@eronpol ... finding work here is Australia is on a case to case basis.. may mga taong nakakakuha agad ng job and meron din naman na medyo may challenge...

sa mga naghahanap pa ng job.. don't lose hope.. darating din yung para sa inyo...

@bevelled as I have said tigilan na muna pag aaply online. in reality wala naman tatanggi sa inyo as cleaner dito.

@batang_tondo, wow, this looks great. I have to stay in ACT though. I wonder if they will have this there. Though am only interested in the Skillmax Jobseeker course. I think it may help a lot.

<blockquote rel="eronpol">Guys eto naman problem ko ngayon hindi na ako nag aapply pero may nanliligaw na company saken nung nalaman nya na andito na ko ngayon. Kya tuloy ngayon stress na stress na ko kakaisip kung lilipat pa ako kasi mas maganda offer pero nahihiya naman ako sa company na unang kumuha saken dito sa oz. Kaya talagang proven hindi mahirap maghanap work dito as in!</blockquote>

well sabi nga nila ang swerte ni Juan ay hindi pareho ng swerte ni Pedro. You are very lucky na napaka rare ata ng skillset mo at pinag aagawan ka. Unfortunately most of us here find it really challenging to land a job. medyo obvious naman kasi majority (not all) inaabot ng 1-3 mos bago makahanap ng job. so, again yung paghahanap ng work dito is really case to case basis. i just want to make that clear.

also, kahit cleaner job mahirap dito sa Perth.

Anyway back to the TOPIC: took me almost 6 weeks to land a job. hindi ko na mabilang ang application ko at pumatos na din ako ng unpaid internship prior to that. ang habol ko lang hindi ma-drain yung savings ko kaya sabi ko pagpatak ng maka one month ako at wala pa din sukdulang magwalk-in ako as kitchen help, cleaner or whatever. i cannot just sit inside my room while watching my savings for years going down the drain. then answered prayer and big blessing happened and was able to land a job by REFERRAL. I think dito sa Perth malaking bagay talaga na mairefer ka. Ni-hindi nga naka advertise yung job na nakuha ko. It is not exactly what I was looking for but still related naman and office work siya. So, it will do for now. So, here's my 2cents for jobhunters in WA (i'm speaking only about WA as i am not sure about the situation in other states) socialize - wag magkulang lang sa kwarto at humarap sa laptop magdamag. importanteng importante ang pakikipag socialize sa mga ibang tao na matagal na dito. meet new friends and explore at mas malaki talaga ang impact ng referral dito. wag mawawalan ng pag-asa and keep on praying he will always provide what we need. :) all the best sa lahat and God Bless. :)

@rencerencerence may advantage ka na kase dito ka nakapag-aral. Nakita ko yung MYOB software na ginagamit sa Government agency dito sa NSW kaya wag ka masyado magworry. ;-) May mga specialised systems kase dito sa Australia eh, tulad nyang MYOB and ICMS. normally dito rin yan dinevelop.

question hindi ko alam kung may nagtry na nang ganitong senaryo, may visa kana then nasa either country of residence ka at the moment tapos dun ka naghahanap nang work mahihire kaba at yun ba ang mas praktikal gawin?

kesa pumunta nang AUS agad kahit may visa tapos apply nang work inside.

salamat pakirephrase nalang kung may mali haha

After 2 months and 7 days!

Sa wakas may naglakas loob ding nagsabi sakin na ako ang napili nila for the position!!!

Non-engineering position pero okay na din!

Magiging taga-handa ng sandwich at cleaner sa 1 hospital.

Partida, during interview, ni hindi man lang ako tinanong.

Tinignan lang ako mula ulo hanggang paa, inikot sa buong hospital.

Then un na!

I think, kahit gaano ka pa kagaling, luck, faith in God at patience lang tlga ang susi d2.

This time, hnd muna ako mangangarap maging engr d2 sa australia.

dahil it would be unfair sa mga puti na basta basta na lang tau kukuha ng trabaho na para sa kanila lang!!!

we hav to know our place 1st.

like them, work for it too...

and to earn our place in their society.

🙂

@lester_lugtu hi, if u don't mind, where are u based? btw, pano po ba mag apply bilang cleaner? we have to customize our CVs? tsaka pag walang experience, papano? medyo kabado lang hehe lapit na alis ko this 25th na.

Congrats @lester_lugtu.

Happy for you sir. Although, I kindly disagree with some of your points.

"dahil it would be unfair sa mga puti na basta basta na lang tau kukuha ng trabaho na para sa kanila lang!"

I don't think there is anything unfair if we get a job as long as we are qualified, and we can do it right. Hindi rin ako naniniwala na may trabaho na para sa mga puti lang.

"This time, hnd muna ako mangangarap maging engr d2 sa australia."

Each man to his own. But in my humble opinion, you should aim for nothing less than your dreams.

Sa experience ko lahat pantay pantay lang dito sa Australia, and thats the beauty of this country.

Again, just my 2 cents lang po.

Congrats @lester@lugtu

Naka 3-days n ko s work ko,...here is my experience

Good thing - super bait ng mga katrabaho ko as in pati yung visor ko superb,..

    - ganda ng opis, pwede k mgbreak anytime, walang time in and time out pala dito,..flexi yung time

Not so good - nosebleed ako 🙂 mauubusan n ata ako ng baon n english, tpos yung ngttrain p s akin e originally from scotland, super bilis mgsalita. Pag work related naiintindihan ko pero pag ngkkwentuhan n sila n tipong medyo mahina, wala n ko maintindihan,hahahha

One more thing hirap mgdrive pero no choice ako kasi mapapalayo ako pg ngtrain ako,..although ang babait ng mga drivers dito wLa Ko masabi,..nkakalito lang ang daan kasi baligtad, tpos manual p kotse ko,hahhaha

Hopefully matutunan ko agad yung work ko, feeling ko mgeenjoy ako s new environment, new learning and new experience! Wow, Hello Australia!
