    I just gave them a couple of names of my friends who happened to be my previous bosses as well... So ayun!!

    Ang background check as per my experience is being done by a separate agency; what I did lang was to provide my details including previous companies and addresses.

    They do police and bankruptcy check as part of the process.

    @psychoboy thanks! That's so nice to know. Medyo may trauma na din kasi ako sa medicals kasi almost 3 months na-refer ang medical ko sa MOC bago na-finalised. I am presently working in a bank dito sa Manila, kaya medyo curious po ako sa nakuha nyong job sa banking/ finance sector. Could you share po kung anong particulars nung job nyo? IT po kayo sa SG dati? Tama po ba?

    I am so happy today that I received 3 calls from recruiters while I am still in Europe.
    Tomorrow I have a skype interview.

    I am not setting expectations from them but at least it is a positive sign that they consider my CV even offshore. I hope this situation will be better when I will be in Sydney in August. Still, fingers-crossed
