    Sa mga nagaapply na na wala pa sa Aus, sinasabi nyo ba kung PR status kayo tsaka may mga pumapansin ba kung halimbawa eh months ka pa before dumating sa Aus? Gusto ko sana mag try before dumating dyan para atleast sa first week mo pa lang makasched ka ng face to face interview kung susuwertehin.

    Nasabi na ito e ulitin ko lang dapat tailor fit yung resume mo sa aapplayan mong trabaho

    like I am a Powerbuilder programmer pero since I also do some hardcore scripting ( SQL , MSS, SYBASE and Oracle ) I also apply on SQL jobs not jus Powerbuilder, so what I did is I have a Resume for SQL and One for a Powerbuilder Role so far puro PB jobs lang nakukuha ko pero im hopefull pa rin to a SQL jobs ....

    Regarding visa status sa Linkedin, what i did is nilagay ko sya sa profile ko sa unahan ng "summary". I know someone na nilagay sya mismo after ng name, para makita agad siguro ng headhunters/ recruiter. Ako nilagay ko lang is "holds australian permanent visa 189 which give me rights to live and work anywhere in australia". basta importante ma emphasize kasi major requirements un lalong lalo na sa mga headhunters.

    Sa ngaun dahil magulo pa isip ko hindi pa ako nagsusubmit ng job applications. but im planning to send messages personally sa mga linkedin account connections ko na recruiters sa australia to get advise and help before ako mag move sa Australia.

    Usually, you can search sa seek, then makikita mo who posted the job. Most likely, that person have linkedin account. Also, the connections/ friends ng particular headhunters connection sa mo sa linkedin are also recruiters din and/or within their circle. Sila sila din minsan nag coconnect mapapansin mo yan minsan mga direct recruiters/ HR ng client Companies nila.

    Mas ok kasi sa linkedin mas personal, like social media. I've got lot of calls/ potential opportunities through linkedin and monster talaga. Its a good networking sites. I know a lot of people na nakakuha ng jobs through referrals jan sa site na yan as compared to randomly sending resumes sa job sites. maybe because of filtering and thousands are submitting for same position, while sa linkedin medyo personal and dating.

    I dont think important na banggitin pa ang IELTS.

    Goodluck

    Hi Guys,

    BUMP ko lang yung thread since I know a lot of kababayans are still searching.

    Also don't forget to make sure that you modify your CV and Cover letter AUS style ;)

    Best of luck to all!

    As we all know, very important ang network here in Australia. I suggest for new migrants or even yung mga may work na to join or attend yung mga meetups.. for example.. i'm in IT industry.. nag member ako ng groups na related to Agile and attend ng mga meet ups.. Meet ups will help grow your network at the same pwede mo rin ma practice yung communication skills mo.. or have confidence in talking or introducing yourself to other people...free din yung mga meetups.. then most of the time.. may libre yung food and drinks dahil may mga company na nag sponsor...

    ito yung website for Sydney... http://www.meetup.com/sydney/

    meron din group on job and career.. may naka schedule na meetup this week (Sept 10)..

    In addition to @multitasking, sa mga software tester na tulad namin you can attend or be a member of SIGiST (Special Interest Group in Software Testing) minsan may mga headhunters na pumunta dito so its good to meet and talk to them and make them as network or sometimes mga Testing consultancies ang nagsponsor ng seminar you might meet the right connections to their company at pwede rin makatulong. Every state meron nito at yung seminar is free tulad ng sabi ni multitasking. If you're lucky enough you might be able to talk to someone that can help you out to find a job or next career move.
