    Tips:

    - Wag mapili sa trabaho. Nung dumating kasi ako dito, ang ina-applyan ko lang ay yung permanent positions. Hindi pala uso un dito. Karamihan sa work ay casual, contractual, part-time or temporary lang - lalong lalo na sa IT. Pero ganunpaman, nagbunga ang pagiging pihikan ko sa trabaho hehe. Ang tagal nga lang ng paghihintay.

    - Maraming jobs na hindi posted sa career websites like Seek or CareerOne. It's nice to check the YellowPages for list of companies, and LinkedIn to find for their HR/ Managers then send your application directly to them. OR build your network of friends. Don't limit it to fellow Filipinos. Include your neighbors, local store owners, police, barbers, churchmates, etc. Sila man ay pwedeng mapagtanungan kung may alam silang job opening na pwede mong apply-an. The job I got was not at all posted in any websites. I just happen to see the name of the company in YellowPages and the manager in LinkedIn. Nagsend ako ng email application. Nakalipas ang ilang linggo/buwan, ayun, tinawagan ako for interview. Nagustuhan naman nila ako, then job offer na.

    - Akala ko nung una, discriminatory mga Aussies. Tipong, baka hindi nila ako hina-hire dahil wala akong local experience, although meron talagang job ads na nagsasabing dapat may prior local experience ka to be considered. Pero hindi naman pala. Mula sa dami ng interviews ko, I learned that they really are just looking for that perfect fit. So it is very important that you give them answers that suits their needs as well as their organization. So, bago ang interview, review the job ad, check the company's website, then prepare for answers to possible questions.

    I've learned this from a recruiter friend, what they meant with local experience is when they need someone who could blend in the team, yung tipong marunong kang makipag interact and converse with aussies, and if u can understand their slang/expressions..so if u dn't have local experience but u have the xperience interacting with local Australians, state that in ur CV and surely u will pass this category

    @gmad06 Ah so I need to put such experience sa resume kahit unrelated sa job na inaapplyan ko (like pagandahin na lang siguro para magmukhang may kinalaman pa rin sa experience). My job hunting experience kasi is that recruiters (plural) asked me upfront if I have local experience. I said yes I'm into trades. He said na naghahanap daw sya ng may local experience sa field na inaapplyan ko which I dont have as of the moment. Gusto ko nga pumasok so that I can prove myself. My field is Pharma and Food (either Laboratory or Production coz I have experience on both). Masubukan nga to. Thanks again. Sana may nagtatrabaho sa Pharma or Food company sa forums natin.

    I remember my cousin before, sa Canada nga lang. They kept asking him that question. Finally, one time he said, I will work for you for a month without payment. If you like my performance, hire me. If you don't, then that is my loss. They hired him :)

    boss, yan din balak kong pang-counter pag tinanong ako ng ganyan e. wala pa ako sa Au iniisip ko na kung ano mga dapat kong gawin para lang makapasok.hehe

    isa pa nga sa balak ko is mag-volunteer magtrabaho sa isang kumpanya tapos ang kapalit lang ay bigyan nila ako ng certification para magamit ko as proof na may local experience na ako. ang maganda naman dito, baka sakaling magustuhan nila ako e i-hire na nila ako (wish ko lang \:D/).

    @gmad06 Ah so I need to put such experience sa resume kahit unrelated sa job na inaapplyan ko (like pagandahin na lang siguro para magmukhang may kinalaman pa rin sa experience). My job hunting experience kasi is that recruiters (plural) asked me upfront if I have local experience. I said yes I'm into trades. He said na naghahanap daw sya ng may local experience sa field na inaapplyan ko which I dont have as of the moment. Gusto ko nga pumasok so that I can prove myself. My field is Pharma and Food (either Laboratory or Production coz I have experience on both). Masubukan nga to. Thanks again. Sana may nagtatrabaho sa Pharma or Food company sa forums natin.
    @enxym yup there are cases din talaga na essential yung local experience na related sa field mo, have you asked them specifically kung bakit need nila yung local experience sa position? if u haven't, don't be afraid next time to ask them..they are pretty ok with that.

    if u have a temporary job but then feel mo parang hindi siya bagay banggitin sa CV mo. u could mention that in ur coverletter instead. this will be your soft skills.

    all the best kabayan.

    Tips:

    - Wag mapili sa trabaho. Nung dumating kasi ako dito, ang ina-applyan ko lang ay yung permanent positions. Hindi pala uso un dito. Karamihan sa work ay casual, contractual, part-time or temporary lang - lalong lalo na sa IT. Pero ganunpaman, nagbunga ang pagiging pihikan ko sa trabaho hehe. Ang tagal nga lang ng paghihintay.

    - Maraming jobs na hindi posted sa career websites like Seek or CareerOne. It's nice to check the YellowPages for list of companies, and LinkedIn to find for their HR/ Managers then send your application directly to them. OR build your network of friends. Don't limit it to fellow Filipinos. Include your neighbors, local store owners, police, barbers, churchmates, etc. Sila man ay pwedeng mapagtanungan kung may alam silang job opening na pwede mong apply-an. The job I got was not at all posted in any websites. I just happen to see the name of the company in YellowPages and the manager in LinkedIn. Nagsend ako ng email application. Nakalipas ang ilang linggo/buwan, ayun, tinawagan ako for interview. Nagustuhan naman nila ako, then job offer na.

    - Akala ko nung una, discriminatory mga Aussies. Tipong, baka hindi nila ako hina-hire dahil wala akong local experience, although meron talagang job ads na nagsasabing dapat may prior local experience ka to be considered. Pero hindi naman pala. Mula sa dami ng interviews ko, I learned that they really are just looking for that perfect fit. So it is very important that you give them answers that suits their needs as well as their organization. So, bago ang interview, review the job ad, check the company's website, then prepare for answers to possible questions.
    Well done. Make sense and fair enough :D

    After 3 months and 3 weeks, may trabaho na ako!!! Woohoo! Thank you Lord!

    Not casual.
    Not contractual.
    Not Part-time.
    Not temporary.

    Rather, permanent role pa! Woohoo! Salamat po talaga sa Dios!

    Mag start na akong mag work on Tuesday, Public Holiday kasi sa Monday. ^_^
    Ngayon focus ka naman kung paano ka mapapabilis umangat sa Work mo at paano mo ma improve ang skills mo para tumaas sahod mo. Una pagaralan mo mabuti ang sistema nila at paano sila magtrabaho. Pangalawa paano mo sila mapapa oo para bigyan ka ng mga hint sa inyong trabaho at para ma improve mo ito. Pangatlo anu anu ang mga dapat mong gawin o kunin para marecognize ang skills mo lalo. Kung may mga organization na dapat na kunin or any short course. Karagdagan pagaralan mo ang kultura nila at ugali nila for example kapag niyaya ka ba nila magkape. Anu makukuha mo kung sakali magkakape kayo. Karagdagan hint kailangan hwag kang tahimik o trabaho lang ng trabaho kailangan makipag communicate ka rin sa kanila. Tungkol naman kapag may gusto ka malaman i voice out mo ito. HIndi ka nilala lalapitan para tulungan ka nila o mag kusa. Kung gusto mo matuto lapitan mo at magtanung ka sa kanila. Basta do your self research anu yung mga dapat at hindi dapat gawin. God bless...
