Not entirely ACS related, pero choosy ba yung mga employers if wala ka pang experience locally?
May kakilala/alam ba kau dun na software engineer na kahit 10+ years of experience nah, pero nahihirapan mag hanap ng work dahil prefer ng employer ay yung may experience na locally? Or hindi naman bearing yun? Or am I just overthinking? Makakatulong kya na ilagay yung ACS # sa CV? 😃
Share ko lang experience ko baka makatulong.
Last June 2023 we arrived here in Melbourne as student visa, yung partner ko yung student so may full working rights ako. I have 7 years exp as network engineer. I was unemployed for four months, multiple rejections even sa mga odd jobs. Nakaka-abot ako ng final interview pero in the end iba ang pinipili nila and generic lang lagi ang reason nila na mas fit yung ibang candidate. Worst experience ko is tanggap na ko sa role pero after few days, na hold yung role at hindi na ko nabigyan ng offer. Yung ibang company ang hanap nila is PR kasi ang industry is security/defence that requires security clearance which only PR/citizen can get it. I cannot say if they prefer may local experience since nakakaabot naman ako sa technical interview pero baka factor yun kaya hindi ako nakukuha after ng final interview. After 4 months of job hunting, natanggap ako sa Woolies(grocery) part time kung saan di ko inayos yung interview lol..Then few weeks later, natanggap na ko as contractor sa same company ko sa pinas, gusto nila ko since galing na ko sa same company, pero yung role is L1 tech support. Lakasan lang ang loob talaga, maraming depressing and heartbreaking moments, yung feeling namin wala na kami pambayad ng rent at groceries, pero kapit lang. 🙂
