karamihan sa mga PR na nagpunta dito e wala pang mga jobs sa particular fields nila...kaya ung iba, like me e odd jobs muna to survive...
kung marami kang baon, financially, pwede rin naman na tambay lang muna while waiting for the right job for you...
But i would suggest na mag-odd job ka na lang muna while waiting for the right job...para hinde ka ma-bored at kahit paano e to gain "local" experience :-)

as for the interview naman, usually may 3 interviews, yung una parang "getting to know" you. job history mo, career goals etc,.. second interview very technical, sometimes written or minsan hands-on, puedeng same day kung ok ka sa first interview or some other time. Last interview is with Job offer na.
Nung January halos puro gang first interview lang ako pero nung last week na ng jan, nakakasecond interview na ko till I got the job offer.
I think may ibang company nga na may doubt pa sa newly migrants, kahit na pasok ka sa skills nila especially yung mga smaller companies. One suggestion lang for newly migrants
is highlight mo yung how immigration process your PR during interview, I told them that I passed the english exam, my qualifications and work experience were successfully assessed by Australia Computer Society before I got the PR and so far halos nagkaroon ako ng second interviews na

It takes a lot of effort to make sure employers will notice you. I applied for hundreds of jobs and went to a handful of interviews. You have to tailor-made your resume to your applications. You have to be early and prepared for your interviews (and sayang sa pamasahe if rejected T_T).
Confidence in proving you are suitable for the position and that you can exceed their expectations. It's a bit intimidating at first, pero practice makes perfect.
Prayers all the way. Amen.
It was pretty hard as I have a temporary visa and this would cause some employers to automatically turn me down. It was disheartening at first. But you have to keep fighting or else talo ka.
After three months, countless emails to and from Seek, and a number of rejections, I landed a job (Business Analyst) that I like and still currently hold.

Wow ang galing. Penski, I'm also in IT particularly in Cisco Network Technologies. I am bound to Brisbane this April and I am a bit worried about Jobs for Network Engineers. I wonder if you can share the bad and the good in IT recruitment right now before I submit my resignation. I saw from statistics that there are no Shortage of workers for Computer Network and Systems engineer which means that there is a heavy competition for each vacant position. Madame ang applicant for each vacant position.
Any input from other members? thanks.

pinoy newcomers pa lang yan, add-in the other pinoys who are already in Oz and yung iba pang lahi, and there’s a mix of a pretty tight competition.

don't over think about the competition. I must say that 75% of your chance in landing a job here relies on how you create your resume. I can only tell from my line of work, pero I can say kulang talaga ang skilled worker dito on some specialized fields. Mapapansin ka talaga if your resume only talks on what they exactly need. Kung ano lang yong hinihingi na skill sa job post, yon lang ang ilagay mo. Don't make your resume broad. Be skill specific. Paiba iba dapat ang resume mo depende sa trabaho. If it is necessary to change your job title to pattern Australian job titles do it (e.g. dont just say Building Engineer, say Mechanical Services Engineer, etc) And don't ever ever put something na hindi mo talaga alam or medyo alam mo lang.
Some jobs take time to fill. Some of the jobs I applied 4 months ago are just starting to return to me. Minsan kasi, pooling rin lang sila. Hanggat di pa naaaward ang project on hold muna. Kaya hindi masama mag odd jobs muna. Even my colleagues, noong nag sara ang mga previous companies nila, odd jobs muna habang naghihintay ng tawag. Inaabot rin sila buwan bago makabalik sa old industry nila.
Magbaon ng napaka raming lakas ng loob. my wife took 6 months to land a job to think her projects are called "iconic" and renowned worldwide (im not bragging just stating the fact). Pero nasa timing kasi talaga. Even you have the skills hanggat wala pang opening, wait wait lang. Just make sure your resume is polished!
All the best

Thanks for the comments @wizardofOz at @Gft_SG. Appreciate the advise.
I also would like to hear from those who are on the same field that are currently in Australia, hopefully they can share something.

Sakin naman I dont see the competition as deterrent sa gagawin kong paghanap ko ng work. Mas nakikita ko sya positively in the sense na mas paghahandaan ko ang pag-aapply...
For instance, ang thinking ko kasi is, I could make my CV as bullseye as possible to the Job being posted.. pero the bigger question is yung competition ko ba hindi naisip na gawing tailor-fit as possible din yung CV nya?
In other words, we're all in a level playing field and halos lahat pare-pareho ng strategy... Ano kayang "edge" yung pwede kong maipakita? Yun yung mas focus ko.
Its also true na kailangan maraming baon na lakas ng loob, diskarte, kaunting swerte, at maraming dasal.
