Good day to all!

I hope everybody is doing well!

1st post ko dito after lurking for almost a month. OK, I'll ask you all straight to the point.

Mahirap ba mag hanap ng trabaho sa Australia? Specifically in IT field?

e.g Programmer/System Analyst/Developer Programmer and etc.

a short background to my self: I'm 28 with 7-8 years IT experience working "abroad" (<- this abroad place is not for long term, that is why Im planning to migrate to Australia. ), I'm married with no child yet.<br />

Thank you in advance for replying my query. I hope someday I can help also those who are in need of

    You may check out http://ninemsn.seek.com.au for any job vacancies. What several people do is they apply for 175 visa from where they are right now and once it's approved, they use that site to look for jobs and schedule interviews....That way pag nasa Australia ka na, may sure job ka na :)

    Dear Aldousnow and others,

    I am starting out on the path that you traversed long ago and just wanted a little guidance.
    For ACS Assessment:-
    • I have a Bachelor of Technology Degree in Computer Science (4 years).
    • I have Microsoft Certifications. Two are latest.
    • I have around 8 years experience in core .Net Development field.

    However none of my experience letters fulfill all criteria as specified by ACS. Here are details:-

    • Start & Finish Dates of Employment - This criteria is fulfilled.
    • Description of Duties Performed - Missing. They contain the role or title only.
    • Hours worked - Full time or Part time - Do not mention explicitly.
    • Country of Employment - Do not mention explicitly but is evident from letterhead.
    • Company Letterhead and signed by the author - This criteria is fulfilled.

    So did you faced such issue and if yes what was the impact. Did you ask your previous organisation to give letters in format prescribed as sample by ACS.

    In anticipation of a response.

    Thanks,
    Rajat Tiwari

    I am not aware of the requirements of ACS but from what I can see, your dilemma is mainly on the employment certificate wherein (1) hours worked was not specified and (2) duties were not placed in details.

    Try asking HR from your firm to give you a certificate of employment that is in accordance to the requirements - hope this will not be too much to ask them though!

    Cheers!

    Put it this way, mas lesser chance ka to be approved a visa if you migrate at age more than 40 as you will be claiming lesser points for age as compared perhaps to a 30 yr old lady... :)

    @rajattiwari you can create a version which ACS requires and ask your HR to have it instead of their template for COE's (this is what I did on my case). Otherwise, you create a statutory declaration and have it signed by a senior colleague, supervisor, etc. Check ACS guidelines for more info.

    @pnoy_ano Actually the very reason why the Australian government prefers 'younger' migrants in their country is that the younger you are, the more years you have paying taxes. Sa Australia kasi 55 palang retirement na iniisip nila e...

    So to answer your question, absolutely, may employer diyan na willing magsponsor sa inyo considering your work experience...Kelangan lang maghanap nang mabuti hehe

    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?

    @philAus2012 Since you have your Tita who lives in Aus wala ka dapat ikatakot dahil kahit papaano may masasandalan ka. Yun ngang iba na walang kamag-anak dito (like me) naka survive ano kinatatakot mo? If you wouldn't try, nothing will happen to you. Lakasan lang ng loob yan.

    Johnandjosh is right. Im in the same boat as him. wala akong kakilala at walang tutulong or matirhan when I arrived and the economy was bad at that time. Like Moses, pray to God and trust in him. If Moses didnt take the first step in the water, the Red Sea wont part.

    @philAus2012 I would say, somehow, it's really a leap of faith because of the many unknowns. Perhaps the question is, what are your priorities/goals? Eventually would you like to be a permanent resident of another country like Au? Or just save up money with your work in Japan and go back to the Philippines pa rin? :) Do you want to secure your current position in your career? Because if ever you would migrate, you would have to start building your profile again, make new connections and move out of your comfort zone. But then hindi natin alam, bka an employer in AU can offer your goal position right away.

    Many would say tough nga tlga makahanap ng work in AU given na wala pang local experience yung mga nagmmigrate hehe For some challenging but I have also seen success stories kahit dito sa pinoyau. May mga nabigyan ng work even before flying out to AU.

    For me personally, it all boils down to trusting in the LORD with whatever plans He has in store for you. He has allowed you to have that visa and He won't add any troubles to that blessing. :) Continue to pray and seek His will about your plans to leave for AU. Sa totoo lang kahit matagal na kaming granted ng visa and we can leave na technically anytime, everyday we're still praying for good favor when we are about to leave na. And of course for us, maganda sana if we can leave na may work na tlga kaya tlgang nakaka-relate ako sa kwento mo... Kahit ako comfort zone ko na dito sa Pinas and pag naiisip ko na yung chores sa Australia, ako lahat gagawa, tlgang I need more of God's grace everyday. hehehe But then who knows, maybe it's time to take our faith to a higher level. :) Tama yung mga advise nila sayo dito. At the end of the day, it is still you who gets to decide naman but heed from what God has to say to you. :)

    Parang fresh grad experience lang yan e hehe...Pag fresh grad ka, hirap din makahanap ng trabaho kasi 'kulang sa work experience'...but if you can weather out the first years of being a newbie, it pays off eventually.

    Mahirap talaga magsimula nang bago but hearing the testimonies of our friends in Australia...mukhang sulit naman lahat hehe

    Dear Aldousnow and others,

    I am starting out on the path that you traversed long ago and just wanted a little guidance.
    For ACS Assessment:-
    • I have a Bachelor of Technology Degree in Computer Science (4 years).
    • I have Microsoft Certifications. Two are latest.
    • I have around 8 years experience in core .Net Development field.

    However none of my experience letters fulfill all criteria as specified by ACS. Here are details:-

    • Start & Finish Dates of Employment - This criteria is fulfilled.
    • Description of Duties Performed - Missing. They contain the role or title only.
    • Hours worked - Full time or Part time - Do not mention explicitly.
    • Country of Employment - Do not mention explicitly but is evident from letterhead.
    • Company Letterhead and signed by the author - This criteria is fulfilled.

    So did you faced such issue and if yes what was the impact. Did you ask your previous organisation to give letters in format prescribed as sample by ACS.

    In anticipation of a response.

    Thanks,
    Rajat Tiwari

    @rajattiwari I've already checked your experience letters. Yep, you need to revise these letters. These are somewhat the same format as a Certificate of Employment. I can send you my own format that I've used for ACS as well. I hope that helps.

    Hello,

    My hubby and I are currently working in Singapore. We are both Registered nurses in the Philippines but not in SG. My position here is as a clinic assistant ( independent primary health care setting) and my hubby landed a job in Nursing Home which has been really difficult and degrading according to my husband. I don't have a hospital experience but my hubby had. He also was a ship Nurse prior to his work in SG. With our current position and work experience here in Singapore, would any of you know if these are in demand in Australia or is there a hope for this line of work in Australia. We are grateful of being given the chance to work in SG but it's becoming really hard for us here lately as options for self growth as well as the chance of having a PR status is very slim. We are in our mid 20s and early 30s. Hope someone can give us an info.

    Thank you and God bless! :)

    there is a thread for nurses here... hanap mo nalang but i can recall, you need to study nursing here (length is dependent on your experience i guess) in order to be able to get your nursing license.

    all the best.
