Bagong dating lang po kami dito sa Canberra, mga a little over a month pa lang po kami ng asawa ko at baby daughter ko. Got any info as to where I could apply for an Arki Draftsman position na available? Meron po akong nakuha na part time work sa isang fastfood as kitchen hand, but I'm still hoping to apply and get into the Arki and design field if merong chance na darating. Hope to hear from any of you soon. Thanks!

Hello mga taga ACT. Just want to ask kung madali ba kayo nakakuha ng accomodation sa mga nag settle dyan. Ano mga nirequire sa inyo? O nagbayad lang kayo upfront ng kung ilang months yung nasa contract nyo. Thank you

Hello guys!!! Bago lang kami ng wife ko dito sa Canberra at naghahanap po ako ng work related sa career at industry ko. Almost 10 years ako sa Singapore at 6 months sa Philippines na ang field ay sa Construction Industry, bale more on Project Management ang role ko as a Project Manager / Senior Project Engineer / Project Engineer at ang degree ko ay Electrical Engineer. Any recommendation po na mga companies na may job opening kahit Project Engineer - Electrical? Salamat po.

TRY NYO GAWIN ITO MGA BRAD SA PAGHANAP NG TRABAHO:

To find a job in Australia after being granted a visa with work rights, follow these steps before relocating:

(SEARCH) Search for job postings on top Australian job websites such as http://www.seek.com.au
and www.indeed.com.au. Create an account and apply for jobs through the website. Make sure to include keywords from the job postings in your resume, as recruiters use software to filter out applicants who don't match the job requirements. Also, ensure that your resume is up-to-date and follows the Australian format. You can also search for jobs on http://www.linkedin.com and other recruitment agency websites like http://www.hays.com.au.
(SIGN UP) Some companies require you to sign up on their website to apply for a job. Use Google or http://www.aussieweb.com.au to find companies related to your skills. Search for job listings on their websites and attach your resume and cover letter when applying. Your resume should be at least two pages long.
(INVITE TO VIEW YOUR LINKEDIN PROFILE) Create a LinkedIn profile at http://www.linkedin.com
to connect with recruiters, directors, and HR managers. Use the search box to find job recruitment agents in Australia that match your skills and follow companies related to your skills. Make sure to use keywords related to your skills and specify your location. Add a sentence like "looking for a career" and specify that you can start immediately. Australian recruitment agents often use LinkedIn to find job candidates.
(INQUIRE) If you're not getting responses from the above methods, try inquiring with companies directly. Follow the steps in #2 to find companies related to your skills and check if they have a "career" or "employment" page on their website. If they do, look for an email address to send your CV and inquire email, if there is a job opening. If there isn't one, you can still inquire and ask if they could save your resume for future possibilities. Make sure to email the Human Resources department and address the email to them by name, if possible. Better to send the Job inquiry email in the evening on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday so that they can receive it the next morning. If you send it on Thursday, they might not have time to read your email until Friday. And if it's Friday, your email might be at the bottom of their inbox. Note that you can only inquire once with a company. You can repeat it after 6 months or more than one year.

God bless.

Kung nahirapan kayo sa pag-apply ng work sa Canberra na related sa experience ninyo. At kung wala pang job opening at kung allow naman ng visa ninyo na lumipat sa ibang lugar. Try nyo lumipat at magapply sa ibang city pero iwasan nyo ang mga major cities. Para makagaan sa rent ng bahay. Bawas stress at para libre parking fee kahit saan at hindi na kailangan ng barya para makakuha ng trolley sa grocery. I search nyo na lang sa google kung alin yung mga ibang city sa NSW or different states. May mga company naman na hindi nalalayo ang sahod sa sahod ng mga nasa major city dipende sa working experience.

God bless.

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

No worries Rixal28, I'm happy to help.

My advice:

Pray to God (ask for divine protection, covering, wisdom, strength, self-control at iba pa and do daily devotion - may mga apps tulad ng ODB.org (Our Daily Bread)
You have to "Connect" - A. Look sa FB pinoy group sa Canberra na related sa Engineering
B. Look for a Church - If you are Catholic attend Catholic Church &
If you are Christian attend Christian Church. Sigurado ako
may mga Pinoy dun then introduce yourself.
C. Find a friend but choose a friend.
Be a member of Engineers Australia.
Kumuha ng Work health & safety course - 1 day only
Mag apply ng mga IDs - like Driver's license and identity cards, library cards at iba pa.
Pumunta sa City library or sa mga website ng ACT government mag research baka may mga offer dun na free training to improve your skills at lalo sa Australian english speaking para ma-boost ang confident.
isipin mo na yung mga nagastos mo ay ito ay "Investment" at maibabalik din naman yan kapag naka pag work kana.
Check again your CV make sure hanggang 2 pages lang. at paki-review ulit ng maigi yung 4 tips na binigay ko dito to find a Job sa taas. I try ko i-details pag may time ako sa susunod. Naghahanap ako nung sasabihin ko na lang na nakarecord sa mp3 para explain ko ng maigi.

God bless.

Hello po, one tip, when we arrived here in Australia wala rin po work yung husband ko, nagsubmit sya ng mga resume nya sa linkedin/jobstreet pero walang swerte walang tumatawag for more than a month. Then, he came across with this local work agency (Collar), submitted his resume, tinwagan sya and the agency scheduled an interview with the prospect employer and yung first interview nya, nakapasok agad sya. Better hanap po kayo ng work agencies jan sa state kung asan po kayo kasi based on my husband's experience, mas mabilis ang feedback ng mga agencies kasi commissioned based sila, hahanapan ka talaga nila ng work na related sayo.

Thanks
