    @batman haba ng message ko pero konte lang napasok baka dahil sa signal dito pilipinas. bawasan ko nlang siguro mga worries ko. nbbasa ko kasi dto PR and citizen ung priority ng employer sa applicant. tama ka basta magakroon ng trabaho un ang mahalaga kesa wala.

    @DreamerA true na priority nila mga PR at citizen. pero meron din naman nahire on temp visa. Hangga't wala ka dito you will never know your chances. pag may PR visa ka na, apply lang ng apply kahit offshore, may mga naswertihan din namn na nahahire kahit hindi pa nakaBM.

    @DreamerA Yes, priority nila PR and citizen. As long as meron ka work rights, kukunin ka nila, kahit hindi PR. Wag ka lang mapili sa trabaho.

    Also, kung mag aapply ka ng office admin jobs, mahihirapan ka kung ganyan English and spelling mo (no offense meant).

    @japsdotcom mahirap ang IT dito. PR ako pero hirap pa din ako dito sa Canberra kasi ang kailangan nila, may security clearance, which is only for citizens. Minsan, nabibigyan ng exception from clearance pag tlgang wala sila mahanap sa field na yun at napaka specialised ng field.
    Also, may kilala din naman ako na kahit PR, na hire. Pero PR yun. Malabo ata change pag 457 or 482.
    Ano specialisation mo?

    @bookworm okay at least me chances padin. sa english ko at spelling subukan ko nalang ang swerte ko. madalas tlaga sa mga kapwa pilipino too easy to judge lalo na pag inglesan ang usapan unlike foreigners. ( no offense meant ). salamat sa iyong pag sagot.

    nako, wag kang papaapekto sa mga negative people mapa-forum man o nakakasalamuha mo sa araw araw. iba iba ang deskarte ng bawat isa satin, hindi dahil ibig sabihin na mahirap makahanap ng work sa field mo ay wala ng work available. as long as may work rights ka, try lang ng try. :D

    @DreamerA hindi ako nag judge, sinabi ko lang na kapag office admin jobs, isa yan sa kailangan na skill. Kasi pag di ka nila maintindihan, pipili na lang sila ng iba, since madami ang mag apply ng ganyang trabaho.

    Pero madami naman trabho. Nag trabaho ako ng mahigit isang taon sa woolies. Gusto kami ng amo kasi mas service tlga pag pinoy. cheers.

    @DreamerA
    Mas maigi po na hintayin yung PR visa para bawas sakit sa ulo. Ideally before you make the move meron kayong sapat na ipon for your expenses while looking for work. Usually nauuna yung mga husbands na mag move then once settled saka susunod buong family.

    Nagbago na rin yung policy for temporary visas just this year. Dati yung mga British backpackers nakakahanap ng work agad as recruiters pero ngayon di na yan basta basta possible.

    Once you get the PR you can apply for any job. Siyempre marami competition lalo na kung office admin kasi kahit mga local students pinapart time din nila yan.

Kahit anong work muna Okay na basta kumikita din. ano nga po pala line of work mo?

    @DreamerA
    Anong current visa ng husband mo?

    For odd jobs, marami naman kung marami but you have to be here na to apply. And just like what I’ve said marami ring competition but bottomline, mas malaki chances for odd jobs kung nandito ka na.

    Some casual jobs kailangan ng certificate like RSA/RCG for working in a pub etc.

    Just checking sa seek maraming naghahanap ng disability support workers for casual basis, some of them wala namang experience/certification required. Take note this is not the same as working as a caregiver or in a nursing home.

    Mag ingat na lang sa mga cash on hand na jobs kasi usually illegal yan. Mahigpit po ang patakaran dito about minimum wage.

    IT yung field ko.

    I haven't heard a lot of success around people coming in with tourist visas and being able to secure stable jobs. It's not like in the US or even in Dubai, mas strict sila dito when it comes to foreign workers.
