    guys, tama bang pagdating ng November, most of the companies eh nag stop na mag hiring?

    Usually kasi people go on holidays sa December... So simula pa cguro sa November bumabagal na daw talaga. No first hand experience yet though.
    mukhang wrong timing nga ang dating namin nito... huhu
    sana may mangilan ngilan pa rin na open posts
    Nagtanong po ako sa mga recruiters, matumal po nga pag November up to December. Pumi-pick up po by mid-January.

    Guys, tanong po, sa Australia ba yung hiring process eh katulad lang satin sa Pinas na meron ding Medical Examination? Kailangan pa ba yun kahit na nag medicals na tayo sa ating Visa Application?

    Hello po sa lahat. Medyo malas po ako sa jobhunting dito sa Sydney. Mga 7 months na rin akong naghahanap. Pero di ko to namalayan dahil sa kahihintay ng reply sa mga inapplayan ko. Puro close calls yung mga applications na suited sa qualifications ko. Merong company na nagkainteres sa akin after ng interview kaso hinanapan ako ng local experience, meron ding hindi na naghire for the role kahit sabi sa akin sa interview e malaki chance ko, at merong hanggang final three lang ako. Swertehan talaga dito at sabi nila swerte ka na raw pag na invite for interview kasi usually daw hindi bumababa ng 100 yung applications for every role, kaya sobrang competitive na talaga ang I.T. job market ngayon. Hopefully, makahanap pa rin ako. Although sinasama ko na rin ngayon pag aapply sa mga trabaho na di-related sa experience ko.

    Share ko lang pala. aside from updating your linkedin account, make sure you also update your seek account. In my case, hindi sya kasingdami ng information sa linkedin account ko pero dahil may seek account ako, may mga recruiters na nagccheck ng resume ko and tinatawagan ako. hehee Kaya try nyo rin pagandahin seek account nyo. You will never know who will come across your resume. Take note na hindi updated resume ko hehehe Hindi pa nakalagay local experience ko pero naging interested sila sa profile ko. But I did not pursue the opportunity any further kase gusto ko muna tapusin yung contract kung asan ako ngayon.

    Pag nasa circulation na ang resume nyo, be it in linkedin or seek, may mga recruiters ang in the future bigla na lang ccontact sa inyo from time to time. hehehe Kaya sa simula lang tlga medyo challenging. Pero once nakabreak in ka na, magsasawa kayo sa trabaho dito. hehehe But then again depende pa rin (may mga job cuts/redundancy kase sa mga companies from time to time din..) Always seek God's will and pray for the right direction and decision. :)

    This ++

    From experience also

    Emailed application = Few to none response

    Linkedin Account = Too many Private Private message for the same position

    Recruiters will come to you not the other way around ....

    I recently been hired through my linkedin account ...

    If you are going to put on a profile make sure your STRONG qualifications is there plus a nice photo inde yung mukhang parang natutulog lang or pang ID na photo

    Google for Everything !!!

    Hello PinoyAU peeps.. Chip in ako sa jobhunting experience ko.. Sa tingin ko ito ang best things to have sa jobhunt

    1. A lot of prayers!

    2. Tailored CV (as in lahat ng itemized requirement ng employer eh nandun sa CV mo at yun ang unang una nila mababasa sa CV mo)

    3. Sincere cover letter (Write it like you mean it! Yung letter ko sa kanila simple lang format, intro, body, and pleasantries then close pero it says my high interest sa job and what I have to offer)

    4. Network. (May kakilala ako na pinoy working for the company na gusto ko applyan, tinanong ko ng tinanong yung nature ng work and tips na din kung anu dapat isagot sa interview - for example, kahit na hindi ako madalas umakyat ng tore, sabi ko comfy ako mag work at heights :) )

    Timeline: applied 17-Aug, interview 23-Aug, first day 27-Aug.

    Good luck sa inyo sana makatulong ito sa jobhunt :)
