Kasi before when i lived in nz.. Ganyan ginagawa ng ibang. Nurses coz it sometimes takes 3 months or more to find a job and the visas nurses get to take the bridging program is limited lng.
Is this not an option specially for those p.r. Visas na?

Another thing, andaming trabaho sa SEEK, pero andami ring nagpapasa thru SEEK. So hanap-hanap din ng ibang avenues pag may time. I tried walking in kahapon sa isang Telstra Business Centre across the street sa amin, turns out may call centre sa taas ng building and they were hiring. Ayun, instant application pagka-abot ko ng resume habang binobola ko pa yung staff nila.
Hang in there, mate. Halos sabay din tayo dumating and same nature of work. Melbourne nga lang ako. Darating din yan. Just explore every possibility and opportunity.

Pero laking tulong tlaga ang referral. I have a co-worker na Iranian nman kaka start lang nya sa company nmin last December and almost 1 1/2 years na cla dtong mag-asawa sa Au. Ung husband is nag aaral ng PhD sa swinburne uni then while on student visa nag apply cla ng PR. Sabi nya more than 1 year dn syang nag aaply ng work pero laging rejection kc wala daw syang local experience. Fortunately nagkaron ng opening sa company nmin, then it happened na ung friend nya na kagrupo ko ay ni refer sya sa General manager nmin, ayun na hired sya.
Kaya tyaga tyaga lang at kung may mag rerefer sa yo na friends e mas ok.

May nakilala ako dito, Griyego na dito tumira. Ang tanong niya, bakit daw ang mga Filipinos overqualified? He he he. Siguro marami na rin siyang nakilalang pinoy na nagtra-trabaho. Mukhang maganda ang impression niya sa mga Pinoy. Sana makasalamuha pa tayo ng ganitong mga tao.
