I've just relied on Seek and a few times at Indeed but no luck. I feel that I am running out of options.
Where are you based in here Australia?
Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Do you think I should submit my resume to Hays and other recruitment firms as well? I am just concerned about submitting to other firms because it might jeopardize my chances with my existing recruiter.
I would also like to ask how often you should check with your recruiter about a particular role. My current recruiter mentioned about a possible role that she might get hold of mid this week but it's already Friday and have not heard from her. Ayaw ko naman maging makulit
Your thoughts please. Many thanks!
Hope you have a nice long weekend ahead of you!

Hi, I tried to apply at hays but the did not accept my application because they want me to have an aussie experience which is quite impossible because how can you land a job to get an aussie experience if they will not give you the job?

My wife had a better dealings with them paticularly sa AccoutancyOptions. They were able to give her a contract job with an advertising company.
Ang maadvise ko lang, wag kang magrely sa mga promises ng mga recruiting agencies. Just do what you know na makakatulong sayo. Kung sabi ni recruiter they will call you after a week then after a week call them. If you didn't heard from them after 1-2 days then apply ka na. Don't hold yourself because sabi ni recruiter iapply ka nya. Based on my experience, kung meron talaga work for you and gusto ka ng client nila, they will contact you kahit gabi pa. Kasi you are a potential income for them kaya they won't let that chance get away. I hope meron sense sinasabi ko.
Apply lang ng apply kasi kadalasan yung mga clients nila hindi muna nagpopost sa seek. So ang chance na magkaron ng duplicate application is very slim. Kasi nga naman, kung sa seek lang din nila apply yung candidate, what's the sense diba? eh kaya na lahat gawin yun. In short wala added value yung service nila. Kung magkaron ng duplicate application, then so what, lipat ka ng iba recruiter. Napaka dami ng candidate so they wouldn't mind losing you, so in return don't mind if you lose them, napaka dami din ng agencies dyan.
Give yourself a time limit sa paghahanap ng work related sa field mo. Ako dati it took me 6 months to realize na mali ang strategy ko sa paghahanap ng work. But after I realized that I went on a training sa hospitality industry hoping I could get a job as a waiter. I also applied sa mga volunteer work but an unexpected thing happened after 10months. I was referred and was able to land a job at a factory in eastern suburb. Palawakin mo lang connections mo and you'll be surprised kung ano magagawa nyan sayo.
Don't lose hope, pray hard. Be humble and realize your mistakes. Sometimes things happened for a reason. Now I can feel na I am a better person. Btw, I was offered a job on my related field after 4 months of working in a factory. Thank God!
I hope this inspires you. Sorry for the long read.

Good luck po sa job hunting niyo.. If hindi niyo pa po nattry mag reach out to a head hunter, it's worth the try. I was able to land this role through the head hunter I mentioned earlier in this thread.
God bless po!

I had an interview before with a head hunter pero till now ala pang update.
How did you get in touch with them, nag-apply ka ba muna sa Seek thru head hunter or you directly called them. Most of the jobs kase na advertised sa Seek are thru agent.
By the way, ano palang role mo? Good luck ha:-)

So, today was my first day at work. Accountant din po ako dun sa new company ko.
I hope this gives hope to everyone looking for work. I've been on the hunt din for a few months and with constant prayer is God blessed me with this wonderful gift. Always be hopeful and surround yourself with positive people. I know na hanggang di pa dumadating ang work is the future seems bleak pero walang imposible. God already brought us here and He will never forsake us. Count your blessings palagi. There is always something to be thankful for and that will keep you going.
Don't forget po to try some volunteering. I did a few events and once a week is nag a-administration assistant ako sa isang neighborhood centre. This will help you become busy aside sa job hunting.
Goodluck po! Be specific po sa prayer niyo. never second guess yourself!
Sorry po this is a lengthy post now.

I know you have also struggled in the beginning, pero di ka nawalan ng hope, that's why you deserve it. Sabi nga, pag silent si Lord for sure he is busy working and preparing something better for us.
Marami rin bang technical questions during the interview or more on typical HR questions. Pag may time ka, share ka ng experiences sa work mo ha.
Good luck sa yo and God Bless. Thanks din sa Novena ha.
By the way, I sent you a PM.
