Hi, anong pwedeng gawin habang naghahanap ng work? Medyo bored na sa bahay e haha
nakapag tour na rin ng Sydney.

Naisip ko mag odd jobs kaso 3 months usually yung contract. Paano kung may nahanap ng work in the next few weeks? Kailangan pa rin hintayin matapos yung 3 months contract right?

    I haven't made my big move yet, but here are my plans for when I am still looking for a job. You might want to consider doing them as well:

    1. Enrol in a short/certificate course through TAFE or other RTOs.

    2. Volunteer through Seek Volunteer. (https://volunteer.com.au/)

    3. Attend events in the local community.

    4. Look for odd jobs. (Meron akong nakikitang odd jobs sa Seek na hindi contractual, so baka pwedeng ganun rin muna gawin mo, kung ayaw mong matali ng tatlong buwan.)

    it doesnt matter kung 3 months ang contract basta "casual" ang status you can resign anytime pag nakahanap ka na ng suitable job as per your skill.

    Hope this helps.

    hi @kittykitkat18

    yup, walang openings sa specialization ko ngayon :( nung Feb maraming ads e, nag apply pa rin ako kahit 30 days+ old yung ad pero hindi na nag reply. filled na siguro?

    may nabasa ako na bootcamp for software testers, try ko rin. sana tanggapin ako kahit walang background sa testing (haggang unit testing lang kasi)
