Sa tingin ko po eh kung directly nyo maccontact ang company, mas maganda. And kung OK naman ang experience nyo at qualified eh wala kayo dapat ikahiya, tawag lang sa kanila & mag-enquire. Lahat ng mga na-meet ko sa mga interview ay friendly kausap. Di tulad sa SG haha.
EDIT: .NET Web Developer po pala ako

but then again, pinoy tayo hehe! ) ) walang hindi kakayanin, walang hindi kayang lagpasan. salita lang yan pero likas na sa atin ang lumaban. bago lang din po ako dito mga kabayan. galing din ako sa dubai, nagbakasakali dito as student, taking up IT Network Security as specialization, kakarating ko lang po last week hehe, currently seeking for a part time job kahit ano po muna.
wala po ako hinihiling mula sa inyo, kaya ko naman po kumilos mag isa at makipagsapalaran sa labas, i will appreciate kung ano man po tulong meron, wala pa po ako masyadong kakilala dito pero positibo ako na makakahanap din at eventually maPR dito.
ask ko lang po if may meetups po mga pinoy dito? recommend ko na rin po itong website na ito if ever may plano pong meetups.. http://www.meetup.com/
laban lang kabayan!

Same case tayo bro I'm also staying in my bro's unit but i'm here in North Melbourne (Near CBD) at the moment. I assume your brother is the one who sponsored you? I notice same Visa subclass pala tayo bro 489 family sponsored ka rin. Agree, maganda yung train system dito. on time palagi and sufficient ang trains and most of all comfortable kasi hindi siksiksikan sa loob. I assume your taking Metro train (blue line) when you're going to CBD?
Konting tyaga lang bro. mabagal talaga ang turn around time ng mga feedback and calls ng recruiter or headhunter dito sa OZ. In my case, I've been staying here for like almost 2 months already and so far naka 2 Headhunter personal interviews pa lang ako and 1 technical test sa client. At least ikaw naka client interview ka na pala. Yung dun sa employer na nag-interview kamo sayo, it wouldn't hurt to make a follow up to them about your application. Just give them call bro baka mamaya they are still in the recruitment stage pa rin waiting for other applicants lang. I don't think issue yung location mo bro consistent naman ang trains dito on-time palagi madalang ang delays. just tell that to your interviewers next time baka iba lang perceptions nila about the train system here. kasi they have their own car..hehehe
Wala pa bro. Job hunting mode pa rin up to now. im giving myself a deadline ng End of June. pag wala pa rin mag-odd jobs muna ako tempo. kasi need k mag-ipon ng pera bago pumunta ng family ko dito sa melbourne ng september para may pangastos sa daily expenses. update mo na lang ako bro kung may nahanap ka ng job. Have faith! makakahanap din tayo ng work eventually!

I've been here in melbourne more than 1 month na. hindi ko alam kung nahihirapan ako mag-apply o hindi lang tlga napapansin application ko. kasi lahat na halos maintenance job pinasahan ko ng resume and yet ni 1 walang tumatawag. cgro dhl hindi pako PR. 457 lng visa ko, dependant type pa! ultimo duct cleaning technician inaapplyan ko na din,. nahihirapan lang ako tanggapin na this time wala pa tlga ako trabaho.
pero i am losing hope. apply lang ng apply, kahit magwinter na! apply lang ng apply! pag nalulungkot ako, ikinakain ko lang hehehe.
