Desperate Need Help

somasoma BrisbanePosts: 34Member
I'm writing to ask any kindhearted kabayan for assistance in getting a job. I've been in Australia for 2 years, unemployed and struggling to make ends meet since we arrived. I live with my wife and 6 month old baby in the Northern suburbs.

Ang background ko po is Software Engineer, and Business Administration. Mga 1 year po ako nag apply ng iba ibang work, from Mainframe Software Engineer, to fruit picker. Wala po ako maski isang interview. I took up a certificate program sa software testing, pero big pa din. With the little money that we have left, I enrolled in a school called IT Futures dahil may promise sila ng job placement. I took up courses pang IT infrastructure foundation - network at system administration and PC hardware/software troubleshooting, ITIL certificate etc. Unfortunately, the company was mismanaged and they couldn't keep their promise. Hanggang internship lang ang kaya nila iprovide.

Anyway, if may alam kayong opportunity or have the capacity to extend help kindly send me a message. Maraming salamat po!

    Hi @soma, we are on the same boat man. Don't lose hope. It really is challenging and depressing sometimes, I know the feeling too well but we gotta keep trying. Mahirap talaga sa simula kasi di pa stable pero focus lang sa magiging benefits ng lahat ng hard work 20, 30 or 40 years from now, all will be worth it. Apply lang ng apply talaga. I treat job hunting like its my 8-5 Monday to Friday work then break ng weekends just to relax my mind and put everything into perspective.

    I have been applying to other states too. Nilalagay ko sa cover letter ko na I'm willing to move interstate if career opportunities arise kasi parang limited talaga if I only focus on jobs within my area or city.

    Keep the faith man and somewhere out there, meron ding job na para satin.
