Hello po! Any advise how you explain to prospective employers/headhunters na you are waiting for visa grant if in case nagtanong ng rights to work? 🙂 thank you!
I would open by saying thanks > then talk about the role they reached out to you for (for example, interested ka ba, etc) > then explain your visa situation as it is > then, establish rapport to keep the door open once nag-big move ka na.
For explaining visa situation, no need to beat around the bush IMO. I just say I can't proceed kasi waiting for my visa grant and have not moved yet. Then I just make sure follow it up with an offer to reconnect in future kapag nasa Sydney na ako 😁 That's been fine in my experience so far.
I usually don't elaborate na sa visa situation, although may isang hiring manager na nag-ask when ko raw ba makukuha. I just gave an estimated range (parang kapag tinatanong ka lang sa salary mo hehe), tapos binigyan nya lang ako email ng recruiter na pwede ko ma-contact nun.
