    Hi guys, I was granted a Skilled Migrant Visa subclass 175 (Engineering Technologist) just last week. It only took a little over 3 months processing from lodge to grant, I was so ecstatic when I got the news. Now, I started to shift my focus to job prospecting through the internet and most of the experiences I've read so far are so disheartening. I have never been unemployed since graduating from college. And the concept of job-hunting for an average of 3 months scares me. I was hired by an IT Company in Cebu 1 month before graduations, currently I've been outsourced in Japan for almost 6 years now and my work experience and expertise are in the field of Wireless Technologies and Antenna Design. I like my work in JP but since I am just a contract worker I started eyeing Aussie for the long term, plus my Tita who has lived there for almost 20 years now urged me enthusiastically. I was really motivated and hopeful when I was applying for Visa, now that I have it and have read some people's experiences like how Aussie employers care so much about "local experience", I'm having second thoughts. How hard is it really to find a job in your field in Aussie? Do any of you guys have regrets?

    Agree ako sa iyo @LokiJr, kaya pala hinanahap ko yung response ko dito wala! Dun pala ako nag reply sa kanya sa kabilang thread..tsk tsk.

    Anyway, ang masasabi ko lang sa iyo @philAus2012, mapro-provide lang ng mga forumers sa iyo dito e information based on our experience at syempre moral support. Nasa sa iyo pa rin ang final decision. Lahat ng nag-migrate dito e walang "local experience" but most (if not all) of us survive. Kung pinanghihinaan ka ng loob, then migrating to Aus is not for you. Sorry if I sound so mean.

    Hi everyone. Just sharing some of our experiences. Nag-initial entry na po kami dito sa Sydney to test the waters.

    IMMIG/CUSTOMS
    Wala nmang hassle sa airport. May visa label ang passports namin (di kami galing pinas) at hindi naman hinanap yung visa grant letter. Di ko nga nakitang tiningnan ng officer yung visa. Nakita ko lang na ni-swipe nya yung passports tapos siguro na-relate na rin ng system yung passport numbers sa PR visa. No question. Nagjoke joke lang. Wala ring aberya sa customs. Since may dala kaming canned goods (corned beef, sisig, meatloaf), peanuts and noodles, nag-tick lang kami sa dalwang checkboxes ng form pertaining to "canned meat" and "nuts" items. Nag-confirm lang yung mokong kung may fresh fruits and raw/cooked meat, sabi ko canned meat lang. Nagtanong din kung may dala kaming polvoron, sabi ko wala (alam nyang pinoy kami :P). Bawal ata ang pagkain na may milk or egg na hindi thoroughly cooked/processed. Di na nya binuksan ang bags. BTW, before we left home, nilista namin in detail yung foodstuff and toiletries na dala namin. Wala nman akong nabasa na kelangang gawin to; just in case lang...

    ACCOMMODATION
    We're staying in a backpacker Strattons Hostel. Mura lang kaya di rin maganda. The other day may mga maiingay na housemates na umiinom sa hallway. Pwede na rin for a temporary stay. Dapat lang open ka makipag-share ng kwarto at kubeta sa ibat-ibang tao. It's in downtown kaya naglalakad lang kami. It's our third day today at di pa naman namin kinailangang sumakay ng bus or train. Madami din Asian restaurants/carinderia sa paligid kaya tuloy ang ligaya (ligaya=kanin). Kelangan ng kanin sa mga lakaran :))

    FREE INTERNET
    Since walang wifi sa hostel, tumatambay kami sa NSW state library para mag-internet at mag-apply apply. Bring your own laptop or pwedeng makigamit ng available computers (mabagal nga lang). You don't need to be a member para makigamit ng wifi. Pero kelangang member ka to use the computers kasi ie-enter mo yung member ID. I suggest na magregister kayo online or dito mismo; libre lang nman. 24 minutes per session sa public computers at kelangan mo mag-renew ng session every time -- kakaasar lalo na pag nag-aaply (isang laptop lng dala nmin). Pero mas ok na yun kesa magkape/kumain sa cafes para lang may free wifi.

    MEDICARE
    Nung Monday nagregister kami sa Medicare. It's located at 135 King St (inside the Glasshouse Mall). Nag-fillup na kami ng downloaded forms separately before kami pumunta. Ni-recommend sa min na under the same medicare account na lang kami ng wife ko. Same medicare number tapos parehong nasa card ang names namin. Two weeks ata ang hintay sa actual card. Binigyan lang muna kami ng temporary slip na nandun ang card details. Tapos binigay din yung info para ma-setup namin yung online account for medicare.

    BANK ACCT
    Di pa kami nag-open ng bank account kasi di pa naman sure na long-term ang stay namin ngayon. Dumaan lang kami sa nab para mag-inquire. Suggestion sa min, mag-open muna ng Everyday current account (no minimum/monthly charges) and online iSaver savings account (no minimum/monthly charges for online transactions). Di na kami pumunta sa ibang banks kasi sa tingin ko almost the same lang ang products nila. Later na nmin aalamin kung sino ang mapalad na pagdedeposituhan ng kaperahan namin.

    SIM CARD
    Bumili kami ng sim sa Woolworths para may mailagay na na local number sa resumes: http://www.woolworthsmobile.com.au/woolworths-prepaid-cap

    Overall nagustuhan namin ang Sydney. Parang US city lang naman pala down under. May areas na parang Boston or DC, may streets na parang Chicago, at meron ding parang San Francisco. Chilly weather lang nman kaya kayang kaya. Tsaka ang dami palang East Asians dito. Mukhang mga estudyante sila. Kokonti pa lang ang na-identify naming Pinoys -- yung mga nakasabay naming nagpapiktyur piktyur sa liwasan at yung nakasabay naming bumili ng saging sa Woolworths :))

    Can't wait to finally settle here...

Hindi sila nagbibigay ng drinking water na nasa cup kahit mamatay ka na sa uhaw :)) Kelangang may dala kang lalagyan. Mas ok kung i-fillup nyo na sa loob ng terminal bago mag-board. Yung in-flight food naman, mahal na hindi pa masarap. Mas ok din kung bili muna kayo ng food bago sumakay.

    as in pinapa rent ng mga air crew nila?? ok yun ah hahaha. how about yung upuan, di naman ba masikip? gaya ng SG-MLA na Cebu Pac, kailangan pang tumayo ng mga katabi mo para lang maka labas ka kung gusto mo mag CR.

    @LokiJr : hindi po ba standard operating procedure ng lahat ng airlines yun? pwede na magbukas ng electronics pag nasa taas na? ako kasi di ko na pinapakinggan mga announcement kung pwede na or hindi pa pwede buksan ang electronics e. basta pagsakay ko ng plane, naka-airplane mode na ang phone ko. hindi ko pinapatay kahit sa takeoff or landing...buhay pa naman ako ngayon. hehe

    Scoot is a refurbished SQ plane - the seats were probably redone to make it look new.

    ang ipads are in flight mode, pwede gamitin after plane is in cruising altitude. :)
