just.anotherguy · July 2019

hehehe oo nga kakatuwa, last year mga visa ang inaabangan natin! ok naman dito, laidback hehe. Right place at the right time lang din siguro ako ika nga.. That's good buti may work na c hubby mo.Meron na dumarating na pang daily expenses nyo dyan. Di ko din ineexpect na makakauha agad ako, kasi madami ako kakilala na mas matagal pa.

just.anotherguy · July 2019

In my opinion lang, nakakatulong din yung scheduling ng pag a-apply. Usually pag nag a-apply ako, office hours lang ako nagpapasa. (9am-4pm lang. Wala na yata nagbabasa ng email ng 4pm-5pm )
Mas malaki ang chances na mapansin yung email ko kapag nasa harap ng computer ung HR na nagpprofile ng mga applicants. Kasi sa Outlook, latest received mail on top diba.. Kaya hindi ako nag a-apply ng gabi, sabado at linggo. Kasi there is a huge chance na matatabunan lang ako ng mga morning emails. Kaya sa gabi, minsan ginagawa ko na lang, nagttype na lang ako ng mga isusubmit ko, then sa office hours ready na i-attach and send sa Seek. hehe

just.anotherguy · July 2019

Kayang kaya mo yan @Pixiepie Godbless!

just.anotherguy · July 2019

Hi @ali0522, eto yung format ng CV and CL ko. Not sure kung makakatulong, kasi baka hindi tayo pareho ng profession..Pero you can google din "resume australian format", madaming tips sa internet, doon lng ako din ako nag base para sa resume ko

ali0522 · July 2019

@just.anotherguy thanky ou po

maguero · July 2019

Nag-uumpisa na ako mag-apply ng trabaho. Napansin ko yung ibang job postings sa Seek.com nakalagay din yung e-mail nung taga-hiring company. Mas advisable ba na mag-apply pa rin via Seek.com using the Apply Now button o mas mabuti bang mag-email na lang derecho dun sa e-mail ng hiring company?

just.anotherguy · July 2019

@maguero para sa akin, I did both. inii-spam ko sila. nyahahha. More chances of winning.

maguero · July 2019

@just.anotherguy Hahaha. Naisip ko nga rin yan para siguradong nakuha nila CV ko.

fioning1120 · August 2019

Hi. Kamusta na pag aapply ng work? Kami eto job hunting parin for 1 month na since dating namin dito sa Melbourne ng husband ko. Plano na namin maghanap ng odd jobs. May resume template ba kayo na pwede mashare? for example factory worker yung position. Salamat sa pagsagot!

Marie · August 2019

@fioning1120,

Mam, suggestion; go regional. As mentioned by others, fierce ang competitions for jobs in Melb city. Go west or further (Werribee, Geelong and other areas). May mga industries for your particular job preference in regional areas.

Megger · August 2019

@fioning1120 , makakahanap rin kayo. 2 months din bago ako makahanap ng work.

Pixiepie · August 2019

@goodminton @just.anotherguy May work na ako.. Yipee.. After 2 months.. Naka more than 1 week n ako sa factory, waiting pa yung 2 other jobs n inapplyan ko.. Happy nmn at naka work n din sa wakas at flexi time.. Salamat sa tips!

Well, ito yung lng ang msasabi ko about sa journey ng jobhunt. Hindi uubra ata ang career change lalo n if robust n ang exp ( like me in Mfg) kasi sa field na un din yung mga employers n mag take ng risk to hire you. Ang hirap pala mg change ng career.. Need cguro mg aral.

Megger · August 2019

Im thankful na nakahanap na ako ng work. Pero Im in a job with a very awkward situation. kasi yong position ko ay replacement ng retiring guy na sya lang mag isa sa department nya and I have less than 3 months to learn everything. I feel terribly stressed kasi 3 weeks na lang aalis na siya and theres a lot to know. Im considering leaving the job, kasi walang ibang nakakalam sa work nya it will be very difficult kung mawala siya. Ang consequence naman nun posible maapektuhan retirement nya, o mawalan ng tao ang department. Whew, any advise people.

just.anotherguy · August 2019

wow congrats @Pixiepie ! yeah, medyo mahirap mag change career lalo na wala tayong maipapakitang proof na experience or education dun sa ibang linya..kaya advisable na kumuha ng courses on the side, if may time and budget..kung gusto mong makapag try ng ibang line

just.anotherguy · August 2019

hi @Megger, its purely up to you, since ikaw ang nakaka experience kung ano ang current situation. Pero, just my opinion, just stick through it. You will learn things on your own pa din naman as time goes by. Mas madali mo mapipick-up yung ginagawa nung retiring guy if nasa line of work mo na din yun and not totally different industry. (maybe its just that may certain procedures sya, na sya lang ang nakaka-alam) if you look at it in a positive way, sya din nga nag survive naman sya sa trabaho nya nang walang nag turo sa kanya (since mag isa lang sya sa department nya) so ibig sabihin makakaya mo din And, kaibiganin mo sya and kunin mo yung contact details nya, para from time to time, you can still ask him even when he already left the business.

Megger · August 2019

@just.anotherguy out of line talaga din yong job. Thanks sa input. happy for you at settled ka na.

just.anotherguy · August 2019

Ahh, kung out of line sa mga dati mong ginagawa, mahirap din matutunan mag isa.. Whatever you decide on, that’s probably the best for you and the company.

goodminton · August 2019

Congrats! @Pixiepie galing! Enjoy your first salary from AU.

Abt sa career change kaya naman yan pero tama si @just.anotherguy you might need to take courses on the side. congrats again!

kaloidq · August 2019

Yung pinalitan ko sa work walang binigay na transition sa akin. Hahaha

Mapi figure out mo naman yan along the way. Hindi lahat naman ay matuturo ng papalitan mo.

Magiging maganda actually yung position mo sa company if you accept the job kasi ang mangyayare ikaw lang nakakaalam nung ginagawa ng papalitan mo. Manage lang siguro expectation ng company by reminding them na aaralin mo pa yung mga tasks and assure them na willing ka mag share whatever you learn from the retiring guy para mas maraming nakakaalam at may redundancy. If willing si company, ask another person to do the transition para at least dalawa na kayo makakaalam nung mga maiiwan na tasks.

I agree with this especially with redundancy (very common here in australia)

Megger · August 2019

@LakiMasel ,@karlboy,@yosh10 salamat sa mga inputs nyo. Mag 2 months na ako sa work kaya pinag iisipan ko to continue or leave, kaso mahirap din kung aalis na walang malipatan. Tama, open naman ako sa mgt na dami talaga kailangang malaman at new ako sa industry nila, kaiba lang talaga na parang walang pwd mag support maliban dun sa aalis, at ako lang mag isa sa department. hahaha. God bless sa lahat, specially sa mga naghahanap ng work, at sa mga nag aadjust sa working condition nila.
