kung nandun ang current skills/occupation mo, at gusto mo talaga mag-aral, i think mas maganda kumuha ng mga related courses/degree na mag upgrade sa IT skills mo...
mahirap naman kasi na magshift ka ng career sa healthcare (nursing), dahil lang maraming work after.. pero hindi mo nmn talaga gusto..
in the end, anu ba ang objective mo?
kailangan mo ba ng degree para magka-PR? i guess not, kasi si mister eh pwede na magPR..
gusto mo ba ng mabilisang work?
or gusto mo mag bago ng career?
goodluck..

Ask ko lang mga mam/sir is it too late for me to study an IT-related course dyan sa Oz? I'm 26 y/o. I took a medical course in college here in Ph pero I didn't finish it (2 years lang). Nagtrabaho ako as a transcriptionist for almost 7 years. Plano ko sana mag-aral ng IT-related course kung matuloy dyan sa Oz and if kung swertehin ulit maghanap ng work in the IT industry dyan. I really wanna work in the IT industry. Do you think there are still job opportunities when I finish my course say in 2-3 years? Alam ko kada taon lalong dumadami competition dyan and also knowing pa yung ibang companies nag-start na mag-outsource sa India or Pinas.
Maraming salamat!

Nakakagutom naman username mo
To give u an idea, madami competition dito at madami nagaaral ng IT. Nagpunta ako dito 2011 at age of 31 at nagaral ng masters in IT. Nung pumunta ako dito akala ko konti lang nag masters pero ang dami pala. I went through very tough times kasi kasama ko wife and 2yr old kid at the time. Nagaaral ako sa umaga, trabaho ng cleaning sa gabi, pag uwi mag babantay ng anak. Good thing nagkawork si misis sa office pero kulang parin yung pera kasi mahal ang babysit dito tapos kelangan magipon para sa tuition of $8k per semester. Bumagsak ako ng 4 subjects dahil sa sobrang pressure sa buhay dito. After I graduated kung anu ano ang pinasukan kong work kasi wala ako local experience although I have 6 years of IT experience in systems support.
Anyway, moving on to the good part. After 6 months pag tapos ko mag graduate I was blessed with an IT job as Systems Engineer and now waiting for my PR result.
Dont think of this as a discouragement but rather an advice of how you can plan your success here. Magtiwala ka sa Diyos, samahan mo ng matinding lakas ng loob at mahabang pasensya, kakalooban ka ni Lord ng blessing dito.
Gusto ko sana ipadala sa maalaala mo kaya yung kwento ko pero naisip ko kay Mark Logan nalang hehehe
All d best and God bless!!!

I recently arrived in OZ because I got direct hired from NZ. I'm in my mid-30s already but still I managed to find and land a job. The competition will still be there but you need to have edge against your competitors when applying for a job. In IT you constantly upskill yourself because technology changes. In my case, I started as manual tester in a Finance institution in Phils then I go a job offer and direct hired in NZ as software tester in MYOB. While in MYOB, I upskill myself to learn automation using open source tools and license one (like Test Complete and Telerik). While in NZ I moved to different industry like HR, SaaS, Banking & payment, Insurance. So now I have different domain expertise that's why I got hired easily. And up to know head hunters are calling me about opening in such and such companies. Some of them I go to interviews but most of them I turned it down. Also, when you got a job in the future, just talk to your co-workers get along with them even napipilipit na yung dila mo kakasalita ng english or nag nose bleed ka na kasi wala kang maisagot pag nagtanong sila syo. Because in one way or another they can help you... maybe you can ask them as your referee when you find a new job or they might refer a good recruitment manager. If you received a criticism, look as a positive side and learnt from it. Think who you can improved yourself from that criticism you get. I can still remember the first one, the dev told me that when I wrote a bug its so obscure and I speak with a funny american accent. From then I learnt how to speak and write like local (kiwi or aussie). Don't be afraid to ask, if there's a word or slang that I don't understand.
All the best

Need your advice mga peeps.
Im currently working here in Dubai for 7 years as an IT Admin. Kahapon lang naitanong ko sa pinsan ko na andyan sa AU. IT din ang work nya. Sa Fujitsu daw. So sinabi nya nga sakin ang requirements na madali ko naman makukuha. Gusto ko i-try ang luck ko dyan. Marami na din ako pinagdaanan dito sa Dubai bago ako naging stable. Kasama ko ang wife ko dito and my 4 year old daughter and she's now studying here. My wife is 6 months pregnant now and I can't imagine yung magiging expenses namin. I need to do something for my family especially sa mga anak ko. Kaya I have decided na pumunta dyan. Sabi ng cousin ko marami daw IT opportunities dyan sa AU. I have read some forums at sinasabi nila na when it comes to your children future ok talaga sa AU.
Ngayon gusto ko sana malaman kung tama ba magiging desisyon ko. Di ba ako mahihirapan maghanap ng work dyan sa AU? Anyways may Microsoft certification din ako.
Advisable ba na sabay sabay kami pupunta dyan or kami muna ng wife ko then we will leave muna our children sa pinas.

If you got work before you come here in Aussie you can go together. Because atm, we are one income same family size and we are surviving hindi gipid may konting ipon. Kasi nakapagpundar na kami ng investment properties.
All the best and good luck with your application if you push through with it.

Based on your application experiences, what are the recruitment agencies that at least called you for a job interview? I can see that there a lot of recruitment agencies in Oz but would like to focus our time on agencies that really respond to migrants such ourselves.
Salamat po sa tulong!
