I'm having difficulty finding a job.

@kat123 - I wish you all the luck. I've read your post, and I guess I'm just concerned about 2 things.

The recruiter sounds desperate, which isn't a good sign. I don't think it's normal na tatawagan ka everyday and to confirm with you if hindi ka na naghahanap pa ng work. Nothing is final until you've signed the dotted line. So look after your interests as well.
It sounds fishy that the reason kaya nadedelay yung contract mo is because they are setting up network and login details. Normally, that's only done when the contract is signed. And it shouldn't be a showstopper at all.

I may be wrong of course and just suspicious, but again, look after your interests. Mas maraming mawawala sayo kesa sa kanila if they don't follow through with their promises.

@mhej hi yes. I understand that. The company is very busy kc kaya they need to know if committed ako mag work sa time ng contract ko. I got the contract na actually d ko pa lang napipirmahan. wala na lang nilagay na start at end date ung recruiter ko para maprepare na lang nya kc ung company nga daw wala pa daw binibigay na date sya kanya due to login issues. Kaya before nya naprepare yung contract lagi nyang kinoconfirm if go pa din ako kasi nastart na nga ung pagrequest na iadd ako sa system nila.

Gets ko ung login at network issues kc nung nagstart naman ako sa ibang company although sa canada yun parang 2 weeks akong walang ginagawa kasi nastart lang syang isetup after kong nagstart so while waiting ng login details ko 2 weeks lng ako nagbabasa basa ng kung ano ano dun. So I guess ganun na lang ginawa ng company para pagdating ko dun mattrain na nila ko ng maayos.

Wala naman din akong ginive up para dito kasi wala naman talaga akong interview invite man lang sa ibang company so waiting lang tlga ako. Nagstop lang ako magapply sa mga bagong job ads which I plan on doing anyways kasi nakakasad na d ako lumulusot sa screening man lang. so balak ko talaga magshort break kahit one week sa pagapply hehe.

So I feel pretty good about this, tapos na din ang reference check but thank you so much for your concern.

@kat123 , ask ko lang, on the average, gaano katagal ang responce time sa application? May feedback na ba after a week or days lang. Thanks.

kat123

@Megger you mean pag nagapply ka online sa seek or sa ibang website? It depends. Merong mabilis na wala pang one week may rejection letter ka na. Meron iba wala ka talagang balita. Meron naman din iba na pag sa website ng company careers section ka nagapply makikita mo yung status. Meron akong isa nakita ko na lang nung nagtingin ako may update na “no longer being considered” the day after ko magsubmit pero wala akong nareceive na letter don.

First interview ko with the recruiter sa isang job ayon one month na wala pa din akong balita. Nahiya nako magfollowup ulit. Pero nung nagapply ako don online the day after nagemail na sya ng skype interview request pero after that wala nakong balita. I assume di ako pumasa.

In short iba iba. Nagapply ako sa gov jobs ayon mejo matagal yon mga one month ung result the rest mejo mabilis naman. Depende kasi sa kanila kung after closing date sila nagsscreen ng applicants or nagsscreen na sila habang active yung job ad.

@kat123 , thanks sa reply.

I agree with @Hunter_08 Try muna kayo ng odd jobs like in retail etc to have a local experience and at the same time may income.

@mhej Most recruiters get a percentage of the salary of the person they get. Because meron na cya nakuha and ok na yung client, they want to make sure that they retain the person despite the delay. Mabilis ang world of contracting. In the recruiters mind, pano kung may ibang company mag kuha, for the same position, then they will be the one getting the income.

Guys, it took me 2 years to get a job in my field. During that time, nag woolies cashier ako at tuloy lang ang pag apply. Always keep the end goal in mind. Cheers!

@thatbadguy when we were trying to hire someone for our team, we used Seek. Depende yung criteria na ilalagay ng company. For us, ang sinulat namin, dapat may work permit. Some still apply na walang work permit or residency. So rejected lahat yun. Yung mga rejected, not necessarily makakatanggap ng email. we just put them in the reject pile. And yes, minsan totally unrelated yung field and mga tasks sa job na naka post so rejected din yun.

Got an update yesterday na sa monday nako magstart yaay finally 🙂

And then today may tumawag ulit na ibang recruiter. Offering a customer service rep role di ko lang natanong yung company nacurious lang ako kung better yung role na yon kesa sa work ko sa monday.

Nakita ulit nila ko sa seek. I have 7 months cust service role pero hindi yun ang recent experience ko kaya nagtaka ulit ako bat nakita nila ko.

Over time naman pala may makakakita at makakakita sayo na magoffer ng work kahit hindi in demand yung experience or skills mo so lagi lang magupdate sa seek. Ang resume ko dun naka set na public at very detailed na resume ang inupload ko I think mga 4 pages kasi nagadd ako ng short description din ng companies I worked for since hindi sya dito sa Aus.

@kat123 hi ms kat ask ko lang ano ung customer service line mo na inapplyan and experience dto sa pinas?call center or manufacturing experience ka? ano dn visa mo nagyun? thank you

kat123

@DreamerA hi. Ang experience ko sa pinas ay sa banking. 6 years ako dun as teller at bookeeeper. Nagmove ako sa canada after tapos yung first experience ko dun (6months) sa call center then after non nahire nako sa ibang office administration jobs sa 2 company.

I’m holding a partner visa. Pr ang husband ko here. Temporary sya ngayon pero pede nako magapply ng pr next year.

DreamerA

@kat123 thank you. sa palagay nyo po ba mhhrapan ako mkapsok sa kumpanya jan sa AU ,ung experience ko customer service pro sa manufacturing companies dto sa PH more on supply chain (multinationals) plano ko ksi mag work na jan end of this year. currently holding a subsequent 457 visa. wla ksi ako nkkita dto na officeadmin ung trabaho nla mdlas CPA , IT or engineers ung thread. medyo knkabahan lang dn baka sobra tagal bago makahanap ng work.salamat sa opinion

kat123

@DreamerA sa totoo lang di ko alam since mag two months pa lang ako here. Saglit lang yung experience ko sa call centre pero 2 na yung nagooffer sakin ng ganong work (message from indeed at seek) tinatanong kung interested ako. I think kung experience mo in general sa call centre at naghahanap ka ng call centre type job madami naman dito. Customer service type jobs or office admin (i think administrator tawag nila dito) madami din kaso yun nga gusto muna nila ng local experience so start muna tayo kahit saan

DreamerA

@kat123 local experience, meaning kht odd jobs at nde related sa administrator or office work? wala nmn bearing dn s knla if me Gap ung experience mo tama ba? dto ksi sa pinas d ka pwede me gap for example lumihis ka ng linya mo or nag stop work ka mna for the meantime.
