Application should be at their careers site. June Roadshow, may posting sila specifically for relocation. Be mindful, there's separate for functional (manual) and technical (automation). You may also want to check their fb page, from time to time may advice rin sila doon. I got the news thru a referral.

1. You will recieve a relocation contract, wherein nkalagay ang - Position, Salary, Basic Function
2. On ur side, you need to sign the read and sign the contract - EVERY PAGE.
3. Once signed you need to scan and send it all back to planit
4. Once planit acknowledge the signed contract dun na po nila ibbgay sa agency ang details nio
5. The agency will then contact you for all the required docs to process the visa
6. Kasabay ng pagcontact sa inyo ng embassy ang other 2 entities, which ung isa prang will verify ur identity and the other one is to get ur character reference
Hope this helps

Did 7 interviews in total including an exam in SG. Still didn't make it. Offer is 65k-90k NZD for NZ hires and 60-95k AUD for AU hires. With almost 40%+ deduction (tax/sup), that leaves you with around 57k AUD assuming you'd get the higher end of the deal. That's around 4700 AUD/mo. Minus house rent/health insurance (1500/200) that leaves you with about 3000AUD more or less or about 100kPHP. Babawasan pa ng transpo/food, wala na matitira panghulog ng condo sa pinas at padala kay inay at itay. Tali ka pa for 2 years, saklap. Kaya mag independent visa application na lang kayo if skilled kayo, otherwise grab nyo na lang din to para +points for local experience. Tiis tiis na lang muna kumbaga.

1. Sorry to hear that you did not make it. I will be frustrated too, if that happened to me.
2. Don't discourage others.
3. Confidentiality.
Congrats to those who got the offer. Worth it ang mga pinaghirapan nyo. Sa iba na hindi pinalad, if decided talaga kayo, try and try lang. Take note maraming success stories, and you will be inspired once you hear them.

1. Forget about what other people are saying. Iba iba kayo ng situation.
2. Believe me. Ang daming naka more than 3 tries then nakapasok. So try lang ng try wala naman mawawala. In fact madami ka matutunan like lung ano kulang na skill mo or ano ba trend or demand based sa.exams/interview
3. Pag nakapasok ka..... kung ikaw lang nag work sa pinas. Baka sakto lang sahod. Pero isipin mo.... kung ano man bayarin mo sa pinas.... like condo or bahay. Investment yun.
Also... depende naman sa luho mo ang matitira sa sahod mo.
Kung may asawa ka... lahat ng kita nya pedeng savings or at least half nun. Which I am sure mas malaki sa pinas.
4. Walang mangyayari sa application ninyo kung gusto niyo spoon feeding. Hingi kayo tips ano ba klase ang exam but not the content or questions kasi iba iba talaga.
Practice on how to answer questions short and sweet.
5. Sa interviews..... sagot lang kayo base sa experience ninyo. Be truthful.
Wag pabibo. Experienced Manager / Recruiters can smell BS a mile away.
6. Pray. And pag nakalusot ka help others. PAY IT FORWARD.
Ang offer sayo inyo is Market Rate. Hindi kayo magiging underpaid so dnt worry
