Paraan sa paghanap ng trabaho

TotoyOZresidentTotoyOZresident Posts: 1,327Member, Moderator
edited April 2014 in Working in Australia
Ito ay para sa mga newly migrant na naghahanap ng trabaho. Base po ito sa kaka-search kung paano maghanap ng trabaho dito. Sadya pong napakahirap maghanap ng trabaho, napakataas ng kompetensya ngayun dipede sa skills, qualification at lugar ninyo. Kasalukuyan pa rin ako naghahanap ng malilipatan na trabaho at kahit ako hirap din sa paghanap ng trabaho dito. Hindi po ito garantya na makakahanap ng trabaho kaagad subalit malaking tulong po ito sa inyo para magkaroon kayo ng ideas and choices. Malaya po kayo magkomento o magdadag ng inpormasyon kapag natapos nyo na basahin ito at paki-like na lang po kung nakatulong ito sa inyo. Pakibasa ng mabuti at ulitin para maintindihan lalo ang instruction. Maraming salamat sa inyo.

Apat na paraan para makahanap ng trabaho. Mas mabuti kung nandito na kayo sa Australia kung gagawin nyo ito. Kailangan Australia address at contact number ang nakalagay sa resume ninyo.:

I. FIND – Top job website ng Australia tulad ng http://www.seek.com.au, http://www.careerone.com.au, http://www.jobserve.com, http://www.mycareer.com.au, http://www.jobseeker.com.au, http://www.jobsearch.gov.au. Mag sign up at mahanap ng trabaho sa mga site na ito. Kapag may nakita kayong email address ng agent dun nyo ipadala ang cover letter at resume nyo imbes sa site. Halos lahat naman ng mga agent pino-post nila ang job opening sa lahat ng job site na ito. Mas mabuting mag send muna ng resume kung plano nyo tawagan ang agent kung may mga tanung kayo. Pero expecting di kayo makakausap ng maayus dahil sa kanilang busy schedule. Make sure na basahin ng mabuti ang job ads at kailangan may mga similar words na nakasulat sa resume ninyo ang mga requirements sa job ads kasi may program o pansala ang agent sa pagpili ng resume. Kapag kaunti o walang similar word sa job ads sa resume nyo sigurado hindi kasama sa selection. Make sure up to date ang resume ninyo at dapat In Australia resume format ang gamitin. Hindi na kailangan ilagay ang picture, birthday, status, hobbies at anything information na hindi related sa pag-apply ng trabaho. Mayron din pala sa http://www.linkedin.com na Job search just type nyo lang ang skills ninyo sa search box. You can search as well lahat ng recruitment agency web site at mag sign up din doon. For example http://www.hays.com.au para ma notify kayo kapag may opening sa skills ninyo.

II. INVITE (Optional) – Dito napaka-importante ang http://www.linkedin.com. its like inviting all Agent, Directors and Human resource manager to view your Resume for job possibilities. Use “Search box” para i-“connect” lahat ng job recruitment agent ng Australia na related sa skills nyo. I “follow” din lahat na alam ninyo na company na related sa skills ninyo. Make sure ang keyword ay related sa skills ninyo when using search box in “jobs and companies” at importante i-specify ninyo ang location area para ma filter ng maayus. Lagyan ng “looking for a career” at can start immediately or similar sentence sa Linkedin ninyo para mabasa agad na you’re looking for work. May mga Australia recruitment agent na headhunter sa linkedin who knows baka makita ang linkedin ninyo at tawagan kayo agad. Kung maglalagay kayo ng pic sa linkedin dapat yung office attire at smart ang dating na pic. Puede din naman na hindi kayo maglagay ng pic. Titingnan naman dyan eh ang resume ninyo. Isipin nyo na you’re marketing you’re skills using linkedin. Make sure walang personal information na ilalagay nyo sa linkedin. Malalaman nyo pala kung sino sino ang nag view ng linkedin account ninyo. Agent consider also job site tinitingan din resume attachment sa mga job site account ninyo. If your looking for work optional is better not to add your present officemate sa linkedin. Staka nyo na lang sila i add kapag lumipat na kayo ng ibang company. http://www.linkedin.com is like a facebook everyone can see. Remind ko pala nasa google search ang name ninyo kapag may account kayo sa linked kaya important to check your linkedin setting kasi in public na pangalan ninyo.

III. SIGN UP – Some companies web site mayron member site para sa mga job seeker. Hanapin sa kanilang site kung mayrun mag sign up at mag attach ng Resume at cover letter. Use google search or http://www.aussieweb.com.au para malaman kung alin ang company na may website. Type key words of your skills in ‘”What” box, select 100 or 200kms in “Whitin” box and type your location in “where” search box. Syanga pala as much as possible at least 2 to 3 pages ang resume ninyo. 2 pages of resume is better. Alisin pala ang pride sa paghanap ng work. Kung newly Migrant kayo talagang back zero kayo sa pag apply ng work.

IV. INQUIRE (Optional) – I called it as a last option to find job. Do the No. 3 SIGN UP Instruction. Hanapin ang mga companies na may web site na related sa skills mo using google search or http://www.aussieweb.com.au. Hanapin sa company website kung may nakalagay na “career” or “employment” check kung may nakalagay na email address to send your resume. Check kung may opening sa skills mo. Kung wala naman puede ka mag inquire. Sabihin mo sa cover letter na nagtatanung ka kung may opening sa skills mo at kung wala naman baka puede nila I save ang resume mo sa future possibilities. Mas maganda kung I address mo sa Human resource department at kung may pangalan sila na nabangit dun mo sa kanya I-attention. Minsan kasi some companies di muna nila pinapa-ads sa job site or minsan naman gusto nila yung direct sa kanila magapply ng work. Who knows baka matyempuhan ninyo. Inquire ka lang naman at wala naman mawawala. Check nyo na lang sa google kung mayrun sample job inquiry letter. By the way magandang mag send ng Inquiry letter kapag gabi ng Sunday, Monday Tuesday o Wednesday para kinabukasan ng umaga mareceived nila. Kapag nagpadala kayo ng Thursday baka wala silang time to read your email til Friday. At kung Friday naman baka nasa pinaka baba ang arrangement ng email ninyo. Most companies are using Microsoft outlook. Take note you can do the inquiry one time only sa company. Puede nyo ulitin after more than one year or two years.

Reminder again: Kapag gagawa ng letter dapat ilagay ang pangalan ng padadalhan for example "Dear David". Ginagamit lang ang "Dear Sir/madam," kapag hindi ninyo alam ang pangalan na padadalhan.

For Job interview:
Alamin kung ano ang mga common na tanung ng agent sa job interview, use google search.
Ito pa funny but its true may nagsabi sa akin. Yung first time nila maghanap ng work. Sinulat nila sa parang manila paper yung tanung at sagot na sasabihin nila para hindi nila makalimutan sa phone interview lalo kapag tense at sunod sunod ang phone interview. I'm not promoting this pero ang lesson dito ay kailangan may strategy at diskarte.

Hint:
1. Prayer
2. Honest
3. Confident
4. Sit up straight
5. Good English speaking (mag-practice ng tamang australia english accent)
6. Kung anung tanung yun ang sagot
7. Kailangan tuloy tuloy lang ang sagot at kapag sinabi fair enough or alright dapat stop agad.
8. Say you’re good and why

Interview sa mga without local experience at applying for first job only (These are optional)
1. (Optional) - tell them they can terminate you after probationary period if they are not satisfied with your work performance.
2. (Optional) – You can accept kung magkano ang salary na nararapat sayo.
3. For example interview applying for mech’l engineer. The theory of mech’l engineering is the same wherever you go. My advantage is, I was able to practice it in another part of world and apply what I learned from there to my new workplace. It is an added bonus to the company that I’m going to work for in the future.

Note:
This is in No way legal advice. It is simply based on what i learned from my experience in finding work.

    Thanks staycool Stay cool ka lang. Sana makatulong sa iyo ang idea na ito. Anu kaya kung I search mo rin lahat ng recruitment agency web site at mag sign up ka dun. For example http://www.hays.com.au para ma notify ka kapag may opening sa skills mo. Another way din to maximise your searching for work. Job searching is like Marketing your business. Some Recruitment Agency will invite you for interview in their office for future possibilities. Libre mo ako ng food kapag nakahanap ka ng work. :D cheers. God bless

    Talaga back to zero una. Pero kapag nakahanap kana tuloy mo pa rin ang paghanap ng work na may good offer. Ang maganda dun mayrun kana mailalagay na local working experience. Cheers

    Hi. I think kahit bagong salta lang tau dito sa bansang to, hnd lang dapat natin i-limit ang paghahanap ng work sa pagiging entry-level lang. nung nasa pilipinas ako at bagong graduate lang, ang nasa isip ko lang eh magka-experience working. Hnd ko na inisip kung mageenjoi ba ako sa entry-level work na pipiliin ko. unfortunately almost 5yrs ako nagdusa sa work ko that i even became afraid of changing my job anymore because mejo bumaba self esteem ko. nakaka-depress lang minsan iniisip ko kung nagstart sana ako sa isang work na magugustuhan ko for long time. this time, nandito nako australia, and ngsstart nako maghanap ng trabaho, i think hnd lang basta basta tau pipili ng trabaho na entry-level lng ang basehan natin. important din ung idea na maeenjoy ba natin tong work na to kahit pa maliit lang ang sahod. ang pagiging successful eh hindi nasusukat kung pano ka magiging maunlad sa buhay, kung di sa kung papaano ka magiging masaya at kuntento sa buhay mo.

    Wow, Talagang makakatulong ito sa mga kababayan sa pinas na gustong pumunta dito sa Oz. I think If they want to have a great oppurtunity ang kailangan lng nila determination and perseverance.

    Puede din naman na iready mo ang format then kapag may Australia Address at phone number kana staka mo ibato. I mean I send mo agad sa alam mo na applyan na trabaho or Job site. Goodluck.

    Naibigay ko na lahat ang detalye. Kailangan nyo lang mag google search ng Australia Resume format at cover letter sample o kaya mag-search pa ng ibang diskarte. God bless

    @TotoyOZresident,

    Yup nasa bakasyon mode ang mga taga dito. I'm expecting on May simula na yan ng hiring

    Minsan nmn naiisip ko na lang magapply as cleaner or helper kumita lang ng konti.
    Hanggat maaari applyan mo yung skills mo. Kapag nakahanap ka ng work sa skills mo staka ka mag apply ng odd job kung kaya mo.

    Sir, ask ko lang kung bang secondary applicant lng aq ng 457 visa, dependant type lng may chance pa din bang mapansin application ko?
    Okay na okay kahit 457 dependant type. allowed ka naman to work eh.

    Karamihan kc ang gusto nila pr visa na.
    Di naman basta allowed ka to work. Staka nasa qualification mo na yan kung pasok ka sa hinahanap nila.

    Need ko pdn b muna mgapply ng pr visa para mapansin aq?
    Much better kung ikaw ang mag apply ng PR visa. Pero it doesnt mean na makakahanap ka agad ng ng work kapag PR kana. Marami dyan PR pero hirap din mag apply ng work. But big factor kasi kapag may PR visa ka. Kapag nakahanap ka ng work then sunod na gawin mo mag apply ng PR Visa. Ang 457 ay temporary lang dipende sa ilang years ang contract.

    Kht nandito nako melbourne. Building maintenance aq sa pilipinas, possible din kaya makakita ako d2 na willing kumuha sakin sa design eventhough hindi ito experience ko?
    I guess kung anu ang skill mo ngayun yun ang applyan mo kasi you have experience on that. Sa interview staka mo sabihin na your interested to switch to design in the future if you have given a chance. May employee evaluation naman every year eh. So you can say to them kung anu ang gusto mo in the future.

    Gusto ko kasi tlga na magswitch sa design kahit magsimula ulit sa umpisa.
    If your interested talaga. You have to take part time study sa design. But Bit by bit muna mag start ka muna kung anu yung work experience mo ngayun. Then to be follow kung anu man ang gusto mo in the future.

    Basahin mo paulit ulit yung binigay ko na advise to look for work. If you need to talk for more information Just PM me and I'll give you a call. God bless

    @TotoyOZresident,

    Nagpass palang ako ng assessment paper sa EA last january 28. Bale hinihintay ko na lang nyan outcome. Hahanapan ba ko ng possible employer ng membership from EA? Nilagay ko naman sa resume ko na on-going pa din ang EA assessment ko. Ineexpect ko i-read nila ung papers ko by mid june. Thank you sir sa concern. This week sana may tumawag, kahit 1 lang. Hirap pa neto ang hirap magenglish, nauutal ako hehehe.

    Hello @TotoyOZresident and sa lahat ng members ng forum:) maraming salamat sa very helpful info na ito TotoyOZresident. Would it be possible for u to send me a copy of the Australian resume format na nabanggit mo sa post mong ito. I'm not aware that there is a specific resume format in Au. I'm actually a newbie here but i have been granted a subclass 190 visa
    Dec 2013. I've been sending applications online way before the visa grant, mainly thru seek.com, and have not received any positive feedback yet. A few friends told me na di maganda ang market jan specifically for engineering where my line of is in. Kaya hesitant akong magresign from my work here in singapore and I have until november of this yr to make my first entry in AU. Some friends advise me to not resign yet until im sure of a job then just have a 1 or 2-week vacation in Au sometime august or september bago mag holiday mood and mga aussies just to test the waters. My agent told me to go take the risk at pumunta jan sa au kahit walang trabahong sigurado. Sabe nya, makakahanap naman daw ako for sure--kahit temporarily e di in line sa trabaho ko. My agent also said that anong good ng visa mo kundi ka agad pupunta dito sa Australia. Hindi pa rin ako makadecide on what to do. Im afraid na maubos ko lang yung ipon ko para makipagsapalaran jan sa Au without a sure source of income. On the other hand, i really want to go there now and escape my very stressful working environment here in singapore. I hope you guys can give me so insights on this. Many thanks!!

    hi Seraph, i had the same dilemma as you 3 years ago. Ang gnawa ko ndi ko ginive up muna ang PR ko sa SG and I decided to give it a try here for 2 months at kung walang mangyari babalik ako ng SG eventhough I alreadyy resigned from my job,, matter of fact ay returned ticket ung binili ko non. Luckily after 3 wks of stay here my nahanap nman ako na work Yes, what your friends are saying is true na medyo mahirap ung job market ngayon dto. Anong field mo po sa engineering? Dito kami sa Melbourne, and they say its the manufacturing capital of Aus, but sad to say too many job losses happening specially nung nag announce ung 3 big car makers na they will cease their mfng here, sabi nga sa news eh its about 40 job losses/day at Victoria alone and not much jobs are being created. Added pa na competition is getting tougher na din because of many immigrants coming from UK, China and India as well. My foremer manager from SG, he and the family moved to Brisbane Feb of last year and last time na nakausap ko sya wala padn daw syang work (I think that was Nov), lucky ung wife nya is IT at nagka work agad.


    Maybe you give it a try for 1-2 months but be prepared financially since my kamahalan ang cost of living specially if u dont have relatives or friends na matutuluyan like my case,

    @Seraph, sorry na pindot ko agad ung post kahit d pa tapos :)

    May point dn nman ung sabi ng agent mo na kung di ka mag take ng risk, wala dn mangyayari.

    May mga nag o-odd jobs muna para lang maka survive or nag start as entry jobs or totally not related a field nila, maybe you can try doing those while looking for a job n tlagang sa field mo.

    Malaking tulong din yung job referral, maybe your friends can refer you to their managers. Ung sales analyst nmin na Iranian she was looking for a job for almost a year, wala syang local experience and d pa ganon ka fluent sa English at dependent visa sya (husband used to be on student visa studying Phd ), nataon n friend nya ung QA manager nmin at nag resign ung analyst, ayun na i-refer sya Operation mngr at na hire nman sya.

    Hi.
    Would you say mahirap talaga makakuha ng slot ung mga dependant visa lang ang hawak like me na walang local experience at mejo hirap magenglish? ano maipapayo mo skn? hindi ako makapag-apply ng any PR visa kc hindi pa tpos ang EA assessment ko at kht matapos un hindi pa din ako aabot sa 60points dhil 6.5 lang ang writing ko sa ielts so wlang points to make it to 60points. hay. masyado ba ako nagmadali pumunta dito? it has been 1.5 months na nandito ako melbourne and yet ni 1 call sa mga inapplyan ko walang tumatawag. this week palang ako nagstart magapply ng odd job tgnan ko in this case kung papalarin ako kht pangtawid lang ng gutom.

    usual na hnhnap ng mga employers seek.com eh PR ka. which i do not hav. malamang next year pako ma-pr didikit ulit sa partner ko kapag nag-apply na sya. hay. pakiramdam ko nakalutang lang status ko d2. nalulungkot lang ako. hindi ndn aq mkblik ng pinas kc syempre alam mo na...

    457 visa - dependant type hawak ko. should i ask kapag nag-aapply ako sa mga employer kung cno willing sa kanila magsponsor ng visa kht 457 pdn pero at least ako na ang primary applicant? possible kaya un? i can take again ielts exam here pero ang sbi ng partner ko mahihirapan ndaw ako maka7.0 across dhl mataas ang expectation d2.

    nagmadali b tlga ako pmunta d2?

    hi lester, sa tingin ko nman hindi hindrance unng dependent visa as long as eligible ka na mag-work and swak ung credentials mo sa hinahanap ng company.

    Cguro tlaga lang mahirap ung job market ngayon but hopefully mag pick up ulit. Tyaga tyaga lang tlaga sa pag-aaply :). I know someone na 457 sya then ung wife as dependent nakapasok nman ng work as cleaner sa 1 shopping mall here sa southeast though di ko lang sure kung sya ay ni-refer or nag apply ng sarili nya.

    Habang nagapply ka sa field mo, kuha k ng forklift training para magka license ka yan ang tingin ko medyo madaling makahanap ng work as order picker or warehouse storeman ok dn ang sweldo ng mga ito. Sa company na pinapasukan ko they earn 25-30/hr (or even more) pero matatagal n cla sa company tipong 10-20yrs+ plus na meron pa nga 30yrs na . Dami kcng mga warehouses dto and yan ang business model trend, since mataas ang mfng cost, they tend to import and build warehouses na lang to store products. Although di ko lang sure kung magkano ung fee sa gantong courses, mostly kc govt funded pag citizen at PR maliit lang ang bnabayaran not sure as 457 dependent kung magkano. Dami kming nadadaanan sa mall na booth na ganyan and they say they will train and refer you to jobs once you obtain the license.

    @happyinmelbourne34,

    thanks sa info and advice. tingin ko din swak ngaun ang warehousing based sa seek.com anyway kahit anong odd job naman papasukin ko na, cleaner pa yan o kitchen hand or even PSA o PCA, lahat need ng certification pero ready naman ako to acquire. un lang wala akong malapitan na pwd magrefer sa mga ganun. kht simpleng cleaning job lang ayos nako.

    hirap lang sa work ko na prefer ko, air conditioning maintenance engr ako pero ni simpleng duct cleaner or air filter service hindi ako magswak. hindi ko alam bkt ni isa walang mag-approve.

    hay salamat sa mga cnb mo. im sure marami pa jan na katulad ng situation ko, basta hwag lang kayo susuko.

    hi lester,

    you're welcome! yup, warehousing ang medyo daming opportunities though required mostly ng forklift license. Ung warehouse supervisor nmin na retrench sya but in matter of 1-2 wks nakahanap agad ng work. Melbourne's port is the busiest port in Au in terms of container and cargo load, kaya medyo mdaming warehousing/transport-logistics jobs.

    May driver's license k n b?
    I think in terms of duct cleaner or air filter service technician tingin ko medyo dami kang ka compete dto un tinatawag nilang mga "tradies".

    Tama wag kang susuko, dadating dn ung tamang opportunity for you as maintenance engr, importante nandito ka na :) and basta nman mgka local experience ka madali na lang dn lumipat.

    hi.

    oo may lisensya nako. as per 457 visa, ung non-pro license satin pwede na daw un. pero hindi pako makapag-drive kahit may sasakyan na partner ko. hirap kasi ako hindi pako sanay at mejo nalulula pako. hnd ko alam kelan ako magkakalakas ng loob mgdrive. may fear kasi tlga ako. 1 pa yan. hehehe

    anyway, tama ka nga ang dami ding tradesman d2. sandamukal ang job from gardener to handyman to mechanic to ac tech. pero lahat would require certificate. i knw mas mataas ang bachelors degree sa certificate pero in terms of actual skills tlga, punung puno ang mga trade people kaya mahirap tlga mkpg-compete lalo na naghahanap ang employer ng mga certificates. kaya nga hnd ko alam gagawin ko panu makapenetrate.

    pero ung real na job ng maintenance engr. ung hahawak ka ng tao at gagawa ng maintenance program na magiging company wide based sa pagaaral mo, feeling ko malabo tlga makuha un d2. hindi ganun kalakas loob ko at 1 pa sa pilipinas nga hndi ko din magagawa un d2 pa kaya. pero im not loosing hope. kahit matawag lang na air conditioning engr. o hvac engr one day masaya na ko. hehehe.

    pero sa ngaun, pagiging cleaner muna aasikasuhin ko. masipag naman ako maglinis.

    :)

    @ lester

    naku tanggalin mo n yang nerbyos mo hehehe para makapag drive k na, magtake k ng ilang driving lesson para matanggal yang nerbyos mo. Ung ibang jobs required nila na marunong kang magdrive or own a transpo. Nung nag appply p lang ako ng trabaho dto , ang lalayo ng mga factories, and laging tanong sa kin if may sarili daw ba kong transpo, nung una sinabi ko na wala pa kc d nman tlaga ko marunong mag drive nung dumating ako dto, ayun need daw nila ng may sasakyan kc nga not accessible by public transpo ung lugar.

    Nung nagka work ako, naghanap ako ng unit na medyo malapit 15-20 mins na lakaran papuntang workplace. Ok dn nman, yun nga lang pag winter mahirap dn maglakad kc maulan at pag 0-5 degree sa umaga ang hirap kahit ilang layers na yung suot ko eh nanginginig pa dn katawan ko sa lamig, kaya nag enroll ako sa driving school para matutong mag-drive. Ngayon ok na, nakapag drive n nga ko Melbourne to Sydney, roundtrip pa hehehe :)
