<blockquote rel="cchamyl">@TotoyOZresident totoo ba na it's not good to send your CV everywhere? ahahaha... i read from some discussions na it sends a bad vibe daw to a recruiter if you apply for all job postings relevant to you... or is this is just paranoid thoughts?</blockquote>
Kasi unahan ang mga recruiter na mag forward ng iyong CV sa client nila (employer) kapag qualified ka. Kaya they discourage sa mga applicants na mag padala ulit ng CV sa ibang recruiter kapag alam mo na halos kaparehas ng details ang job ads likes location and job discription. May iba kasi employer kumukuha ng isa o dalawang recruitment agency to fill in they needs minsan naman mag nag rerepresent na ibang recruitment agency dahil may nakuha sila na mas qualified sa hinahanap nila. I dont know how much ang bayad sa recruitment agency kapag nakuha ang ni refer nila na applicant.
For me the best is the more you have connections the better. I mean kung marami ka send na CV sa lahat ng recruiment agency the better. Dahil may record ka sa kanila at kung may opportunities madali nila makita ang pangalan mo yun ang mga tinatawag na head hunter. Maganda din lahat ng recruitment agency sa field mo i add mo sa linkedin. At as much as possible mga colleague mo add mo rin you never know baka refer ka nila kung may job oppening. Kung may alam ka naman na company website na pasok sa work mo visit their website at mag send ng cover letter at CV sa job section kahit wala o may oppening sa kanila tatanung ka lang naman eh malay mo natsamabahan mo bago nila i post sa job site.
For me here in Australia theres nothing wrong about asking your colleague to help you kung may job oppening. Dito naman ang mga employer open sila sa ganun sa referral lalo na kung magaling sa work ang nag refer sayo pero dadaan ka pa rin sa proseso. Kung newly migrant ka theres nothing wrong also to inform your previous company sa Pinas or abroad na may branch dito sa Australia. Inform to your previous boss or admin na your looking for work at magtatanung ka kung baka may alam sila na oppening sa australia branch kasi new migrant ka.
Thats my hint. Good luck and God bless. cheers
