guys, punta kami Melbourne and Sydney 2 weeks from now para sa IED namin. Balitaan ko kayo.
I suggest mag member din kayo sa FB page ng pinoyau Sydney at Melbourne. Baka me mga opportunities na ishare ang mga ka pinoyau natin doon. Me nakuha akong job opportunity doon sa isang ka pinoyau natin at naisubmit na sa hiring manager CV ko. Sana mainterview ako pagpunta namin this Mar. hehehe. Kung online daw at direct kong isasubmit yun CV ko, (kase naka post naman sa website nila job opening) hindi daw papansinin yun. Like what I heard all this time, mukhang network talaga ang labanan para makakuha ng work sa Oz. So sa mga pupunta na ng Oz, start making those connections.
@romel78 nice. Sana matanggap ka
Balitaan mo kami sa IE nyo. Sydney at Melbourne din namin balak

Hello everyone. Nakapag-lodge na din kami sa wakas ng visa. Medyo matagalan dahil sa mga school documents. Hopefully mabilis ma-grant. Nag-update po ako ng tracker ng March for Visa lodge. Good luck po sa lahat ng nag-a-apply at congrats sa lahat ng nakatanggap na ng grant. God bless us all!

Hi, question regarding middle names.. Sa EOI ko kasi di ko sinama ang middle name ko sa given name ko, dapat ba if mag lodge na ko, ganun pa rin? or pwede ko pa rin idagdag ang middle name ko? thanks..

@zilch ang advice po ng agent ko regarding names ay naging consistent from start to finish. For my case, ginamit ko ang middle name ko from skills assessment to lodge. Let's see the response from others.

pwede bang mag post ako ng tracker? *feeling blessed* din. medyo kakaiba ung saken. I overclaimed pero na grant pa rin. di ko napansin ung "Skill Level Requirement Met Date". Salamat sa mga post dito at sa mga sumasagot ng mga tanong. ung iba hindi ko na kailangan itanong kasi andito na lahat ng sagot.
zilchMandaluyong Posts: 30Member Joined: Nov 06, 2016
1. okay lang bang computerized instead na hand written ung form 80? 2. In #17, address history, pano po lalagay ko if ganito ang situation? During weekdays, sa Makati ako nag stay then every Friday/weekends, umuuwi naman ako ng province. More than 3 years na kame sa place namin sa Makati, sa province naman, since birth ko dun na ko nakatira. 3. #19 Unemployment, do we really need to include unemployment from birth? Also, if required ang practicum/ojt sa undergrad degree, need din bang isama yun? 4. #47 Personal Contacts - pwede bang one or two contacts lang ang ilagaya? May mga kaibigan kasi ako dyan sa Australia pati na rin mga relatives.
Thanks po sa mga sasagot!

@tweety11 Thanks! Tingin ko lng naman overclaim ako kung ang basis talaga ay yung skills from assessing bodies. Eto ung years of Work Experience ko.
Total Working Exp : 12yrs 4 months Total Related Exp : 11yrs Total Assessment Exp: 07yrs Total Accredited Exp : 03yrs (+ 4mos to date of grant)
kaya dapat 5 points lng ako sa work experience sa EOI pa lng dapat di na ako pasok. napansin ko na lng nung almost nasubmit ko na lahat. Not sure if they consider ung mga previous trips ko sa Australia. Pero swerte na rin talaga at hindi na refuse kasi sayang ung visa fee.
Eto timeline ko if anyone is interested to know how I processed my application.

@bartman24 mukha naman naconsider ng CO ang lahat ng employment mo kaya binigyan ka pa rin ng 15 points. DIBP pa rin naman kasi ang may final say kung ilang points ang ibibigay sa iyo. risky nga lang nangyari sa iyo kaya swerte talaga. congrats ulit!

I suggest mag member din kayo sa FB page ng pinoyau Sydney at Melbourne. Baka me mga opportunities na ishare ang mga ka pinoyau natin doon. Me nakuha akong job opportunity doon sa isang ka pinoyau natin at naisubmit na sa hiring manager CV ko. Sana mainterview ako pagpunta namin this Mar. hehehe. Kung online daw at direct kong isasubmit yun CV ko, (kase naka post naman sa website nila job opening) hindi daw papansinin yun. Like what I heard all this time, mukhang network talaga ang labanan para makakuha ng work sa Oz. So sa mga pupunta na ng Oz, start making those connections.

some questions naman po in filling up Form 80:
1. okay lang bang computerized instead na hand written ung form 80?
2. In #17, address history, pano po lalagay ko if ganito ang situation? During weekdays, sa Makati ako nag stay then every Friday/weekends, umuuwi naman ako ng province. More than 3 years na kame sa place namin sa Makati, sa province naman, since birth ko dun na ko nakatira.
3. #19 Unemployment, do we really need to include unemployment from birth? Also, if required ang practicum/ojt sa undergrad degree, need din bang isama yun?
4. #47 Personal Contacts - pwede bang one or two contacts lang ang ilagaya? May mga kaibigan kasi ako dyan sa Australia pati na rin mga relatives.
Thanks po sa mga sasagot!

@tweety11 Thanks! Tingin ko lng naman overclaim ako kung ang basis talaga ay yung skills from assessing bodies. Eto ung years of Work Experience ko.
Total Working Exp : 12yrs 4 months
Total Related Exp : 11yrs
Total Assessment Exp: 07yrs
Total Accredited Exp : 03yrs (+ 4mos to date of grant)
kaya dapat 5 points lng ako sa work experience sa EOI pa lng dapat di na ako pasok. napansin ko na lng nung almost nasubmit ko na lahat. Not sure if they consider ung mga previous trips ko sa Australia. Pero swerte na rin talaga at hindi na refuse kasi sayang ung visa fee.
Eto timeline ko if anyone is interested to know how I processed my application.
