(not sure if I can post a link though) Kung burahin ng mods ang link sorry, but just google Australian CV sample, at marami kayo makikita
http://career-advice.careerone.com.au/resume-cover-letter/resume-writing/resume-writing-the-basics/article.aspx
at sa Australian skype number naman, gawa lang kayo ng skype account, then hanapin nyo yung "get a skype number" (paid service, mura lang naman, 3 months subscription kinuha ko). may option dun na pipili kayo ng area code within Australia, of course choose area code ng destination nyo. If you have the number, employers can call you as if they're calling a local Australian number, so convenient for them (make sure you are always online, but usually employers will set an appointment with you to call).
I sent in five applications last week and got an email from an employer yesterday, so bukas umaga meron akong skype interview!! yay!! hope all goes well.
good luck batchmates sa mga jobhunting na. Just make sure you spend enough time re-writing your cv and cover letter, and please update us sa forum. Thanks!!
