Thanks again sa checklist mo Ms. Era.
Since mahirap talaga makahanap ng work while offshore. Naisip namin ni partner na magipon talaga ng malaki2.. then pagka kuha ng grant, 1-2months BM na. Kung kaya nga ng 1month e. kaso marami padin aayusin talga like turnover sa office, mga mandatories, insurance, mortgages, etc.
Then, tapos pag-onshore na, dalawang jobs ang aapplyan namin, 1st yung entry level or any align sa occupations namin, 2nd yung survival jobs na kaya namin, kung ano mauna habang nagaadjust pa, palag na! Pero we will try our luck pa rin once may grant letter na, magsusubmit2 parin kami ng applications kahit offshore pa.
Any tips sa mga naka-BM na?
Tips? Laban lang. Pinaka simple na mabibigay ko. 😃
Pero seryoso, send lang nang send ng CV sa lahat ng prospects nyo. Try adding recruiters and employees of the companies that you like in LinkedIn. Pakilala kayo, show your credentials. Message them. Merong limit though ang InMail sa LinkedIn pag hindi ka Premium. So, kung may extra kayo, avail it, that could go a long way para mapansin ang profiles nyo. I cancelled mine after landing a job. 😃
Tailor your CVs to the simplest and most concise form --- highlight your achievements and hard skills (kung sa ICT, edi yung mga alam nyong tech stack. Kung eng'g naman, edi yung projects nyo), write your past job roles with clarity matching the job that you are eyeing for, and do not add a photo of yourself (please). Indicate nyo na rin yung visa nyo especially yung words na "Permanent Resident" (well applicable to PRs lang of course) para klaro at alam na agad na eligible kayo to work.
Pagdating naman sa interviews, just be yourself. You do you. Be confident, lalo't sarili mo naman credentials ang dala dala mo, but not to the point of overselling it. Medyo hindi rin maganda yun e. Dyan na papasok yung soft skills --- yan yung attitude, communication skills, how you carry yourself, vital statistics (chareng lang hahaha, but you get it), yada yada.
Maraming hindi papansin sa inyo, panigurado. Lalo't offshore pa nga. Minsan feeling ko allergic sila dyan, lalo pa dun sa mga walang visa. Pero babalik lang dun sa una kong tip, laban lang. Darating rin yan. 🙂
Lastly, may the odds be with you. Di ako madasalin, pero para sa mga oo, I'd advise you to pray for it, manifest it. Claim it. 🙂
