Well actually, nung unang dating ko rito, ang unang pinuntahan namin was lunch sa ka-church ng pinsan ko. Puro Pinoy tsaka ibang mga Asians. May mga pinakilala sakin na Malaysian Chinese. I could not believe it - within three hours after landing in Australia, I was still conversing in Singlish! LOL

@cholle hahaha. by the way, when you're in Au, kailangan ba printed copies of resume, certificates of employment, academic records, etc? or softcopy lang lahat?

our experience is that non are needed... certificate of employments not needed, academic records as well...

for resume I always make it a point na magdala ng copy but in my 2 interviews so far, they were all prepared to print their own copy naman.

Yup, and if they ever ask for any other docs, you can tell them that you'll forward soft copies. But yeah usually they print out your résumé when you come for an interview.

How about references? Kailangan print out?

<blockquote rel="bookworm">How about references? Kailangan print out?</blockquote>

You can, pero ang practice dito tatawag ang agent or HR para hingin , you either email it or tell them over the phone, at normally pag nag ask ng reference ( at least 2 ) e 90% pasado ka na sa job interview

bookworm

good to know, thanks!

<blockquote rel="JCsantos"><blockquote rel="bookworm">How about references? Kailangan print out?</blockquote>

Pasok ako sa 10% dito - may inapplyan ako, halos finish line na, humingi na ng references, sabay sa ibang candidate nag-offer huhu. Para akong na-basted nun haha

thanks both...

so resume/CV lang...

mag-start na akong magtapon ng mga hardcopies ko dito. hehehe

bookworm

still better to have them 🙂 don't throw them away.

In my opinion, documents are things you can always bring with you, especially since malayo ang pinas, at hindi na basta basta makakauwi to get more documents 🙂

For resume i usually bring my hard copy not for the interviewer but for my own copy. Ok din makasunod kasi sa dami minsan di ko na alam details ng resume ko at key dates haha

IslanderndCity

@bookworm I mean photocopies ng mga documents ko po. medyo madami na.

@vhoythoy thanks. tama po.

Hi po,

This question is specifically for ladies pero pwede din sumagot ang guys if may idea kayo. In terms of office attire, napansin ko lang, super corporate wear ang mga tao dito sa Sydney. Ibang iba sa attire sa Singapore na parang magpaparty lang! hehe..

Ano po ba do's and dont's sa attire and how did you manage na bumuo uli ng wardrobe e sobrang mahal ng mga damit dito!

JCsantos

yung mga agent mas prefer nila yung format nila,

Every company has its set of rules in regards to uniform, you can ask this on your interview ..

Yung previous work ko women are not allowed to wear high heeled shoes for safety concerns

bookworm

ack, concern ko din yan, kaya pag merong nakikita, bili pag mura. I've gotten used to wearing jeans at work so I have to start from scratch sa pagbuo ng work wardrobe.

vhoythoy

Malamang depende sa Company. Ung sa dati ko nman firm dito sa Singapore bawal talga walang necktie and laging presentable kasi client facing. May Ilang beses din ako nasita ng senior partner naming caucasian. Mas maluwag pa nga kapag fieldwork hehe. Dito sa bagong Company ko namn wala masyado pakialam sa suot mo.

Ako plan ko before umalis ng Singapore is i dispose lahat ng long sleeves/ pants ko kasi gamit na and buy office clothes here in Sg and shoes. Lalo na ngaun daming sale kaliwat kanan. Favorite ko G2000 here, and kapag sa pinas naman wallstreet. Shopping in Melbourne is good, but i think more choices, cheaper and better to shop in Pinas/ Singapore.

TasBurrfoot

<blockquote rel="vhoythoy">better to shop in Pinas</blockquote>

Ehehehe, parang I don't agree here... 🙂
