    Phew. I'm very happy to say na nakahanap ako ng work in less than 3 weeks since I got here in Sydney. Medyo madugo talaga yung process ng pag aapply lalo na yung pag aantay kung may tatawag ba o wala. Haha. Sa mga naghahanap pa, be patient lang talaga and madaming madaming dasal.

    Some tips I got from a friend in Sydney who works in I.T. :

    1. The following are the platforms that recruiter used to advertise jobs in the I.T. industry
    Seek
    Indeed
    CareerOne
    LinkedIn
    AdZuna

    Visit these sites daily. Download their app. If you get a chance to look for a job outside of Victoria, apply pa rin.

    There are some regional places in AU that are sometimes desperate for a developer with specific skills. If you fit the bill, they might even re-imburse your travel expenses just to live on that state.

    If you see a job post that has a phone number in it, send your CV AND THEN make a call, inquire then and there but be polite and courteous.

    Umiwas sa GumTree for I.T. jobs, there are a lot of dodgy posts in GumTree. You don't want to have your hopes up and then find out it's a scam.

    2. Format your resume Aussie style. There are a lot of templates online to do this, keep your CV to 2 pages long.

    3. Update your LinkedIn account. Australian I.T. recruiters main source of leads are Seek, LinkedIn and referrals. If they see that you still have an overseas address hindi nila papansinin ang LinkedIn account mo. Make sure to put your contact details in LinkedIn. Make sure your CV is downloadable from your LinkedIn profile.

    4. When a recruiter emails you, get their full name and add them on LinkedIn. Don't be shy, this is what LinkedIn was created for. Look at their connections also and add anyone with the title "Recruiter". Go crazy, add all the Aussie recruiter that you can find in LinkedIn. This will increase your visibility to them and they will have a look at your LinkedIn profile/CV. Go aggressive on putting yourself out there, everyone who doesn't have a job are doing the same thing so those who does not have local experience are at a disadvantage.

    5. Contact anyone you know in the I.T. industry. Ask if they have openings. Ask if they know anyone who have openings. Ask where they found the ad for their job. As much as recruiters are getting leads, you should also increase your chance for a lead yourself.

    6. Go for Odd Jobs/Volunteer work that are somewhat related to your field. Maybe help the elderly learn how to use facebook (check the aged care industry in AU). Or maybe do volunteer work. Once this is done, update your LinkedIn and add this to your CV. Instant local experience plus work reference. This can mean the difference between landing an interview or not.

    Got lucky enough to receive a job offer while still here in SG..
    Started sending out resumes (thru seek and indeed) around mid-June of this year after fulfilling my initial entry. I used an OZ number (roaming) sa applications ko at medyo magastos kasi if tatawagan ka, mahal ang rates. Naka-ilang top-up rin sa load.

    Sabihin na nating out of the 100 applications sent:
    90% rejections
    5% tumawag pero once alam na wala pa ako sa OZ, sinabihan ako na tumawag lang if nasa OZ na
    4% agent Tumawag at preliminary interview pero hindi na nagproceed sa employer interview
    1% ang nagproceed sa employer interview and lucky enough, may offer agad.. (siguro tsamba lang talaga)

    @momnijosh08 , it may not be that possible to get the same job or line of work we had before..so i opted for a good paying job that I can actually do and be good at. Cooking is also my hobby way back home.. so I went to the hospitality sector here and see how it goes...so far Im getting the hang of it..line cook to maybe qualified chef in due time

    @momnijosh08 , dito po kmi sa redcliffe peninsula...hospitality and aged care ang common industry dito. Others are welding and construction...but those needs trade qual to be hired.
    Im a tesda NC2 welder as well but no local exp din..kaya I opted for kitchen staff...i tried to show how we pinoys work really hard and at the same time they seem to know that we are good and smart workers..(madami kmi pinoy sa work..may isang pinoy na events manager)..kaya I was given the chance to train as line cook...sa tulong ng Diyos.
