@Silhouette - hello boss, a month in Oz na I reckon? May I know where specifically ka sa Australia? And what was your specific accounting work experience before moving down under?

Hi @silhouette have the same problem. Been here for 5 months but no luck so far. Only interviews.
May mga interviews ka naman? Have you tried to register with recruitment agencies?
But i took a MYOB basic course last month and ive started my CPA studies na. Im currently taking financial reporting segment. Hoping makapasa *fingers crossed*

Hi @stonehenge! Thank you for your kind wishes! Ive worked in SGV and meralco while im in PH then went to Dubai to work for 4 years before coming to AU. Yes I have tried applying while im in Dubai. Sa experience ko, most of the recruiters prefer na andito na sa Australia. If you have already tried applying while outside AU, you might get an email saying that the position is only open to applicants who are presently residing in AU and asking you to inform them once your residential circumstances changed.
About sa mga list of recruiters, cannot say which ones are trusted for me kasi as of now they haven't help me yet. Pero yung mga top recruiters are Michael Page, Robert Walters, Lloyd Morgan, Hays. I have tried to register to any recruitment agencies na may job ad sa SEEK. Yung iba pag tumawag ka to ask that you want to be registered with them, they will just ask you to send your resume thru their website, yung iba they will invite you for an interview to have an initial assessment of your qualifications. Which is useful for me to increase my network here and to practice na din answering interview questions.
Thru online lang ko kumuha ng MYOB course. Usually kasi, SMEs here uses MYOB as accounting system and most of the jobs in the market today are from SMEs. Pero mas ok pa din if you are familiar with large ERP systems like Oracle, SAP, JD Edwards coz it means you might get hired by blue chip companies.
If you want to apply while outside AU, try to apply directly sa mga companies than thru recruitment agencies. Mas patient sila to wait for you to arrive kung mahire ka while outside AU.
But hey, this is my luck so far. And it might be different from your's or someone else's.

may mga interview na rin ako pero hanggang dun pa lang, more than a month pa lang kami dito. i am thinking na kumuha ng certificate iv sa bookkeeping na may BAS and PAYG kasi yun yung nakikita kong mga entry-level positions dito kaso matagal yung course.
@Silhouette Hi! baka di lang sya matagal, baka magastos din. Dun sa MYOB course, may BAS preparation na module, so kung familiar ka na sa pag prepare ng income tax returns sa pinas, you will find it the same (basic concepts are the same naman) PAYG is same with Withholding taxes naman. If you prepare both of them previously, you can mention it in your resume and cover letter.
SilhouetteSydney Posts: 89Member Joined: May 10, 2012
yeah magastos nga, parehas lang pala. thanks hehehe... kelan kaya tayo makahanap ng work, nababagot na ko
Hello po, I work as a Finance Manager for 3 years now but Management Accounting ang course na tinapos ko, pwede ba akong magpa-assess nyan sa CPA Australia or saan kaya pwedeng magpa-assess kung sakaling hindi pupwede sa CPA Australia? I also worked as Sales & Marketing Manager for 5 years before landing on my current job.

mahirap din maghanap dito sa queensland, although dito kami sa cairns, regional na sya para libre bahay namin, pero naghanap na rin ako sa brisbane with no luck so far. Good luck sa job hunt mo.

hello po. tanong lang po regarding sa assessment sa accounting since nandiyan na po kau sa oz at napagdaanan nyo na po ang pag-apply dyan. were you advise po to take up aus law and taxation? saan nyo po kinuha ung dalawang subject? mahal po ba? salamat po ng marami. still processing po my papers n i still have a long way to go. at sana po makapahanap na po kau ng work dyan. god bless po.

hi po. ano po ba ang requirements nila for accounting job pra matanggap? mas prefer po ba nila na local ang i-hire? kailangan po ba na may local experience ka bago ka nila i-hire? thanks po ng marami. curious lang po pra naman makapaghanda just in case po palarin na makapag-migrate dyan. god bless po!
@sticky_note hi! You can check sa job ad kun ano ang requirements nila and sabi ng isang recruitment manager sa isang seminar na npuntahan ko, employers now are looking for an applicant that will match ALL of those requirements kasi nga mas competitive ang job market ngayon than before. at importante ang local exp, coz employers prefer it. so pagdating mo dito, the 1st challenge is how to get a local exp. pro may mga company na they will still consider you for the job as long as you have the relevant experience. Kaso bhira yun at consider for an interview pa lang yun. So depende pa din sa kasabayan mo sa interview na may local exp.

@sticky_note Its just a personal opinion. Kasi im an OFW. In all country, Tax and laws are iba. I was thinking it might assist me to land a job sooner kz nga time ng initial entry ko rto, e maraming nagsabi na freeze hiring. tooks me almost 3 months to land a job. sa website, iba2x price ng uni, mga 2k+ per subject po.

The wife's migration assessment from CPA Australia has just been finalized (although the outcome was not specified in her account online).
I tried some minutes back to call their number and check for the results however the person said that they cannot divulge the information over the phone. We need to wait for a few more days I guess when we receive their mail.
More or less, I have already planned out a plan B in case this will not be successful...

About sa mga list of recruiters, cannot say which ones are trusted for me kasi as of now they haven't help me yet. Pero yung mga top recruiters are Michael Page, Robert Walters, Lloyd Morgan, Hays. I have tried to register to any recruitment agencies na may job ad sa SEEK. Yung iba pag tumawag ka to ask that you want to be registered with them, they will just ask you to send your resume thru their website, yung iba they will invite you for an interview to have an initial assessment of your qualifications. Which is useful for me to increase my network here and to practice na din answering interview questions.
Thru online lang ko kumuha ng MYOB course. Usually kasi, SMEs here uses MYOB as accounting system and most of the jobs in the market today are from SMEs. Pero mas ok pa din if you are familiar with large ERP systems like Oracle, SAP, JD Edwards coz it means you might get hired by blue chip companies.
If you want to apply while outside AU, try to apply directly sa mga companies than thru recruitment agencies. Mas patient sila to wait for you to arrive kung mahire ka while outside AU.
But hey, this is my luck so far. And it might be different from your's or someone else's.

I tried some minutes back to call their number and check for the results however the person said that they cannot divulge the information over the phone. We need to wait for a few more days I guess when we receive their mail.
More or less, I have already planned out a plan B in case this will not be successful...
Cheers!
