Honestly, hindi ko inexpect na mahihirapan ako makahanap ng work kasi nung nsa pinas pa, marami akong nakikitang job vacancies dito for Accountants. Well, sadly marami rin nga palang students dito and migrants na Accountants kaya stiff din ang competition.
Nung una, pinipili ko pa yung mga jobs na inaaplyan ko. Pero ngayon, basta accounting or external audit role kahit entry level, contractual or part time, nag sesend ako resume. Basta magkaron lang ng local experience. Kahit yung mga jobs na nasa malayong suburbs, inaapplyan ko na rin. Ok lang kahit magrelocate kami basta magkaron lang ng work.
Staying positive and keepng our faith.

I studied MYOB with TAFE so as to increase my chances of landing a job, but unfortunately until now, oh well, still jobless.
Has anyone tried working for charities to do fundraising? $25 per hour plus Super sounds nice and decent. Plus, the accounting market here in SA is quite tough, really tough.
Thanks.

After 1.5 months, I have found a permanent full time job. The first employer who contacted me for interview, sila din yung nag hire sa akin. I will need to relocate since medyo malayo sa city yung workplace ko. But the suburb is parang mini city na rin kaya sobrang happy na namin.
Napansin ko lang, yung 2 employers na nagcontact sa akin for job interview, they are both located sa suburbs that are not within the CBD. I think, medyo kaunti ang competition in those places kaya nagkaron na rin ako chance for an interview. Syempre, the employers are also looking at your qualifications. Pero hindi masyadong dehado kahit na walang local experience.
Sa amin naman, ok lang kahit malayo and magrelocate kami kasi hindi pa rin naman kami established. We are just renting a room malapit sa CBD. So good opportunity na rin yung magrelocate kami pra magkaron na kami ng sariling house to rent and we can have a good start.
@harryalbeldaofw nasa SA ka rin pala.. san ka po dito? Try mo apply sa mga suburbs not within the cbd.. baka sakali makuha mo na ang big break mo. I really feel you. super tough talaga ng accounting jobs dito. Pero I believe na meron at meron pa rin talaga tayong makukuha. Patience lang at maraming prayers.
