Hi. I'm an offshore nurse currently registered with Aphra and waiting for my PR visa.
Mas maganda po bang mag engage ako ng isang nursing agency para makahanap ng employer or magtry na mag apply direct sa hospitals?
Thank you.
Hi. Do you mean nursing agencies here in Aus?
Both have their pros and cons.
Applying directly to hospitals can be better for you coz you engage with the hospital firsthand. You just have to work harder on your application lang kasi from start til finish you do it yourself.
If you go through an agency to find employment, they can give you a list of work opportunities. They can also help with the application process, like how to arrange your cover letter/resume, or prepare you for the possible questions the interviewer may ask. The downside is that the list may be limited, maybe your skillset won't be suitable to the job offers, and you may have difficulty adjusting to the new workplace, or if you do not like the city that you will be living in, then you would try and move out of your place ASAP.
For me, it wouldn't matter. As long as you start working here. But try doing it yourself first. 🙂
