@hotshot Haha mahina mehn. Pambayad renta lang ang unang sweldo. Ganyan kasi kapag nakatira ka sa city - ang mahal ng rent. Baligtad nga ang kalagayan ko - nakatira ako sa city tapos trabaho ko sa Mulgrave LOL.
I'm also looking at different investment options here. Didn't wanna get stuck on the rat race forever. Lahat ng tanungin kong taga-rito superannuation lang ang alam nilang investment. Most people here believe the government will (or must) provide fo…
Every fortnight ba ang swelduhan dito sa lahat ng companies? Finally I got through two weeks and first Australian sweldo na sa Wednesday! Ipapa-laminate ko yung pay slip ko hehe.
Maganda nga ang effect ng may local experience sa CV. In my first thr…
@rei_ya Certificate of Good Conduct ang kukunin sa Dubai Police. Kailangan nyong mag-Dubai kahit ilang araw to get it sa may station opposite Lamcy Plaza.
@jvframos Google is your friend, my friend. Alternatively, look up salary info on Aussie recr…
Seen and noted yung isang employment certificate ko from pinas. Wala namang reklamo from ACS and diac. Ielts result is original so hindi na kailangan i-ctc. Same goes with police clearance.
You are not your mother. Tutal wala namang masyadong bearing ang having relatives sa Australia ngayon, meaning wala nang relative-sponsored unless selected areas. If you just answer the forms truthfully and daraan ka sa tamang procedure, should be n…
...Alam nyo nman po ang mga anaps galing india puro Certifications. Yun ang napansin ko ksi I am involved in hiring and interview process dito sa SG. Pero to be honest, mas impressed ako sa mga pinoy, ksi even though kula tayo a sa cert ksi ang maha…
@alexamae Thanks. Tip lang ulit: huwag panghinaan ng loob at mawalan ng tiwala sa sarili. Makakatulong na rin kung mag-ooffer ng ibang skills besides sa main skill nyo. Sa Customer Relations ako ngayon dahil may background ako sa Cust Service. This …
Starting work on Tuesday. Total time it took me to get a job: 3 months. Surpassed the first hurdle which is local experience. I hope it's smooth sailing from here. Thank you God.
Unless you can turn back time, I suggest you do both retaking ielts and applying for state sponsorship, giving priority to the latter. Why? Ss application is free on most states and guarantees you instant invite. Downside is it takes time for the re…
@wenzhel nakatyempo lang ako sa groupon ng bespoke suit w shirt and tie na sa karama yung patahian. Magaganda yung mga long islib sa lamcy mga Indian and Pakistani made. Wag k bibili sa g2000 ang mamahal hk size pa, dI kasya sa mga big boned kagaya …
Kasama sa basics ang Mediacom ha? Noyping noypi! Ingat lang kabayan dahil nakabibingi ang katahimikan dito. Baka katukin ka ng pulis kapag ginamit mo yan.
Ang soooooooobrang mahAl dito ay yung mga pagkapapangit na damit at shoes. Nagpatahi ako sa k…
Interesting observation: this time around as I was doing follow up calls, I tried to talk in native Aussie accent (complete with inflections) and guess what? Mas matagal nila akong kinausap and they explained why I dont qualify (overqualified naman …
@vhoythoy ^ Whoa whoa foul yan! I for one hate it kapag yung kabayan na cashier sa Carrefour ay mumurahin sa tagalog yung bagger na pana sa likod nya kapag mabagal kumilos. Parang traydor ang dating. Ayoko namang sabihan ako ng bad words in another …
@hotshot Haha wala pa naman. Kapag nakalipat na gagamit na ako ng VPN tunnel pektus dahil maraming magagandang upcoming Blu-ray release sa torrent hehe.
@icebreaker1928 Akala ko rin sir pero yung $59.80 ay with Xbox game or X-box Live membership lang. $79.80 yung may console mismo.
@faye $59.99 monthly ang unlimited ADSL ng TPG.
@faye Nag-inquire din ako sa DODO - $59.80 din unli adsl pero 24 months ang contract. Medyo dodgy din ang installation/relocation fee nila which is between $59 to 299 "depending on the connection situation". I don't want to sign up for something na …
I need to move to another apartment so I called TPG to request for service relocation. Okay na sana yung usapan biglang merong $129.99 relocation fee (dafuq!). That's even higher than the initial installation charge ($99 +$20 refundable deposit). Ma…
@Okim depende sa role. May mga Microsoft certified na kasama sa job requirements. May ITIL, etc. pero iisa ang pattern ng system analyst dito - madalas ang required cert combo is ITIL, VMware, and Citrix. Laking tipid nga naman sa hw and licenses ng…
@phinax Hi phinax. Fellow Melbourne-based jobseeker here. May tendency talaga na i-downgrade natin ang sarili natin just to get a job. Nagsimula akong mag-submit ng applications for system admin and IT consultant jobs. Then naging service desk analy…
Totoo, daming lasenggo sa Melbourne. Ang hirap umuwi nang gabi. And when I say gabi, I mean 8-ish dahil naglalabasan ang mga tao from work nang 4 or 5, some drink in the bars before going home, so mga 7 or 8 ang dami nang amoy chico sa tram and sa s…
Depende yung savings sa number of family member IMO. Kung kayo lang mag-asawa and isang anak na wala pa sa school, kahit isa lang ang mag-work you can still live comfortably.
World's Most Livable City all the way!
LOL I might sound biased, but I've been to both cities (although two weeks lang sa Syd) and I can say it's easier to get around in Melbourne in terms of transpo and infrastructure (parang grid kasi yung mga k…
Noong bagong dating kami dito, nilakad namin ni misis yung Carlton gardens which is around 1 km from our place, without knowing na nasa tawid lang pala namin ang Fitzroy gardens. Perfect place for jogging, picnic or just plain strolling. Nakakawala …
