@DreamerA basta sa field mo yan at gusto mo, i go mo lang. Mahirap kasi minsan makakuha kaagad ng work sa field tlga natin. Kailangan ng local experience, etc. Tyagain mo yan for maybe a year, or kaya hanap ka ng room lang na malapit dun. Mahirap …

@DreamerA I prefer to think na tyaga at dasal, at hindi suwerte ang kailangan Hindi magiging madali tlga sa simula at pawis at luha ang makakamit. Good luck sa big move.

@DreamerA hindi ako nag judge, sinabi ko lang na kapag office admin jobs, isa yan sa kailangan na skill. Kasi pag di ka nila maintindihan, pipili na lang sila ng iba, since madami ang mag apply ng ganyang trabaho. Pero madami naman trabho. Nag trab…

@japsdotcom ang suggestion ko, ihasa mo ang cybersecurity skills mo. Yan ang magiging in demand soon. Ano work ng wife mo dito? Kelan ang dating nyo dito?

in I'm having difficulty finding a job. Comment by bookworm October 2018
@japsdotcom mahirap ang IT dito. PR ako pero hirap pa din ako dito sa Canberra kasi ang kailangan nila, may security clearance, which is only for citizens. Minsan, nabibigyan ng exception from clearance pag tlgang wala sila mahanap sa field na yun a…

@DreamerA Yes, priority nila PR and citizen. As long as meron ka work rights, kukunin ka nila, kahit hindi PR. Wag ka lang mapili sa trabaho. Also, kung mag aapply ka ng office admin jobs, mahihirapan ka kung ganyan English and spelling mo (no off…

@DreamerA malabo ma hire at sponsor kung office admin work or manufacturing business. Yan yung mga skill na madami dito sila ma hire without additional expense of visa. Pansinin mo, wala din yan sa skill shortage list. Prefer tlga nila, meron na wo…

@thatbadguy when we were trying to hire someone for our team, we used Seek. Depende yung criteria na ilalagay ng company. For us, ang sinulat namin, dapat may work permit. Some still apply na walang work permit or residency. So rejected lahat yun. Y…

@mhej Most recruiters get a percentage of the salary of the person they get. Because meron na cya nakuha and ok na yung client, they want to make sure that they retain the person despite the delay. Mabilis ang world of contracting. In the recruiters…

@kat123 depende sa field. There are some jobs that do not require local experience. For example, IT. But there are some jobs that you need local experience for local policies or regulations. Anong field mo?

@Pandabelle0405 depende din. Nahirapan din ako pero sinuwerte kasi may pinoy dun na nag refer sa akin. Pag nag apply ka, tanggalin mo lahat ng credentials mo. Iwan mo lang basic. For example, ang IT ka, puwede mo isulat, proficient in MS Office Suit…

I am going to add my 2 cents to this thread, pero instead of Singapore, Taiwan ako. Back story, I worked in Taiwan for about 8 years, for a MNC and puwede na mag apply to become a citizen, and Single at the time. Anyway, when I first contemplated…

My tipid tips would be: -for buying furniture or appliances, look at garage sales, gumtree or facebook marketplace. You get a lot of good quality products from there. -for electricity or other utilities, ask around what packages they have and ask …

@chococrinkle sorry for the late reply. Would your current coe indicate that you are still in the same position and same company? If yes, I wouldn't worry about it.

@Megger It really depends on each person. From experience, it is better because it puts less pressure on the main provider to find a job immediately. There is urgency, yes, but because the expenses are less, and the family is still ok back home, the…

@megger, @mikeyanbu, I recommend coming here first. It would be easier to manage and try to look for jobs na mag isa lang muna kayo. Mahirap but it would be better off financially. Pag may established work na kayo at mas stable na, tsaka nyo na lang…

The start will always be hard just always keep your end goal in mind. Ako kasi, since single, sabi ko, di ako mabubuhay sa pinas pag nag retire na. Ayaw ko din umasa sa mga pamangkin, mas maaga ako mamamatay (because of pride). So sabi ko, Australia…
