Finding a Job in Australia & Getting an Employer Sponsored Visa: 10 Tips

sledgehammer · February 2012

@k_mavs SUBCLASS 475 ba? or 457 po?

k_mavs · February 2012

@sledgehammer 475 subclass po sir..

LokiJr · February 2012

@k_mavs, that's interesting...buong Perth ba ang considered as regional area o certain areas lang? I am considering Perth kasi aside from Sydney

k_mavs · February 2012

@LokiJr Kapag under RSMS program lang sir. Ito yung si employer ang mag sponsor sayo unlike a 457 and an ENS visa ito naman po may parang regional sponsored visa siya kaya lamg yung yung status nya is for PR. Unlike dun sa aaplyan ko na 475 Skilled Regional sponsored e di included yung Perth sa lugar na pwede akong magwork. I really don't know if possible tong visa na to from a 475 to RSMS visa when you are already in Oz. Eto po yung link ng RSMS visa tignan nyo rin po. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/skilled-workers/rsms/

LokiJr · February 2012

@k_mavs, thanks for shedding some light on the matter.
I haven't read much on that option but it looks like a good alternative to the usual visas we already know

I-post ko po rito yung link na nahanap ni heyits7me_mags

Grabe ang daming pagbabago talaga. Maswerte yung mga nag send ng application before July 1, 2012

LokiJr · March 2012

Oo nga e mahigpit na lahat hehe...mukhang may positive changes naman sila iimplement sa ENS...at least for those who found employers or job offers already

k_mavs · March 2012

Kung meron ka lang agad na mahahanap na employer na pwede mag sponsor sayo e mas ok diba. Kailan nga lang din siguro na magtayga sa pag apply sa seek or sa mga jobsites sa Oz.

guys need ur opinion.. im an it consultant, pr in sg.. tanong ko lang ang chances ko to get visa sponsorship.. i have contacted a few and was told that based on my credentials, qualified ako for 457 business visa. but need to secure a job offer before they can proceed..

ano po ba mas mabilis na paraan to secure a job offer? im an sap abap consultant but because i worked on the end user environment, maraming bagong tools ang di ako familiar..

thanks to all..

ricominero · March 2012

helpful din po kung meron kayong linkedin account. usually mga recruiter ang unang cocontact sa inyo. especially kung in demand ang work nyo sa Australia.

LokiJr · March 2012

@sgmumsy, in demand po trabaho niyo sa Australia kaya posible kayo makahanap ng mag ggrant sayo sa visa 457. Kailangan lang po makahanap muna kayo ng employer para sa ganung visa.

Check po kayo sa mga tulad ng seek.com.au tapos magpasa kayo ng resume baka may kumontak sa inyo

sgmumsy · March 2012

@LokiJr, yep nasuyod ko na nga ata lahat ng job portals for oz hehe.. but i guess the competition is tough for IT.. thanks and lets all hope for the best! in case me kilala kau, hope u guys can give us a list of companies who are willing to sponsor.. thanks much!

@rdimapilis, yep i got an acct in linkedin. in fact, dun ko nakausap ang Aurec, heandhunter dyan au who is willing to sponsor. but to date, nag iintay pa ako ng job offer..

sgmumsy · March 2012

btw guys, since dinidistribute na nga ng agency ung papers ko sa clients nila, do they conduct interviews before the job offer or right away padadalhan ka ng job offer just basing on ur credentials?

many thanks again..

ricominero · March 2012

@sgmumsy usually po, ganito po ung process.

- initial interview (phone interview)
- reference check
- final interview (pwede kayong papuntahin ng Oz)
- pre-employment medical
- job offer

sgmumsy · March 2012

@rdimapilis wow, sana nga maka abot ako sa job offer.. currently, mukhang nasa initial stage pa lang ako.. wala pang interview invitation etc..

thanks for the input

LokiJr · March 2012

@sgmumsy, ayaw mo sumubok ng 175 visa? Qualified na qualified ka naman e

Ang employer sponsored visa kasi pahirapan...at suwertehan din. Baka mas sulit sa oras mo na mag apply ng skilled visa habang naghihintay ng potential employer.

yep, thats the initial plan.. pero ang worry ko, i just started securing my documents at mejo pahirapan habulin ung mga former employers.. baka di ako umabot sa july 2012..but in case makuha ko agad, for sure ill go for 175.. wish us luck!

thanks

LokiJr · March 2012

@sgmumsy, naku huwag niyo katakutan ang Skill Select. For certain people with the right age, IELTS and work experience, mas pabor pa nga yun

LokiJr · March 2012

South Australia...Adelaide po tama? Try niyo po dun mag apply...I'm pretty sure you can find a job --nasa Australia na kayo e hehe.

Pansamantala, maghanap po muna kayo ng part time para may kinikita kayo

k_mavs · March 2012

Tama si sir @LokiJr hanap muna kayo ng part time job if ever para meron man lang kayo income dyan while applying for the job in line with your experience. why not try to contact sir @sohc alam ko dyan din sya sa South australia para me kakilala ka na jan.hehe.

try mo muna magkaroon ng driver licence para makagala ka gusto mo puntahan.

tanung ka sa www.philippines.com.au baka may kilala silang mga pinoy sa adelaide.

Sa Mall dami pinoy dun.

baka may philippine consul office dyan tanung ka lang din dyan kung may grupo na pinoy.

Attend ka sa mga christian churches every sunday Malamang may pinoy dun.

sa mga bus interchange malamang may pinoy nakaupo dun wait for the bus.

Mag search ka sa google type filipino adelaide o pinoy adelaide. Malamang may pinoy na bumibili sa asian store. Try mo baka may pinoy restaurant sa adelaide search mo na lang sa google.

goddluck and enjoy

..... apology for the wrong post

diwata · April 2012

@sgmumsy - i am also an ABAP programmer under 457 visa. pero naglodge na kami ng family ko ng 175 kasi di na namin mawait ung promise ng employer ko na after 2 years pa kami isponsor. gusto ko na din kasi maging pr para ma afford na namin ang childcare for my 3 yrs old daughter. mahal kasi pag hindi pr. anyway, try mo ung 3W consulting, eto ung company ko na nagsponsor ng 457 ko. sa totoo lang pangit syang company pero ok na din para makapasok lang ng au diba. pag may alam ako na hiring balitaan kita.

sgmumsy · April 2012

@diwata wow salamat po! actually nakapagpasa na din ako dyan. they ask me to send the skill matrix pero wala pa pong balita ulet. meron din isang company na nagreply sa akin na mejo limited daw ang options ko at the moment since marami daw ngayon nag offshore dyan sa au at maraming sap consultants na either locals or me working visa na.. how true po ba ito? and pashare din nung timeline nyo from applying to getting ur visa..

salamat ulet
