I am not really in a position to comment on the manufacturing industry in Sydney since I do not have concrete statistics to back up. What I can tell is that there are around 794 manufacturing companies in NSW where Sydney is a part of.
Like most developed countries, the manufacturing industry is not the lifeblood of Australia due to cost concerns. This is basically the reason why most companies chose to put up their manufacturing facilities in less developed countries where production cost is lower. However, with the number of manufacturing companies still existing in NSW, I would say there are still opportunities for those who are looking for work in this industry. Medyo tight lang nga siguro ang competition if I may say.

I am in operations.. Ok ang supply chain dito. For procurement/purchasing, I am not quite sure as I did not really check. I suggest you check seek.com.au and see whether the demand is high.

i totally agree with you... in order to move on, one must acknowledge the pain...
i've had the this experience while i was taking the IELTS exam... it was a humbling experience.. i've always considered my English communication skills as above average.. but when I took the exam, you will have your own difficulties.. my enemy then was time... sobra ako na-disheartened when I walked out of the exam room... I knew in my heart that I did not get the score that I need for writing... i have to get 7 for me to claim points... but I knew na bump lang to achieve my dreams... right after the exam... without second thoughts... i went to IDP to schedule my next exam immediately.. d na ako nag.wait pa... i acknowledged my weakness and planned my action... i know that self pity won't get me anywhere near my dreams...kahit masakit ang loob ko at bulsa..
i was like you... i wanted the change... i have a good job here and great pay... a promising one even... and my family and friends don't exactly get me why i need this... pero it's the adventure and being successful in a new country that drives me... sana we get to be successful in all our endeavors...

My essay is not that good, and i cant think better during the exam but i knew i will get atleast 7 because of the above structure.

mahirap pala talaga maghanap ng work, im in melbourne right now. 1.5 months na ako dito, and I have applied sa kahit ano, mcdonalds, coles, cleaner jobs, admin/office/receptionist, salesgirl.. talagang wala.. i even went to the city and dropped my resume sa kahit ano..
I even did door to door knocking/selling for several days but it was only commission basis so that in the end, mas malaki pa yung gasto ko sa pamasahe compared sa kinita ko...
im an engineer by the way..
patulong naman po, kahit anong jobs, willing po akong magclean ng toilet or ng kahit ano...
medyo nahihirapan na po talaga ako, medyo lang

odd jobs, medyo mahirap kasi kalaban mo rin ang ibang lahi and usually students.. they usually prefer to hire uni students...
but if you have friends here and a suitable network then I think medyo madali na...
but if wala, I have befriended other guys na months na din naghahanap ng work...
i don't know if medyo wala lang talaga akong suwerte, who knows kasi meron din namang iba who easily found jobs here...

My advice: kung magde-deviate man tayo sa career path natin, make sure it is still aligned with our qualifications, e.g. technical support for a misplaced IT manager, or draftsman for the aspiring architect.

Pero kahit may complaints from the ozzies at least si gina rhineheart still hiring pinoys after her father married their filipino maid who she accused of being a gold digger and killed her father by nagging him constantly about money then when he died..married his best friend and went to court for 14 years with gina reinheart ng dahil sa pera.
At least no hate bais against pinoys with what she went through with their pinoy maid aka evil stepmother. Hehehe.
May documentary yan.. Di ko na lang mahanap ang link:)
