How to get Security Clearance for employment?

nikkiniknik11 · December 2013

Hello,

Plan po namin mag migrate ng wife ko sa ACT since sa ngaun sila lng ung nag nnominate ng occupation namin ICT Customer support 313112. Nag tingin tingin kami ng mga job postings and napansin namin karamihan ng para sa occupation namin required ang security clearance. Madalas namin nakkita ung mga NV 1 clearance required.

Paano po ba makakakuha nun? pwede po ba makakuha nun kahit ndi citizen?

same situation tayo. Sa pagbabasa basa ko, citizens lang ang binibigyan nila ng clearance.

nikkiniknik11 · January 2014

Aww sayang nmn ang konti lng kasi ng opening na ndi required ung security clearance

bookworm · January 2014

san na ba kayo ngayon? Baka meron din naman mga work na di kailangan ng security clearance (I am also hoping for that). For ACT SS, kailangan lang naman ata ng mga 5.

nikkiniknik11 · January 2014

nakapag submit na kami ng Nomination Verification since limited ngaun ung slots ng 313112. Hopefully maging positive ung feedback. naglagay ako ng 8 job postings na nakita ko na walang clearance na kailangan pero ung iba mga 6 month contract lng.

Ang kinakatakot ko rin kasi kng ma-approve kami then pag dating namin dun mahirapan din kami humanap since karamihan required ng clearance.

ibang step pa ba yung nomination verification? yung sa akin kasi, ang pino process ko ngayon yung ACT SS nomination.

fear ko din yan, pero ang iniisip ko na lang, kung wala akong makita for my work initially, hanap muna ng ibang work. Pero continuous pa din paghahanap. Pag naging citizen na, kuha ng security clearance para mas marami ang job opportunities.

Nakita ko dun sa Guide nila na pag limited na ung slot kailangan mag send muna ng nomination verification bago mag send ng state nomination. Dito ko po nakita ung info http://www.canberrayourfuture.com.au/workspace/uploads/documents/190-skilled-nominated-guidelines-10-december-13.pdf

dun sa section na How to seek verification for your limited or closed occupation.

hello nikkiniknik11 - makikisuyo lang sana, nabasa ko kasi na tapos ka sa verification stage ng work sa ACT.

Ilang bwan ung kinosider nila sa job ads? andito na kasi ako sa stage na ito medyo nalilito lang ako kasi wala namang nakalagay kung ilang months ung kailangan na i-submit para ma-verify ung job ads

salamat.

nikkiniknik11 · January 2014

@jeorems - Hello, kahapon lng namin natanggap ung result ng Nomination verification and thank God na willing sila to consider us

Since January kami nag submit, ung mga postings na nakuha ko is around December and January. Although medyo nahirapan nga ako kasi karamihan sa occupation ko required ung security clearance which is indicated sa guide nila na ndi nila tatanggapin ung posting na required ang citizenship or security clearance. Nag pasa ako ng 8 postings kahit ung iba 6 months contract lng as long as walang citizenship or security clearance required.

@nikkiniknik11 hello po... ask ko lang kung na-bigyan kayo ng nomination ng ACT? state sponsored visa na po kayo?

nikkiniknik11 · January 2014

@cchamyl - bale Nomination verification pa lng po un. Since nasa limited ung occupation namin kailangan namin gawin ung extra step na un. After nun tska pa lng kami pwede mag submit ng requirements for state nomination.

cchamyl · January 2014

ahhh... ok po... salamat.

jeorems · January 2014

@nikkiniknik11 - salamat sa reply wow! galeng naman. congrats! according sa mga nag advice (well 2 pa lang naman kayo) is 2 mos nga ung nisubmit an job ads for verification.

bookworm · January 2014

@jeorems, na hijack na ang thread, back to topic na tayo dito about security clearance

jeorems · January 2014

just an update sa act job ads verification....

nag send ako ng inquiry re: job ads verification...ang sabi ng migration mgr is needs to be recent so they would consider 1 month of job ads...but some like what you saw sa post ni bookworm eh ung sa case nila ung job ads is like 2 months...please correct me if I am wrong...

nikkiniknik11 · January 2014

mukhang kailangan na namin ulit maghanap hanap ng bagong job postings kasi required sya ulit sa State Nomination step. Sana marami openings ngaung new year hehehe. Meron din po ba dito mga IT ang occupation?

this is issue have been very controversial in the Public Sector.

Its like chicken and egg.

You cant get a job if you dont have security clearance.
You cant get a security clearance if you dont have 'that' job.

Security clearance are initiated by employers (usually Federal Government) who will 'sponsor'' you.

You need to be an Australian Citizen to apply for it and this is on a demand basis only. There should be an absolute reason before they can apply for one. (applying for a job or role is not a reason).

Unfortunate that this is one of the reason why its very difficult to find a job in the ACT But very fortunate for those who already has, they are very well in demand.
