Pwede po magtanong? Magbabago ba ung date dun sa EOI submitted if magkaroon ng changes dun sa sinubmit mo nung una?

For example Dati wala kang Naati, ngaun meron na. then for update na ung EOI mo.

Date of initial submission will not change , yung pangalawang row will change - date last submitted will change for any reason na you updated the file.

I see. May bearing po ba un? kumbaga sa pila. babalik ka ulit sa likod? Pasensya na dami po tanong

Sa 189 sya merong bearing.. Parang ganon na nga, babalik ka sa likod nung points bracket mo. So, kung 90 ka, edi nasa dulo ka ulit nga mga taong nasa 90pts until may ibang EOIs na mag update after mo.

Sa 190 at 491 naman, wala yan. Kasi specific to the states ang criteria for judging, lol.

hahaha ganun pala un.

parang ms universe. my criteria for judging. hahaha

Pero technically. mas maganda kung maguupdate ka kung may iuupdate ka tlga para di kana bumalik sa pila. kasi kung meron naman tlga ung bracket mo is tataas (85-90 for example) atleast back to zero ka from 90 hindi na 85.

Copy po sa mga sumagot. nalinawan na ako. salamat po

Tama ka dyan. Walang masama sa pagbabago ng DoE, lalo't tataas naman ang points mo. Ibang usapan pag bumaba.

hahaha. tama. most likely age ung pedeng magpababa ng points lalo kung d ka pa naiinvite tas malapit na magbago ung age bracket mo.

Thank you sir sa clarifications. Isa kang tunay! Cheeers!

hello hello co-waiting for grants...

ano ang mga pinaka una nyong gagawin once you received the grant? since we have ample time, may mga inaayos na ba kayo ngayon pa lang? like properties, investments, etc? or ready for BM na agad? may mga naka impake na ba? hahahha

@era222 im still relying on your BM guide. thank you ulit!!! wag mo dedelete please! mayayanig mundo ko 😫

Others nagbebenta na ng mga gamit at properties while waiting sa grant.

Is this advisable? Matagal pa ako siguro kasi Feb 2024 lodgement ko, but I’m excited to do this lol.

Ako nakarely lang din sa BM guide ni Ms. Era sa watsapp group, hehe. pero gumawa din ako ng sariling checklist.. Karamihan sa checklist hindi uusad ng walang grant letter. Ang hirap din magipon, dahil sa inip magantay ng grant , need din libangin ang sarili like gumala pampabilis ng oras. hahaha

Totoo yang mga points ninyo , all we can do is prepare ,there is ample time.
@era222 BM tips gives a lot of help as it is personalised -for someone who is solely doing BM the first time. I like her take .

Do check out also the booklet - "Beginning A Life in Australia " is a general approach but with many helpful tips , 120 pages and i have not finished it myself. Madaming external links and dami din dapat i-read through. (First Chapters 1-2 are all the things you need to accomplish once you moved in ,first 4 weeks afaik may checklist din sya)

Another good resource is MyAus App you can download

Tips? Laban lang. Pinaka simple na mabibigay ko.

Pero seryoso, send lang nang send ng CV sa lahat ng prospects nyo. Try adding recruiters and employees of the companies that you like in LinkedIn. Pakilala kayo, show your credentials. Message them. Merong limit though ang InMail sa LinkedIn pag hindi ka Premium. So, kung may extra kayo, avail it, that could go a long way para mapansin ang profiles nyo. I cancelled mine after landing a job.

Tailor your CVs to the simplest and most concise form --- highlight your achievements and hard skills (kung sa ICT, edi yung mga alam nyong tech stack. Kung eng'g naman, edi yung projects nyo), write your past job roles with clarity matching the job that you are eyeing for, and do not add a photo of yourself (please). Indicate nyo na rin yung visa nyo especially yung words na "Permanent Resident" (well applicable to PRs lang of course) para klaro at alam na agad na eligible kayo to work.

Pagdating naman sa interviews, just be yourself. You do you. Be confident, lalo't sarili mo naman credentials ang dala dala mo, but not to the point of overselling it. Medyo hindi rin maganda yun e. Dyan na papasok yung soft skills --- yan yung attitude, communication skills, how you carry yourself, vital statistics (chareng lang hahaha, but you get it), yada yada.

Maraming hindi papansin sa inyo, panigurado. Lalo't offshore pa nga. Minsan feeling ko allergic sila dyan, lalo pa dun sa mga walang visa. Pero babalik lang dun sa una kong tip, laban lang. Darating rin yan.

Lastly, may the odds be with you. Di ako madasalin, pero para sa mga oo, I'd advise you to pray for it, manifest it. Claim it.

Thanks so much dito! Add ko lang din to for the thread, Nabasa ko din sa gc ng watsapp, na much better din daw magapply muna sa mga recruitment agency sa AU, sila na bahala maghanap ng work for you. parang pinas din if nagsisimula ka palang malaking tulong ang agency.

Yes, that's true as well. Uso dito ang contracting especially in ICT. Di ko lang sure sa ibang industry/disciplines.

Like me now, I am a contractor in my current job. A consulting firm helped me land this job, pay for my super and taxes. They assigned me to another company to fill a role. Technically though, I'm not an employee of the consulting firm nor the assignment (company) given to me.

Pero merong cases na employee sila nung mismong consulting company or yung contracting company nila na tinatawag who give them assignments. So, they are entitled to leaves, and other benefits. But in my case, I'm not for both. I'm more on the individual contractor category. No work, no pay, ganon.

Ayun, share ko lang.

question - pag contractor ba may probationary period or regularization ganun? same ba sya sa pinas na may time frame pag contractual? ex: 1 year lang contract mo then hanap ulit work

ngayon ko lang nalaman yung about sa recruitment agency 🤔

Usually walang probation ang mga contractors. Kung ano na yung nasa contract mo na period, yun na yun. Pero meron ako kilala na kahit 1yr yung contract nya, tinerminate sya agad agad, pinalitan sya ng new resource. Ang chismis e hindi sya nagustuhan nung direct manager nya. 3mos lang yung tinagal nya.

So, need mo pa rin talaga pakitang gilas haha kahit walang official probation period.

Iba ang recruitment firm sa mga consultancy firms ha.

Pero yes, alam ko HAYS is a recruitment firm/agency, not sure kung meron rin silang consultancy arm. They get job openings from companies, and after placing a candidate, they get a commission fee and your relationship with them ends as well. You become part of the company they recruited you for.

Consultancy firms on the other hand, give you assignments based on your skills. You are part of that firm, and assignments given to you are just temporary placements. They can assign or rotate you somewhere else.

Uso nga rin ang rolling contracts, or fixed-term contracts sa ICT, lalo na for project-based hires or backfills. Pero usually pansin ko this yields higher pay than what they call a “permanent” role. Parang yung isang inapplyan ko (at ‘di nakuha) ay 800-850 AUD per day. Haha!

Kung eng'g naman, edi yung projects nyo), write your past job roles with clarity matching the job that you are eyeing for, and do not add a photo of yourself (please). Indicate nyo na rin yung visa nyo especially yung words na "Permanent Resident" (well applicable to PRs lang of course) para klaro at alam na agad na eligible kayo to work.

Pagdating naman sa interviews, just be yourself. You do you. Be confident, lalo't sarili mo naman credentials ang dala dala mo, but not to the point of overselling it. Medyo hindi rin maganda yun e. Dyan na papasok yung soft skills --- yan yung attitude, communication skills, how you carry yourself, vital statistics (chareng lang hahaha, but you get it), yada yada.

Maraming hindi papansin sa inyo, panigurado. Lalo't offshore pa nga. Minsan feeling ko allergic sila dyan, lalo pa dun sa mga walang visa. Pero babalik lang dun sa una kong tip, laban lang. Darating rin yan.

Lastly, may the odds be with you. Di ako madasalin, pero para sa mga oo, I'd advise you to pray for it, manifest it. Claim it.

Thanks so much dito! Add ko lang din to for the thread, Nabasa ko din sa gc ng watsapp, na much better din daw magapply muna sa mga recruitment agency sa AU, sila na bahala maghanap ng work for you. parang pinas din if nagsisimula ka palang malaking tulong ang agency.

Yes, that's true as well. Uso dito ang contracting especially in ICT. Di ko lang sure sa ibang industry/disciplines.

Like me now, I am a contractor in my current job. A consulting firm helped me land this job, pay for my super and taxes. They assigned me to another company to fill a role. Technically though, I'm not an employee of the consulting firm nor the assignment (company) given to me.

Pero merong cases na employee sila nung mismong consulting company or yung contracting company nila na tinatawag who give them assignments. So, they are entitled to leaves, and other benefits. But in my case, I'm not for both. I'm more on the individual contractor category. No work, no pay, ganon.

Ayun, share ko lang.

Uso nga rin ang rolling contracts, or fixed-term contracts sa ICT, lalo na for project-based hires or backfills. Pero usually pansin ko this yields higher pay than what they call a “permanent” role. Parang yung isang inapplyan ko (at ‘di nakuha) ay 800-850 AUD per day. Haha!

Yup, since usually kasi ang mga contractors ay walang entitlements like leaves, and other benefits, they have higher rates talaga to compensate. Saka for limited time lang rin kasi ang stint nila. 6mos to 1yr yung usual, pero meron nga na rolling contracts na ineextend na lang per need basis.

Palong palo na yung 800-850/day. Buhay na buhay kung single, even for couples. Medyo tight naman yan siguro kung may anak tas isa lang magwowork hehe.

Guys question ulit. ung sa work experience sa EOI. just want to ask kung dapat bang exact date start and end date? d ko kasi maalala anong araw exact pero sure naman sa month. pede ba dun for ex ang ilagay start as 1st day of the month and 30th sa end. Pero tama naman ung month.

Your start and end dates were not exactly stated in your employment reference letter? I think it's fine to indicate 1st and/or 30th, nabasa ko yan somewhere sa ACS website before that in cases one couldn't provide exact dates, they will automatically assume the 30th something like that. Merong ganyang notes dati eh.

Anong assessing body mo pala? And what dates ginamit mo during asessment? It should be in sync with whatever you'll put in your eoi.

CPA Australia assessing body ko. actually parang nabasa ko un dito na parang pwede daw or hindi required for CPA Australia na magpaskilled employent agad. kaya parang skill assessment palang ung ginawa ko. then my agent told me (i dunno if he based my experience kasi technically accounting nan tlga background ko) na ideclare ko ung max points for worked experience ( 10yrs working na ako, puro accounting department)

Sa EOI you will provide yung exact dates of each employment episodes na dedeclare , may EOI na ba nilaunch si agent ?
Just make sure both concurrently or side by side tama yung mga details for you to claim the experience points once you get invited. Under employment references and sa skilled employment assessments eventually needs to match sa details your agent will input in your EOIs. In short , details should be consistent.
If any changes not reflected once you get invited - your EOI naman can't be altered afaik.

Meron na actually dun nga ako hesitant. baka kasi questionin ung EOI ko kasi ung nilagay ng agent ko is ung first and last day of the month. (dian ako hesitant) pero tama ung month and year. ung day lang since wala tlga akong exact day

at tsaka kasi since ganun nga ung ginawa namin, SKL. naggraduate kasi ako April 2, 2013. after a week may work na ako agad. as in after graduation. isa din to sa iniisip ko na kung dineclare ko na Apr 1 first work ko, then april 2 ako grumaduate ok lang ba un? hahaha need ko lang ng clarification para maitama ko sana agad lalo wala pa akong details tlga bago pa magkaproblema

Ozdrims · April 13

You need to update the details to coincide after you graduated to qualify yung yung deemed skilled date - if this date is not mentioned in skills assessment then you have to reference the employment claim after you completed the tertiary qualification (after graduation date ) technically that will count as 1 day after your graduation.
Does the assessing body for Accountants reflect the dates of employment in the the outcome letter (states the start and end dates ?) if not - you can follow the date after graduation for you to claim experience points.
This is especially required by NSW - they ask for the skilled employment assessment during the nomination application process so just ensure you have this as well.

You can try to watch the video referencing this requirement (Traci Migration) either YT or FB

Some member here were assessed by CPAA din. They'll be more suitable to advise in your case.

Just be careful with the info you/your agent will indicate in the eoi. Yung case ng grad date mo and first date of work medyo off. Personally I would avoid any mismatching details that skill select/DHA may notice.

Tips? Laban lang. Pinaka simple na mabibigay ko.

Pero seryoso, send lang nang send ng CV sa lahat ng prospects nyo. Try adding recruiters and employees of the companies that you like in LinkedIn. Pakilala kayo, show your credentials. Message them. Merong limit though ang InMail sa LinkedIn pag hindi ka Premium. So, kung may extra kayo, avail it, that could go a long way para mapansin ang profiles nyo. I cancelled mine after landing a job.
