Issue ba sa australia ang pagging unemployed for a certain period of time?

dhey_almighty · November 2014

@acrossborder issue?!

issue un for you, as far is government is concerned, wala naman...so if unemployed ka, kelangan marami ka baon... :-)

cholle · November 2014

@acrossborder I don't think it's an issue. Syempre mas gusto ng gobyerno na bumalik sa workforce ang mga matagal nang natengga. As long as your skill set / qualifications match *almost exactly* what they need, employers will be interested. Otherwise you have to really sell yourself, i.e. have a nicely tweaked resume, and do well in the interview.

sonsi_03 · November 2014

@acrossborder they (prospect employers) might ask you what have you done on those times that you were unemployed. medyo magdadalawang-isip sila.

cholle · November 2014

@sonsi_03 @acrossborder As long as valid naman yung reason for not working (e.g. child care, nag-alaga ng may sakit, nag-aral, sabbatical, etc.), I suppose they'll understand it if they feel that you are highly qualified for the job.

when you 'tweak' your resume in every job application and the recipient is the same (example: same headhunter, or when you're applying multiple jobs in the same company), any tips on how to 'nicely tweak' your resume?

Read the job description very well, and see whether your skill set really matches what they need. Then you can use similar terms from the job description in your resume.

how about when you're applying for 2 or more positions directly sa website or HR ng isang company lang?

Ganun din. Pero alam mo, never pa ako naging successful sa ganyan, yung tipong dalawang posisyon ang inapplyan sa isang company. Never had a call back. Baka yung iba may success stories sa ganyan.

medyo malabo nga kasi it will appear obvious na 'customize' ang resume mo sa each job description na bigay nila kasi isa lang ang recipient

Hi @graciecrazy09 - rather than solicit for sample CV and cover letter dito, I would suggest you take a look at the internet. there are a lot of samples all over, you just have to see and check what works for you...

All the best!!

Newleaf2014 · March 2015

Brothers and sisters, may natisod akong goldmine info source on job hunting in Australia. Good read ito - http://careerpotentialaustralia.com.au/
I think usung-uso dito yung resume writing service so kailangan mag invest na rin sa ganung service to increase our chances. Pati daw yung mag volunteer job on the side para magpakilala sa potential employers.

jen11xx · April 2015

Hello

Baka may RN po dito from Pinas who's working as an AIN, Personal Carer, or Home Care Worker dito sa Australia? I'm looking for a job kasi. Magtatanong lang po ng info. Especially, ones from the Sunshine Coast?

Thank you!

Don't lose hope, makikita mo din ang para sayo soon. May casual job ka ba while waiting for the job that you are aiming for?

huggybear · April 2015

@rara_avis wala akong work kahit casual wala…nag apply na ako saan saan ni sa warehouse, cashier, sa sinehan… wala talaga.. ni hindi ako ininterview rejection email lang na rereceive ko. dito pala ako sa canberra. ngaun nag hahanap na rin ako work sa melbourne at sydney kasi wala tlaga eh nga nga…buti ung asawa ko may work kaya go with the flow lang. hindi kasi ako sanay na sa haus lang at asa sa asawa.

cpa_8k · April 2015

Hi @huggybear!may i know what is your profession?

thanks

huggybear · April 2015

@cpa_8k Hello, I used to work in Singapore as an IT Project Coordinator or PMO support po. as of now, I am currently a plain housewife. ;;)

brixx89 · April 2015

Any body tried studying further like taking short courses sa TAFE to increase landing jobs? share naman ng infos

sonsi_03 · April 2015

@brixx89 nagbalak akong mag apprenticeship during my first 2 months just to have an experience pero na realize ko parang back to square one yun since i was aiming for electrician license (electrotechnology trades) would take 4 years to finish the apprenticeship so naisip ko wag na lang. downside, mas mababa ang hour rate pag walang lisensya.

its good to get a course or further study as long as me pang sustain habang wala pang work. my wife took medical receptionist course for 6 weeks and she's preparing now to apply for jobs related to this course.

age care would also be an option. me mga 6 weeks lang tinatagal and minsan free pa sa course fee. just saying, mate. cheers!

brixx89 · April 2015

thanks @ sonsi_03

kremitz · April 2015

try to apply for entry level jobs muna para lang magka local experience. then tailor fit your cv. ako every application ineedit ko talaga cv ko ang cover letter para mas fit dun sa requirements.

just_g29 · April 2015

@huggybear nkakarelate ako sayo.. November 2014 kami dumating dito and until now wala pa ako work.. let's hope and pary na dumating na soon..

athenalady14 · April 2015

@huggybear and @just_g29: ako almost a year na dito and just recently got an odd jod at casual pa. Super disappointing and frustrating ung feeling. Mahina rin kasi ang loob ko walk in pero it works esp odd jobs. Nagtry ako dati magwalk in sa mga factory and luckily nakapagwork ako dun pero one week lng ako pinapasok. Suwerte din I got this job now kasi may nagrefer sa akin.. Referral talaga is the best kaya need talaga madaming network.

Im currently doing a Diploma course online. Pero sabi ng marami Age Care daw ung pinakamaganda kasi maraming need at mabilis lang matapos. Im still on a temporary resident visa kaya costly pa sa akin mag aral, kaya tiis tiis lng.
