@Pixiepie medyo mahirap in general ang manufacturing kasi konti lang ang companies tapos madami na din bagong graduates. I know you're trying to be in leadership team but maybe you can try other position just to earn experience. Goodluck!

@Pixiepie i did the same... didn't apply for senior roles simply because gusto ko din magrelax and spend more family time. 3months din bago ako nakakuha ng work but si misis e mabilis kaya chill chill lang.
i think sa mga retail, mas malaki chance mo matanggap kung meron kang kakilala.
good to consider other options like studying... naisip ko din yan til now para meron other options. well, don't lose hope and enjoy AU.

Hi guys, I just want to share my experience.
My partner and I recently migrated in Australia last May. My profession is a network engineer and my partner's family has a house in Melbourne, so I decided to only apply in that area of course. I had no callbacks for weeks. Then I thought maybe Melbourne is not for us for now and it may not be the best idea to focus there and wait for something to happen. Then I applied to all states. I wouldn't care how far, as long as the compensation is enough to support the rent and daily commodities, and as long as I get to enter the Australian workforce soon enough. And just recently I received a callback from Perth, and it is highly likely that I may get an offer from them.
It seems to me that some people that have difficulties getting a job are focusing on a single state, near family and friends with free accommodation. Well my advise is to get out of your comfort state.
Recruiters are usually the go to as they will find the jobs for you, some of which that are not being advertised. Beef up your resume - I used different addresses per state. I told them I am fine with relocating and I have relatives there even if I don't. If I am not in the Perth for example for the face interview, I told them I am on a holiday. If you are fortunate, the recruiter will help you set up a WebEx interview with the employer. And if you get that interview, prepare for it, research the company, then nail it.
Well at least that's how I get lucky with my application. And I wish you guys all the same. You might be surprised where life is going to take you.

Tama yung sinasabi ng karamihan dito, at yun din ang sinusunod ko dati.
1) Make your CV tailor-made to the job ad itself. Yung mga keywords nung job ad, irephrase nyo at isingit nyo sa bullets ng mga job experiences nyo. Yung mga skills & required experiences na nakasulat, ilagay nyo din sa Skills nyo. Specially yung mga alam nyo namang soft skills lang (Team player, works well under pressure, detail-oriented, customer centric, etc etc)
2) Kung yung ibang company job experience nyo ay hindi naman na related sa linya ng trabahong inaapplyan nyo, wag nyo na ilagay kasi pampasikip lang yun. Hindi ako naniniwala sa make your CV maximum of 2 pages. Hindi applicable yun lalo na kung ilang taon na kayo nag ttrabaho at ilang kumpanya na din yung napag daanan nyo, pero at least make it as short as possible, all related details are there, andun yung ang hinahanap nilang mga detalye sa #1, tapos dagdag na lang yung mga personal duties and responsibilities nyo. Mine was 4 pages pero sobrang trinim ko na yun (i think).
3) CL (Cover Letter) - parang essay writing to, pero sobrang laking advantage nito. Mahilig sila mag basa ng istorya Make it about your professional experiences BUT related to the job ad pa din. Tipong ikwento nyo na ginamit mo itong technology na to sa company A, sanay akong mag trabaho sa team environment kasi part of a team ako nung nasa company B ako, etc etc.
4) sa CV nyo, sa Education part, ilagay nyo sa ilalim nung degree nyo, parenthesis or asterisk or whatever: "assessed by ACS as comparable to an AQF Bachelor Degree with a major in XYZ" Kung ano yung resulta nung asessment nyo (in my case, ACS). This way, you can proudly show to the employer that you are legit, like, "look, I come from a different country but I can assure you that my credentials are comparable to what you also have here."
5) In my opinion, pinaka importante...References. Ilagay nyo yung tao na talagang makakapag vouch para sa inyo. Sobrang importante nito kasi talagang yung mga naging interviews ko, tinawagan talaga nila yung Referees ko. Minemessage ako nung dati kong kawork na "uy may tumawag sakin ah. Tinatanong daw kung kumusta ka daw katrabaho". Hindi kelangang super taas na katungkulan sa kumpanya nyo dati, basta yung alam nyong maganda ang masasabi tungkol sa inyo. Kuntsabahin nyo na lang hehehe. Dalawa yung Referees ko. Yung isa andito na sa Au, walang problema sinasagot nya lahat ng tumatawag sa kanya tungkol sa akin. Yung pangalawa, inamin nya sakin na may mga tumatawag daw na Australia number kaso hindi nya nasasagot tapos di nya tinatawagan ulit kasi overseas (sayang load nya siguro, or busy lang talaga. nasa SG kasi sya). Yung nakuha kong trabaho, yung pag contact nung HR ay via email, so nareplyan ng both Referees ko. Pakiramdam ko lang, kaya ko nakuha yung trabaho ko ngayon ay dahil sa last step na to. The background check.

Kung may extra budget din kayo, okay din na mag enrol kayo ng mga courses, to get your foot on the door. Hindi ko sigurado sa ibang states, pero sa SA merong subsidies at funding sa mga Certs I - IV, Diploma studies kahit hindi ka pa PR. In demand ang Aged Care and Child Care dito, at ang certificate studies nila ay between 3 - 12months. Check the TAFE website and see what course that might be of interest. Pwede din sa mga private schools, just make sure they are registered training provider from https://myskills.gov.au/
