@LakiMasel ,@karlboy,@yosh10 salamat sa mga inputs nyo. Mag 2 months na ako sa work kaya pinag iisipan ko to continue or leave, kaso mahirap din kung aalis na walang malipatan. Tama, open naman ako sa mgt na dami talaga kailangang malaman at new ako sa industry nila, kaiba lang talaga na parang walang pwd mag support maliban dun sa aalis, at ako lang mag isa sa department. hahaha. God bless sa lahat, specially sa mga naghahanap ng work, at sa mga nag aadjust sa working condition nila.

Kayang kaya nyo po yan!

Hanap ka diversion 'outside working hours'. That way you think less of whats going around your struggles sa work. After all we dont just exist to pay bills. Hanap ka community to join, sports, extra income, travel nearby pra less gastos-- ease out! we cnt control the things around us as they say

Laban lang!

Hello po,
Question po. Medyo malungkot lang kasi ako ngayon or depressed.
Kaya po ba ako nahihirapan maghanap ng work dahil wala pa ako sa Aus? Parang nato-trauma na tuloy po ako. Tingin ko po magaling naman ako or marunong. 11 years na din ako nagwo-work sa field ko.

Pero ayun parang nanghihina na loob ko tuloy na pumunta sa Aus. May family pa naman ako.

Hey everyone. Ako yung threadstarter ng discussion na ito. Grabe, 6 years na din pala itong thread na ito.

Sa awa naman ng Dyos ay naging okay kami. Bago ako lumapag dito sa Australia ay may work na ako. Nakabili na din ako ng bahay ko after two years and may 2 years old na ako Australian citizen (and may anak din ako na US citizen haha proud na proud eh noh hahaha).

At ngayon ay Australian Citizen na kaming lahat. Kakatapos lang ng ceremony ngayong gabi so tapos na ang journey namin bilang immigrant. I guess ppahinga muna ako and chillax and work and family ang iisipin ko muna and magta-travel na kami gamit ang Australian passport namin soon hehehe.

Medyo mahirap sa umpisa talaga. Sa laki ng katawan ko hahaha ay iniiyakan ko yung mga hirap pero natapos din sa wakas.

Tyaga tyaga lang kayo and have faith na magiging okay ang lahat. Normal lang ma-anxious kasi ganun talaga eh. Hindi ka tao kung di ka kakabahan.

Megger · August 2019

@LakiMasel, congrats! nakailang job ka in 6 years? Nakaka inspire yong mga success story nyo.

trixiajhem · August 2019

maguero · August 2019

@trixiajhem Ano yung work experience ninyo & kung yan ang magiging nominated occupation mo, nasa MLTSSL or STSOL ba? May assessing authorities na okay lang kahit hindi related ang course sa nominated occupation basta meron kang enough years of working experience. Kung pwede kang mag-apply for a Skilled Immigrant Visa 189, 190 or 491 yun na lang itarget mo instead of student visa para full work rights ka and hindi mo kailangan isipin ang tuition.

trixiajhem · August 2019

@maguero thank you po sa time and feedback mo..honestly wla po talaga akong enough knowledge dito sa tatahakin ko eto lng po ang pagiging student yung nkita ko na mas nka kita ako agad nang steps on how to do it actually work k ngayun is nasa office garment industry and seems like hindi ito skilled i am not sure lng din paano po ba mg check kng kasali ba yung field ko for skilled immigrant pasensya sa inyu talaga ha. salamt po

maguero · August 2019

@trixiajhem Tignan mo sa list na ito kung may occupation na malapit sa ginagawa mo ngayon https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skill-occupation-list

Kung meron. Tignan mo dito yung detailed list of tasks na dapat ginagawa ng nasa role na yan www.anzscosearch.com/search/ at kung ginagawa mo na ngayon.

Tapos nakasulat din sa list kung sino ang assessing body. Basahin mo yung requirements nila for successful skills assessment.

Basta masipag la magbasa matututunan mo kung ano mga kailangan. Tsaka kahit magstudent visa ka, pag mag-aaply ka na for an immigrant visa gagawin mo pa rin naman yan. Unless makahanap ka ng employer na magssponsor sa iyo.

jaygarreth · August 2019

hi, may nakatry na sa inyo dito mag-apply ng "WORK FOR ACCOMODATION". Just want to know your comments if feasible ito as an alternative while waiting/ looking for a professional job. Parang ang mahal kasi ng rent sa house if magstart ka pa lang. I want to know your thoughts regarding this. Thank you.

Hindi ko pa na-try ito but i heard stories. Usually mga farm hand jobs ito wherein you will help the farmers harvest their produce in exchange for money, accomodation and food.

May good and bad stories ito so you have to be careful kasi nasa isolated place ka wherein di ka masyadong makaka navigate basta basta. Probably join some backpackers group at baka mas maraming input from them.

frisch24 · August 2019

@jaygarreth honestly, for the past 4 years ko dito sa Melbourne, i haven't seen any work for accommodation. Possible cgro cya sa country side, tulad ng mga nag working holiday visa, kasi sa fields sila nagtatrabaho. Ginagawa ng employers yun kasi mahihirapan yung tao nila maghanap ng matutuluyan kasi malalayo ang bahay s country side. Pero take note, hindi kasama ang Philippines sa countries n pdeng kumuha ng working holiday visa. The government is planning but haven't finalised it yet.

thank you @frisch24. i could only imagine the situation based on your statements. Can you suggest of other alternative work na pedeng applyan? I am just putting myself in the worst case scenario once i got there. Looking for any advise from you guys. Thank you and God Bless.

frisch24 · August 2019

@jaygarreth usually odd jobs like cleaning, kitchenhand, pick packing. It would be beneficial though to know people so they can refer you. Most of my odd jobs were just referral. But i did got lucky with gum tree, pra makahanap ng part time ko. Dun ko rin nahanap yung unang job ko s IT.

btw, ano bang target mo n work?

for the odd jobs i dont know yet. lol. i'm lab scientist by the way. im preparing myself for the possibilities of no work for 3- 6 months so just researching on the steps needed to survive within those months. i read about working in Hostels?

frisch24 · August 2019

@jaygarreth yes, housekeeping is a good option too. As far as I know klngn mabilis k maglinis at magpalit ng bed sheets etc.

Mag-aaral k pla b dito?

jaygarreth · August 2019

Hmm. Nope. @frisch24. I'm applying for PR. Base sa mga nababasa ko, kelangan talaga ng Plano at handa ka pagpunta Dyan. Lalo na at wala ako relatives Jan. Lol.

frisch24 · August 2019

try mo humanap ng work na inline sa ginagawa mo now. para mabilis ka makabalik sa current level mo. try mo same industry sa industry mo now. i am sure, within 2 months, meron na yan. baka lang, 2 to 4 level lower in term of the job title ang makuha mo. pero ok lang yun, basta papunta ka dun sa same work mo as now. pinas ka ba? kasi if makuha mo yung same position dito as yung position mo sa pinas, ok na yun. yun dapat goal mo, dun ka dapat papunta

frisch24 · August 2019

@jaygarreth i agree with @xiaolico that yung aim mo is makuha yung same line mo. kaya ko natanong kung student ka kasi yung aim mo is odd jobs. nagodd jobs lng rn ako dati kasi student ako, then nakahanap rin ako ng work na IT after a few months.;)

If lets say, wala talaga, example lang IT ha. if IT ka at di ka talaga maka chamba. if mag decide ka mag retail, try mo computer shop. or kahit cell phone, anything na medyo technical. para at least yung resume mo, kumakarga pa din. yung local experience mo, in line pa din sa skills mo. skills sa resume mo.

jaygarreth · September 2019

hmm. i agree @xiaolico @frisch24 . nasa healthcare ung industry ko , so i should look for jobs on that area. Nag-explore pa lang kasi ako. i dont really know anything pa sa Australia. Im still here in the Philippines and processing my PR. Thank you for the advices. Big help!:)

frisch24 · September 2019

@jaygarreth healthcare like nursing? Marami jobs like aged care and child care dito. Kelangan mo nga lng kumuha ng certificate, i think, kung ala or kulang ka s experience.

juliatheambitiousoul · September 2019

@LakiMasel wow congrats!! Mahirap nga tlga sa una. Ang dami adjustments. 😊

For those who are working and are studying, pwede naman sya iclaim as self-education as long as it is elgible. Here's a link - https://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Income-and-deductions/Deductions-you-can-claim/Self-education-expenses/

Lakasan lang ng loob yan mga kabayan.
Must have a plan and right mindset. No need for Plan B. Plan B will just hold you back on your goal.
I moved here 12years ago with only $200 on pocket. Worked in labour jobs the following weekend to have money while applying for engineering job. After 2 months, I got an engineering job and the rest is history.
I met lots of pinoy (like dentist, nurse,IT manager, Bznes manager, Accntant at madami pang iba) na nagwowork sa warehouse. Happy naman sila at kontento sa work so hnd na sila naghanap sa linya nila. Yun ibang pinoy may crab mentality sasabihin sa iyo hindi mo mapapraktis un profession mo dito or hindi ka makakakuha ng work sa linya mo. They pull you down. They put your morale down but it’s up to you if you’ll give up on your goal / dream.
Goodluck everyone.
