Use less filters when searching at www.seek.com.au (or whichever search engine). Do not type any keyword; just choose your industry then your location. (refer to jpg below)

Most jobs are not advertised, so word of the mouth is your best chance of getting in. Sometimes you don’t even need to have an interview
So the more people you know the better chance of you finding a job.
I was in a (Pinoy) party when a friend of a friend informed me about a vacancy in their company; it was advertised though, for some reason hinde ko nakita sa seek. And as soon as I went home, quickly login on the company website, fortunately only 5 hrs left for the job to close. Yup I got that Job!

Someone I know did this. Search all the companies related to his industry then send them an email introducing himself , skills, qualification and what he can do to the company. So in less than a month he got a job. That happened 2008 recession period.

Hi there! hmm opinion varies per personal experiences. I would say most employer prefer someone who can start on 2 weeks notice that has a local adress and mobile #.
But you can still prepare, start working on your CV and cover letter. Prepare different templates for different type of jobs. Take note I believe that quality is more important than quantity in sending out CVs
Theres a lot of preparation u need while u are still there..

May mga bad experiences po ba ako maisshare regarding headhunters? Parang useful din kasi sila in a sense that you establish a connection with a potential employer through agencies...

Hi Loki, I never tried using agency since hinde sya recommended nung Speaker sa training session namin. But then again like I said I'm not an expert on this
May nakwento kasi sya, na some companies pag nakita nila na thru agent that would mean that if they hire u they will have to pay that agent.
But of course its your choice
