Have you guys heard of Airtasker? Not sure how popular it is in other states/cities, but I think in Sydney and Melbourne it's pretty popular. It's a website that allows people to post random tasks/jobs up for bidding, then you can bid on them. Usua…

I have the same role here in Sydney but I'm getting so much more now compared to what I was getting in Singapore.

in Asking Salary in Australia for Singapore Expats Comment by cholle December 2014
^Yup, exactly. No point comparing it to your former salary wherever you came from. Your basis would be the average salary for your position/industry and your skills/experience/qualifications for the role, plus consider the cost of living in the area…

@cholle @acrossborder I don't think it's an issue. Syempre mas gusto ng gobyerno na bumalik sa workforce ang mga matagal nang natengga. As long as your skill set / qualifications match *almost exactly* what they need, employers will be interested. O…

@IslanderndCity Nope, no need for a physical office, in fact many of them register their home address as their business address kapag kumukuha ng ABN. Tapos diretso sa bank account nila ang payment. Scope of work includes weekly or fortnightly clean…

Madali lang naman kumuha ng ABN number. Sa work ko ngayon (strata management) marami kaming kinukuha na mga cleaners na kanya-kanyang business lang talaga. Tipong kokontrata sila ng iilang mga properties na lilinisin nila, sila bahala sa schedule. M…

Kelangan mo talagang humanap ng friends or support group. Marami namang mga Pinoy dito. Siguro pagdating mo, magrent ka ng room sa isang house na may mga Pinoy kang housemates para di ka malungkot tsaka they can guide you.
