    @imau @carlosau okay din ang headhunters, may mga nainterview kami recently na from headhunters. Basta naman you tick the important details na nirerequire ng company, magkakaron kayo ng opportunity for first round of interview.

    Ang hiring pa rin ay naka-depende sa paano nyo i-sell ang sarili nyo sa interview. Sa mga IT roles, kasama din ang pag answer sa mga technical/logical questions.

    Kino-consider din ng companies ang attitude at culture fit.

    Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

    Nag experience ko na both side, na-interview at nag-iinterview. Isang malaking bagay na ma-aadvise ko is maging honest sa skills at job experience. Lumalabas ang totoo sa mga situational/technical questions. Sa technical question, nasasala kung sino ang may actual experience or knowledge/theory/certificate lang. Hindi masama na sumagot ng "hindi ko alam" (basta hindi naman ssa lahat ng question) kaysa mag kunwari na basta lang makasagot. Sa technical question, ang pag approach sa problema ang kadalasang importante.

    Good luck sa lahat.

    i agree with @kramkramkram , nung naghahanap kami ng intern sa dati kong work, mas ok for me na sabihin na hindi nila alam pero willing to learn kasi natuturuan naman yung tao. Mas mahirap turuan yung taong ayaw magpaturo at umintindi.

    Pero remember lang rin, ang training dito sa Australia is very much different sa Pilipinas. Kung sa Pinas may 6 months training bago ilagay sa production, dito sa Australia, maging masaya ka na kung turuan ka wng kahit 1 week. After nun, self-trained ka na. Production experience na yung pagbabasehan mo after. Hindi ka na nila babantayan or ilalagay sa training room after nung initial week. Open naman sila sa mga tanong, wag lang paulit ult. So kung sinabi mong ala kang alam, yung willingness to learn is dapat may kasabay na fast learner ka. May self-study kumbaga. Sa 2 work ko dito sa Australia, ganyan lagi yung case. Look after yourself, kung magkamali man, own up to it. Be responsible and make sure to help with the fix. And also make sure don't do it the second time.

    @carlosau hmmm... hindi kami gumagamit ng java eh.=/ PL/SQL hanap namin, yung may Oracle RMS experience.

    @carlosau and @imau Pero as for your headhunter, okies lang yan. reliable naman yang mga yan. ala ka rin babayaran sa kanila if ever, hindi tulad sa Pinas. So don't worry much about it. Yung first job ko, add cya sa gumtree. then may tumawag sakin for interview after like 3-4 weeks. After nung interview ko, sabi nung company 'we'll inform your agent if you passed for the second interview'. Dun ko lang nalaman na may agent pla ako. natanggap naman ako dun s work, after pa lang nun ako kinontack nung agency. Pero yung ibang agent, sila unang tatawag sayo pra malaman yung background mo. then sila maghahanap kung san ka fit. Update nyo lng yung job search sites like Seek, LinkedIn, Indeed etc pra lam nung headhunters na naghahanap kayo ng work.

    Kamusta job hunting ng mga developer diyan? BM kami sa January, medyo na-anxious at gusto ko na mag back out dahil sa mga kwento ng mga nakapag IE na diyan. Hirap daw hanap work. Gusto daw ng mga employers ay may local exp pa. Pero tingin ko dito eh medyo discrimination. IT experience doesnt need local exp., kung marunong ka mag program sa Asia, ganun din naman sa ibang parte ng mundo. Haaay. Nakakakaba dahil ngayon lang kami mate-tengga sa work

    Hi @gdcan, nasa IT space na ako nagwowork. Sabi ng employer ko, nahihirapan sila makakita ng quality na IT employees - mapa local man or foreign candidate. Kadalasan na huling tinitignan ang visa status unless otherwise government role yan na need citizen dahil sa security clearance.

    It took us 1 year to look for an iOS developer and Product Manager after interviewing a mix number of locals and expats. Hindi ako naniniwala don sa "discrimination" kaya hirap makakuha ng work - Australian firms value equality.

    Habang hindi pa nag BM, practice pano ma-sell ang sarili sa potential employers. :smile: All the best!

    @superluckyclover sana nga wala discrimination talaga. and good to know na last nila chincheck is the visa status. nagttry na kami apply from here pa lang, sabi kasi minsan matagal HR diyan.

    buti pa anak namin, may nakuha nang offer sa school niya. kaming mga magulang walang offer sa trabaho hahaha! stress

    @gdcan don't bring in the notion that you have a lot of experience thus you deserve to be in a higher/specific position. Sa dami ng competition dito, syempre gusto ng local business na alam mo na kung pano sila magwork. as i have said in my previous post, iba ang training process nila, so technically, marami rin difference pagdating sa work culture. it is just being respectful na rin sa kanila dahil business nila yung papasukan natin, hindi naman pwedeng sila ang magaadjust satin.

    And with all honesty, mas ok for me ang work culture nila dito. Maraming working rights, especially when it comes to family stuff/issues, lenient sila. If you do get stressed, kung hindi man yung company ang maglookout sayo, may mga government agencies na pede kang puntahan. Below is an article for reference:
    https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/topic/mental-health

    But yes, kung ano naman yung nasa Asia, yun din naman yung nandito sa Australia, you just have to break that shell that they have because once you are inside, once your already in a local company, employers will be the one running after you to work for them if they see that your experience and knowledge is what they are looking for.

    Goodluck s job hunt.;)

    Thanks sa mga inputs nyo. So far sa experience ko, kahit nung nasa Pinas pa lang ako tinatawagan na ako ng head hunters. May isa ring direct, alam nilang nasa Pinas pa lang ako pero they still interviewed me. Tatanong nila kung kelan ang BM pero yun nga shempre mas prioritized nila ang nasa AU na. They'll be transparent with that.

    First week namin, inasikaso na namin bank, medicare, cetrelink and TFN namin. Second week ratsada na sa apply while gumagala. May mga interviews pero yun nga, walang direct.

    Good luck sa mga mag BM pa lang at nag hahanap ng work tulad ko. 3 days nang wala sa piling ang anak ko kaya mahirap. Salamat at may support group na nagbibigay ng insights kahit strangers tayo. Eto naiiyak na naman ako haha!

    Hi,
    Good day po sa lahat ng members.

    Bago lang po ako sa group nato.

    I just want to know if what will be the first step (really dunno where and how to start) for migrating to Australia. In my case, I am 36 y.o. (as of this writing) currently working in Qatar as Quantity Surveyor with total years of experience as QS in a construction company (but i am a licensed Civil Engr in the Philippines- my degree is Civil Engineering). As far as i know, both Quantity Surveyor and Civil Engineer were in the SOL. In addition my wife is working here as well as a Nurse (31 yrs old).

    My question is, do I qualify with the requirements to migrate to Australia? What will be the first thing to do?

    Any response will be highly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Duane
    Qatar

    @mabaitpoako usually ang first call/interview is HR or yung recruiter. Ang tanong is usually based sa kung ano yung nakalagay na hinahanap nila sa advertisements nila. Bihira yung HR / recruiter na technical pero just give the info they need. Kasi ang basis pa lang rin naman nila is yung resume mo. You can politely say if they need further details sa sagot mo. If they say yes, then sagot pa.;) dont forget to research on their company, big plus yun sa kanila pag alam mo company nila. And lastly, pag nagtanong ng do you have any questions, magtanong ka. Like would it be an issue kung next month ka p makakarating sa australia etc.

    agree po ako na pgnasa Au kna ug Senior position mo like dito sa SG e magiging Junior muna sa AU.

    Ung mga kaibigan po nmin na nasa sydney melbourne sk brisbane po from Senior dito sa Sg napunta sa Junior. pero sbi po nl hnd dw stress sk ung sahod nila kundi mas mataas dito pareho lang. 1 month po may work na sila.

    sb p ng ns sydney, mabilis sila nakahanp ksi july sila pumunta parang super busy dw po nung month na un kya nahire sila agad mgasawa.

    ang nahirapan lang ung nasa regional po, na nasa Sunshine. almost mag 2 months bgo cy ngkawork pero ngkawork po siya.

    sabi po nila may week na wala talagang contact galing employer. minsan naman sabay sabay ang tawag. ung nasa brisbane po nakapirma na siya ng contract, saka naman daw po sabay sabay may nag si contact sa kanya.

    Kaya isa lang po ibig sabihin nun, may trabaho makakahanap at makakahanap. hindi porke manager ka na sa SG. pagdating ng AU manager kana agad.

    lahat po sila kundi sa Architectural sa Interior Design po napasok. pero lahat po Arki.

    Hindi naman discriminatory yun local experience preference. Sabi nga ni @frisch24, less training at mabilis isabak sa production. Hinahanap ng mga company yun honesty at confidence na kaya mo yun work. Naalala ko, less than a month after mag start ako, nag bakasyon kaagad yun isang ka opisina ko for a month. Hindi ko rin masisi dahil matagal sila naghanap ng mga candidates at matagal na rin siyang hindi nag bakasyon. Kailangan kaagad ma train mo ang sarili sa limited time.

    Ayoko maging negative at mag discourage pero Ber months (sept - dec) ay medyo slow down sa job market. Specially December dahil usually may shutdown period lalo na sa mga non operation staff gaya ng HR. Mag pick up ulit around end ng January. Ito ang honest na opinion/advise ko sa mga kakilala kung nag babalak ng BM.

    @imau, Jun-Aug is end/start ng Financial Year so medyo maayos din ang job market. Ok naman din ang BM ng Dec/Jan kung may mga bata para mas may time sila mag adjust na kasama ang magulang. Mahina lang talaga ang job market ng December.

    @imau dagdag lang ako regarding schools, tumatanggap ng students dito sa NSW kahit middle of the school year.

    Dumating mag-ina ko ng Aug. Nung nag-apply kami sa school, kami pa tinanong kung kelan namin prefer magstart yung bata :smiley:

    In my experience hindi naman ako naging Junior. Senior/Lead Developer position ako sa PH before mag migrate and I was expecting na mid level position ang makukuha ko. When I got the job I thought na junior/mid level lang but they gave me a Senior role. Ang masaklap lang is pang mid/junior level ung salary ko since wala ngang local experience. Tinanong ko yung head hunter na nakakausap ko ganun daw usually talaga nga kapag walang local experience pero after ilang years daw makukuha din ung tamang sweldo for the role.

    Para sakin mas gusto ko pa nga na junior/mid level role nakuha ko para meron akong goal na iaim pataas kaso since Senior role binigay sakin tapos mas mababa sweldo iniisip ko tuloy kung ano career path ko sa current company dahil hindi naman ako nag aaim ng sobrang taas na position.

    I agree din kay frisch24, walang training training dito after a week sabak agad kaya need mo intindihin talaga ung business and maka adapt how they work. Fortunately hindi stressful and working environment ng mga aussie hindi kagaya satin sa PH na pukpukan at OTy parati.

    Dont worry much sa mga nag hahanap ng work at sa mga mag BM. sa umpisa lang medyo challenging pero once na establish niyo na family niyo dito hindi kayo mag sisisi.

    Sa mga nasa IT, marami din mga Users Group or free webinars/events, habang nag hihintay or naghahanap ng work

    Isa sa mga upcoming events ay

    AWS: Modern Application Development
    https://pages.awscloud.com/modern-app-development.html?trk=em_modern_app_dev_lastchance&trkcampaign=modern-app-development

    User groups gaya ng

    Sydney Linux User Groups https://slug.org.au/

    Pag sa Devops kayo, google "devops meetup sydney". Maraming events na sponsored ng companies. Mostly free (at may snacks at drinks). Maybe makakatulong din to pass time and magka idea sa industry dito.

    @Noodles12 oo, ang mga tao dito 'Honda'... on the dot pag uwian na.xP haha. Pag 5 ang uwian, uwi na talaga. Kasi hindi uso dito sa Australia ang overtime. Besides, most stores closes by 7. Late na yung 7.0_o Kaya hindi ka na halos makakagala kung 6PM ka na lalabas.

    Pero kung kelangan mag overtime due to Production issues etc, hindi naman masama magstay longer. Companies would really appreciate it. Pero don't do it always nga lang. Ala kasing point.

    And one more thing, wag madismaya sa office spaces. Kasi yung malalaking companies lang talaga yung may offices ng tulad sa Makati at Taguig. Most businesses dito maliliit ang offices, minsan wood pa yung structure ng building. Local businesses kasi usually is small businesses. Bihira yung malaki at international ones. Kaya don't compare yung offices dito at sa Pinas.;) Personally, first job ko is a small local company na sakop yung 2 floors ng building. Pero may 3rd floor yung building at yung nsa taas ay Pole Dancing class ang ginagawa so may oras talaga in a day na maingay dahil sa music, maraming kalabog kasi nga Pole Dancing cya at puro alikabok na nahuhulog galing sa ceiling dahil nga sa kalabog.xP hahaha. But it was no issue for me, for us, working in that company kasi business as usual. Trabaho trabaho lang.

    Then nung nainterview ako for my second job, naisip ko talaga na 'dito ko gusto magwork' kasi yung workspace is katulad talaga ng sa Pinas. Sinuwerte naman na nakapasok ako dito sa work ko ngayon.;)

    Tama si @kramkramkram kasi marami nga events dito sa Melbourne when it comes to IT. And usually may mga Job Fair every now and then all around Melbourne, sorry can't comment much sa ibang state.

    Yung app din na Meetup would really help to get a good network dun sa jobs na related sayo, hindi lang sa IT.
