I applied for a graduate role in a Sydney based energy company last July. The position has the duties and responsibilities exactly like what I had in my previous job, so I thought I had a pretty good chance of nailing this one.
First week of August, while I was on the way to an interview for a kitchen assistant role, the HR from the energy company ringed and asked if she could interview me. I said yes, so I talked to her while I was on the train. Finally she said she'd schedule me for an interview with the national manager within the week.
I waited for the call, I followed up through e-mail a couple of times, but there was no response. By the end of August, I decided to let go and move on.
Early October, the company posted a similar role. This time it's a more senior, non-graduate position. I applied for the role, and the same HR called up by third week of October. She apologized for not getting back on me during my previous application, but she said she felt that I am more suited for this new role. I was ecstatic.
I was scheduled for a video conference with the national technical manager and the hiring manager first week of November. I thought I did okay in the interview, although I did not feel it was an outstanding one.
End of November, after sending them two follow up e-mails and a phone call, a new HR officer called up to say that the position I am applying for is currently on hold. She said they will not be pursuing the process due to 'internal changes' in the company. Whatever 'internal changes' those were, I did not bother to ask. This time it was easier to move on. I was numbed and fed up, I almost didn't care.
Second week of December, the new HR called me up again and asked if I am still interested with the position. Naturally I said yes. She asked for my professional referees and established contact the same week. After completing the reference checks by Friday last week, she said they are just waiting for approval.
The truth is, my job hunting experience was both depressing and exciting. But more than that, it was a learning experience. I am happy I took the risk. After 500++ CV and cover letter revisions, following almost half a year of application, and a masters degree in the interview process, I was offered the job yesterday.
Finally a role perfectly suited to my skills, experience, and passion.
In His own time. I understand that now.
Happy holidays everyone!

Yup. I rang the HR to follow up because she wasn't responding to my e-mail. I think at least a week or two yung gap ng mga follow ups ko.

For us who have just been granted a visa, yung Magical moment nung Visa Grant was quite short-lived, or we are still celebrating pero unti-unti nang nagssink-in na yung reality na there’s a new challenge waiting ahead… The challenge of finding a job.
Yung feeling na, nasa comfort zone kana, eto back to zero nanaman, and you’re risking losing lahat nung naipon mong pera na natutunaw for every day na hindi ka magiging employed sa Oz.
BUT, Positive Vibes lang…. Nasa Diyos ang Awa, Nasa Tao ang Gawa…. Prayers and Kumilos din

To jump right to it, mine took 6 days. I arrived here Jan 15th, I was offered the job yesterday (Jan 21st) and I'm about to start tomorrow, Jan 23rd. Of course, there's more to it than just the actual dates and days but I can tell you that it wasn't easy and it won't ever be possible without the advice from friends, tons of prayers, and the grace of God.
WARNING: Long read... (sorry)
I'm in IT (.Net Web Development) and I think the most crucial step for me is taking the advice of my friend who was already here before I came. That is, to accept the fact that it's really hard to compete in landing a job here, really hard.
I tried to really prepare for the opportunity before it came. Ang nasa isip ko lagi is - if someone called and interviewed me right then, I had to deal with the possibility that this interview could be my last shot for the next weeks or months and I simply had to maximize the chance.
With that in mind, I really took my time to brush up my skills weeks bago ko umalis ng Pinas (pati yung mga stuff na nababasa lang and nalilimutan na natin sa everyday work). Then when I came here, I refurbished my CV over and over until I am thoroughly satisfied. I didn't send out a single CV/cover letter until I was really ready to take interviews.
So when I came here nung 15th, nakapagsend pa lang ako ng Cover letters and CVs nung 18th (dahil sa tagal kong magproof read) sa mga jobs na I think I am a fit sa Seek. I didn't apply to a lot of job posts. I searched,scanned, filtered and applied to 17 jobs that I saw was a really good fit for what I've been doing.
Come the 19th (monday), I got 2 calls from recruiters and 1 call from an hr/resource manager ng company. The same day, I was asked to take 2 technical exams, 1 behavioral exam, which I did at home. I also had a face to face interview with a technical recruiter.
On the 20th (tuesday), I was asked by the hr/resource manager to come into their office for a face to face interview and to sit another exam. Around 30 minutes after I left their office, I was called to come back the next day for another set of panel interviews and again, a (more) technical exam.
Finally on the 21st (wednesday), I met with the manager and a senior guy from the team and had the interview and did another technical exam. Then, around 30 mins after I left their building, the HR manager called me to say I landed the job and I will start on the 23rd. They sent me the offer letter for counter-signing na rin.
I know my story is a bit shorter than some others who shared their tale. What I had going for me was training my mindset to deal with the challenge of job hunting by being prepared even before the interviews came in. This may or may not work for everyone. But at least for me, being confident and at the same ready for the opportunity is a very powerful combo to add to the heaps of prayers.
For whatever it is, don't shy away from making that big leap of faith sa paghahanap dito ng work. I was preparing for the worse, then I was given better than I had honestly expected. I truly believe that God has everything planned and He works through ways we just can't comprehend as long as we give it our honest best.
Goodluck and Godbless everyone!!!

Pero kung wala namang preparation, hindi nag-review or refresh ng skillset, baka one is doing more harm than good, pitching to a company then just missing out on the opportunity.
Wala namang masama sa pagbabasakali, kasi meron naman talagang "swerte" na tinatawag. Also, most of us, lakas ng loob lang talaga ang puhunan...
Pero Luck happens talaga when opportunity, meets preparation.
Goodluck sa aming mga maghahanap pa lang ng trabaho!

I am not sure what is the impact of using SG address and ur current locations on the available jobs. Maybe sa mga head hunters malaki kasi they might not entertain tlaga prospects outside Oz as hindi nila agad ma present sa clients nila. I will check pa how is the jobs in Seek changes/ updates. For example kasi, if i will send job application using SG address/ mobile some hiring managers/ employers might not consider kasi nasa labas pa ako ng Oz. Most of the time they might ignore my applications. What if dumating ako sa Oz and un pa rin ang mga jobs available sa Seek. Is it possible for them to consider them if my address and contact number is Australia na? Is it ok to submit applications again for same post informing them ur current location? Pwede din naman kasi ilagay sa cover letter umpisa plang na pupunta ka din naman, pero iba pa din kasi kapag nasa Aussie kana and ready for interview/ and can start to possible job asap lalo na kapag urgent ung post.

So I revised again and at least used lines and tables and other colors (in a professional way) sa document ko. I even bought a Sydney local number from Skype for 900 pesos na good for 1 month para may mailagay ako na local contact number. I even used my friend's sydney address sa CV para it will look like na I am already present there. My aim is to at least get HR to notice me and call me. I asked another friend to review my CV and he said it looks impressive. Though I haven't heard back from any company since I started using my reformatted CV last week.
Maybe I'll just keep on trying and if sir @penski516 won't mind, can you share the specifics on what you did on your CV? Panay basa ko dn ng mga blogs and articles on CV writing but each gives different opinions.

Pang nakita mo month end closing or acccruals o reconciliation at ginawa mo naman talaga be sure to put it in. That way eh sasabihin ng recruiters eh ang husay naman ng cv mo!
Cheers!
