how to get odd jobs in Melbourne?

paoako

Hi guys, I've been in mel for 2 months now pero unsuccessful pa in getting an IT job related to mainframe. I'm thinking of getting any odd jobs para sana hindi na mabawasan ang ipon. Any suggestions or referrals would be appreciated.

thanks!

mainframe din ako but targetting to move late this year or next year pa.. i have been reading and searching for what is the best way to land an odd job in australia and ang mga madalas kung makita and mabasa is by referral.. anybody here na puedeng mag refer sa mga new migrants?

@pmzinoz,

yes puro by referral din ang nababasa ko.. parang mahirap ata mag apply lng online kasi di ko mababago ang resume ko to satisfy the odd job requirements since wala ako experience doing those things.

if anyone knows someone working at a warehouse, factory, service related jobs.. hingi sana ako ng favor para magparefer. thx in advance!

Hello! Im in As400...may job na ako in my line pero naghanap din ako ng any job while waiting for the right opportunity. Nakakuha ako ng mga "any jobs" na yan ng walang referral. On my own 🙂

@paulie san ka naghanap ng mga odd jobs? also how long bago ka nakahanap ng as400 job?

ngayon ang ginawa ko plano is mag-avail sa free courses na inooffer ng govt. after ng training.

nakuha ko yung as400 job after 3 months. PERO application ko pa to nong nasa Singapore pa ako. So, bago ako umalis sa SG natapos na lahat ng interview and technical exams with the company. Unfortunately, sa last round with the HR sabi culturally unfit daw ako 🙁 So kinalimutan ko na ang job...Then pumunta na akong Adelaide nung March. By June contact ako ng agent at biglang hinahanap daw ako ng company. The rest is history 🙂

Sa any jobs naman, nakuha ko lahat yun within the same week na natanggap ko din yung AS400 job. sabay-sabay sila...cleaner, events staff, office coordinator + my AS400 lol! Sa indeed.com ako naghanap. Tinago ko yung IT skills ko hehehehhe....so ang laman lang ng resume eh kung ano yung hinahanap nila 🙂 Be ready din sa interview dahil nagtatanong sila sa experience mo dun sa "any job" na inaaplayan mo.

Nag-attend ako ng resume writing etc the Oz way...

One thing that can help you in getting a job in Melbourne (not familiar with other areas) is by applying through an agency like MANPOWER in Northcote and more....and a very effective one is by referral through friends....

may friend ako sa Mainframe na nasa Melbourne... almost a year na walang work.. nakakaabot sa last interview pero d na ha-hire... nakakatakot naman 🙁

solidjeff

@Khaosan_Road

Mahirap sa umpisa makahanap ng work related to your field lalo na pag hinahanapan ka ng local experience. Pero yon na nga paano ka maka local experience if di ka nila tatanggapin.......pero swerte swerte rin yan, sana swertihin ka......good luck

salamat pre! yep it's also a matter of luck. Single naman ako kaya walang umaasa. Yun lang sana may mahanap na jobs (perm or temp) bago maubos ang savings.

@solidjeff yep yep MF ako at mejo sawa na rin haha.

Hello everyone! Would just like to advertise my link here which has helped while I'm waiting for my student visa 572...http://startmonthlyjob.com/?id=misshope

Just join for free and advertise your link to get others to join as well 🙂 for every successful referral you get $10...you can withdraw your earnings through cheque once you've reached $300 or above 🙂 I would understand it if this is suspicious but I just gave it a chance and I was able to get my cheque after I earned $325 🙂

@paoako kamusta ang job hunt? sana nakahanap ka na ng job. Mukhang nakakakaba na nakakatakot pala esp sa new migrant. At tama pano nga makakakuha ng local exp. Risk rin talaga ang pag migrate.
