Two weeks na ko dito sa Melbourne, arrived February 16. Nagtry ako mag apply sa mga Seek and CareerOne hindi ako natatanggap. So ok lang kahit odd jobs muna.

Headhunter called him while we were having lunch after his second interview and told him that both clients offered him a job. That was Feb 24, Monday. Eight day namin dito.
We are very grateful. We were prepared to wait a bit longer (average 3 months, based on forum posts) but I guess luck was on his side. He defines luck as chance + preparedness.
But now, there's me who's still jobless. So if may mare-refer kayo, please do. Mabait naman ako saka masipag and may medical background pa.

so before po ba nagchange address si mister at bago kayo dumating ng AU, wala po ba mga potential interviewers si mister? malapit lng ba kayo sa CBD? okay lng ba magcommute?
i suggest wag ka lng muna pumatol sa offers like dun sa reception. I think u r off the pressure kc may trabho na si mister. cguro find an odd job that ur interested in.may friend ako nagsabi na sa mga shops eventhough wala silang posting sa labas ng vacancy, pwede ka magtanong if kelangan nila ng temporary staff.

And yes, I'm a very proud wife.
Anyway, dito pala, you wouldn't want to seem overqualified for a job, kasi they will not hire you din. Maybe that's why also all receptionist applications I sent were declined.
No, he did not send any application from the Philippines so I do not know what are the chances of that. Can't hurt to try.
Right now, malayo layo kami sa CBD, pero ok din mag commute. Tram lang. Mid-March, we are moving to North Melbourne, very near CBD.
Yun nga din naiisip ko eh. So pwede ako if ever mag-store to store and ask? Another option is to volunteer. Pero pag nakalipat na siguro kami, and maybe volunteer but not everyday para maka-raket din ako ng odd jobs para rin me sarili na akong pera. Importante pa din yan kahit may work na husband ko.
Wag kayo mahinaan ng loob. Before coming here, I was very anxious because:
1) konti lang funds namin na dala,
2) medyo pangit nga daw ang job market, based on forum posts here, and experience din ng mga kakilala namin na ilang buwan bago nagka work.
If naniwala kami and hindi tumuloy, e di sayang naman. My husband wasn't anxious though. He said he knew he would get a job, he just did not expect it would be that fast.
Learn all you can. Read all you can. Practice, practice, practice. Work hard and prepare your butt off. Australia may not have the most ideal job market nowadays, but basing on my husband's experience, I can say for sure they recognize talent when they see it. Goodluck!
