I'm having difficulty finding a job.

Gori

Hello Gabi,

San ka sa Australia? Sabay tayong dumating Sept 1st ako nag land sa Sydney. I got 3 job offers after 6 weeks. Naka ilang interview ka na? Ano ang skills mo? First you have to do is to make your CV noticed. Customize your CV accdg to the job description as they always say. Then once invited for interview they prefer someone who is outspoken and can express himself very well.

<blockquote rel="GDans">hi guys. Gabby here. arrived in oz september lang this year. i'm also a mainframe programmer. was wondering if any of the newer migrants have actually had luck getting a job. 2 months na ako looking. medyo na-fufrustrate ako. madalas kasi wala man lang feedback. so no idea if i'm doing something wrong or they see something undesireable sa CV ko. medyo mahirap maging patient kasi wala naman ako idea kelan ako swertihin. anyway... appreciate some of your stories. nakaka-encourage knowing someone from my background has had some success. so post niyo naman kung may updates kayo

@gori

arrived september 5. sadly wala pa ako nakuhang interview. i've applied to positions in other states pero no luck pa din. i'm thinking it's because i'm living in melbourne? and yes, i've been changing up my CV and cover letters. still no luck.

i have a cousin in sydney i can live with for a while. do you think that would be a good idea?

@tassburrfoot

no need to apologize. i think un nga din talaga ung reality. i have other skills so may hope pa din. i have also been applying to BSA and test analyst.

@JCsantos

there were a couple of positions in ACT but kelangan ng security clearance.

Three weeks nako dito wala pa ring work. Naka-dalawang interview ako pero no luck. Lately naghahanap ako sa net ng Avaya-related jobs dito sa Sydney pero ala akong makita. Pati data-entry jobs inaaplayan ko na rin. Suerte lang kasi di ko problema ang bahay at pagkain, pero may time na nahihiya na ako kasi wala pa akong trabaho.

Lately sumaside-line ako sa packing, nagtatape lang at naglalagay ng stickers sa mga boxes.buti naisingit ako sa trabaho nung kakilala ko. Sayang kasi ang mga araw na lumilipas. At least may dumarating na pera kahit magkano lang.

Sa mga Mommy try mag alaga ng mga kids on weekdays while waiting for job opportunity. Pagaralan mabuti kung paano ito. Mag post ng ads sa Gumtree. Goodluck and God bless.

Sa Industrial Engineer & its related posts like Planner, Operations/Manufacturing Supervisor, saan po mas marami job opportunities, sa South Australia or Sydney?

If you are an IE, wag ka mag SA kc halos walang job opportunities dun for IE....go to Sydney or Melbourne mas maraming mfng. May separate thread dto sa forum about IE jobs sa SA i-read mo ung thread na un para po makakuha k ng info. Although na mention ko dun sa thread na un na ung officemate ko na Iranian, may friend sya na IE ndi nakahanap ng work sa SA more than a yr dn daw nag stay ung friend nya sa SA kaya lumipat dto sa Melbourne ayun na hire nman agad sa 1 automotive mfng company dto.

Sa SA nag migrate ung friend nya dahil sa state sponsorship din....pero un nga ndi nakahanap ng work dun, pero nagpaalam nman ng maayos kaya wala nman naging problema ung friend nya nung lumipat dto sa Melbourne. Bakit po di ka mag 189 para kahit saang state pwede ka mag work?

@happyinmelbourne34, just in case 55 points lang po ako, option ko is SS para may 5 points. with 60 points, so pwede na ako makaproceed. kaso lang, South Australia lang ang may opening sa state sponsorship sa IE

Ahhh, oo nga yan nga ung nabanggit ni sir lockcode na SA lang ang open sa state sponsorship para sa mga IE. Anyhow, goodluck po sa application mo. Pero in general medyo mahirap ng makahanap ng mfng job dto dahil daming nagsasara na company dahil sa cost..dito a Melbourne sunod sunod na nag-announce na sasarado ng Ford, Holden at Toyota ung mga manufacturing facilities nila starting next yr until 2017 and job losses could reach as high as 50,000. Pero if your experience is a Planner, I think madami nman opportunities supply/demand planner specially sa mga FMCG, or Pharmaceuticals un nga lang either here in Melbourne or Sydney

happyinmelbourne34

medyo advantage din po kung APICS certified ka specially kung supply chain planner ung gusto mo na field. If available ung mga APICs courses sa current location mo, magpa member ka then kung afford mo take at least ung Basics of Supply Chain Mngt kc medyo malaking advantage ung my APICS certification, its internationally recognise my kamahalan nga lang ung mga courses at ung membership fee (I think depends sa location pero dto _200AUD ung membership fee and 1 course fee is about 1,400AUD ung price)..

IslanderndCity

@happyinmelbourne34, Thanks po sa tips. I think may isang course akong natapos dati sa Pinas under APICS. I'll check my certificates/docs. Thanks po.

IslanderndCity

Thanks po. Sana maka-189 para Sydney; else, if 190 lang, sana magkaroon pa ng job opportunities sa SA for IE.

Hi - May copy pa po ba kau nung recommended CV format ng AU government? di na nag work yung Link.

2 week na mga application ko ni isa wala pa reply by email or phone call =(

IT field ko sa infra.

thank in advance sa mag forward ng copy or a working link

IslanderndCity

@slamania102 are you in Au now applying jobs? or away from Au & applying online muna?

jr17sg

Ako naman po ay pinalad at 2 companies ang nagbigay sa akin ng offer. Ang 1 inaapplyan ko thru LinkedIn, at yung 1 naman eh nirefer ako ng friend ng friend ko. May mga ilan din ako na inapplyan sa mga job sites pero lahat sila parang mga headhunters at ni 1 call wala ako nakuha sa kanila. Pero almost 2 weeks lang naman po ako nagsubmit ng mga resume.

Sa tingin ko po eh kung directly nyo maccontact ang company, mas maganda. And kung OK naman ang experience nyo at qualified eh wala kayo dapat ikahiya, tawag lang sa kanila & mag-enquire. Lahat ng mga na-meet ko sa mga interview ay friendly kausap. Di tulad sa SG haha.

EDIT: .NET Web Developer po pala ako

kremitz
