daffles · June 2018

@iamvee nice! same situation, hiningan ako ng referees at nacontact na sila. been looking for a job in 3 months now. hoping for positive results. Godspeed on your first day at work.

thatbadguy · July 2018

Been looking for jobs for two months now, wala pa ring tumatawag. Nakaka disappoint actually hahay.

VirGlySyl · July 2018

@thatbadguy anu pong profession sila?

thatbadguy · July 2018

@VirGlySyl Electrical Engineer po. I've been applying for technician jobs but they require a license, i've been applying for engineer roles but they require to be a chartered member of Engineers Australia (which you can easily get if you finished your bachelors degree of engineering here). Kaya medyo nakaka frustrate sa part ko. I live in Queensland by the way which strictly requires license on whatever you do kaya nakaka frustrate. Im thinking of trying a different field or maybe moving to a different state. An office job is okay for me but I prefer field jobs but its so hard to penetrate the market at the moment kaya nakaka frustrate

@thatbadguy hi po..saan po kayo sa qld? andito po ako sa northside ng brisbane..one month narin ako dito pero wala paring nakitang job para sa akin..

thatbadguy · July 2018

@lottysatty I live in Hamilton. Ano pong profession niyo?

lottysatty · July 2018

@thatbadguy Business analyst ako sa pinas..marami naring business analyst jobs ang inapplayan ko..nagapply din ako ng admin assistant pero wala parin..we arrived here last june 5 with family..apply lang tayo nang apply..we are considering cleaning jobs na rin..

bookworm · July 2018

@thatbadguy try looking for jobs in the telecom industry, especially since nbn is happening.

@lottysatty try mo din technical writer. Yan ang field ko dito but it took me years to get into the field. Junior pinasok ko pero awa ng Dyos, napasok ko din ang field. San ka based? Andami kasi opening ng business analyst/technical writers.

kat123 · July 2018

anong chances kaya na iconsider ng employers yung experience mo sa ibang country, say Canada? Ganto din ngyari sakin sa Canada laging looking for local experience. ilang buwan din ako natengga don bago ako nkahanap ng maayos na work.

bookworm · July 2018

@kat123 depende sa field. There are some jobs that do not require local experience. For example, IT. But there are some jobs that you need local experience for local policies or regulations. Anong field mo?

brucedenz · July 2018

Hi all, same here 1 month naq d parin mkhanap ng work 12 years aq sa pinas for accounting and finance but puro rejections

dyanisabelle · July 2018

@kat123 I only had my PH work experience when I was applying here. May mga companies na gusto nila may local work experience na, meron naman hindi required basta very related yung work experience mo sa hinahanap nila. Natuwa nga ako dito sa current work ko kasi nung ininterview ako at nagtanong ako about my certifications, sabi niya mas interested daw ang companies dito sa work experience kaysa sa mga certifications.

All around ako lol. 6 yrs ako sa finance/bank sa pinas then sa Canada pinakamahaba kong experience sa office admin sa provincial government don. pero before that nag call center ako don at sa inventory control.

May plan ako maging CPA here sa Australia kaso ayoko nman kc magenroll ng walang work at magastos din sya.

batman · July 2018

@kat123 there are companies who subsidized the tuition for the qualification.

thatbadguy · July 2018

@dyanisabelle if you dont mind my asking, in which field of profession po kayo?

dyanisabelle · July 2018

@thatbadguy i nominated internal auditor as my occupation but I'm now working as a data analytics consultant. Hehe

Megger · July 2018

@dyanisabelle gaano katagal ka naghanap ng work?

dyanisabelle · July 2018

@Megger 2 weeks po

two companies interviewed me, I was just lucky that the 2nd company is a perfect fit. Medyo niche din kasi yung work ko sa pinas and sakto na yun ang hinahanap nila.

My bf is a chef, he got a job after a week naman, full time position as well. Malaki demand sa chef sa Sydney. Hehe.

flexihopper18 · July 2018

parang nakakatakot

kat123 · July 2018

got my second rejection letter today. ni di man lng ako pumasa for interview ammp

thatbadguy · July 2018

@kat123 i have been applying for jobs for two months now. I always receive rejection letters. They won't even give me a chance for an interview to know if I am really capable of what they are after. Nakaka frustrate but let's not give up. There is something for us out there. Pray and continue pushing.

kat123 · July 2018

so I had my first ever interview today via skype sa recruiter muna. ang saya saya ko pa naman nung nagemail sila ng invite sa interview kasi pumasa daw ako sa screening. tpos 30 mins before the interview tinawagan ako nagpapasend ng resume. wala daw akong sinend na resume nung nagapply ako lol. so parang lumalabas lahat tnatanggap nla kaya in a way maganda na din at least nagkachance ako na mainterview.

gustong gusto ko pa nman tong job kc super lapit sakin. malayo sya sa city pero ang lapit sa bahay like 10 mins lng. hay sana makuha ako pero doubt ako. ang dami pa daw nyang iinterviewhin.

tinanong ako sa sweldo sbi ko ok ako sa nkapost sa ad. then sbi nya actually depende sa experience yan. tapos yung sinabi nyang amount 25k more than sa nkapost sa ad anu be yan. nahiya pakong sbhn ung gusto ko ung pnakamataas tpos mas mataas pa pala dun ung kaya nilang ibigay. haha

anyways try nyo din apply kyo sa recruiter na employmentoffice.com.au

batman · July 2018

@thatbadguy anong industry ka?

thatbadguy · July 2018

@batman electrical engineering bro. hirap makapasok sa technical jobs kasi need ng license, its either drafter na lang or estimator.

thatbadguy · July 2018

Yes

Megger · July 2018

@thatbadguy , Sir, musta paghahanap ng work? Ask ko lang ano mga licenses ang kailangan, ano mga preparations para makakuha at magkano? Hehehe. Sensya na dami tanong. God bless sa job hunting...
