Thats so true! Experience lang din tlg ang labanan dto and if u know someone from inside..this is a true story from a close friend of mine..he doesnt have any clue about medical terminologies and he thought na hindi sya ma-hihire kasi he doesnt even know kung tama ba ung mga isinagot nya sa interview but still na-hire sya and eventually na-permanent sya after 3 months coz of that one senior employee sa central specimen reception area pa huh sa isa sa pinakamalaking hospital dto sa Sydney which is super duper busy everyday...when it comes to public hospitals, competitive ng mga applicant..and this is another true story from one of my friends and from my own experience as well, ung ibang manager kasi may kanya kanya silang preference na lahi, samin much prefer ng manager namin ang mga Indians kya 60% samin ay indians and 40% mix of chinese,aussie,filipinos etc..then I know an area manager na Pinoy sya of course much prefer nya ang mga pinoys..mga ganong eklavu..minsan swertihan lang din tlg na samahan ng pagkabibo and gilas..basta never loose hope 😃
I've been to a lot of interviews narin, akala ko pasado pero hindi pla...not to discourage anybody here pero majority satin dadaan tlg sa sandamakmak na interview bago natin makuha ung gusto at kelangan tlg natin na work..sa una nkkfrustrate pero at the end of the day ssbhin mo sa sarili mo na at least ngtry ka and ipunin nyo lahat ng natutunan nyo sa interview pra sa next interview nyo alam nyo na what to expect. ;-)
Eto din napansin ko dto..karamihan ng ngwwork sa lab wlang formal education dto like us mga MT sa pinas at certificate ang meron sila, pero pag madami na silang experience much higher ung chance nila na ma-hire kesa sa mga immigrants na katulad natin pero depende nrin tlg xgro sa state or location..someone even suggested to me to apply and start first sa mga specimen reception area ng mga maliliit na laboratory before applying sa mga big hospitals.
Suggestion ko lang din, if ur willing and gusto nyo lang..start from the bottom ng laboratory dito like phlebo, reception etc just to put ur foot in the door and work ur way up unti-unti.
Eto po ay story ko lang at based sa mga naexperience ko at mga naexperience ng mga kaibigan at kawork ko..but this doesnt mean na applicable din to sa inyo..this is just an idea of what to expect from this side of Sydney lol! Anyway basta never loose hope and try lang ng try, never give up! 🙂>- :-bd :x
