Paraan sa paghanap ng trabaho

happyinmelbourne34

Hello @happyinmelbourne34!! Thanks so much for responding🙂 so you're currently staying in melbourne, right? Just making sure🙂 kase i was sponsored by victoria and im planning to stay and hopefully get a job in melbourne. I have relatives in adelaide but im not sure if i will allowed to stay there while looking for a job in victoria--just to minimize my accommodation expenses once i decide to go there in au and syempre kahit papano may makkunan ako ng moral support🙂. Would you know kung okay lang yun?

Im a civil engineer and ive worked mainly in the oil and gas industry. How about you? Mejo scary yung stats ng job losses jan ah. Pero if i decide to take the risk and go there without a job, what kind of odd jobs ang masasabeng pdeng "pantawid gutom" jan sa melbourne? And can you please give me some figures pagdating sa average monthly expenses jan? I heard maahal daw jan sa melbourne compared with other cities.</blockquote>

Sir, opo dto kami sa Melbourne. Industrial eng'r po ung background ko and working here as demand/inventory planner sa 1 automotive MNC.

Tingin ko allowed nman po kayo n mag-stay sa relatives nyo sa Adelaide but kung dto po kayo maghahananap ng work sa Melbourne medyo inconvenient since Adelaide is 12-16 hrs by drive or 1 hr by plane. Medyo magastos kung mag tra travel kayo interstate pero nag e entertain nman po cla ng interview thru skype. By experience po kc noon, na interview ko thru skype the company was based in Adelaide.

Isa pa po, oil & gas ung background nyo pero limited po ang oil and gas opportunities dto sa Victoria, mainly sa WA at Queensland madaming oil & gas companies. Pero since civil eng'r nman po kayo medyo OK nman po ung construction industry. Sabi sa news, the Victorian govt is planning massive infrastructure projects to build roads, expand ung mga rail links, plus rail from the city to Tullamarine airport and i-expand dn po ung airport so these projects would generate jobs.

Ung odd jobs po na available, like pizza delivery pero dapat may own transpo kayo, or tipong mga kitchen hand.

Monthly expenses, depende dn po...kung plano nyo po mag rent ng 2-bedroom flat depende sa location at sa built ng bahay but on the avg rent po ay 280-350/wk for 2 bedroom.

If wala kayong car, prepare $10-15/day sa transpo , then sa pagkain/groceries nman po 2 kami budget po nmin nasa 100-120/wk.

Hi everyone! Ang advice ko pala i-improve nyo ang speaking Australian English ninyo. Tingan nyo sa website ng public library may libreng speaking class sa kanila. Puede kayong umattend ng Saturday. Dito kasi sa Canberra ACT may libreng English class at IELTS review. Maaring mayrun din dun. Isipin nyo na para matuto ng english eh bumalik muna sa basic English. As I said before lunukin nyo muna ang pride ninyo. Kahit gaanu kayo kagaling sa Pinas kapag nagdecide kayo mag migrate sa ibang bansa talagang back to zero kayo. I would recommend na maganda pumunta dito mga ganitong month May to July. June kasi is end of financial year filing ng tax at usually maraming hiring kapag ganitong months. Very tight ngayun ang paghanap ng work dito dahil na rin sa nagbago ang Prime Minister at maraming na amend at humigpit ang batas especially ngayun Australia federal budget 2014. Syempre domino effect yan pero hindi naman ibig sabihin yan eh hindi kayo makakahanap ng work. tyempo tyempo lang yan pero habang naghihintay kayo syempre gumagawa din kayo ng paraan kung paano iimprove ang inyong sarili. As i said kapag medyo mababa ang confident level ninyo sa english speaking gawa kayo ng paraan para i improve nyo ito. Cheers..

<blockquote rel="Seraph">Hello @TotoyOZresident and sa lahat ng members ng forum🙂 maraming salamat sa very helpful info na ito TotoyOZresident. Would it be possible for u to send me a copy of the Australian resume format na nabanggit mo sa post mong ito. I'm not aware that there is a specific resume format in Au. I'm actually a newbie here but i have been granted a subclass 190 visa

Dec 2013. I've been sending applications online way before the visa grant, mainly thru seek.com, and have not received any positive feedback yet. A few friends told me na di maganda ang market jan specifically for engineering where my line of is in. Kaya hesitant akong magresign from my work here in singapore and I have until november of this yr to make my first entry in AU. Some friends advise me to not resign yet until im sure of a job then just have a 1 or 2-week vacation in Au sometime august or september bago mag holiday mood and mga aussies just to test the waters. My agent told me to go take the risk at pumunta jan sa au kahit walang trabahong sigurado. Sabe nya, makakahanap naman daw ako for sure--kahit temporarily e di in line sa trabaho ko. My agent also said that anong good ng visa mo kundi ka agad pupunta dito sa Australia. Hindi pa rin ako makadecide on what to do. Im afraid na maubos ko lang yung ipon ko para makipagsapalaran jan sa Au without a sure source of income. On the other hand, i really want to go there now and escape my very stressful working environment here in singapore. I hope you guys can give me so insights on this. Many thanks!!</blockquote>

Wow, maraming salamat sa balitang to. Pero please dont call me sir kase di ata bagay at babae ako. Hehe.. Good news nga saken na marameng infra projects na parating specially in VIC. May nareceive nga akong email from Engineers australia re that. Havent read it in detail though.

Pizza delivery. Hahay.. Havent got a driving license yet. Kelangan ko na pala kumuha nun sa pinas bago ako pumunta jan at mahirap daw kumuha jan ng license. When u say kitchen hand, do u mean assistant sa kusina ng cook?🙂 i actually have a tutorial job, cleaning job or staff sa fastfood in mind--would you happen to know of any?

Sabe pala nung friend ko, may mga free workshops/trainings daw jan na ino offer ang govt.

So for the accommodation, a budget of

200 per wk for a room will do, right? Ang mahal pala. So you're sharing a unit pala with somebody. Sabagay, mas makakamura ka pag may option kang magluto, right? Tas yung 100-120/wk na groceries sagana na or sakto lang na budget?

@Seraph

sorry po kala ko lalake kayo hehehe 🙂

Medyo dami ngang parating na infra projects pero wag kayo ma fr frustrate pag na re reject ung application nyo dahil sa local experience...naka 50+ yata ko na applications/rejections bago ko ntanggap dun sa 1st job ko 🙂

Ung mga staff po sa restaurants sa pagkaalam ko kelangan kuha ng RSA certificate pero dali lang nman daw tong kunin. Pero pansin ko lang dto ung mga staff s fast foods, normally mga teenager

If makakakuha ka ng driving license from Pinas or SG mas maganda para conversion n lang. Pero kung dto p kayo mag aaral medyo mahal ung driving lesson, 25-40AUD/hr plus dami pang magagastos sa mga pagkuha ng learner permit, exam, driving license ID.

Yup ung 200/wk maganda na room n yan at all-inclusive. Ung 1st na tinirhan nmin dto sa Melbourne 200/wk for a couple, inclusive ng PUB at internet, pag single person paupa nung landlord is 650/month. Yung 100-120/wk medyo sgana na at covered from breakfast-dinner. Gnagawa nmin para ma-extend ung budget at makamura ung groceries nmin sa Aldi kami nabili medyo mahal kc pag Woolies at Coles, then wet market ung gulay at isda/karne. Pag tipong mga 5-6PM n half price na ung presyo ng mga gulay at prutas.

@TotoyOZresident,

I just want to share this.

For most of us who are not really good in english and well in the use of the language and at some part, our confidence is really down, do not worry.

I have watched this one english lesson about speaking in english with confidence.

She told in her video that not everyone has confidence, accept it! But we can fake confidence!

She, being an english teacher, also told that most of the times she is only 45 per cent correct in english! And she is not afraid! So why should we?

She said that practise and make mistake is fine.

Talk to anyone even though they do not want to talk to you is also fine.

Just do not be afraid to talk even if it is wrong.

Sabi nya who cares daw!

Parang ganun ung sinabi nya, hehehe, pasensya na po nagpapraktis lang! Jijiji

question po re character/employment references. i read one post here na tinatawagan talaga ng oz employer ang references kahit na nasa phils sila. ganito ba talaga ang practice ng job application process sa oz?

also, im thinking kung hihingi ako ng job referral letter from my references or i will just give their contact details sa employers. hassle kase yung magccompose pa sila ng referral letter. thanks. 🙂

happyinmelbourne34

<blockquote rel="loudandclear">question po re character/employment references. i read one post here na tinatawagan talaga ng oz employer ang references kahit na nasa phils sila. ganito ba talaga ang practice ng job application process sa oz?

Yup, ganito tlaga ung practice nila dto. Dto sa current job ko, before ako na hire tlagang tnawagan nila ung ex-manager ko which is US-based pa pati na dn ung naging mngr ko fr Pinas.

Not necessarily na humingi k ng referral letter from them hindi nman po ito required. Name & contact details of those references are enough so they can call them to verify about info na bngay mo from your CV/application form and most importantly do a character check. Hehehe kwento ng mngr ko from US almost 20 mins daw ang conversation nila ng HR nmin and asked her a lot of things regarding my attitude towards work & colleagues, how well do I perform with regards to my job scope and responsibilities, etc, etc...

Even dto pag lipat k ng jobs they always do reference check, lagi ko naririnig sa phone ung manager ko giving a feedback about a former subordinate since bngay daw sya as a reference 🙂

happyinmelbourne34, so halimbawa Adelaide ang target mo applyan kasi South Au sponsored ka, but you're in Melbourne sa relative mo while applying sa Adelaide companies, after few weeks sa pag-apply wala pa offer from Adelaide. pwede ba magwork ka muna ng odd jobs sa Melbourne pampatawid lang muna? i-hire ka ba nila kahit alam nilang South Au sponsored ka?

happyinmelbourne34

@Islandercity, I think pwede nman as long as my tax number ka and sa tingin ko nman hindi mahigpit ang mga odd jobs regardless of kung anong klaseng visa ang hawak mo as long as your visa entitled you to legally work in Au.

@happyinmelbourne34 salamat po sa reply

Hello po,

This thread is very useful. We just had our "touch down" to activate our 190 class visa for me, my hubby and our daughter. Act po ang state na nagsponsor ng visa samin. Although we dont plan to move na agad, my hubby is it specialist-tech help support/supervisor at this time. Ask ko lang po when is the best time to go to act to look for job? Kasi balak namin mga aug 2015 na sya pumunta at pagnakakita sya saka na kaming pamilya susunod.. Marami na po bang mga job opportunities around aug? Kasi magsisimula na naman kami (we are here in sg) though naisip ko din na pwede na magstart sending application while we are in sg..any inputs are appreciated. Tsaka isa pa may mga ngpaparent ba ng room sa act? San po kaya kami makakacheck nito? Thank you so much po sa mgrereply.
