hey guys, its been a while. At last I'll finally live my dream in the place where Sydney Opera is located. I'm flying this March 18 with a job offer at hand.

To those who started their dream, and in the halfway through, don't give up. The only real failure is when you stop trying.

    ganito po yun. Sa lahat ng mga visa grantees, ngayon pa lang magforward na kayo ng applications sa mga agencies like Hays, Hudson, etc. Since talagang may shortage sa skilled workers, they accommodate applicants with valid visa even though they are still in their home countries. Sa case ko, i'd been interviewed many times over skype and i indicated my expected date of arrival.

    About resume, sinunod ko ang instruction ni katie049, like the use of british/australian spelling, i.e. centre, analyse, etc, the date should be dd/mm/yyyy format. Resume should be clear, concise and complete. Indicate your level of expertise. Yes, you may exaggerate but make sure you can justify it on the interview.

    Be yourself during the interview. Practice to speak and do some rehearsal before the interview. Be spontaneous and make sure you are well-versed with technical terms related to your job knowledge and skills.

    Sa lahat ng mga nagcongratulate, maraming salamat po, nakakataba ng puso. I hope to see you all in australia.

    Pano ka nila kino-contact? Email ba muna or tatawag na sila sa cellphone mo? Ikaw ba ang nagsusuggest na Skype or sila?

    Meron ka na bang pwedeng tirhan sa Sydney like relatives or friends? If wala pa, pano ka naghahanap? Sorry, dami kong questions ha. We're planning ahead na din kasi and glad to have someone like you here na pwede tanungan. :)

    @tootzkie, Thanks for the tips -most especially about the resume content! Matanong ko lang...gumamit ka ba ng accent pag kausap mo mga Aussies?
    Nahihiya kasi ako gumamit ng accent baka isipin nila trying hard hehe.

    Thanks! @tootzkie for sharing...that idea is very informative to us.
    Tip ko lang din sa mga newly grantees who are looking for a job in Oz provide yourself an Aussie sim card pabili na lang kayo sa friend nyo sa Oz para accessible kayo o madaling kontakin. This is an idea from my friend who are already in Oz.

    jclem and lokijr,

    They notified me about the skype interview through email. Then they scheduled it at my own convenient time. Prior to that, i rehearsed on how to answer smartly. I observed correct pronunciation and intonation. Accent doesnt necessarily to be british or australian, be a filipino coz our accent is accepted globally.

    Kapag may sense of humor ang interviewer sakyan nyo.

    "Uhmm, you look nice". The interviewer commented when i opened my cam.

    I said, "you look beautiful mam". Tumawa sya kasi hindi naman sya kagandahan.

    "You are the only person who told me that I'm beautiful". SAbi nya.

    "The word beautiful is subjective mam, every person has its own standpoint on beauty. Some people say you are beautiful and some say otherwise."

    Then tumawa na naman sya. Ayun nawala ana ng tension ko.

    About accommodation, sa backpacker lang muna ako kasi single naman ako, then kapag sumuweldo sa 5-star na..... JOWK lng hehehe. I prefer backpacker so i can socialize with different nationalities of different culture. Parang yan din ang sagot ko sa speaking test noong tinanong ako kung san ako nag-i-stay when i go out of country hahahaha.

    cinnamon thanks, pupuntahan ko yan.

    rclem, about sa paglalaba, may laundry station naman dun, ako mismo ang maglalaba sa washing machine. About food, pwede rin akong magluto kasi may kitchen sila.

    Lokijr, shared flat ang option ko talaga, i'll try to acclimatize myself first to the new environment kaya nagbackpacker ako for 7 days. Single kasi ako at walang kausap, so kung 6 kami sa isang room eh di may ka-jamming ako, makakasama ko sila sa pamamasyal. May pagka-extrovert kasi ako, i sometimes find my happiness to other people. Friendly din ako at walang masamang tinapay sakin hehehe. Actually ang favorite hang-out ko eh dun sa pinsan kong nakatira sa squatter, sobra kasing dami ng tao sa lugar nila, tapos ang bababaw ng mga tao, laging nakatawa. Then laging may rambol. Ang saya hahahaha.

    Ngayon ko na-realize, mahirap pala mag-migrate ng single, parang wala kang kahati ng feelings at emotions mo, walang magsasabi sayo ng... "kaya natin yan". Bigla tuloy akong nalungkot, hanap na nga ako ng mapapangasawa hahahahah.
