Hi po! Gano kahelpful yung mga referral letters? Kailangan ba para kaagad makakuha ng job? Thank you!

@Lebford sir so okay lang pala mag apply sa mga recruiters? Si husband kasi flight na nya pabalik sa Brisbane this Jan 9, for good na eto. Now nagpapasa pasa na kami ng CVs pero puro direct hiring lang. Andami nga postings from recruiters pero hesitant kami mag pasa..
Meron 4 o 5 na kaming natanggap na rejection emails. Ung isa sabi need daw nila ng andun na, sa cover letter kasi sinabi naming na overseas pa sya at darating ng Jabuary 10. Ung isa naman, nag respond na inaarrange na ung interview for him kaso nung inulit naming na overseas pa sya, di na nag reply

Nakakalungkot..

@Captain_A #teamsydney na? hehe

Augustoz · December 2016

ram071312 nagsubok ako direct application sa employers and sa job posting ng recruiters and got interviews from both. based sa experience, ok select few recruiters kase malawak network nila and they can match you to openings na usually sila una nakaka-alam, and most companies have ties-up with recruiters who does the shortlisting or pre-screening of candidates for them.

manolo1978 · February 2017

Hello po.. Pde hingi ng advice sa inyo.. I am almost two months na dito sa Perth and hindi pa po ako nkahanap ng trabaho, and I am thinking na makipagsapalaran sa ibang state. Advisable po ba magtransfer ako ng state.. Feeling ko kasi mas maraming opportunities sa Sydney or Melbourne kaysa dito... btw, mechanical engineer po ako at sa power generation ang background ko... Salamat po...

Captain_A · February 2017

@manolo1978

i guess two months is ok pdin, meron dito 6months bago nakahanap job, balita ko quiet month tlga ang dec at january e..

based s nababasa ko, pwede k nmn apply sa ibang state kahit nasa perth ka..

all the best

IslanderndCity · February 2017

@agrande Ang Grande niyo po agrande

Congrats!

manolo1978 · February 2017

@Captain_A Salamat for enlightening. That is what I have been doing. Apply lang ng apply sa ibang states. Sabi kasi ng mga taga-WA, madalang daw ang trabaho dito dahil down ang mining.

Kris_New · February 2017

ganda sa ellenbrook, just saw it in google map photos

jedh_g · February 2017

@Captain_A musta? Yea Ellenbrook is a green and peaceful suburb. What I love are the people which were nice and generous. Plus strategically located near airport, nearby lakes, city and school for my 4 children.
