I'm having difficulty finding a job.

Hi @Pinoy_Imphotep thanks for your reply. I am a chemical engineer. What would I include in my CV then if I am applying for cafe or cleaning staff? Do I need to exclude my technical skills since it would not apply to the position?

Pinoy_Imphotep · March 2019

@fioning1120 Just keep every vital info that you would like to share and know by the your prospect employer. By that, they'd would know what kind of applicant you are and for sure they'd be curious on why you are applying for such job way that is way too far from your field or experience. That's up to you on how you're going to deliver and let them know of your situation and concern & interest in joining their company during your face-to-face interview with them. Whats important is you have to catch their attention and once you caught their attention by being called for an interview, you've just done 50% of your objective in job hunting. Achieving the remaining 50% in order to make it 100% and being offered for a job will depends on how you presented yourself during the interview and ofcourse with their assessment on how they could benefit from you you being their employee.

@Pinoy_Imphotep Ok, now I know what to do. This is of great help. Thank you for your kind advise.

Pinoy_Imphotep · March 2019

@fioning1120 You're welcome. I'm just returning the kind gesture to others like you, as I've been also seeking answers to my concern where other members in this forum who are also so kind in shedding their helpful input/information.

As this wisdom says "A simple act of kindness creates an endless ripple".

Share ko lng. pang grocery din to. sana makatulong

Sino po sa inyo naghahanap ng extra income? mag susurvey ka lng tapos babayaran ka nila ng AUD or points na pwede ipalit sa gift card. wala naman syang bayad pero yung ibang survey medyo mahaba. kung wala ka naman ginagawa pwede na to pampalipas oras.

nasa baba po yung link for registration. itong dalawa palang po yung proven na nagbabayad tlaga. Free po ito. walang bayad.

@fioning1120 Hi, resume with work exprience na hindi detailed. Be creative in your cover letter instead and include any experiences related to the odd job you are applying.

fioning1120 · April 2019

@agentKams Ok po. Will do this. Thank you.

Megger · May 2019

@fioning1120 , kumusta na paghahanap? Saang state ka. Ako din nag hahanap ng work kararating ko lang sa Sydney. Guys ano website madalas pinupuntahan nyo maliban sa seek sa job search? Thanks.

Cassey · May 2019

@Megger Try indeed and or try to search up individual websites of companies related to your field. I hope you find work in the soonest possible time.

Cassey · May 2019

@dreamon Thanks for sharing. How long have you been using these paid surveys for?

fioning1120 · May 2019

@Megger Hi. Eto naghahanap parin while andito pa sa Pinas. Sa June pa kami pupunta ng husband ko sa Melbourne. May mga nakakausap kaming recruiters/headhunters at ischedule namin na imeet sila pag karating dun. Hopefully makahanap rin agad.

lilith · May 2019

hello! ask ko lang if may "postcode discrimination" sa mga employers if you currently live in Melbourne but applying for positions in Sydney?

batman · May 2019

@lilith unless specified in job post that applicants must be living in the relevant state it is being advertised.

Captain_A · May 2019

@lilith generally wala nmn..pwede mo nmn state s cover letter open for relocation.

agentKams · May 2019

@lilith hindi namn discrimination but they prefer those who have "local" experience in the area, lalo na kung specialize area ang occupation. Iyan ang pagkakaexplain sa husband ko nung recruitment specialist when he was on an interview,kasi he has all the Australian local experience na kailangan dun sa position but then hanggang phone interview lang siya. Lagi din niya sinasabi nung can fly ASAP to the location. pero waley. hehe

lilith · May 2019

@agentKams @batman @Captain_A salamat! 3 months na kasi nagaapply bokya pa rin! pero push pa rin! haha! andito na eh!

anne18 · May 2019

Hello sino po kaya dito nasa supply planning field? mahirap po ba maghanap ng work? :-)

Megger · May 2019

may nakakuha ba dito ng verbal reasoning at numerical reasoning test? How did you prepare?

ramzy101 · May 2019

Hello po. Anybody here na nagtry magapply online while processing his/her 189 visa? Gusto ko malaman kung possible ba na mahire ka bago ka makarating dun. Kasi nakakatakot pumunta na walang kasiguraduhan. Baka maubos pera mo din. Im an MLT/MLS so kung may mga kaparehas ako na sa field na yan na makakasagot. That would help. Thanks in advance!

alfonso31 · May 2019

@ramzy101 in my opinion hindi ka nila ipriprioritize if wla ka pang visa and mostly sa mga online application may screening question agad sila na are you Australian citizen or permanent residency and any working rights to work in Australia. So if no sagot mo wla ka na agad sa possible short listed applicants. Take note: khit PR na hirap pa rin makahanap ng work khit qualified sa position na inaapplayan based on my experience dagdag mo pa na andito na ko mismo hirap pa rin.

ramzy101 · May 2019

@alfonso31 Nakakapanghinayang naman sir. Sana makahanap ka soon. So kinailangan mo magapply sa ibang work muna or still looking?

alfonso31 · May 2019

@ramzy101 nag try na dn ako ng mga odd jobs, di ko alam bkit wla pa rn ako tawag khit sa ibang field. Cguro mas prefer nla yung may experience na. Kya if plan mo mag migrate d2 dpat prepared ka at least 6 months na wla kang work.

Hunter_08 · May 2019

@ramzy101 tama si @alfonso31 hindi ganun kadali makahanap agad ng same field mo dito maski PR ka na pero meron pa din naman sinuswerte at nakakakuha agad ng work but you have to be prepared financially at emotionally kasi challenging talaga paghahanap ng work. malaking bagay yung network dito kasi mas mabilis ka ma hire kung may backer or kakilala ka.

@alfonso31 sa mga inaapplyan mo bang odd jobs inaalter mo yung cv mo para swak sa hinahanap nila?

ramzy101 · May 2019

@Hunter_08 and @alfonso31 thank you guys sa input niyo. How much money would you say is enough for me to stay there while looking for a job?

batman · May 2019

@ramzy101 do a research of cost of living. Like rent, food, electricity, transpo, insurance, entertainment etc. Data are available online for each state / location you intend to stay. Depends on your lifestyle, family size if applicable. Each one has different case.

alfonso31 · May 2019

@Hunter_08 oo nag revised nman ako ng cv kaso prang biodata lng cya kc wla nman ako experience sa ibang field kya very simple lng cv ko bka kya wlang tawag saken..

Hunter_08 · May 2019

@alfonso31 kung inaapplyan mo nakalagay na need ng experience mukang hindi ka talaga tatawagan kaya much better kung yung aapplyan mo is okay lang maski no experience. at mas Malaki chance mo kung may mga kakilala ka kasi referral dito imporatante at sa experience ko sure na pasok ka. try mo any odd jobs. ako nag start ako sa laborer kasi maski gusto ko yung sa resto na kitchenhand or sa hotels na mga tagal linis hindi ako matanggap dahil wala nga kong exp sa field na yun. ang laborer kasi mostly no need ng exp so tinanggap ko yun para lang may income until nakahanap ako ng work na related na sa field ko.

alfonso31 · May 2019

@Hunter_08 salamat.. yun nga problema mostly need may experienced kaso panu nman mag kakaroon kung di nla bibigyan ng chance.

Chuchay13 · June 2019

hello guys, question lang baka may idea kayo.. kakatangap ko kasi ng job offer and currently on going ung background check, ang plan ko kasi sana habang background check, uuwi sana ako sa pinas tapos babalik nlng mga 2 days bago start date ko. ang worry ko, baka kasi magkaaberya pag wala ako dito sa australia, makita nakaoffshore status ako. thanks you
