Visa 189/190 holder and Looking for a Job while still outside of AU

LittleBoyBlueLittleBoyBlue North RydePosts: 334Member
edited October 2012 in Working in Australia
Meron na ba dito Visa 189/190 holder na nakakuha ng work while still outside AU? Either nag-initial entry kayo tapos lumabas din kagad or hindi pa nakakapag-initial entry and may job offer na kagad bago pa lumapag ng AU?

Kung kayo ay isa sa mga mapapalad na nagkaroon ng work bago lumapag ng AU? i-kuwento nyo naman experience nyo at ng makakuha kami ng tip sa job hunting habang wala pa kami ng AU.

    Hey guys! may mga tumawag rin sa akin maybe around 5 na headhunters in total nung nasa pinas pa ako pero hindi rin nag push thru kasi yung iba urgent na talaga kailangan, yung iba naman di ako fit sa kailangan ng client nila.

    Pero maganda na magapply habang wala pa dito sa australia, tiyaga lang at good luck baka sakaling makakuha diba? Tama si @LittleBoyBlue na ilagay niyo na sa address niyo yung aussie address if meron na =)

    hi all!!! i applied online before flying in, and got a number of calls from head-hunters. Yung unang nag-phone interview sa akin ang eventually nakapagbigay ng work. But they interviewed me personally the day after I landed. It all depends on the market and how fit your skills are to the job requirements. Tiyagain niyo lang, and may tatawag din sa inyo. Kahit wala pang job per se, at least you will be able to establish contacts and even schedule interviews. :)

    May kausap ako sa TRC group (headhunter sila) and ang sinabi sakin is tawagan sila pag malapit na dumating, then makakapag-schedule sila ng initial screening. I would recommend kung may ma-contact na kayo na recruiter, i-add nyo na sa linkedin. Kasi pag nasa-linked in nyo na, pwde nyo na i-msg directly. Of course, tuloy tuloy lang kayo sa pag-apply even dun sa direct company, kaso ngayon halos lahat cornered na ng head hunters eh.

    Ang kausap ko usually eh galing Hudson, TRC, Robert Half, SixDegrees sa IT industry kasi ako eh, hindi ko alam sa ibang profession/industry.

    Yung probability na makakuha ng work while outside AU is low, pero pwde natin mapataas yung chances by increasing yung frequency ng pag-apply.

    I've been trying to activate my network eh wala pa rin nag-bubunga, hopefully, soon eh mag-bunga networks ko hehe.

    Hello @021607 - in around 50 days we will be making the big move; having said this, we would want to maximize already the time we have now by applying for a job...

    So far nothing positive pa - in the process pa rin of fine tuning our CV and our linkedin account.

    Would you be able to recommend a good head hunter firm for someone in banking/finance/accounting? Appreciate your inputs! :)

    Clarrification lang... di pala natin defined entry date natin? Pwede rin pala yung 1 year later ka lang pwedeng magentry? Akala ko pag may visa ka na anytime na pwede ka ng magentry?

    @IslanderndCity oo eh, maaga kasi kami nakakuha ng NBI clearance.

    @rareking its either NBI clearance, police clearance or medical report yata ang basehan ng initial entry requirement. sa case namin, feb24,2015 yung IED namin, one week bago maexpire yung sinubmit namin na NBI clearance. so anytime from July (visa grant) until Feb24 next year, need namin mag initial entry, pwedeng for good or bisita lang muna..

    @rareking yih brad... after visa grant, merong required duration para matatakan yung passport mo dun sa Oz, yun yung initial entry date, pag di mo napasok ang land down under within the required time frame, mawawalang bisa ang visa... hehe. so pwedeng sasaglit ka lang dun sa Oz, mga 5 mins, patatak lang, joke. pero pwede ring for good na, para isang byahe nalang basta within the required time frame pa lang... ;-)
    to activate lng ur visa... ;-)
