@hennessy Thanks for the reply..

hennessy · November 2016

@m_chie1609 hello, IT ako, Business Analyst. Pumunta kmi dito ng walang work. 3mos ako ngantay sa work. Mostly kse ng employers dito gusto nandito na ang candidate for personal interviews pero baka sa iba ok lng ang skype, wala pa ako nabalitaan na nakakuha ng work dito bago mgmigrate pero meron yung compny nila jan sa pinas eh meron din sito sa australia so an ngyyre is lipat lang. pero un tlgang new job na sa pinas pa nakuha prang wala pako nabalitaan, pero baka sa iba meron. Usually kse tlga 2-3mos ang average waiting time to find a job. Yung iba mg oodd jobs muna while waiting for the right job, pero hindi rin madali matanggap sa odd job, like me ang dami ko inaplyan, as in lahat name it naaplyan ko kahit dishwasher pero hindi ako tinangap kse overqualified daw. God is good. His timing is always right. Minsan kasi sa gigil natin mgkawork lalo nagiging mailap. Bsta do ur part na everyday magapply, galingan sa interview then bahala na si Lord.

God bless!

Salamat ng marami bro sa mga info na share mo. God bless!

Un xerox ng passbook namin pinas at dito pinasa din, at pnkamabigat ngoffer kmi ng advance payment for 2mos. Personal references na taga dito Australia, di ko na maalala ano pa pinasa namin pra sa approval ng bahay. Hehe @Anino78

patrick_gn2 · November 2016

Hi All, any info about settlement funds for 190? may nabasa kasi kaming required na may certain na amount in cash at asset forms ang kailangan when applying in SS? TIA to all!

jedh_g · November 2016

@hennessy I agree with you. Turn around time for aussie employers is 3-4 weeks after job interview. Sana din mag positive na rin apply ko dito sa Perth airport as ground air crew support. Good luck sa lahat ng job seekers.

hennessy · November 2016

Dito sa australia pag gsto ka gsto ka, d na patatagalin. For example ako 3 days lng process from interview to job offer, same sa mga naging kaibigan namin dito, interview naun hapon my tawag agad kinabukasan job offer. @jedh_g

jedh_g · November 2016

@hennessy good for you mate magaling ka. In my job industry, by batch kasi sa aviation ang job hiring ng applicants. Very prompt naman ang mga employers in informing you of their cycle time of qualifying/screening process kasi mahigpit ang safety compliance sa eroplano.

hennessy · November 2016

Hindi sa galing. Nsa timing ng Diyos kabayan. 3mos ako bago nakahanap ng work. Lahat inaplyan ko pti odd jobs wala pa din nun. Gang sa dumating tong work ko naun. @jedh_g

jmban33 · November 2016

@hennessy Salams bro sa detailed expenses

jedh_g · November 2016

@hennessy wala tayong mararating kung 'di sa Diyos na may bigay ng abilidad natin. Kaya ang natutunan ko dito sa Australia, we always stay humble. All the best sa atin lahat & GOD bless O:-)

jmban33 · November 2016

@jedh_g Bro musta

jedh_g · November 2016

@jmban33 kapatid ok naman. Heto mag 2 weeks na ako dito sa Perth. So far Australia had a pleasant welcome to me. I'm staying now with a high school friend in a beautiful suburb, a private estate. Still finding a job. I applied in an airport which is 30 minutes away from here. Excited for my family to arrive in the next few weeks. Musta na rin?

elleb1 · November 2016

@jedh_g hello malapit na dumating family mo, wishing you and your family a merry christmas! And syempre God bless on you job application, I know you can get it :-)

jedh_g · November 2016

@elleb1 thank mate you too. Excited to drive them around ellenbrook suburb here at Perth WA. Merry Christmas too!

Cassey · November 2016

Hello mga batchmates, anyone looking for a fulltime job? Pharmacy Assistant position.

jedh_g · November 2016

@Cassey hello. I was amazed to step in Perth WA that pharmacist (known as chemist here) can review and notarize for official documents such as college diploma, transcript of records and even passport.

Unlike in the Philippines, only attorney at law can do this by profession.

Warm regards!

Cassey · November 2016

@jedh_g Hello, how have you been? Yes, pharmacists and nurses can notarize even in post office they do that too. I'm glad you're settling in well.

I hope you'll get the job in the airport. Practice na sa pagdadrive dito, hehe God bless.

jedh_g · November 2016

@Cassey yeah thanks. I already have a car and driving within the suburb at the start pero nakakalayo na rin when needed on weekends during park outing. I have it insured also.

Hopefully, I could make it thru the DKT and the practical assessment test. So far so good.

I am praying for the airport job. Who knows, baka I am the one who shall soon transfer your baggage in one of the busy airports here in WA. Praying for this one. Regards Mate!
