Same plans here early next year pero naka entry na kami sa Melbourne last month

what are your experience? maramj naman ako nakikita na accounting openings sa seek.

ethel_starr

@TasBurrfoot Yes, marami sa seek, but so far my applications have been unsuccessful. I spoke with a recruiter and she said it might be because of my lack of local experience. I have 7 yrs total experience, 3 in a general accounting role and 4 as a financial analyst in Cebu.

@ethel_starr, I have been working locally as an accountant with a CPA practitioner. I've currently applying for new opportunities, but unsuccessful. Pati nga mga company na I've worked with in the Philippines like JP Morgan at Deutsche Bank, e nirereject ako. i don't know what they want. maybe because lahat ng exp ko e Pinas. for most accountants na kakilala ko at may exp like SG, they can get good jobs. or maybe, pangit lang ang experience ko. hehehe. but don't lose hope.

All informations are found in the CPAA website; pay the fee, prepare all your school papers (including the most important syllabus) and hope that you passed all the subjects needed to become an associate member.

From there it will be 6 exams at close to a thousand bucks each before you can earn the designation of CPA.

Give or take, 3 yrs to complete - earlier if you plan to take more than one paper per semester.

All the best; all specific infos are in the CPAA website.

Hehe! Actually kahit saan na feeling ko relevant yung skills ko. It's been three weeks and naka isang interview pa lang. Usually either local experience or CPA/CA (Aust) na certification yung hinahanap. 🙂 Suggestion, if kaya maging CPA before lumipad dito, do it now. 😃 God bless mga kapatid.

guys.. na ipost ko na itong suggestion ko sa kabilang thread.. for those who are still looking for jobs.. have you tried a different strategy like paying someone to write or revise your resume..we all know how important having a good resume that will catch attention of the recruiters.. it is costly kasi around 350 to 400 AUD .. pero comparing sa expenses of finding a job + stress level + time na alang work.. feeling ko sulit pa rin sya...

i'm not connected in any company that provides this service.. suggestion ko lang ito.. ito rin kasi yung nakukukuha kong suggestions sa mga articles at yung meetup na pinuntahan ko dati... ito rin yung gagawin ko para makalipat sa role na gusto ko....

Nagsubmit ka ba ng resume nung paglapag mo jan or nagstart ka na sa pinas plang?

You can do some research online to verify yung impact of having someone generate a resume for you.... In my opinion, it is worth the risk specially kung matagal na yung paghahanap ng work then ala pa rin positive result.

ethel_starr

@pangrom0529 thanks. i have some interviews, i hope that i can get one job. i will be 2 months this week since my arrival in Sydney.

Nagtry ako pero parang confidence booster lang nakuha ko at advice. pero baka dahil din sa kahit anung revise ng resume ko eh di ganun ka may dating kc d naman katindihan experience ku sa pinas unlike sa iba na may mailalatag na experience talaga. saka $80 lang binayad ko unlike sa cnasabi mu sir multitasking na mejo kamahalan, baka yan talaga swabe sa alright pag cla tumirada ng resume. mostly matutulungan ka cguro nyan lusutan ung mga mga naka ATS na hiring. Pero tama ung mga sabi dito revise talaga saka use words na halos pareho sa hnahanap nlang qualification. grabe yan hiring dito, dapat jan pagdating mo dito spend ka mga ilang linggo magbasa ng tips para malusutan mu hiring process nila unless may nagrefer sau sa loob. pero naniniwala ko darating at darating din talaga yan, pnapasabik lang tau. sa gumtree ako nakakuha ng work nung time na pnanghihinaan na ko sa seek kc puro computer generated email na lang narereceive ko

rencerencerence

treat nu na para lang kaung nagaaral ng human resource subject. yan gnawa ko, tas pag talagang no hope, online ng linkedin basa basa ng articles na tungkol sa mga applicant na magagaling pero di nakukuha kc nga kung cno ung swak ung resume sa job ads eh cla lang nakakapenetrate sa next stage ng hiring. sabi ng nanay ko nababaliw na daw ako noon kung anu anu daw iniisip ko. ewan ko, baka nga. pero di din malabong totoo ung nababasa ko kc grabe electronic rejection natatanggap ko non eh. may point ba ko? o paranoid lang ako noon? hahaha

@TasBurrfoot ang haba pla ng process at pricey! Kala ko pag ngpa assess ka at nkapasa CPA kna rin dito un pala u need to take again 6 exams! Would u know kung ganu khirap exam dito pareho din ba s pinas? I cant imagine n iexperience ulit ung dilema ng review and exam ng cpa board sa Pinas haha.

Anyone who has been it this path? Cpa s pinas tas ngtake din ng exam sa Aussie to be a cpa here also? Worth it ba, ang tagal p pala mas better ata to study via tafe or online university

@anneoz08

It is probably not too difficult but the reading materials are very thick; yung nga lang it is open notes... So the key there is to understand everything and make some notes on it. My wife is clocking around 90minutes per day to study. She is having fun naman so all good.

Maraming gumagawa nito mate... A designation of CPA in the Philippines is not heard of here in Australia so Pinoys have to take the exams for added recognition. You can still get a job without it but some opening requires CPA/CA's only to apply.

What do you mean mas better ata to study via TAFE or online? Study what?
