About sa mga list of recruiters, cannot say which ones are trusted for me kasi as of now they haven't help me yet. Pero yung mga top recruiters are Michael Page, Robert Walters, Lloyd Morgan, Hays. I have tried to register to any recruitment agencies na may job ad sa SEEK. Yung iba pag tumawag ka to ask that you want to be registered with them, they will just ask you to send your resume thru their website, yung iba they will invite you for an interview to have an initial assessment of your qualifications. Which is useful for me to increase my network here and to practice na din answering interview questions.
Thru online lang ko kumuha ng MYOB course. Usually kasi, SMEs here uses MYOB as accounting system and most of the jobs in the market today are from SMEs. Pero mas ok pa din if you are familiar with large ERP systems like Oracle, SAP, JD Edwards coz it means you might get hired by blue chip companies.
If you want to apply while outside AU, try to apply directly sa mga companies than thru recruitment agencies. Mas patient sila to wait for you to arrive kung mahire ka while outside AU.
But hey, this is my luck so far. And it might be different from your's or someone else's.

CPAA / IPA / ICAA can be able to certify your skills - check on the individuals sites to see what are your options for your possible nominated occupation.

I tried some minutes back to call their number and check for the results however the person said that they cannot divulge the information over the phone. We need to wait for a few more days I guess when we receive their mail.
More or less, I have already planned out a plan B in case this will not be successful...
Cheers!
