Hello,
Ganun po ba usually ang mga recruiters po. Nagi-email lang po ng additional details from you tapos wala na po feedback?

Metaform · January 2013

@LokiJr I had to tell them the truth na wala pa ako dito at that time. Hirap na baka ma-invite for interview tapos wala pala doon. But the Aussie number caught the recruiter's ATTEntion.

LokiJr · January 2013

@Metaform alright thanks

From the looks of it, kahit nasa Pinas ka pa, pero basta may "connection" ka na sa Australia, parang may advantage ka na kaagad hehe

Bryann · January 2013

Yup tama.. if you got friends, and relatives here.. they can arrange interviews via skype for you. Meron ako couple of skype interviews before saka online personality test na sinagutan. Pero hindi ako nakuha sa mga yun. Hehehe.

Hello po.paano po kayo nakakuha ng AU number?

Bryann · January 2013

Skype # po ata yun sinasabi niya na naka-set as in Australia. Hehe.

Thanks po Sir Byran...hmmm..masubukan nga rin.

Metaform · January 2013

@rolf021 Login ka sa Skype website then may optipn for Skype #. $18 for 3 months. pero saglit ko lang nagamit dahil bili agad ako Sim dito. Dito ko lang din sa forum nalamam tungkol sa Skype #

LokiJr · January 2013

Metaform · January 2013

during actual (face-to-face) interviews, do you need to come in business suit attire ba? or smart casual will do? thanks!

Ren · August 2013

@cind3r3lla
Smart casual will do, but depending on the position.
Don't worry its very different here I heard some local went to interview wearing shorts.

Okim · August 2013

Sometimes, the recruiter will advise you what to wear sa face-to-face interview with their client. and some will give you tips and possible questions their client would ask during the interview..also,visit the company website..learn kung ano ung line of business. better be prepared..

Hi @Okim, long time no see here in pinoy au.

musta ang stay nyo dyan sa Australia? saka mabilis ka lang nakahanap ng work? share nman some more tips

Okim · August 2013

@peach17 Hirap din mag-adjust..wala pang work and family ko dito..niluluto pa lang ung job na para sa akin hehehe..lately lang din naging busy attending interviews..almost everyday nag-aapply hindi lang thru seek, pati direct mismo sa company website.. I'm sure alam mo na yun..
review your resume and try using power words, if afford, use professional services.
When interview na, basta be confident lang, very particular sila sa communication skills and team fit. prepare 5-7 stories na workrelated for the behavioural questions.

This .. resume must stand out from everybody

Since we are on the topic regarding interview questions, I find this website helpful.

"power words" meaning yung mga "deep" and mahihirap na words? kumbaga sa tao e merong sex appeal...

"professional services"??...may bayad po ba to? Yes

gj3037 · January 2014

Tip po sa akin nung isang agent: "Always dress to impress", meaning kung merong lang suit gun isuot mo.

Even for lower level jobs, sabi nung facilitator sa isang training where I attended, sabi nya naghanap sya ng warehouse personnel, madaming applicant, pero merong isa na naka suit - yun na pinili nya, kasi parepareho naman either konti o wala experience.

hi all,
SA sponsored po ako. Pero I'm thinking mag initial entry via Sydney po at mag stay muna sa bahay nang pinsan ko para tipid sa accomodation while applying for jobs.

Papansinin kaya nang mga SA prospective employers or headhunters ang application ko kahit na I'm in Sydney physically for time being? Anong chances kaya of getting an employment in SA? Any input? ty

Yes mga 70% chance, just include in your cover letter that you are bound to SA

Isyut · January 2014

@JCsantos hi, Thanks po. I'm still contemplating, baka one month of staying in sydney while applying jobs for SA. Then if wala talaga tsaka lumipad to Adelaide.

Sana swertehin agad. Goodluck sa mga jobhunters!

chesian · January 2014

Sa mga nagaapply na na wala pa sa Aus, sinasabi nyo ba kung PR status kayo tsaka may mga pumapansin ba kung halimbawa eh months ka pa before dumating sa Aus? Gusto ko sana mag try before dumating dyan para atleast sa first week mo pa lang makasched ka ng face to face interview kung susuwertehin.

multitasking · January 2014

@chesian ..based on my experience.. napansin yung application ko ng current employer ko mga two months bago ako pumunta sa Sydney.. then ni verify lang nila kung kalian ako ng Sydney so that they can set up the exam..

with regards to the PR status.. naka indicate sa cover letter and resume ko na may PR ako.. including kailan yung grant date..
