    @MommyPups visa grants is not based on ielts scores. Higher ielts is for ITA not for visa grants. :)

    @MommyPups maybe you are discussing increasing points for for ITA? Or ung language course ng dependents?
    kung para sa proof of english ng dependents, you can just aim for 6points
    kung iuupdate nyo for ITA, mag-rerestart ulit kau sa pila lalo na kung affected points nyo

    Hi batchmates musta? Just thought I'd drop a quick update. Touched down Sydney last Wednesday as a permanent resident woohoo! So far okay naman. Might share what I went through na din in case makatulong.

    Di na chineck yung visa grant letter ko sa Ph immigration which is good. Pero naka ready ako na ipresent sya.
    If you have citibank premier miles you have free access sa sky lounge in terminal 3. I went there around 10pm so i have 1.5 hrs to wait until boarding. Free wifi and food din.
    Sa Syd immigration wala na din tinanong saken
    Sa customs I declared may food and meds/vitamins akong dala...pero pinaderetso na din ako di na chineck...then exit na. Di na din pinadaan dun sa mga dog check. Hehe
    Mejo malamig so kung lamigin kayo just bring enough jackets to cover up and keep you warm.

    Today I'm off to register for Medicare. If you are resident of NSW pwede din kumuha pala ng nsw photo card, pwede magapply sa mga nsw service centres para syang drivers license pero for id purposes lang. Good cya as additional identification pra di na din lagi dala passport.

    Yun lang so far...hope these helps!

    hello batchmates!!! do you know of any house for rent in Melbourne for a family of 3? No one is accepting our applications since wala kaming rental history :( We need to find a permanent place to stay since magki-kindergarten na ang daughter ko. We cannot enroll her unless we find a place of our own. We are just staying for free at a friend's house in Tarneit suburb, although we contribute to their monthly bills, but they already need the room that we are occupying. Hoping to hear a positive response from you guys. Thank you and God bless. :)

    musta po sa lahat ng january batch na nandito na at paririto palang sa oz. isa rin po ako sa inyo na naglodge nung january at nabiyayaan ng pr visa grant. lurking lng po mdalas dhil sa wala experience maishare pero ngaun gusto ko po sana ishare sa inyo ang experience ko sa paghanap ng trabaho pagdating dito sa oz na sana ay maging inspirasyon sa inyo. 2 buwan na po kmi ngayon dito ng aking pamilya since initial entry nmin at fulltime na sa trabaho.

    nag fulltime job seeker po ako ng 4weeks at nagconcentrate sa pgapply sa mga trabaho lamang na ayon sa profession ko, o sa skill sets na meron ako, o sa interest ko. di po Muna ako nagapply agad sa mga odd jobs sa kadahilanang kakainin lamang nito ang oras ko sa paghanap ng trabahong linya ko. last resort nlng po cguro odd jobs.

    sa pagaapply ng trabaho, importante po na 'targeted'. meaning, unahin applyan po mga roles or openings na cgurado kayong alam nyong gawin mula sa work experience nyo. nagrereflect po kse yan sa resume nyo unconsciously at madali po nila mkita yung my substance na resume sa 'ampaw'

    sa 'target' job opening po na nakita nyo, basahin po maigi yung job description (jd) at gamitin yung mga exact technical terms mula dun sa jd sa pagdescribe ng skills, experience at qualification nyo. natural nlng po ito at di pilit pg mga targeted job openings innapplyan nyo. i 'tailor-fit' po ntn lagi resume ntn para sa target job base sa jd nito.

    malaki tulong din po ang mga recruitment consultants gaya ng Hays etc sa pagsecure ng trabaho. kadalasan, sila po una nakakaalam kung sino mga kumpanya ang my opening dahil sa kuneksyons nila. pag ginamitan nyo resume nyo ng technical terms galing jb na sensible basahin, mlaki chance ishortlist resume nyo ng shortlisting software ng mga recruiter. wag po ntin punuin ng technical terms resume ntn kse spamming na po yun at di sya papasa sa software. pagnashortlist kayo, sila na po magmamatch sa inyo sa mga employer, sunod nyan ay interviews na.

    ang aim po nyo sa resume is to get the interview.

    pag nkasecure na po kayo ng interview, magpa abiso na po kayo sa minimum 2 job references nyo from past employment na bka icontact sila pra expecting sila. ito na po time na icoach nyo sila ano mga mganda nila isagot na pabor sa application mo.

    goodluck po at sana makatulong to at nakainspire sa mga naghahanap prin ng trabaho.
