How long did it take you to get a job?

@orengoreng super nakaka-relate ako. I don't wanna sound nega pero minsan napapaisip na ako minsan umuwi ng Pinas, maghanap ng trabaho at umapply na lang uli abroad kapag may pagkakataon. Halos kadarating ko pa lang naman ng Oz pero ang konti talaga ng opening para sa trabaho ko, napaka-specific pa ng requirements nila kelangan super sakto experience mo. Kahit odd jobs nga like sa supermarket need ng experience.

@orengoreng , thanks for sharing your experiences. It helps to prepare our selves psychologically and emotionally for the big move. Sir, if you won't mind, ano po line of experience nyo, at saang state po kayo?

Salamat po and God bless.

@Megger Sydney ako, Java Programmer nid talaga yun job ads sakto doon sa skill qualification mo ganun dito. Be prepare emotionally, mentally and financially lalo na kung Sydney the most expensive city. This is not to scare you pero iba iba naman tayo ng kapalaran, if I were you dont resign right away if you can take a leave for months and try to apply to see if theres a job for you mas safe side yun. unlike yun iba including me hopeful na marami work dito but some took 6 months or even a year bago nakahanap ng work. best of luck on your plan.

@orengoreng , salamat. Kailan ka nag big move Bro? God bless sa job hunting.

@orengoreng at @chelle, yup!! Dpat talaga tibayan ng loob and we shud be prepared financially, emotionally and psychologically dhil ilang ulit kami nag argue ng wife ko kng bakit ba pumunta pa kami dto in exchange sa life nmin sa pinas.. pero, we lived thru it.. after perseverance and prayers, nkahanap den ng work ang wife ko after 4 months and I am going start on monday after 5 months. So, dont lose hope guys.. we can get through all these..

@manolo1978 congrats buti ka pa. Try and try lang muna until maubos ang baon pag wala na have to go home muna and think.

It took me 6 weeks & lots of rejections. Apply lang everyday sa seek, pray, don't lose hope. Think positive. Got my first interview and got hired.

Hello po, general question po about job hiring. Paano po ba ang process?

Example po, dito sa SG kapag na interview ka and okay ka na sa employer they will apply an S-Pass for you which serves as your working visa and kapag approved na sya by SG Ministry of Manpower, pwede ka na mag start ng work.

Sa Australia po ba ganon din?

chelle

@chen Congrats.

Mas madali sa au kung may working rights ka like PR ka or holder ng provisional visa. if hired namn from overseas, iaaply ka muna ng visa ng employer mo before you can start work.

Nakakuha po ako ng work habang nasa labas ng australia. Nagskype interview kame ng employer ko. Sabi saken big points daw ung answers ko sa interview and character references kaya kahit wala pa kong experience dto at wala sa australia e navalidate nila skills and experience ko.

Pero sa tingin ko nga po depende sa industry. Hndi po ako nag apply thru seek. Sa recruitment online website po ako nag apply dahil un ang field ko. So i guess kung meron pong website where they advertise jobs specifically intended for your industry e go that route po.

@chelle thanks

Share ko lang experience ko.

I have arrived in Australia last year March 2016. Found my first job (Part Time Permanent) in Goodyear & Dunlop after 2 months after arrival. Left this company after 2 months because I was not happy (stressful work). I have applied when I was with them and finally found better company. Transferred to new company after a week (2nd job - Full Time Permanent) and worked there for 7 months. I was confirmed (permanent), and happy with my boss, and not looking for new prospects pero may nag offer na Multi National Engineering company - they head hunted me and offered me a better paying job/role (full time permanent role). Now I am here working with them for about nearly 3 months. 🙂 So, I had 3 companies in 1 year. Lol!

Kahit part time lang ang job, accept nyo na kasi job parin naman and you are gaining local experience din naman. Then if di ka talaga happy, apply nalang ulet sa iba...Maging masipag sa pag apply. Maybe I was just lucky na marami nagbukas sakin na company last year and this year.

All the best sa mga nag aapply. 🙂 Walang impossible basta masipag mag apply and dapat lagi may kasamang prayers.
