Kita nyo naman, minsan lang sya bumili ng gadget pero MacBook agad. Kidding aside, as far as I know if gagawa ka ng iPhone apps, you also need to buy an iPhone/iPod, or even an iPad, so you can test your app. Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong.

As you all know hindi lang sa working hours nakukuha ang work-life balance, do companies there also hold christmas parties, summer outings, movie nights, or any team building activities or even family days?

Nagutom naman ako sa pinag-uusapan...napunta na rin tayo dun may tanong ako isa!
Mahilig kasi ako kumain ng baon (kanin+ulam) sa puwesto ko..kumbaga working lunch then pag maaga natapos tulog kaagad hehe..
Question ko, is that an acceptable thing to do in Australia? Or strictly speaking dapat sa pantry talaga kumain?

Puede nman kumain sa desk mo minsan puede din sa pantry pero yung matutulog ka after mag lunch during break di nila ugali ng ganun. Sa office ko walang ganun di sila nago-off ng ilaw at natutulog during lunch break. Yung iba balik agad sa work after lunch tsaka flexible ang work time dito kaya puede ka mag lunch ng maaga 12 noon or 1pm. 12:30 ang regular lunch break Masasanay ka din pag nandito kana.

@TinaR 3rd week of October ang dating namin. Sana makahanap kami agad ng work before mag-December. Otherwise, pag inabutan kami ng operations shutdown ng walang work most likely mas matagalan pa kami makakuha ng work.

We've been applying online since we got our visa. But I guess recruiters or employers really want someone who is readily available in Australia. I got 3 recruiters who told me to call them once we're there and I hope to score a job offer from any one of them. Your suggestion was actually our option before but I think if dalawa na kami dyan ni hubby, the chances of one of us getting a job are higher. Thanks by the way!

Well better nga na isa muna mauna...not in my case kase hubby insisted na kameng 3 eh sabay-sabay kahit wala pang work...Ang taray!haha! He argued na it'll be very lonely mag-isa. I rsepect my husband..he's got his reasons baka nga nagnenega lang ako kase I'm usually the pessimist :-( but I would rather na isa lang mahirapan. We gave up our comfy life in SG to achieve worklife balance in Au. Ngaun i'm in distress kase di ako marunong sa bahay and I have a kid who goes to school....I wanna work but but but...mahal ang childcare...huhuhu
JClemMelbourne Posts: 528Member Joined: Jan 08, 2011
Dalawa na din kami pupunta ni hubby. We feel that higher yung chances na makakuha yung isa samin ng work kapag sabay na kami naghanap dyan. Malungkot din kasi maiwan ang isat-isa. Risky but I'm sure God will take care of us.

Then lets agree to disagree
Who told you that? Hahaha.... operations shutdown pag last two weeks of December until first week of January. This is true to most, pag permanent of course may freedom to take longer leave pag contract e usually "it's a must".
So technically speaking between mid December to mid January wala masyadong ginagawa.
Workwise dapat ingat sa mga months na December, January, June and July these are critical months specially for contractors pag inabutan ka na walang work or natapos ang contract yari na. Pag permanent naman e sana wag matanggal during those months.
December - January due to holidays June - July due to budget approval and allocation dahil palit ng financial year
Anyway, once you're here malalaman mo din.
Ta.
@TinaR I would disagree on some of the comparisons but generally speaking, natumbok mo naman hehe
I read somewhere parang buong buwan daw ng December parang holiday sa Australia? hehe
Hehe sabi ng boss namin magaan daw yung trabaho ng December...yun lang naman so nag-iimagine ako na wonderland siguro sa Australia ng mga ganung buwan hehe.
Parang balanseng balanse ang buhay at hanapbuhay diyan

I know we have our reasons, but I still don't get people na nag-apply ng migrant visa then mag-initial entry lang and ayaw munang tumira sa oz. Ironic, yes? Wouldn't it be better to start your life there early para maka-settle down kaagad? Sure, there will be minor speedbumps pero lagi namang may ganoon sa umpisa, so just get it over with. Sabi nga ng misis ko paglabas ng visa namin resign kaagad kami dito sa disyerto and lipat kaagad para mabilis maging citizen. Ako pa nga yung gustong magpa-delay para makapag-ipon pa ng bala.

@Metaform, yung iba siyempre pakikiramdaman muna ang buhay sa Australia...pag nagsettle down kaagad kasi wala nang atrasan (that's how I interpret the situation a) hehe
Salamat po sa lahat ng infomation na shared ninyo dito:) Valuable po sa lahat na nag plan mag migrate.
New member po ako ang currently waiting for the invite sa EOI 189 Visa.
@Diwata 1057 Worth it po ba talaga long term wise yung pag transfer sa OZ from SG? Kami din po medyo comfy na rin ang buhay sa SG and we have one child. 1 month old pa ang baby namin. Okey naman po ang work namin sa SG , kami ng mrs ko ay may work at maganda ang pay naman kahit papano.

Mahilig kasi ako kumain ng baon (kanin+ulam) sa puwesto ko..kumbaga working lunch then pag maaga natapos tulog kaagad hehe..
Question ko, is that an acceptable thing to do in Australia? Or strictly speaking dapat sa pantry talaga kumain?

Puede nman kumain sa desk mo minsan puede din sa pantry pero yung matutulog ka after mag lunch during break di nila ugali ng ganun. Sa office ko walang ganun di sila nago-off ng ilaw at natutulog during lunch break. Yung iba balik agad sa work after lunch tsaka flexible ang work time dito kaya puede ka mag lunch ng maaga 12 noon or 1pm. 12:30 ang regular lunch break Masasanay ka din pag nandito kana.
