i just received good news that my PR application has been approved. im planning to move Q1 2013. i have high hopes. kaya lang when I look at seek job search engine there's only a few...
then, when i checked the http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/business/states-leading-in-jobless-rate-rise/story-e6frede3-1226424381264 in Adelaide, i was alarmed a little.
for those in IT particularly Software Testing, kamusta po ba ang industry at markets nowadays?

Regarding the employment, seek.com.au will answer that question. I just browsed seek.com.au and found a lot of IT jobs. It is just a matter of qualifications, approach, luck and attitude.

March 7 - Signed contract at Royal Adelaide Hospital. Start date is March 13 because 12 is public holiday.
March 9 - Counter offer at Glenunga International High School. I asked them to move the contract signing from March 13 to March 14. I then emailed Orana Inc. (another company) that I have a contract signing at March 14 by 1:00PM
I also emailed Royal Adelaide that I will withdraw my employment.
March 14 - Received a call at 9:00am from Orana Inc. and later on emailed Glenunga that I will withdraw the contract signing.
March 15 - Manager from Glenunga was calling me on my mobile phone but I didn't answer the phone. Things are getting too complicated.
March 19 - first day at Orana
I am very lucky to have this kind of job hunting experience I experienced this counter offer thing in the Philippines but I never thought it will happen in Au.
