    hey guys, ngayon lang ako ulit nakavisit dito sa forums, pero I read the recent posts and felt like sharing our BM experience.

    dumating kami ng wife ko sa Sydney nung July to treat ourselves and met with some of my relatives for the first time.

    lumipad kami to Melbourne 3 days later at dumirecho kami sa nabook namin na Airbnb. swerte kami kasi Filipino ung host and they gave us a warm welcome. nakatulong rin sa pagadjust kahit papaano kasi wala kami kilala sa Melbourne at all.

    nagstart na ko agad to scout for jobs and narealize ko na sobrang tumal. i have a niche skill as an SAP Developer at sobrang steep ng requirements nila dito. I met with a recruiter at the end of August pero palagay ko pinagpraktisan lang ako nun kasi bigla nalang nangghost.

    lumipat naman kami sa CBD and nagtry ako magapply sa ibang roles buong September pero wala rin napala.

    sobrang naddown na ko kasi mukhang useless pala ung 7 years of experience ko. every month ako nagrerevise ng resume and cover letter pero siempre hanggang dun lang naman magagawa nun, in the end, kailangan parin ng right skillset - un ung wala ako.

    andali itype nung experience pero hours upon hours upon hours ang naubos ko kakaresearch. feeling ko nagkaron na ko ng anxiety and slight depression. kaya tumigil muna ako recently sa paghahanap, nakatulong naman kasi napahinga ung isip ko. nakatulong rin ung pagresearch kahit nakakadrain kasi nagkaron na ko ng sense of direction kung pano ako maguupskill, kaso kailangan parin talaga muna makahanap ng temporary work para makasurvive.

    sobrang salungat naman ung story ng wife ko, mejo smooth sailing yung sa side nya kasi nagcampus tour siya sa dalawang schools and nakapagenroll siya sa gusto nya na school. regularly siya pumapasok ngayon at kung magaapply siya ng work, feeling ko mabilis siya makakakuha since uso hospitality work dito.

    marami pa ko stories in between pero baka masyado humaba. mas interesting pa naman mga yon pero next time naman ulit.

    I feel you. Puro interviews at technical exams dito. May mga pinapasa, merong wala. Minsan aabot sa interview pero minsan brutal maginterview yung mga anaps. In time magkakaron rin alam ko pero challenge sakin yung wala mag ina ko. Kapit lang. I know this is the right decision pero kelangan ng time.

    Hi! It depends on your State. We are in SA and 489 visa holders are treated as locals when enrolling in govt schools so miscellaneous charge lang ang babayaran.

    PTE Writing Tips

    For writing essay I used E2 language format and applying what I learned from Ielts. Sa intro, sa 1st sentence ni restate ko lang yung question using my own words. Then sa 2nd sentence if one sided lang yung question, I give summary of the reasons ( 2 reasons only). Example, if ang essay is about importance of computers (one sided), eto 2nd sentence ko. Computers are valuable resources as they (1st reason) aid in learning and are (2nd reason) used to communicate with others. Then sa 3rd sentence sasabihin ko para pampahaba-- In this essay, I shall discuss my point of view by giving points and examples about the topic.

    Then sa 2nd paragraph, elaborate ko na ang 1St reason. Mga 2 sentences na magsupport sa 1st reason, like if yung 1st reason ko is aid in learning, expand ko ang topic by answering how computers aid in learning,etc. Usually yung reason mo convert mo by asking how, what, when, or who. Tapos sa 3rd sentence, I state examples. Pwede ka din mag add pa ng 4th sentence parang isummarize mo lang ang 2nd paragraph.

    Sa 3rd paragraph discuss naman ang 3rd reason same sa ginawa sa 2nd par.

    4Th paragraph 1st sentence conclusion, then 2nd sentence recommendation.

    If 2 sided naman yung intro pwede mo gamitin yung nasa template like kina Heprex na samples. Then yung 2nd par yung kabilang side, then yung 3rd paragraph yung other side. Tapos same last paragraph.

    If medyo nahihirapan ka sa mga ideas, research ka dito sa forum ng mga recent topics. Tapos based dun sa topic reasearch ka anong pwedeng maging points and reasons para may idea ka na ano ilalagay mo sa essay.

    Ang key talaga sa writing is dapat marami ka ideas. If nahihirapan ka mag construct ng idea try to research as much as possible. Google mo yung mga common or recent topics on pte writing tapos may mga sample questions dun,, then research mo ano possible answers para sa actual exam may idea kana ano isasagot. Tapos dpat familiarize mo mga connectors (like moreover, therefore, for instance, etc) kasi mas mataas ang grade kapag medyo complex ang sentence na ginagamit mo kesa simple sentences lang.

    For summarize written text strategy ko is to first get ano main topic. Then analyze what important points were given, may nangyari ba? If meron ano ang nangyari, kelan nangyari? ano at para kanino ang purpose? Usually kasi sa mga paragraphs naka detail lang pero yung point lang naman dun is parang dinedescribe lang yung main topic. If you can answer who/what, when, how and why about the topic pwede mo na pagdugtungin yung ideas mo thru connectors and form a sentence. If you will have multiple paragraphs, summarize mo muna per paragraph then summarize mo ulit lahat in one sentence

    Another tip also in writing as much as possible do not repeat the same words. If you dont have much stored knowledge about synonyms okay lang. Practice and Research is the key. Kaya malaki ang help sa akin yung pag research sa mga common or recent topics kasi while practicing pwede akong mghanap ng synonyms then mas madali ko syang ma recall sa actual exam kasi nagawa ko na sya before. Tapos if meron kayong word na ma encounter na parang hirap kayo mag elaborate, google nyo din anong synonym or phrases na pwedeng same meaning ng word. Share ko yung nilista kong mga synonyms na possible na magagamit sa mga essay kasi minsan these are the topics commonly asked.

    @Noodles12 ask lang po, how is the front end developer demand jan sa Sydney? Nakita ko kasi sa mga job sites na marami postings. :)

    When I was on the job hunt ang karamihan na hinahanap nila is ReactJs and Angular.

    Angular + c# ang background ko pero ngaun more on backend development lang ako.

    hey guys, ngayon lang ako ulit nakavisit dito sa forums, pero I read the recent posts and felt like sharing our BM experience.

    dumating kami ng wife ko sa Sydney nung July to treat ourselves and met with some of my relatives for the first time.

    lumipad kami to Melbourne 3 days later at dumirecho kami sa nabook namin na Airbnb. swerte kami kasi Filipino ung host and they gave us a warm welcome. nakatulong rin sa pagadjust kahit papaano kasi wala kami kilala sa Melbourne at all.

    nagstart na ko agad to scout for jobs and narealize ko na sobrang tumal. i have a niche skill as an SAP Developer at sobrang steep ng requirements nila dito. I met with a recruiter at the end of August pero palagay ko pinagpraktisan lang ako nun kasi bigla nalang nangghost.

    lumipat naman kami sa CBD and nagtry ako magapply sa ibang roles buong September pero wala rin napala.

    sobrang naddown na ko kasi mukhang useless pala ung 7 years of experience ko. every month ako nagrerevise ng resume and cover letter pero siempre hanggang dun lang naman magagawa nun, in the end, kailangan parin ng right skillset - un ung wala ako.

    andali itype nung experience pero hours upon hours upon hours ang naubos ko kakaresearch. feeling ko nagkaron na ko ng anxiety and slight depression. kaya tumigil muna ako recently sa paghahanap, nakatulong naman kasi napahinga ung isip ko. nakatulong rin ung pagresearch kahit nakakadrain kasi nagkaron na ko ng sense of direction kung pano ako maguupskill, kaso kailangan parin talaga muna makahanap ng temporary work para makasurvive.

    sobrang salungat naman ung story ng wife ko, mejo smooth sailing yung sa side nya kasi nagcampus tour siya sa dalawang schools and nakapagenroll siya sa gusto nya na school. regularly siya pumapasok ngayon at kung magaapply siya ng work, feeling ko mabilis siya makakakuha since uso hospitality work dito.

    marami pa ko stories in between pero baka masyado humaba. mas interesting pa naman mga yon pero next time naman ulit.

    Thanks for sharing this, always remember that every no is a step to your YES! I would suggest na attend interviews para alam mo kung san mag-iimprove next time.

    ...and if you're feeling down and blue, pasyal pasyal sa may St. Kilda, Elwood area. Ang ganda maglakad lakad sa may beach side ngayon!

    Hi Guys,

    Just want to ask sa 489 visa ba are we eligible for school subsidies for kids(9 & 4 yrs old).

    Thanks.

    Hi! It depends on your State. We are in SA and 489 visa holders are treated as locals when enrolling in govt schools so miscellaneous charge lang ang babayaran.

    cool... salamat sa reply.

    another question.

    is there any restriction in renting house/apartment? let say we are a family of 4 and we are planning on renting 1 room house/apartment only? or do we need to get 2 room?

    Thanks.

    is there any restriction in renting house/apartment?

    Most 1 BR apartment will require 2 tenants. Up to 3 usually if one will be a child.

    @tofurad kamust naman po ngayon kayo? naka kuha na kayo ng work? If I'm not mistaken in demand dito ang Salesforce since mukang nasa ERP side kayo. Try niyo mag switch ng technology baka kahit Junior/Entry level makakuha na work then work your way up nalang.

    okay pa naman, kaya pa. hehe. naghahanap parin ng work eh, pero may interview ako this Friday. ngayon lang ulit in the last 2 months. praying sana ito na yun.

    mukhang ganun na nga. kailangan magstart ulit, which is okay lang naman sakin. masyado rin kasi confined ung background ko. thanks sa suggestion!

    I feel you. Puro interviews at technical exams dito. May mga pinapasa, merong wala. Minsan aabot sa interview pero minsan brutal maginterview yung mga anaps. In time magkakaron rin alam ko pero challenge sakin yung wala mag ina ko. Kapit lang. I know this is the right decision pero kelangan ng time.

    suggestion ko, take a break rin minsan. rethink your strategy kung san ba nagkukulang. mukhang marami at umaabot ka sa interviews, meaning you have the background na hinahanap nila.

    kahit ilan pa pasahan natin, it only takes 1. dadating rin yun!

    Looking forward to your stories @tofurad. SAP Developers din kami. Praying na makahanap ka ng best job for you, ang mahalaga andyan na kayo ng wife mo. :)

    thank you!!!

    ah talaga??? SAP Developers parin kayo ngayon?
    hindi ako nagfocus masyado sa business process puro technical, kaya hirap ako magdiversify.

    pero okay lang, may naisip naman na ko na direction sa career ko, kailangan ko nalang talaga masimulan.
