And don’t be afraid to start over, yung pagtiwala nila sa skills and experience natin kahit di sya local is big enough of a risk sa kanila. Plus lahat naman nagsasabi na madali maghanap ng ibang work once onshore and you have local experience. > > > > > > Mabibigay ko lang na tip sa paghahanap ng work is: > > > > > > 1) Quality over Quantity. Piliin yung aapplyan and customize your CV and Cover Letter para makalusot sa filter ng seek or linkedin. > > > > > > 2) If possible, send your application directly to the hiring manager or CEO of the company. I sent my application directly to the email address of the CEO, and they called me and praised my initiative and drive to present myself for the position. > > > > > > 3) Be confident and be honest. Don’t overpromise, recognize your weakness and strength. If they are interested in your skills and experience, they will accommodate you. In my case, I was honest during the interview process that I’m still in the Philippines, that I already have a booked flight and that I put my friends’ address sa CV ko. > > > > > > 4) Get an Australian SIM if possible. Sobrang laking tulong nito. I will give a shoutout dun sa nag offer but I do not want her to get flooded with requests to purchase a sim. So I will give a silent shoutout sa kanya. Why AU SIM is important? Because employers will schedule an “informal” interview first before scheduling a zoom or video interview. I got two such calls with my AU SIM, and they even ask you to return call so mahalaga you can also call or text with the sim (so roaming enabled) > > > > > > 5) Improve your LinkedIN profile. Even though di sya vinisit ng nag offer sa akin ng job, there are a lot of recruiters who visited and viewed my LinkedIn profile to check if I am a suitable candidate. > > > > > > 6) Also check out this video: [https://youtu.be/0vTyJE9vQGI?si=RbogTgaWWDPiaHOc](https://youtu.be/0vTyJE9vQGI?si=RbogTgaWWDPiaHOc "https://youtu.be/0vTyJE9vQGI?si=RbogTgaWWDPiaHOc") > > > > > > 7) Tatagan mo loob mo. Be prepared to get rejection emails everyday. Kahit na sobrang pinagpaguran mo yung paggawa ng resume and CV mo. At the end of the day you are disadvantaged kasi offshore ka. > > > > > > 8) Use AI. To analyze job listing, and create cover letter. Not saying na buong letter is chat gpt (though may mga sinend ako na ganito - sadly walang bumalik), but you can use it to better the wording of your cover letter. > > > > > > Lastly, good luck! You’ll need a lot of it. > > > > > > Sabi nga nila, malayo pa pero malayo na. We’re one step closer sa dream natin. Laban lang. > > > > Wow, this is really helpful. Thank you for this. I'm in the same boat myself, job hunting since Feb (I got my grant last November 2024). Sent a lot of CVs and Cover Letters, each one customised based on the job posting. > > > > Nakaka-stress, kasi aside sa inaasikaso ko yung paglipat sa Australia, at the same time inaasikaso rin yung pag-let go sa Pilipinas (benta/pamigay ng gamit, paayos ng iiwan na bahay para mapa-rent na hanggang ngayon wala parin kumukuha). Literal na dugo, luha at pawis yung ginugugol ko. > > > > Nakaka-down, kasi sa lahat ng sinend ko since Feb, isa lang bumalik, rejection pa. E todo effort rin ako sa pag update ng resume at cover letter kada job post na pinag-apply-an ko. > > > > Nakaka-kaba, kasi ten days nalang, flight na namin, dala dala ko pamilya ko ng wala pa akong trabaho, wala pang rerentahan na bahay, makiki-tuloy lang kami sa kaibigan ng 1 week - so di pa namin alam saan kami tapos nun. > > > > Kaya maraming salamat talaga dito, hindi pala ako nag-iisa. Actually naghahanap lang din ako ng karamay, hehe. At kung may mga nauna na tulad mo, congratulations! Ibig sabihin susunod na rin ko. > > same boat din tayo, Nov grant, nagstart maghanap since January, excited pero natatakot din kasi bibitbitin family papunta. Kaya salamat sa post ni @MidnightPanda12. Kapit lang at magtiwala sa Panginoon, hnd nya bbigay 'tong grant kung walang trabaho dun n para sa 'tin :wink: Exactly my thoughts po during the job hunt. Hindi naman ako mapupunta sa skilled occupation list na need nila if di ako need sa Australia. Everything happens for a reason. Also, as many others have said, isa lang pong employer ang need natin. And the rest will fall into place. Good luck on the job hunt po :)

Question po. In progress po now ang visa 491 application ng baby ko (granted na visa 491 namin ng hubby ko) and mag-big move na kami next month. Nabasa ko na pwede applyan ng bridging visa si baby pero dapat nasa AU na siya at the time of application. Basta ang kailangan lang namin is yung bridging visa na makapagstay siya sa AU indefinitely hanggang sa result ng visa 491 application niya. So questions: 1. Kailangan ko apply ng tourist visa muna si baby diba para sa move namin next month? 2. Tama po ba na BVC bridging visas lang pwede ko applyan? 3. Ano po process ng bridging visa application? If may nakaexperience na sainyo neto, hope you can share ano ginawa niyo.. Thank you po! 🙂

Navigating the de facto visa application process can be challenging, but community advice is always helpful. Taking a break with [Minion Rush mod APK](https://apkpond.com/minion-rush/ "Minion Rush mod APK") sounds like a great way to de-stress!

Hello, any recent grants po for SC400?

Hello, I'm a bachelor's degree holder (Civil engineering in the Philippines) and graduated last year. It took me awhile to finish my studies because it just felt like it wasn't for me. And now, I'm just kinda floating and jobless. But my brother wanted to take me to Australia to study. I am wondering is it possible for me to take on a trade course from TAFE given my situation? More about me, I felt like just finishing my degree just because I was told to do so. But now that I did, I want to follow what I am really interested in and that is fabrication and manufacturing, more specifically welding. And so would it be possible for me to take on a trade course in TAFE or other Trade schools that offers Certificate II in Engineering (MEM 20422) and then proceed to Certificate III in Engineering (MEM31922)? Thanks!

May experience ba dito na nagapply trhu Sponsored Family stream? Ano kaya pwede namin na isubmit as proof of return or home ties para sa parent ko? Nagrrent sya ng bahay, walang properties at walang savings.

Laging kinakapos ng 1 or 2pts. I haven't been dependent on chatgpt o kahit anong AI kasi sa curriculum naman sa pinas dati, okay ang textbook english. Importante yung coherence, kasi may nabasa akong write essay template nun although highfalutin words mostly ang ginamit, walang essence eh haha sorry. Kelangan mo aralin paano magiging diskarte mo talaga, kasi nga iba iba tayo ng learning style. > > > > Pansin ko sa Write Essay part may weight ang wide vocabulary. For the rest of the test sections--familiarity (which you can get by regular practice) and focus doing test day are keys. > > Thanks for sharing your thoughts. > > I think speaking is one of the areas I need to work on, especially RA and RS. Did you manage to get a perfect score or at least 79 pts in those sections in APEUni practice tests? Struggling a bit, so any advice would be really helpful 🙏 My last attempt for listening and writing, yes. Nakakatawa nga kasi yan lang 2 prinactice ko that time since yan yung mababa ko. Hindi ko na sila naperfect sabay sabay. 😆 [preview] Mas mahirap daw mock tests ng APEUni compared to actual test based sa mga previous comments dito. Sa essay, I suggest using compound sentences. Determine mo din saan kang part hirap para mas madami practice time mo dun. Para yung mga easy lang for you, tamang review na lang.

For people who are based in SG and are having problems s evidence of payment for ACS, I highly recommend Austral. They are based in SG and they are an expert based on our experience. Too bad I actually signed with an agency in Australia but they didn’t manage to help us on our documents - waisted 3500 aud on them and time.

Nicely put, Many thanks.https://reddit.com My web-site - adult friend finder
