    Hi guys... Thanks. Yup god works in mysterious ways talaga.
    I really encourage na palawakin natin ang network natin. Try to join church activities, sports, or any other org. No body knows talaga isa yan sa tutulong sa atin, lalo na kapag nalaman nila na new migrant tau.

    Minsan its really "who you know" rather than "what you know". Cheers! :D

    Hi Guys, Share ko lang story namin ni misis and baby dito sa melbourne.

    Dumating kami dito 2nd of August. Right after pagdating, todo online job hunt na ako. From Seek, Career one, Horner, Etc. halos lahat ng online website sinubukan ko. I even tailor made my resume to fit the recruiters ideal candidate and add a lot of headhunters sa linkedin ko. Pero olats padin, in almost 1 month, isa lang tumawag sa akin and Phone interview pa ng agency.

    Last week, naghahanap kami ng health center para sa vaccine ni baby. Since hnd namin makita kung nasaan ang clinic nagtanong si misis sa isang OZ lady na naglilinis ng car. Sinabi namin na new migrants kami, tinuro naman niya kami kung saan ang clinic and ask kung taga saan kami. Upon saying na "were from Philippines" bigla nyang sinabi na "are you christians?" and offcourse yes ang sagot namin. Tapos ininvite kami sa church last sunday and lunch na rin sa haws nila. Super bait talaga.

    Nabanggit ko na naghahanap palang ako ng work and galing ako Singapore from Semicon Manufacturing. Nirecommend nya ako sa company na pinagttrabahuan nya which is manufacturing din pero high tech na pagawaan ng tinapay na nagdedeliver sa coles and wollies (parang gardenia), I just have an interview kanina and will start working na next week.

    Sa mga kabayan na naghahanap ng work, napatunayan ko na mas madaling maghanap ng work dito using network and referrals than online job hunt. I recommend to try makipagkaibigan or makipag-usap sa mga OZ, mababait naman sila and most of the time sila pa ang unang magggreet. And last but not the least. PRAY always.

    Godbless sa mga kabayan na naghahanap ng work. :D
    @gilberttkd congrats! same sa question ni @sonsi_03, formal na long sleeves, black slacks and black balat shoes? or formal na suit (amerkana) talaga?

    sa experience ko sa pag-apply (mid-level dev), may mga nka-suit pero mas madami long sleeves + neck tie.. cguro depende din sa position.. kung senior/managerial inaapplyan mo tapos sa city pa ang location, I suggest mag-suit ka nalang kung walang sinabi, dahil karamihan naman ng mga nagwowork dun ganun ang suot & di ka magmumukhang overdressed

    And yes, smile :D may agency nagbigay nga ng tip sakin.. sabi bago pumasok sa office ng company, hanap muna ng banyo & tignan ang sarili sa salamin.. smile in front of the mirror.. make yourself look confident

    Sa wakas after three months of job hunting magstart n sa work tom c hubby :) para sa mga currently job hunting padin kapit lng mga kapatid :) tinitest lng tayo n lord. I believe that god has plans for you and it is just a matter of time at bibigay nya sayo yun. Observation ko lng based sa job hunting experiences n hubby na di naman problema ang local experience eh since napapansin naman application nya. Ang key lng talaga is nagmamatch ang skillset mo sa hanap ng employer. Basta dont give up and entrust everything ky lord :)

    @gmad06 naku po madami n rin po eh. Interview Sa recruiters more than 5 po tapos yung mga 4 na test consultancy company ata. Pumunta napo sya ng melb at perth for interview pero di naman sya nakuha hehe sa tingin ko po yung local experience di naman po cgro issue talaga, cgro natagalan sya makawork dahil sa skillset nya.tipong hindi yun mismo o may kulang sa hinahanap ng employer. Tapos meron pa nga na pasok na pasok sya sa requirements, tipong ten minutes lng sila nagusap ng recruiter kc sobrng fit sya sa kelangan ng client kaso ang ending hindi sya nakapag interview sa client dhl nag internal hiring cla hahaha tapos meron pang isa naman,tipong tumawag today na for tom ang start ng contract, pasok dn sya sa requirement kaso nasa melb naman sya nun eh kaso sa sydney yung client hahaha naku kaya talagang naniniwala ako n may mas magandang plan si lord para sateng lahat.ang ending eh permanent position pa yung nakuha nyang work and mukhang ok naman ang pay for someone with no local experience.


    Sa recruitemnt process po usually tumatawag muna yung recruiter to check yung asking salary tsaka yung experience mo.tapos cgro kung pasok ka sa salary range at sa hinahanap nila na skillset eh either interview muna with recruiter or yung iba derecho na client interview. Yung iba meron pa technical exam before mag client interview. Pero sa case ng hubby ko sa company nya ngayon initially call from recruiter then face to face interview with recruiter then phone interview with client then face to face interview with client. Then after two days ata verbal offer then after one to two days ata email of contract na.

    @kremitz ganyan din halos ako...

    hired na dapat sabay nawala pa...tapos ang daming natawag na recruitment firm to ask mostly about work experience ko before pero no one really asked about my local experience here...para ngang no bearing din kung magkaroon ka ng local experience...

    then one recruiter ang sabi over qualified daw...ang sabi ko naman kahit na over qualified ako, can you please reconsider because i need a job! hehe

    @dhey_almighty umm actually nung interview n hubby inask daw nya kung ano apprehensions nila bat di sya kukunin, parang overqualified dn daw c hubby kc tagal n work exp nya (may sinusunod ata silang level o yrs of exp) at wala local exp. then parang sinabi n hubby n negotiable naman rate nyaeh. Parang may income bracket ata sila n sinusunod depending on yrs of exp. so cgro kung amenable knmn sa salary range nila hindi nmn chro prob kung over qualified ka. Though ky hubby within the asking range naman yung binigay n salary sa kanya.

    Basta wag ka mawalan ng pagasa at for sure god has a better plan for u. Sure yan.just have faith :)
