naturally if your job is not related to your skills/educational qualification, eh talagang madedepress ka at some point.... sana lang eh hindi matagalan ang pagrecover..
my favorite quote of all time:
If you CAN do something about it... why worry?
If you CAN'T do something about it... why worry?

Going back to the topic, my uncle was holding an executive position in a government agency in Manila before they moved to Sydney 20-ish years ago. When they got to oz, he started working as a ticket seller at the train station while studying at night. He did that until he got back to doing the same thing he was doing in Manila. His story never fails to inspire me whenever I think about it.

I've been reading around, here, on blogs and on other forums, and I have that impression that most Filipinos who want to go abroad wouldn't really dare fake their qualifications. We actually discourage each other to do such things.

just my opinion, kaibahan nating mga pinoy is.. that most of us are believer of God, we believe there's a supreme being watching over us.
we are know how to endure hardship in life plus we believe everything will turn out positive in the end
sabi nga sa bible, all thing work together for good to those who love God ad are called according to His purpose
All things there means good AND bad.
A good example is what happened to our fellow forumer Mariya.
They experienced a something hard but in the end, God is indeed good and managed to demonstrate his awesomeness!
Never lose hope guys!

So far lahat ng kakilala ko, it took us 3 months or more to find a job. May paisa-isa na sinuwerte. and its not that type of job that we wanted, ika nga payroll job lang. Hopefully, this would get better.

Which is why I've opened this thread : Ways to apply to jobs in Australia
Noong nagtry akong tumingin ng jobs na fit sa akin (sa planned nominated skill ko) walang nagfi-fit sa akin. I worry kasi baka ganun, magmove ako then spend a lot and such tapos mahihirapan pa pala ako and be unemployed for quite a long time. mahal pa naman dyan.

If we break the job market into segments, maganda pa naman ang chances makakuha ng trabaho kung galing ka ng finance industry...pinaka in demand pa rin ang mining, construction at engineering dahil sa mining boom...Ang mga galing retail at manufacturing ang taghirap dun ayon sa na-research ko
