@sonsi_03 Sa aking recollection 3 months lang may work na ako na full time. Nakuha ko sya through word of mouth from my trainor. Kumuha kasi ako ng free training from "Skills for all" na inaadvertise nila sa council papers weekly. Maganda naman ang…

@laurence Go to mass if you're a Catholic at St. Francis Xavier in the CBD every Sunday. Dami ka makikita pinoys. :-D

@sonsi_03 Well, ako assessed ako as engineer ng SA pero malayo linya ng work ko dito. Its just a matter of diversification kasi mahirap work for engineers dito unless you are in the area of mining,defence or oil/gas. Thriving dito is IT and retail.

in I'm having difficulty finding a job. Comment by donking September 2013
Well, not to be bias just because i'm residing in Adelaide. It is a quiet, laid back and welcoming city. In terms of jobs, mas maraming oppurtunity sa Sydney because it is more populated and cosmopolitan than Adelaide. In terms of cost of living, ho…

in Bad things about Adelaide Comment by donking August 2013
Normally, smart casual sila unless kung sa CBD ka maraming offices requires suit. :-)

in Kailangan bang naka Suit sa Exam and/or Interview Comment by donking August 2013
depends kung blue vollar or white collar job. Sometimes iaadvise ka nila what to wear. Nung ininterview ako sabi sakin mas gusto nila transparency and character over modes of clothing. :-)

in Kailangan bang naka Suit sa Exam and/or Interview Comment by donking August 2013
baon din parati kahit may pumupunta na lunch van sa work. Libre kape, juice, gatas, tea, cake at scones. Kahit may malapit na hungry jackass at mcdo di ako nabili para tipid. Tsaka masarap luto ni esmi. hehe

Baka madalas nyo din marinig yung I "reckon'" meaning sa "tingin" ko, Bush pag bastos yun na yun pag disenteng usapan "disyerto", "outback" gitna ng OZ. Ta "Thanks".

in Understanding the Aussie tongue Comment by donking July 2013
agree, sa work ko puro Aussies, ako lang noypi. Yung iba tipong probinsya ang accent kaya talaga dugo ilong ko pati tenga pero pag nasanay ka na "your da bomb mate". Ang Z nila "zed" ang H ay "heych" and A ay "Ay" O.o Mababait mga kasama ko they ar…

in SENDING MONEY TO THE PHILIPPINES Comment by donking July 2013
@dakz depende kung anung ititick or idedeclare mo dun sa passenger disembarkation mo. Pagka wala ka naman idedeclare VEVO checking lang then your good to go. Basta no food then declare mo yung mga dapat ideclare wala kang magiging problema. :-)

in SENDING MONEY TO THE PHILIPPINES Comment by donking July 2013
Try navigating gumtree, i reckon there's lots of part time jobs advertised. Another is get a local council paper weekly. :-)

in Unified Part-Time Job Posting Thread Comment by donking June 2013
@ianne27 basta advise ko lang sa interview whether panel or 1 on 1 is just to be just yourself and know whats on your resume. :-D. Just getting the interview is your nearly there. cguro mga 80%. magfafail ka lang sa little things. Before they will a…

yep. madami ka pa makikilala na people from all walks of life. Minsan ang job oppurtunities dala ng word of mouth "unadvertised"

in I'm having difficulty finding a job. Comment by donking June 2013
@RuChe basta kung wala ka makita sa skilled category mo, magdiverse ka sa ibang field. They like someone who is flexible and simply like to work. saka mo na hanapin yung dream job mo. :-)

in I'm having difficulty finding a job. Comment by donking June 2013
@Rubled22 If you are landing in Sydney, I suggest with the local paper provided by your local council everytime. :-D. You'll never know andun ang swerte.

in Job-hunt success stories Comment by donking June 2013
@ianne27 Wow congrats on the visa grant. Just to get you a heads up before you get here. Madami work dito they just want someone who wants to work thats all. Kasi yung mga locals nila tamad! yun ang lamang natin.

@Rubled22 We receive a local newspaper from our council weekly, so dun ko nabasa yung advertisement ng training provider nila about a free forklift course + the free forklift licensing. Sa ngayon yung upgrade ko sa forklifting e.g. cherry picker, OL…

libre yung cert 3 course ko kasama ang forklift license, it was funded by the government. Kung kukuha ka ng certification sa forklift it will cost you around 300~400. Pwede naman magtraining while looking for a job. Madami jobs dito basta di ka lang…
