    @k_mavs, you're right nakaka-inspire nga sila. Albeit my kababata's discouragement, mas lalo akong naging curious about Oz. She used to be my bff until she married that Aussie who fondly calls her "asian monkey".

    Nasa atin ang pagsisikap kahit san man tayo mapadpad. Magagaling ang pinoy and very resilient. Nabuhay nga kami sa jungle ng Manila e kaya sa tingin ko, kakayanin rin namin magsurvive kahit saan.

    @tamarind I understand what your saying. Yung mga kapatid ko more than 15 years na dito sa Aussie but they are in Sydney. Sabi nila sakin magingat din sa ibang pinoy, nakakalungkot na may mga ganyang issue. Pero I am very happy na ang mga nameet ko dito na mga pinoy e sobrang mababait.

    Sa ibang field po medyo mahirap ang labanan, yung ibang field kasi kailangan magaral ulit ng kaunti. Yung wife ko medyo nahihirapan makahanap kaya balak namin habang ngwowork ako magaaral na lang muna sya. Meron kasi dito mga requirements like certifications, tafe or myob bago makapasok sa work. Gusto ko nga gumawa ng separate thread para sa issue na to baka kasi may nakaka alam dito na kung anu magandang kunin as a good investment para makapasok ng work.

    Just to share UK is in recession kaya nga lumilipat ang mga UK resident sa Aussie dahil sa issue na yun. Nalaman ko yan ng makakita ako ng job advertisement sa seek na "the recession is over" then ang location UK. But if were talking about care giver, I think hindi yun kasali sa scope ng recession.

    @tamarind26 Hi! I just want to share my experience with my colleague back in the Phils na nasa Aussie na rin with her family, parang pareho kasi tayo ng na-experience. Nung in-ask ko sya about life in Aussie, sabi nya maganda pa rin sa Pinas kasi nga daw mahal ang bilihin sa Australia so ang life nila e parang OFW, nag-iipon lang daw sila then babalik din sila ng Pinas. She's working in an office and yung husband nya engineer yata.

    Follow your heart but trust your gut.

    @gemini23, may truth naman siguro sa mga sinasabi nila pero di lahat ng migrants nakakaexperience ng ganun. Siguro di sila happy sa kinalalagyan nila kaya di nila naappreciate ang mga positive na nangyayari. Personally, I'd rather try all options to live a better life than stay here doing nothing.

    ^ May nakausap akong financial adviser tungkol diyan e... Problema raw sa mga OFW kasi ang hilig magconvert ng gastusin into pesos...mas malakas Aussie Dollar so natural magmumukhang mahal ang bilihin pero pag kinumpara mo yung earnings-to-expense ratio, mas malaki talaga makukuha mo abroad...add to that may automatic retirement fund sa Australia...walang wala tayo nun hehe.

    Ang isa pa yung paghawak ng pera...nung dumating si Suze Orman (financial adviser ni Oprah at Larry King) sa Manila..sabi niya mali raw na binubuhos ng OFW lahat ng kita nila pabalik sa Pinas...di raw matututo ang mga kapamilya ng OFW pag ganun na lang lagi....kaya madalas nangyayari, sobrang pagod ng migrant, pag uwi niya ng Pinas, walang pinagbago ang buhay :(

    Going back to the thread, sir @sohc ano po uli field of work ni misis? :)

    ^ i agree with you @LokiJr. if im not mistaken, required ng govt ang companies to give an equivalent of 9 percent ng salary as superannuation. eto ung mapupunta sayo upon retirement. in one of the aussie companies ive read about, 14percent ang inooffer nila. :-) mas marami pa rin tlg maiipon sa oz kahit na mas mura bilihin dito sa pinas. it all boils down to financial mgt din.
    although ako naman ang kinakatakot ko tlga ay yung pagmove ng resources from high cost to low cost countries especially in IT. very rampant din kase ang outsourcing and axing of jobs... and also, di ako sure if employees are protected against pay cuts. dito kase sa pinas bawal un unless may consent ng employee... hirap actually magdecide.. heheh

    @Loki she's a writer/editor satin. Most jobs here required "Own Vehicle and Drivers License". Essential to sobra, hindi pa naman marunong magdrive wife ko. Kaya balak namin uuwi sya dyan sa June ng more than 1 month para makakuha ng student license then after 25 days convert to non-pro. Mahirap pag dito pa kumuha ng license kasi dadaan pa sa learner then kailangan may kasama pa para makapag drive so useless.

    In my own opinion lang, people will definitely say na mas maganda satin if you cant get the job that you have back in our country because mostly thats whats happening here especially for other field. Yung wife ko gusto na nya try kahit anu na lang pero nagrerequire ng car at license karamihan. Sabi ko nga kahit hindi na magwork pero ayaw e.

    Dito madaming recruiter halos lahat ng job posting puro recruiter somehow nakakainis, but I am able to get a direct hire. Patience is a virtue.

    Naku! Yun ata isa kong kelangan gawin, ang mag-aral mag-drive. :( Noon pa ko pinapa-aral ni hubby mag-drive para daw di ako parating tulog sa byahe. Hehehe! :) Kelangan ba marunong talaga kahit walang travel requirements yung type ng job mo, meaning isang office lang naman yung pupuntahan mo?

    @JClem almost all jobs na nakita namin para sa wife ko requires "own vehicle and a car" kahit na casual work kailangan to kaya nahihirapan din sya. Kaya paguwi nya dyan this June baka less than 2 months sya magstay dyan satin to learn how to drive and to get a drivers license.

    @tamarind26 Mas mahal po ata yung driving courses dun. Wala naman siguro kasing problem kung left or right hand drive ka masanay. What's important is matutunan mo lang yung mga basic driving techniques. I think mas madali na mag practice dito satin kasi once marunog ka nang mag drive dito sa Pinas e kayang kaya mo nang mag drive kahit saan. :)

    Yung pinsan ng asawa kong na nasa Oz na din dito pa rin sya sa Pinas nag practice mag drive. Ayun ngayon ok naman at nakakuha na sya ng license sa Oz.

    Guys this is one of the best morning I ever had. I am about to sign a job offer this Thursday afternoon. However, another employer counter offer way higher.

    - tax free benefits
    - can go back to phil anytime I want for 5x a year for free (sobra to)
    - straight to permanent position, no more probationary or contract.

    Kinakabahan ako sa isang employer expected ako pumirma bukas. Dalawang company na tinu-turn down ko.

    Sobrang blessing. Sabi nga nila kapag tumulong ka ng walang kapalit, babalik din sayo yan mas malaki pa.

    Your story is inspiring and encouraging. Nadiscourage kase ako last night when I talked to someone I know... although it's not really a bad info, pero sabi nya kase mga 60-70K ang average salary daw. expected ko kase dapat nasa 80-100K AUD annual. heheh syempre kapal ng mukha ko naman.
    Pde mo bang idisclose anong technology ang hawak mo? Sorry kung nasabi mo na, di lang ako makabackread. Thanks! :-)
