    @raiden14 - wala ako idea sa job prospecting sa SA. Pero diba SysAd ang occupation mo? Hindi ka pa rin makaka apply sa ngayon nang SA SS dahil nasa "special conditions Apply" pa ang occupation sa ngayon. Unless nag graduate ka sa SA pwede kang mag apply nang SS.

    Ako din nag aantay sa July 2013 kung e open na ulit nila yung occupation ko.

    helllo @Isyut. i saw in your timeline that you applied for NT state sponsorship. can you guide me on the process? i applied for Victoria state nomination unfortunately they rejected it. I was hoping you can guide me so I can apply for the same since your nominated occupation is also in the list that has reached the cap. hoping for your input. thanks!

    Not that much opportunities for IT in SA. I'm an Analyst/Programmer, moved to SA coz of my Aussie husband who is based in SA, but we are moving to Brisbane next month coz that's where I found my job. My husband is also in IT (Citrix) and dying to get out of SA for better job opportunities/exposure.

    I think it all depends on your luck and timing :) Yes, mas konti ang job advertisements dito sa SA compared to the bigger cities.. but that doesn't mean you won't be able to find work.. Marami naman akong kakilala na nakahanap ng IT work dito after 2-3 months. Yung iba maswerte tlg, weeks lang.. meron na. Just keep on applying. If you're a programmer, pero kaya mo maging BA or tester -- there's no harm in trying to apply for these roles. Ensure lang na updated ang resume before submitting it.. Good luck to all SA bound IT migrants ;)

    yep,,,true yang sinabi ni @emjdee..yang tropa nila bilis nakakuha ng work. Most of them are IT..hehe
    We really can't generalize na walang IT jobs dito. There are some lucky people na bilis nakakakuha ng job. For me, like @paulie, and some people na nakilala ko. i've been dying to get an IT job here for ilang months na din. It all boils down to one word eh: LUCK :)
