Aims is prang certification sa australia. If grad ka ng medtech dito sa pinas. Pwede ka pa-assessed sa knila and macoconsider ka as medical laboratory assistant. Pag pinasa mo nman exam nila, considered medical laboratory scientist nman po kayo.. then pwede na kayo maghanap ng lab work sa australia. Pero dhil hindi po citizen ng australia need mag apply muna ng visa bago mag apply ng work.
Hope nakatulong po..

@ska1119 oh my!!! Hulog ka ng langit! lol! Sobrang salamat for this comment of urs..ang babaw man pero nakatulong sakin to realize something! lol! How stupid of me to not even realize this before! Sorry huh, hndi kasi ganong ka-deep ang infos ko about AIMS and immigrants applying outside of Australia..nabasa ko dati dto sa thread na may mga state pa before na natanggap kahit Medical laboratory assistant ang applayan at hndi pa ngtake ng exam? pero ngyn wala ng ganon? tama ba?
Un bang assessment ng AIMS ng qualifications natin from Philippines, eto ba ung ngsasabi na "Intermediate member-A member who has completed an approved diploma in medical laboratory science, or equivalent from a recognised tertiary institution & who has completed 2 years experience; or a member who has completed an acceptable, but not accredited, science degree and who has not completed the AIMS Professional Examination or the AIMS Membership Examination." and they allow you to sit an exam? Eto ba un? Nung ngapply ako for an exam before, xmpre they asked for my credentials and everything else then nakareceive ako ng letter na I can sit na raw for an exam, tama ba? I've only got Intermediate membership eh.
Pag ba na-assess ka ng AIMS to sit for an exam, meaning ba non nirerecognize nila ung mga subjects mo overseas and I can apply muna as Lab. assistant?
*For anyone na familiar or mkkasagot nito..Please correct me if Im wrong..thanks in advance!

If yung letter ng aims syo to sit the exam included yung assessed ka nila as medical lab assistant. Then you can work as medical lab assistant na po. As long may allowed visa ka na to work po.
Dati kasi nsa "skilled occupation list" (SOL) pa ng australia ang lab assistant So pwede sya gamitin to apply for visa. But ngayon, wala na po. Scientist nlang po included sa list (SOL).. Ewan ko lng sa mga regions. Kya nag take ngayon ng aims exam mga co-medtechs kasi medical laboratory scientist yung gagamitin nila na profession for the application of visa.

Fyi po bago kayo mag apply ng exam. Need nyo muna pa assessed po as lab technician and sila po mag send sa inyo ng invitation nila to take the exam. Separate payment po ang assessment as med lab assistant and payment sa application ng exam for scientist.

Tsaka importante yung cover letter.. yun kse unang mababasa nila.. kaya wag kayong mgpasa ng standard cover letter.. dapat naka-ayon sa Job Description.. tsaka ung resume i-tweak nio ng konti at i-highlight kung ano yung related experience nio sa hinahanap nung employer.
Ngstart na pala ako ng work nung Monday as Scientist dito sa Brisbane. Nagsign na ako ng contract dun sa company.
Hindi ako nakuha sa interview ko sa Melbourne. Out of 150 applicants.. 5 kaming ininterview.. kaso di ako nakuha.. hehe.. baka pang-Brisbane tlaga ako.
Suggestion ko lang.. 1 month bago ung big move nio dito sa Oz.. mgpasa na kayo ng applications at sabihin nio na next month nasa Oz na kau.. ganon ang ginawa ko.. sinuwerte naman na makakuha ng 2 interviews kahit nsa Thailand pa.. kaya wag kayong maghintay na andito na kau sa Oz bago kayo mgpasa ng resume..
Good luck guys..

So I think I disproved 3 myths..
1. Dapat concise ang resume
2. Kelangan onshore para makakuha ng interviews
3. Kelangan ng local experience
I think it doesn't really matter basta solid yung experience mo at matyaga ka mgpasa ng resume at magrevise ng Cover Letter sa bawat job.
I used Thailand address and phone number sa resume.. pero tinawagan pa din nila ako..
@chelle onga sis.. dun bumawi.. haha! 15 months kami nghintay ng visa pero 1 week lang may interview n ko.. offshore pa.. mukhang naka-plan na tlga ni Lord.. kung para sa yo.. makukuha mo..

Maybe for some of us who chose to apply when ur here na, maybe ur thinking that It's gonna be easier for you to apply pag andto na kayo pra if tawagan kayo agad agad for an interview, mkkapunta agad kayo for that interview but for some, mas effective if a month or couple of months prior to migration na mag-apply na agd..it really depends on the situation, whatever works for any of us, gora tayo jan.
I think were all here to share our own experiences (either good or bad)/ knowledge and not to prove or disprove anything and its up to us readers if what infos we gonna disregard or absorb..I'm not here to discourage or to confuse anybody and again, it wont hurt if we all try and if we fail, thats ok kasi all we have to do is to move on and apply again kasi madami parin nman work dto for MLS like all of us here...When I discovered this thread recently lang, at first, all I want to do is to just read all the discussions and learn from it but when I read most of the discussions here, it inspired me and it made me feel that Im not alone with struggles of the exam, finding work that we really want/need, how to live here as MLS etc..then I realized na why not share my own thoughts & experience coz honestly dto sa location ko, sobrang bihira plng ung mga pinoy na nakausap ko about being a MLS here in Australia, karamihan sa kanila ay either nurse or phlebotomist or MLS from other country..I'm really glad that I discovered this thread and be part of it..this thread helped me a lot, I'm very grateful for that and hopefully this thread will able to help all of you in anyway to reach your Australian dreams! =D> ;;)

kaya ung kakapasa pa lang sa exam or kakakuha pa lang ng visa.. wag kau panghinaan ng loob.. kung para sa inyo makukuha nio din.. pag need nio format ng resume at cover letter message nio lang ako..
Good luck sa mga mgeexam sa March at sa mga sasabak sa paghahanap ng work.. kaya nio yan! Aja!
@ska1119 try mo na lang ipasa yung meron ka.. pag hinanap tlaga ung ITR at payslip explain mo na wala nang copy ung dati mong company tapos hingi ka ng advice.. malay mo pumayag na Statutory Declaration lang yung gawin mo or letter from your HR.. wag ka masyado ma-stress.. kulang kulang din ITR at payslips ko.. hindi naman hinanap ung mga kulang..

*For those future job hunters: Realistically, maraming work dto, if an applicant is in need of funds asap to pay bills etc or walang luck agd to find a MLS job, all you have to do is to accept whatever job that you can get, odd jobs like cleaning, waiting tables etc or even start as a phlebotomist or start in specimen reception area/ lab.assistant just to put ur foot in the door then work ur way up in the pathology or else plan your job hunt thoroughly pra bulls eye agad sa work na gusto nyo...challenging ang paghahanap ng work dto that will suit you and in line sa course natin, but its not impossible...just bear this in mind to be a realist, plan ahead and prepare yourself mentally and emotionally because the battlefields here are way different than Philippines but after that, sobrang tamis ng fruit of labor nyo ;-)

Kaya sa Brisbane at Melbourne yung nakuha ko na interviews..
Yun pa pala guys.. kung wala nmn kayong preference kung san kayo titira dito sa Oz at gusto nio lang maka-settle muna tapos tsaka na lipat sa State na gusto nio.. wag na muna kayo mamili ng State kung san maga-apply kung Visa 189 nmn yung hawak nio..
Initial na target ko tlaga maka-settle sa Melbourne.. pero napag-usapan namin ng asawa ko na kelangan lang namin maka-settle muna tapos lipat na lang ng Melbourne.. ang naging goal ko lang e makahanap ng work kahit saang State.. maraming job openings sa Sydney pero madami din nga-apply.. so try nio pa din ibang States..
Mahihirapan kayo sa Visa 190 kse limited talaga openings sa field natin.. kaya kung kaya nio i-push na Visa 189 ang i-apply.. yun ang kunin nio.. para pwede kayo mag-apply sa lahat ng States..
Good luck guys.. wag kau panghinaan ng loob.. tiwala lang kay God.. basta pag need nio ng help PM lang kayo..
