Yun cover letter, na-describe ko na sa taas. As for the CV, keep it short daw talaga. 2-3 pages. Tapos sa taas, summary.. then gusto nila pag IT naka-list down yun technologies na ginamit mo sa projects, and work experience mo kasi gusto nila isang tingin lang makikita agad nila if suitable ka sa position. Basically yun format parang dun lang sa ACS. Hehehe. As in parang ganun lang talaga. Main duties and responsibilities, achievements, tapos technologies used. No need for references. Hindi mo na din need ilagay yun visa # mo, etc. Verbal na lang yun tatanungin ka if meron ka rights to work here. Sa experience ko sa interviews face to face and through phone wala pa nanghingi nun visa grant letter ko. Pahabol pala.. kahit sa airport sa Pinas at dito sa Australia (Sydney), hindi man lang hiningi or tinignan yun visa grant letter ko na print out. Haha.

Hi sir/ma'am, yun experience ko po is sa IT, pero I'm sure hindi kayo mahihirapan as long as you're good sa craft mo. Impress them sa interview. Sa SEEK website po umaga and gabi may bago job posts lagi kahit weekends. I'm sure within weeks makakakuha din po kayo agad ng work.

Very frustrated at the moment pero iniisip ko na lng na darating ung right time and the right work for me. Siguro this is just trials that every migrant could encounter when they migrate to another country.
Consolation ko na lng ngaun is at least i have a part time work for the moment, para lang me pambayad ng bills for the moment.

@junix Mas in demand dito yang work mo. Sa OSP field marami opening sa Perth. Sa regional kasi hirap makahanap ng telco work dito. More on O&M kasi ako ng telco equipment ang field ko.
No problem sa sir.Sabihan mo lng ako kung kelan ka punta dito para maihanap kita ng room na pwedeng tuluyan. Puno kasi at the moment tong nirerentahan ko na house e. May padating din dito na naka 475 visa na mag asawa next week kaya nakuha na ung isang room. Dami naman available na rooms dito sa ibang mga pinoy.

1) Verify if your skills is in the SOL/CSOL - http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/sol/#b
2) prepare documents (cert of employment, passport etc)
2) English Test (IELTS)
3) Skills assessment - ( so for automotive techinician it would be TRA)
4) Lodge EOI - expression of interest
5) Once selected, you can then apply for an immigrant visa..
