@Neng - thanks po sa inputs. Iniisip ko kasi na baka mas malaki ang chance na makakuha ng work if may mga bala ako ng CPA or CMA. Was also planning to get certificate 4 in accounting. Baka mas malaki ang chance.
Sa mga nakahanap po ng work..did you study MYOB?

(b) kung nasa pinas ka pa with visa - not impossible but definitely mas mahirap sa situation a above...
(c) kung nasa pinas ka with no visa - it is a futile effort i guess dahil, in the event na swertihin ka talaga and you get the job, they will look for evidence that you are eligible to work in australia.
whereabouts are you now with regards to your visa processing? take it easy lang...

I am really interested in your posts. Congrats to your wife getting a job and your new life there in Australia. May I ask about the career talk you mentioned that suggested the customised PPT? This could really be beneficial. I am also an Accountant and planning to come down under soon. Hope we can keep in touch.
Btw, bisaya ka bai? I think I saw your post once regarding Bisaya peeps in Melbourne.
Salamat kaayo.

Sure bai, what do you need to know?
The talk was part of the many forums included in a recent career expo here in VIC - that specific topic is regarding getting a job for new migrants...
Whilst that can be added points to the interview, it is very important to note that getting noticed to be invited for an interview is probably the hardest part in the whole job search process...
Have you gotten your visa already? Whereabouts do you plan to settle?

Sakto jud ka bai. Getting an interview invite is the the most challenging of the job hunting process. In other forums, there are plenty of people in the same boat.
What field are you in bai? Really appreciate all your insights in this thread.

You can definitely join a similar career fair when you arrive here. Events such as these pops in every so often. You just need to pay a minimal entrance fee for it.
Goodluck!!

I got 2 mates in Sydney before, it took them more than 6 months to get a job... Couple sila.
My wife got a contract work on her 2nd month; and 2 wks ago lang sya na regular after around 9 months. Been trying to move for a better company but no luck so far, this will do for now at least she can gain local experience.
Ang iba naman swerte, former officemate ni misis was able to land a job after a month lang.
All I spoke of above are accountants.

Dko alam mga terminologies sa accounting, basta ang alam ko lang full sets of accounts ang hawak ni wifey sa SG. At base sa experience nya sa paghahanap ng new job sa SG, palaging positive results ang mga interviews, problem lang ay 2months notice sya sa work kaya hindi makaalis alis. Sana puro positive results din ang matatanggap nya once she started applying. More than 10years na din work experiences nya at mostly full sets ang hawak nya. May God be with us in our new journey here in AU.

true na may oversupply; simply a lot of people competing for an opening. harsh as it may sound, my wife is actually welcoming the news that they may remove accountants as part of the skilled occupation this coming july. at least daw it will give accountants who are already here a chance to find a work suitable for their skills set.
