Nadine

@peach17: Nakalimutan mo si master @TotoyOzresident!

Hindi ako master guys. Pero pwede naman ako mag-post dito a template of a CV na ginagamit ko rin, sabihin niyo lang po. I am not sure kung applicable to for odd jobs though?

They say, pag odd jobs, you have to "downplay" your qualifications. Kung gano katoto yan, hindi ko rin alam po. Although, in my humble opinion, for odd jobs, maganda yung sinasabi ni @nfronda. Referral system probably works best.

Gori

CV naman please.. or at least give us a hint how to get these jobs specially if we are competing with students and working holiday visa holders

solidjeff

pano nman i-align yung CV na pang-odd jobs kung wla ka nman work exp sa ganun like as fast food crew or cleaner?

ahhh i see... thanks for the info sis @nfronda

Nadine

@peach17: Sis, hindi siya pang odd jobs eh. In fact, sobrang tailored dun sa field ko. Eto yung rough template ha:

- personal details
- work/practice history
- clinical expertise/experience
- registration history
- clinical skills
- scholarships
- publications
- professional references

Sis, baka mapakunot noo yung inaaplyan mo ng cleaning job kung lalagyan mo ng programming skills hehehe! Kidding aside, may napulot ako dito sa ospital tidbits of info. Baka makatulong.

1. May pinay cleaning lady dito sa ospital namin na cleaner for almost 20 yrs. Ni-recommend siya ng isang pinay din nauna sa kanya as cleaner. So, networking as soon as makarating kayo. For odd jobs, ok talaga kung word-of-mouth referrals. Sa totoo lang, nakakabuhay ng pamilya ang cleaner. Si Ate has a house and car, and kids off to uni. Not bad huh. Cleaner satin di kaya ang ganito.

2. Yung CV daw sobrang simple. Ang titingnan lang daw kung may visa ka at ready to work. So, tip number 2, better to place your visa entitlement on the personal details part. Plus, better to have australian contact number and address where you can be reached.

3. Magandang stepping stone din pala ang cleaner. One Asst nurse na pinoy started out as cleaner, and eventually naging asst nurse (or something). Gusto ko nga yung ginagawa niya. Sarap nga applyan eh, hehe. But kelangan ng certificate III daw. So, I guess it helps to have local certificates.

peach17

Thank you sis @Nadine

Ok pala ang Cleaner... si Ate na Cleaner as you said parang ang ganda ng status ng pamilya nya ah

Ano pa ibang okay na Odd Jobs dyan sis?

stolich18

Yung sinasabi ni @nadine as cleaner jobs dito, totoo yun.. Confirmed yun ng na-stay-an ko na family sa sydney.. May isa pa nga raw na cleaner, BMW sasakyan nya.. hehehe mahal kase tlga bayad sa services dito kase ok ang minimum wage.

nfronda

Yes, I'm proud to say my mum is a cleaner too.. She's a permanent part time cleaner of one of the government establishments here.. Lahat ng benefits nakukuha nya.. Sa atin ung cleaner ay sobrang liit ng sahod d2 ay mlaking tulong na sa pamilya.. Mum has no working experience in Pinas, she never work.. D2 lg xa ng work at nakuha nyang job na 2 through referral lg din ng isang pinoy..

Maganda talaga pag my referral, most of the company reckon to hired an employee referred by their employee.. Un nga lang kung ikw nag rerefer choose the better pra hndi namn madumihan ung name m sa company m..

Usually ba, pag na interview ka na sa prof position, advisable ba na banggitin na kasalukuyan kang nag odd jobs (for possible local exp) or secret mo nlang (para di nila isipin na nag downgrade k)?

Ano po usually work ng cleaner? Lahat2 ba lilinisin or depende kung saan ka maassigned. Dito kasi sa SG, may auntie kami nililinis nya 3 cr sa building, mopping, punas, pati yung labasan, dilig, etc. If time comes na need ko mag cleaner and i have no choice, medyo kabado ako kasi tamad ako maglinis at wala ako masyado alam. Bahala na, hahaha.
