Dun sa mga nagwe wait ng visa grant and planning to BM soon afterwards, try to improve and activate your linkedin and maximise your professional presence in the target industry and city for the mean time. Sobrang helpful po. Promise!
In this way, tataas yung visibilty nyo. So when people try to search for ganitong role in the city of (your chosen locality), kayo agad yung mag-appear.
Share ko lang yung naging experience ko. After I received the grant last Mar 16 nag start na ako ayusin Linkedin Profile ko. Sabi nga try to reach full stars and 1000+ connections. Important thing is to connect to as many people within your target industry/profession and target city either actively (with personal message) or passively (no message). In my case passive lang ako, mindset ko is add lang ng add and kung ireject man di naman nila ako kilala and no pressure since malayo pa BM. Once mag BM tsaka ko sila i-PM. (PM is the key strategy. Hehe)
While adding, I see to it na okay yung profile summary and naka indicate dun na may PR Visa ako and will move to this city on this date. Meron din ako sample works (photos) below the profile for them to see.
Concurrently, inupdate ko din CV ko in AU format. I have put the helpful links sa baba ng post. I omit the general job description and use key achievements instead. Yung JD ko nilaro ko words to make it sound as an achievement and not just a day-to-day task that anyone can perform. I see to it na max 3 bullet points lang para nga mabilis mag-edit (and mag tailor fit) and apply once I move na permanently.
Ginamit ko din yung free trial nun premium which I found sobrang worth it especially yung Linkedin Learning na may downloadable offline courses na related sa field ko na drafting and building information modelling. In fact, na apply ko pa yun mga natutunan ko dun sa last work ko dito sa SG. Before 1 month I cancelled na para di mag-bill haha.
Eventually may mga nagpi PM na both recruiters and MDs. Sinasabi ko na ganito pa ako mag BM so by that time, i-Pm ko sila if may Vacancy pa rin.
Fast forward to May 18, may nag pm na recruiter (yan yung nai-post ko above). Reluctant ako to take the role since baka urgent and “Industrial Engineer” yung hanap. After ilang weeks, nag message ulit siya, hiningi niya CV ko which I have updated to AU Format na during free time (Buti na lang haha). Then nag send din ako sample works (sinend niya ata to MD). Yung exchange of linkedin message happened in a span of 2 weeks.
To my surprise inisched niya ako sa interview (a couple of days ago) which is a viber video call (her name is Steph btw). Sobrang light and smooth nun interview. 30 mins ata kami magkausap. That night nag message siya na impressed daw yung Managing Director sa CV ko and very keen daw to video chat tomorrow (akala mo friends haha).
Yesterday, nag kausap na kami ni MD which is more of diniscuss niya lang yung business, role, career progression, etc. Wala siya masyado questions about sakin as compared to the recruiter interview. Inisip ko baka nai-build up na ako ni Steph
Earlier nag email ako kay MD ng sample works.
Around lunch, I received the job offer from Steph and they’re asking me to submit next week my passport, visa, character reference, qualifications, etc. for us to move forward.
The role is permanent (with career progression) + super and yung rate is more than what I expect.
The bonus part is willing sila tulungan ako mag arrange ng place to stay since yung business is 16 km from CBD or 36 km from the place na dapat pag stayhan ko sa sana sa Melb. Calyton/Notting Hill to be exact.
Grabe. Hanggang ngayon. Lutang na lutang ako. Finally Graduate na ako!!!
Eto po yung timeline:
Mar 16 -Visa Granted
May 18 - Recruiter contact
May 29 - Recruiter interview
May 30 - MD interview
May 31 - Job offer received
Jun 28 - IE to Brissy
Jul 10 - BM to Melb
Jul 15 - Start of Work
Kaya dun sa mga naghihintay ng grant and mag start pa lang ng journey. Kapit, dasal, sipag at tyaga lang. Kaya niyo din yan. Kita kits sa Oz! >- \m/ 8-}

PTE Writing Tips
For writing essay I used E2 language format and applying what I learned from Ielts. Sa intro, sa 1st sentence ni restate ko lang yung question using my own words. Then sa 2nd sentence if one sided lang yung question, I give summary of the reasons ( 2 reasons only). Example, if ang essay is about importance of computers (one sided), eto 2nd sentence ko. Computers are valuable resources as they (1st reason) aid in learning and are (2nd reason) used to communicate with others. Then sa 3rd sentence sasabihin ko para pampahaba-- In this essay, I shall discuss my point of view by giving points and examples about the topic.
Then sa 2nd paragraph, elaborate ko na ang 1St reason. Mga 2 sentences na magsupport sa 1st reason, like if yung 1st reason ko is aid in learning, expand ko ang topic by answering how computers aid in learning,etc. Usually yung reason mo convert mo by asking how, what, when, or who. Tapos sa 3rd sentence, I state examples. Pwede ka din mag add pa ng 4th sentence parang isummarize mo lang ang 2nd paragraph.
Sa 3rd paragraph discuss naman ang 3rd reason same sa ginawa sa 2nd par.
4Th paragraph 1st sentence conclusion, then 2nd sentence recommendation.
If 2 sided naman yung intro pwede mo gamitin yung nasa template like kina Heprex na samples. Then yung 2nd par yung kabilang side, then yung 3rd paragraph yung other side. Tapos same last paragraph.
If medyo nahihirapan ka sa mga ideas, research ka dito sa forum ng mga recent topics. Tapos based dun sa topic reasearch ka anong pwedeng maging points and reasons para may idea ka na ano ilalagay mo sa essay.
Ang key talaga sa writing is dapat marami ka ideas. If nahihirapan ka mag construct ng idea try to research as much as possible. Google mo yung mga common or recent topics on pte writing tapos may mga sample questions dun,, then research mo ano possible answers para sa actual exam may idea kana ano isasagot. Tapos dpat familiarize mo mga connectors (like moreover, therefore, for instance, etc) kasi mas mataas ang grade kapag medyo complex ang sentence na ginagamit mo kesa simple sentences lang.
For summarize written text strategy ko is to first get ano main topic. Then analyze what important points were given, may nangyari ba? If meron ano ang nangyari, kelan nangyari? ano at para kanino ang purpose? Usually kasi sa mga paragraphs naka detail lang pero yung point lang naman dun is parang dinedescribe lang yung main topic. If you can answer who/what, when, how and why about the topic pwede mo na pagdugtungin yung ideas mo thru connectors and form a sentence. If you will have multiple paragraphs, summarize mo muna per paragraph then summarize mo ulit lahat in one sentence
Another tip also in writing as much as possible do not repeat the same words. If you dont have much stored knowledge about synonyms okay lang. Practice and Research is the key. Kaya malaki ang help sa akin yung pag research sa mga common or recent topics kasi while practicing pwede akong mghanap ng synonyms then mas madali ko syang ma recall sa actual exam kasi nagawa ko na sya before. Tapos if meron kayong word na ma encounter na parang hirap kayo mag elaborate, google nyo din anong synonym or phrases na pwedeng same meaning ng word. Share ko yung nilista kong mga synonyms na possible na magagamit sa mga essay kasi minsan these are the topics commonly asked.
