during actual (face-to-face) interviews, do you need to come in business suit attire ba? or smart casual will do? thanks!

Ren

@cind3r3lla

Smart casual will do, but depending on the position.

Don't worry its very different here I heard some local went to interview wearing shorts.

Sometimes, the recruiter will advise you what to wear sa face-to-face interview with their client. and some will give you tips and possible questions their client would ask during the interview..also,visit the company website..learn kung ano ung line of business. better be prepared..

Hi @Okim, long time no see here in pinoy au. 🙂

musta ang stay nyo dyan sa Australia? saka mabilis ka lang nakahanap ng work? share nman some more tips 🙂

@peach17 Hirap din mag-adjust..wala pang work and family ko dito..niluluto pa lang ung job na para sa akin hehehe..lately lang din naging busy attending interviews..almost everyday nag-aapply hindi lang thru seek, pati direct mismo sa company website.. I'm sure alam mo na yun..

review your resume and try using power words, if afford, use professional services.

When interview na, basta be confident lang, very particular sila sa communication skills and team fit. prepare 5-7 stories na workrelated for the behavioural questions.

Since we are on the topic regarding interview questions, I find this website helpful.

"power words" meaning yung mga "deep" and mahihirap na words? kumbaga sa tao e merong sex appeal...

"professional services"??...may bayad po ba to? Yes

Tip po sa akin nung isang agent: "Always dress to impress", meaning kung merong lang suit gun isuot mo.

Even for lower level jobs, sabi nung facilitator sa isang training where I attended, sabi nya naghanap sya ng warehouse personnel, madaming applicant, pero merong isa na naka suit - yun na pinili nya, kasi parepareho naman either konti o wala experience.

hi all,

SA sponsored po ako. Pero I'm thinking mag initial entry via Sydney po at mag stay muna sa bahay nang pinsan ko para tipid sa accomodation while applying for jobs.

Papansinin kaya nang mga SA prospective employers or headhunters ang application ko kahit na I'm in Sydney physically for time being? Anong chances kaya of getting an employment in SA? Any input? ty

Yes mga 70% chance, just include in your cover letter that you are bound to SA

@JCsantos hi, Thanks po. I'm still contemplating, baka one month of staying in sydney while applying jobs for SA. Then if wala talaga tsaka lumipad to Adelaide.

Sana swertehin agad. Goodluck sa mga jobhunters!

Sa mga nagaapply na na wala pa sa Aus, sinasabi nyo ba kung PR status kayo tsaka may mga pumapansin ba kung halimbawa eh months ka pa before dumating sa Aus? Gusto ko sana mag try before dumating dyan para atleast sa first week mo pa lang makasched ka ng face to face interview kung susuwertehin.
