I have a few relatives in Launceston, Tasmania and they are willing to accomodate us (me and wifey) while hunting for a job. However, being in the IT field I believe the opportunity to land a job are higher in Melbourne or Sydney. We prefer the former. Having said that, eto po mga inquiries namin and hope you can give your inputs:
1. If for example we decided to stay for the time being in Launceston while searching for a job, will the employers still require a face to face interview? Or phone interview will just be fine?
2. If the scenario above is not feasible, our plan is to just visit my relatives there for a week and move to Melbourne afterwards so that we can have a better chances of finding a job. Do you have any other suggestion which could be of some help with our situation?
Maraming salamat po sa replies

Thanks
Ako naman nagpasa pasa ng ilang resume sa Seek. Wala pa naman ako balak lumipat sa AUstralia pero tinetest ko lang ang maket muna. May ilang sumasagot na recruiter,spero preferred daw ng clients nila nsa Australia na ako. Nag invite nalang yung recruiter Linkedin for continous connections
Yung mga CPA sa pinas, ok din tuloy nyo CPA Australia. Tingin ko hindi naman ganun kahirap pero magastos nga lang . Start muna kayo pa assess para maging Associates then may ilang exams for professional path. Ako kasi right now nagiisip kung CPA Australia or CFA path.
Normally sa abroad skillset and experience talaga ang nagdadala, then pang add lang yung certifications unless fresh grad ka or entry level siguro. Then preferred is global certifications or certifications mismo sa bansa na yun. Feeling ko dito sa Singapore walang weight masyado ang pinas certifications even the schools, baka ganun din sa Oz.

Sa experience ko po and sa mga nakwento sakin ng mga mas beterano na dito sa Australia, normally po kapag interesado yun employer tatawagan ka po muna tapos initial phone interview. Pwede din meron sumunod na isa pang phone interview. So if 2 yun, HR + technical. Tapos meron din final/closing interview. Tapos pirmahan na. Hehehehe.

Yup mas maganda po, pero meron naman po mga exceptional na individuals like sa katauhan nina @icebreaker, na nasa Pinas pa lang kinukuha na ng mga employer. Haha.

nakita nya ang ads sa linked-in.
ayun pagdating nya dito may work na rin sya agad.

pero I will ask my husband to try direct hiring. pero most of his applications are directly submitting CVs through the company's job portal pero na-route sya sa mga headhunters nila.
