<blockquote rel="johnandjosh"><blockquote rel="bmc_cpu">Hi guys. Sa mga nakapaghanap ng trabaho before arriving in oz, ano po nilagay nyo na address at contact nos. sa resume/cv, yung overseas or local(australia)?</blockquote>

@bmc_cpu My resume had an Aussie address and contact info + email address. I also included my Visa Class. The employer rang the number (it was my friend's landline in Sydney) and he said he would inform me about the call. The employer also sent me an email asking if I want to be interviewed for the role. The rest is history.</blockquote>

The CV I lodged in Seek while I was still Manila had my friend’s Aussie address, my email address, and my Philippine mobile number. The recruiter emailed me and asked for the perfect time for a phone interview. This goes to show that recruiters are willing to do phone interviews while the candidate is away from Australia, given that they are bound to fly in soon anyway. I agree, it would be good to indicate visa number or better yet residency status in your CV, “Permanent Resident of Australia”. That would give the recruiters the assurance that you’re eligible to work here and would not require any sponsorship anymore. 

Hi @LokiJr - most big recruitment agencies naman that caters to office jobs do not usually ask for fees from the potential employee. It is either a one off fee from the employer (around one month worth of salary) or they receive a portion from what the employer pays the agency for the employee. 🙂

Hi @LokiJr! Walang fee involved at all 🙂 I got the job through Robert Walters (check their website). Bale fixed ang hourly rate ko, and sila ang sisingil sa employer. I knew for a fact that they charged my employer twice my hourly rate, but that did not bother me. Basta contented ako sa sweldo ko, ok na ako dun. 🙂 Marami pang ibang agencies - Abacus, Robert Half, Hays, Optimum Recruitment, Zelda Recruitment...halos lahat ata nakapagpa-interview ako on my first week here. Until recently, I still got calls from them for job opportunities, pero shempre I had to say No kasi ok na ok naman na ako sa current employer ko. Very thankful that my bosses fought tooth and nail to create a permanent position for me 🙂</blockquote>

@021607 congrats po sa trabaho. dun po sa recruitment agency na tinutukoy niyo flat fee po ba ang singil sa inyo or may percentage sila ng salary package niyo? <blockquote rel="psychoboy"><blockquote rel="LokiJr">@021607 salamat po sa info, anlaking bagay magagawa ng recruitment agency kung yun lang ang fee na hihingin nila hehe</blockquote>

Usually kasi may distinction ang 'recruitment agency' sa 'head hunter' pero mukhang wala na...anyway ang mahalaga naman e makakuha tayo ng trabaho dun haha 😃

021607

@LokiJr, that’s right. Halos lahat ng kilala ko dito via headhunter/recruitment agency nakakakuha ng work. Usually contract-type ang work sa una, then employer na ang bahala if gagawin nilang permanent or not. It all depends on the nature of the role. Madalas din yung 12-month contract to cover for a permanent employee going on maternity leave.

LokiJr

Diyan po ba sa Australia if you started out as a contractual worker, what's the likelihood of being a regular employee?

021607

90% of my accountant pinoy friends were made perm after serving their contract. Meron din iba na 2 yrs na here pero comtractor pa rin. Pero happy naman kasi ang important is may work na tuloy-tuloy. Pag di na-renew ang contract, mabilis makahanap ng new contract. Basta once nagka local experience na, dre-drecho na yun 🙂

LokiJr

@021607, wow that's good news at masigla ang job market dyan hehe

021607

@LokiJr, basta tiyaga-tiyaga lang sa paghanap ng work 🙂

Hi @021607 - are they really strict with CA or CPAA Qualifications? 🙂

021607

I heard that some companies are particular about titles, they don't take in non-cpas (in australia). But my employer (also the headhunter) acknowledged my Phil license. I think konti lang yung mga picky talaga. 🙂

Added good news ulit... 🙂

Salamat @021607

LokiJr

@021607 I'm guessing yung employer na bahala sa accreditation mo ng CPA? 😃
