    I had an interview today. My first after a month of being here. Kakaiba ito kasi 1. Pinakuha sa akin transcript ko sa phils 2. Badtrip ung interviewer na i came 30mins early 3. Interviewer questioned my cpaa qualification. Sabi ko na associate member ako. Sabi niya, everybody is an associate. Sabi ko na i'm currently pursuing the professional level. Sabi niya, are you sure you're allowed? How is that possible when you graduated in the philippines? I can call them now and ask. I have their number. So ang tumatakbo sa isip ko, iniisip ba niya na nagsisinungaling ako sa CV ko?

    @batman yeah. I was so disappointed and na shock din ako. Kaya i just went ahead with the interview. Thanked them for their time. Nakakapanghina ng loob pero tinulog ko na lang. Tomorrow is another day.

    @Electrical_Engr_CDR hindi naman siya tumawag sa harap ko. Sana tumawag siya para malaman niya. Haha.

    @caylin good thing you keep your cool, baka din kasi it was just a test of patience and professionalism on your part on how you will react. you should have presented to them facts such as the MPA approval date blah blah. hehehe

    @toperthug @Captain_A mga boss na ka CE makikisingit sa usapan nyo ha hehe.

    @Captain_A bro CE ka? ok ba structural engineer sa melby? or mas ok sa sydney? sa sydney kasi pinakamdaming ads about structural engineer.
    oil and gas at industrial plants lang kasi exp ko 4 yrs exp ako pero kung walang oil and gas
    plano ko kahit start muna ng panibago.
    possible bako magkawork as structural engineer dyan o simula ako sa drafter or iba pang starting position na trabaho?
    salamat!

    @zballesteros

    CE ako. may background din ako sa Structural engineering 3yrs s O&G, kaso medyo nahirapan ako makapasok dito s ganung field dito, IMHO, bukod sa bagsak ang O&G at mining.. tight competition sa structural engg kasi halos mga puti ang nasa ganung work or mga dito nag aral or mga senior level na ang exp.

    mas madami ata sa Sydney pero mdami din nmn dito. Sabi ng iba, magsimula muna sa drafter position just to penetrate the industry..

    @toperthug tama. ako din naman, iniisip ko lng baka matagalan maghanap ng trabaho. mhirap din kasi pag natengga lalo n madaming gastusin sa pinas.
    sa mga nababasa ko kasi, mahirap n dw maghanap ngaun ng work sa oz di ko lang alam sa field natin. sana may pagasa p sten. san plano mong state?

    @zballesteros ang sabi sa akin boom ang construction sa sydney, di ako makapg big move kasi nagiipon pa ako ng contigency funds just in case nga matagalan kakahanap ng work. kasi mas mahal kesa sa singapore ang au. depende kung saan magkaka job ofer pero prefer ko kasi melbourne kasi napuntahan ko na. Sa sydney kasi parang stress mas mabilis ung phase nung nabisita ko
