Job Hunt after BM

era222 · January 2023

Curious about your experiences sa pagla-land ng jobs, specially if recent lang kayo nag-BM. I've been browsing job listings and I see so many applicants! FYI I have a corporate profession. With the labour market competition (and the fact na somehow disadvantaged due to being a new migrant), did you get a role na related sa current profession niyo kaagad, or did you take some odd jobs first?

Hoping you can share your insights. Thank you!

I'd say not going to be easy but possible. I got employed in an architectural firm on my 14th day here tapos 2nd job in the same field after 4 months. Ayusin mo ang CV mo as per AU format tapos spray and pray, send lang ng send ng CV. Sipagin na gumawa ng cover letter. Use seek, linkedin, indeed na din para sa applications. Pinakaimportante sa lahat para sakin, befriend headhunters(agents) lalo na yung agents sa sector mo, magbibigay sila ng jobs na available na minsan hindi posted sa seek etc, tapos sila pa ang mag setup ng interviews for you. Wag din kalimutan, galingan lagi sa interview.

Depende din sa pocket money/expenses mo. Kung tingin mo hindi enough ang pocket money not to mention ang cost of living iba dito, hinding hindi masama ang odd jobs.

Based sa mga ngsshare ng exp nila dito. Swertehan dn talaga meron first job nila similar sa job nila sa pinas. Iba 1-2 months bago nkaland ng work sa field nila. Iba longer. Tama dn depends dn sa pocket money mo if you can hold out longer para sa target job mo if not you can get odd jobs just to get by while applying also for the job na you wanted. I hope this helps dasal lang dn kay Lord and sipag lang dn.
