@stolich18 yeah, ganun nga. Nauna n muna ako para hindi kalakihan gastos at may sweldo pa si misis. Mahirap na at may anak kmi. 2 months nka-plano ko dito, nung nag-verbal offer, ni-rebook ko n lng scoot flight ko, dagdag lng extra.

@LittleBoyBlue Congrats po 🙂 Ang galing naman..

LokiJr

Congrats po @LittleBoyBlue naka ilang applications po kayo bago niyo natanggap yang offer? 🙂 Hope they issue a written offer para sarado na hehe

LittleBoyBlue

@LokiJr yeah, dapat last Friday pa yung written offer, nagka-aberya lang yung HR nung company na based pa sa NZ. Hindi ko na mabilang kung nakailang applications ako, masisigurado ko sayo sobrang dami, kasi bago pako lumapag ng AU nag-apply nako eh.

Ang biggest learning ko eh tawagan yung recruiter pag ni-post nila number nila, then may chance ka mabenta kagad skills mo for about 10-30 seconds or so.

It took me 1.5 months to get a job that is "somewhat related but not entirely" to my profession. 1.6 years to get a job that is exactly relevant to my course.

Medyo may unting dillema ko ngayon, halos 2-3 months na ko naghahanap ng work dito sa Melb ngayon and now may 2 job ako na pinagpipilian. First job is sa company ko sa pinas(company a), medyo matagal lang ang process ng pagapprove so di pa sila makaoffer. Second is giving me a job offer and wanting me to decide asap or iwiwithdraw nila ang offer (company b).

So medyo di ko alam kung ano ang gagawin ko, do i take the job in company b while waiting for an offer from company a? or do i wait out for company A?

@hanzyboy - put it this way, more or less alan mo na culture sa company a ngunit di mo alam sweldo...

company b naman alam mo offer nila but culture di mo pa na experience personally - if you are happy already with the offer, king ako kunin ko na iyon. company a kasi is still drawing pa rin eh until you will get the actual offer.

i agree with @psychoboy. an offer versus promise/uncertainty, i would choose the former.I've been there before kasi kaya I know the feeling..but of course, the end if the day, ikaw pa rin makakatimbang ng lahat..basta follow what your heart & mind dictate.

This is a good problem!

What I would do is take company B! Yan na yan. Bakit mo pa papalagpasin?

sydneyblued

Company B deal! mas sure na yun eh!

@hanzyboy : pareho bang permanent positions yan?

pero for me, without considering the sweldo at kung permanent position or hinde....i'll take company B. done deal na yun e. yung company A kasi wala pang offer at baka mamya di pa matuloy. pero, if parehong may offer na, most probably i'll take A. hehe

hanzyboy

Salamat sa mga sagot guys. Just an update I took company A, after nag-offer ang company B i told them as a courtesy(since we worked before and such) na may mga offers na sa akin on the table so yun medyo pinush yun pagcreate ng position for me dito.

Kasi yun nga din naisip ko as nagsisimula pa lang dito medyo mas ok na din na at least alam ko na yun culture ng company and mas unti ang adjustment para sa akin.

Again thanks for the input guys! 😃
