    Hi sa mga na hire offshore, may relocation package ba kayo or wala? Hehe 😁 kasi PR na so i am not sure kung may relocation package parin… thanks sa sasagot 😊😊

    Most probably wala yan haha. Based lang rin sa recent applications ko (tumumal recently, wala na pumapansin sakin hahahaha), wala silang relocation package kasi nageexpect talaga sila since PR ka na, you have all the means and work rights. Pero pwede ka naman mag negotiate kung meron sila pa-hotel for a week or so, open up mo lang na since new migrant ka maghahanap ka pa lang ng bahay pagdating mo. I suggest just be transparent and be open to that.

    Mga employer sponsored lang yung usually merong relocation package.

    Thanks. Yun din inisip ko since PR na tau so feeling ko wala haha..

    Ma-share ko lang baka off-topic na, pero may inapplyan ako sobrang gustong gusto ko yung company. Parang every year ata nagaapply ako sa kanila for 3yrs now, pero wala. Olats. Di talaga ko pinapansin kahit sobrang swak na swak yung position sa experience ko.

    Makes me think, automatic pag offshore, ayaw na nila agad sakin kahit PR na ko. Sad lang hahahahaha.

    hi guys.. sino naka try ng certsy work rights verification? :)

    Sa Seek ba ito? I did, naverify naman niya yun work rights. I am just not sure how to fully maximize :blush:

    For 491 grants who are applying offshore, pano niyo nireflect yun visa status sa CVs and cover letter? Will Visa Status: Temporary Visa (491) will do? Or is there a better way?

    Any advise or tips for job hunting specially offshore will be appreciated! :smiley:

    The simpler the better, just say you have working rights - this is true, you are not lying.
    Most employers or recruiters have no idea of different visa status/types.
    This is for CV.

    Now sa application form or interview, they may ask the specifics, dun mo na lang indicate.

    Structural Engineer sya pero sa Bridges/Infra sya. Mas in demand kasi ang bridges at infra sa Australia. Same occupation kami pero sa Buildings ako. kaya medyo kabado ako magmove kasi puro rejections naman apply ko and hindi as in demand yung buildings and structures.

    Panalo yung may relocation package na nga, may signing bonus pa. Daig pa nanalo sa game show hahahaha!

    Congrats kamo! Nawa'y lahat. :D

    In all seriousness though, mas marami kasi talaga yung hindi namamansin sa mga offshore kahit may visa na. And despite that, somehow, hindi naman ako nangangamba na hindi makahanap ng work once we moved onshore. Kasi nakikita ko naman na meron at merong job posting.

    Kayang kaya yan. Nakaka frustrate lang talaga minsan ang pagaapply na wala ka rin naman nakukuhang kahit anong form of feedback. Lol.

    Hi sa mga na hire offshore, may relocation package ba kayo or wala? Hehe 😁 kasi PR na so i am not sure kung may relocation package parin… thanks sa sasagot 😊😊

    Most probably wala yan haha. Based lang rin sa recent applications ko (tumumal recently, wala na pumapansin sakin hahahaha), wala silang relocation package kasi nageexpect talaga sila since PR ka na, you have all the means and work rights. Pero pwede ka naman mag negotiate kung meron sila pa-hotel for a week or so, open up mo lang na since new migrant ka maghahanap ka pa lang ng bahay pagdating mo. I suggest just be transparent and be open to that.

    Mga employer sponsored lang yung usually merong relocation package.

    Thanks. Yun din inisip ko since PR na tau so feeling ko wala haha..

    Ma-share ko lang baka off-topic na, pero may inapplyan ako sobrang gustong gusto ko yung company. Parang every year ata nagaapply ako sa kanila for 3yrs now, pero wala. Olats. Di talaga ko pinapansin kahit sobrang swak na swak yung position sa experience ko.

    Makes me think, automatic pag offshore, ayaw na nila agad sakin kahit PR na ko. Sad lang hahahahaha.

    Haha may ganyan din akong company kaya relate. Baka pag may AU address ka na, pansinin ka na. Wag kang sumuko. hehe

    Yeah di ko naman sila sinusukuan. Baka next year mag apply ulit ako hahahaha! Yearly tradition ko na yan. :D

    haha kelan ka magmove ba? nagtry din ako magapply apply before pero puro rejection talaga. though may friend ako na nasa Dubai din na na hire from here. PR din sya. and may relocation package naman sya plus signing bonus! hehe

    Would you mind sharing ano industry nya/ng napasukan nya? :)

    Structural Engineer sya pero sa Bridges/Infra sya. Mas in demand kasi ang bridges at infra sa Australia. Same occupation kami pero sa Buildings ako. kaya medyo kabado ako magmove kasi puro rejections naman apply ko and hindi as in demand yung buildings and structures.

    Panalo yung may relocation package na nga, may signing bonus pa. Daig pa nanalo sa game show hahahaha!

    Congrats kamo! Nawa'y lahat. :D

    In all seriousness though, mas marami kasi talaga yung hindi namamansin sa mga offshore kahit may visa na. And despite that, somehow, hindi naman ako nangangamba na hindi makahanap ng work once we moved onshore. Kasi nakikita ko naman na meron at merong job posting.

    Kayang kaya yan. Nakaka frustrate lang talaga minsan ang pagaapply na wala ka rin naman nakukuhang kahit anong form of feedback. Lol.

    Ang consolation ko na lang is at least mag nag rereply na mga companies na kino consider nila ako kaso pag malaman nila na offshore pa hindi na ulit mag reply back haha..

    hi guys.. sino naka try ng certsy work rights verification? :)

    Sa Seek ba ito? I did, naverify naman niya yun work rights. I am just not sure how to fully maximize :blush:

    For 491 grants who are applying offshore, pano niyo nireflect yun visa status sa CVs and cover letter? Will Visa Status: Temporary Visa (491) will do? Or is there a better way?

    Any advise or tips for job hunting specially offshore will be appreciated! :smiley:

    Sabihin mo lang may full working rights ka. Mga employer dito 2 lang alam, PR/Citizen and not citizen so pasimplehin mo buhay nila by telling them what they need. Magkakaroon ka rin ng bias dyan pag nalaman nila na 491 ka and not yet PR so don't give yourself a disadvantage sa ibang applicants.

    Hello,

    Yung sa medicare enrollment, via email lang po ba yun? Nagsubmit kase kami ng enrollment form using [email protected] last June 6 pero until now wala pa rin update.

    Ano tips po kung pano makakuha agad ng medicare?

    Thank you.

    Hello! On the same boat! I submitted it 2 weeks ahead of you though (May 22). Tumawag ako kahapon (29/07) sa medicare to follow up. Sabi nila nasa May 17-18 na yung pina-process nila. May backlogs nga daw sila. They gave me at least a month daw to expect yung arrival ng medicare card. You may use that as a reference din sguro.

    Make na you have attached the docs needed rin.

    Let's wait na lang. :)

    Thank you Anne! Mukhang madami nga sila backlog. Malapit na maprocess yung sayo. Please let us know pag nareceive mo na yung card mo para matantya ko kung kelan dating ng sa amin haha

    Thanks ulit!

Nag enroll ako June10, then itinawag ko by July21, yung operator na nakausap ko sabi naka queue pa yung application ko, pero inenroll nya ko during call, medyo matagal nga lang inabot lagpas 1 hr, tyaga tyaga lang. Binigyan ako digital card/Medicare number. Kanina pagcheck ko mailbox andito na un physical card.

    Thank you po.

    Yes, required ang CFOβ€”need mo makuha yung certificate/sticker. This general guide might help with some info (specific nga lang sya for 190 NSW) though hope someone who recently made the big move can share rin for added insights: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18jQIdQkr1Rsq_qRxmexUqQwGdJ53Sax8iFKUfbi6fBE/edit?usp=sharing :)

    Hello guys! Congratulations sa mga ngrant recently! :smiley:

    We just received our Visa 190 and mag BM kami next year March 2024.

    Nasa Singapore kami currently ng partner ko for work. Uwi ng pinas by the end of this year and from there punta na kami ng Melbourne for first entry.

    May I ask guys other than the Grant letter and Passport, do we need to have PDOS/CFO?

    Thank you ng madami sa magaanswer! :blush:

    Nasa Singapore kami currently ng partner ko for work. Uwi ng pinas by the end of this year and from there punta na kami ng Melbourne for first entry.

    May I ask guys other than the Grant letter and Passport, do we need to have PDOS/CFO?

    Thank you ng madami sa magaanswer! :blush:

    Congrats!! When did you lodge and what’s your occupation?

    Also, yes you need CFO. See my comment above. :)

    Thank you Anne! Mukhang madami nga sila backlog. Malapit na maprocess yung sayo. Please let us know pag nareceive mo na yung card mo para matantya ko kung kelan dating ng sa amin haha

    Thanks ulit!

    @C0pper @annedetermined call nyo po for follow up si Medicare. Nag enroll ako June10, then itinawag ko by July21, yung operator na nakausap ko sabi naka queue pa yung application ko, pero inenroll nya ko during call, medyo matagal nga lang inabot lagpas 1 hr, tyaga tyaga lang. Binigyan ako digital card/Medicare number. Kanina pagcheck ko mailbox andito na un physical card.

    Thank you @sabina12. Thanks sa tip, try ko din sila tawagan pagdating ng AU. Nasa SG kase kami ulit now.

    Tyagain ko rin tawagan haha

    Hello,

    Question po ulit. Sa mga mag big move from PH to AU under visa 189/190, required po ba kumuha ng CFO? Ano pa po hinihingi ni PH immigration aside sa passport at visa grant letter?

    Thank you po.

    Yes, required ang CFOβ€”need mo makuha yung certificate/sticker. This general guide might help with some info (specific nga lang sya for 190 NSW) though hope someone who recently made the big move can share rin for added insights: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18jQIdQkr1Rsq_qRxmexUqQwGdJ53Sax8iFKUfbi6fBE/edit?usp=sharing :)

    Thank you @era222 try ko na din kumuha ng sched just in case. Uuwi kase muna kami ng pinas before mag BM so baka maharang kami ni Pinas immig. Thank you ulit.

    For those na nag-BM po na pregnant or with child, can you share your experiences like nakapagwork pa rin po ba kayo kahit pregnant (full time or part time), paano po yung medicare coverage, sobrang hirap din po ba pag 1 lang po nagwowork for the family?

    TIA your insights. :smile:

    Hi po! June 3 po ako nag enroll pero hanggang ngayon wala pa din. Triny ko tumawag walang makasagot na operator, naka waiting ako halos 30 mins na. Saang number ka po tumawag? Ito po tinawagan ko 132 011

    Yan din po ba tinawagan nyo?

    Uyyyyy. Sobrang helpful neto! Tinawagan ko agad Medicare pagkabasa ko. And true enough, binigay na sa kin Medicare No. ko and ni-link na rin ako sa MyGov para ma-access yung digital card.

    Mas okay talaga silang tawagan outside office hours. Kesa nung nakaraan na matagal yung queue. Since 24/7 naman customer service nila, tawag kayo ng mga alanganing oras. Hehe.

    Sabi sa kin, 3 weeks daw lead time before ma-send physical card. Pero baka mareceive rin earlier than expected.

    Salamat sa tips! Laking tulong. :smile: :smile:

    Ako lang ba o based na on your location (IP address) yung job search result ng LinkedIn? I noticed this in the past 2 wks. Thought it was just a system glitch. Pero wala na yung mga dati kong nakikita na search results for Australia kahit explicitly ilagay na AU location sa search. Lahat Singapore postings na lang. :#

    I even tried using VPN. Nothing. Is LinkedIn broken, or something?

    DIY all the way. Avoid preachy, know-it-all, and unscrupulous agents AT ALL COSTS!
