@RobertSG thanks!

@staycool usually agencies and they make a lot of money out of it. But meron rin naman mga direct hiring. Like yung sa akin, direct hire ako. Your best bet to avoid agents is to look at company websites and check out their available job postings.

If I may suggest po, mga peeps!

LinkedIn.

I was ignoring my LinkedIn account for so long. Akala ko wala namang maidudulot na tulong. Was I so wrong. May 3 ng headhunters nag email sakin from my linkedin account. Promising eh?

Try niyo din po, malay niyo may naghahanap ng qualifications niyo. So, yung LinkedIn account niyo, I suppose, should be informative enough, showing years of experience in the field.

Goodluck po sa lahat! 🙂

@psychoboy, sa applydirect.com din po kayo nag-apply??

@Nadine okay lang na ang experiences na ilalagay nyo is puro sa Pinas?

peeps, yung job interviews po ba need pa ng resume, curriculum vitae na ime-mail?...or puro online na po lahat ng applications?

paano po ma-qualify magwork sa government ng Australia?...yung tipong civil service eligibility natin dito...mas malaki ba pay nila sa gornment than sa private?

Nadine

Opo, lagay mo lang lahat @staycool. The most important aspect of online networking talaga is that your profile is out there.

May tinatawag po sila ditong "recency of practice". Tipong current ba ang experience mo sa nominated field mo. And ilang years ka working in that field. Kasi sa dami ng naghahanap work, mas kukuhanin yung updated experience po.

So, sulat mo lang lahat. The more work experience, the better. Preferably related. Pero wag mo na isali na valedictorian ka sa high school. Hehe. 😃

As to interview, mostly skype or phone. Lalo na overseas ka pa, tama?. I think what's most important is that kung ano yung sinulat mo sa CV mo ay mapapanindigan mo during the interview. That you have docs to back it up or may masasabi ka when asked.

@staycool - no i applied sa SEEK...

on your question re: <b>peeps, yung job interviews po ba need pa ng resume, curriculum vitae na ime-mail?...or puro online na po lahat ng applications?</b> - mejo naguguluhan ako sa mga sinasabi mo. when you are invited for a job interview, the interviewer will be needing your resume definitely. chances are, sila na mismo mag print ng resume mo. BUT just to be sure, you can ask if you need to bring them a hard copy yourself.

gov't job can be applied by anyone as long as they qualify the requirements... take note that MOST gov't openings can only be applied if you are a citizen.

Nadine

Actually, medyo naguhuluhan din ako re:government jobs. Like sa akin, I work in a public hospital which is funded by the government of queensland, ibig ba sabihin government employee ako?

Or govt jobs ba tipong Australian Tax Office, or Transportation Authority, etc....? Di ko rin gets. :-/

staycool

Nadine di ka nag-iisa...kse po dito sa Pinas, i work sa GOCC...kapag nasa Australia, as @psychoboy mentioned, as long as "qualified" ka pwede ka sa government magtrabaho...does that require us to take an exam (like dito sa Pinas dapat may civil service eligibility ka to work in the government)...sensya, di ko kse alam takbo ng work force jan sa australia yet eh...though I am intereseted sana government positions for security of tenure...ang question is, how can we be eligible??
