. meron dun queanbeyan tapos vinivideo nya yung place. ganun. wala pa ako masyado idea talaga. hoping for the best

Malapit ang Queanbeyan sa Airport/Majura/Hume/Fyshwick areas. Industrial area ang Hume and Fyshwick so mostly mga trades ang work doon and some bookkeeping work. dahil malapit ito sa industrial area, madami ang mga trade workers na nakatira dito or 'tradie'.
Ang Majura /Airport area na malapit din sa Queanbeyan (5 minute drive) ay mga business park. I think nandoon ang Accenture, Costco at Ikea.
Ang con sa Queanbeyan ay may reputation daw ito na medyo magulo compared to Canberra. Pero lumaki naman tayo sa Pilipinas so sa tingin ko hindi ka naman masisindak hehe. Isa pang hindi ko gusto sa Q ay minsan bumabaha doon sa may KMart banda pero madalang naman iyon.
Kapag napapadaan kami ng Q parang naalala ko ang session road.
Wala akong alam masyado sa Goulbourn bukod sa pagiging stop over nami kapag papunta ng Sydney at nandoon ang Big Merino.
Both have lower rental rates than Canberra.
Try to look sa gumtree for jobs and rental properties. Magkakaroon ka din ng idea kung anong mga trabaho available.
Kung offshore ka mag-apply ng trabaho, meron naman naghire din. Misis ko nag-apply offshore through seek natanggap naman siya.
Unsolicited advice:
I think it would be better to look at the future job prospects mo. Kung kaya mo at nasa Pilipinas ka pa, kumuha ka ng certificate sa isang trade na nakikita mong in-demand sa pupuntahan mo ie Forklift , Carpentry, etc. Panimula lang naman habang nag-aapply ka sa gusto mo talagang trabaho. Nagtrabaho ako dati sa warehouse as kargador (Fyshwick) noong una parang hindi ko gusto kasi parang hindi bagay sa inaral ko. Pero nagtiyaga lang ako para lang meron trabaho (tsaka $50/hr rate doon hehe). Pagkatapos ko ilagay sa CV ko work ko na iyon, sunod sunod na mga interview / offer na dumating. Pakiramdam ko naghahanap lang ang mga employer dito ng taong meron local experience.
Good luck.
