How long did it take you to get a job?

May 5 years experience po aq sa IT related sa software, balak ko po kumuha ng 1 year IT diploma course at the same time sana makahanap ng company na mag sponsor skin sa oz while holding a student visa pag nasa oz nko.

Ask q lang po kung posible ba na 'student visa convert to working visa' kahit na dpa tapos yung course kung may mag sponsor na employer na? May naka experience npo ba ng ganito? Madali po ba makahanap ng part-time work sa oz?

Salamat po!

Interesting observation: this time around as I was doing follow up calls, I tried to talk in native Aussie accent (complete with inflections) and guess what? Mas matagal nila akong kinausap and they explained why I dont qualify (overqualified naman daw ako this time). Dati hindI man lang kinukuha name ko. Hmm, I smell something fishy here lol.

tama ka metaform...

I talked to one of the guys and they said that they prefer to take people who are comfortable with the culture and have no problems interacting with the aussie teamwork...

i guess having an australian accent makes them think that you've lived here for quite a while na and of course already have that "local experience" even if that is sometimes entirely false...

faye

@Metaform nainterview kana ba ove the phone bagao ka ngfollow up calls? or ung mga inapplyan mo lng online ngtanong ka ng status?

@LittleBoyBlue hello po, just got my skype number today. Question, do i need to have skype credits so i can receive calls? Thanks.

LittleBoyBlue

@nathalie06 hindi naman ata, kaso ako kasi ang ginawa ko, naka-forward pa sa mobile number ko kasi kung skype lang di mo makikita yung tawag unless active skype mo. Ma-activate mo lang call forwarding pag-may credit ka eh.

nathalie06

@LittleBoyBlue ok thanks.

Metaform

Starting work on Tuesday. Total time it took me to get a job: 3 months. Surpassed the first hurdle which is local experience. I hope it's smooth sailing from here. Thank you God.

@Metaform Congrats po..

Metaform

@alexamae Thanks. Tip lang ulit: huwag panghinaan ng loob at mawalan ng tiwala sa sarili. Makakatulong na rin kung mag-ooffer ng ibang skills besides sa main skill nyo. Sa Customer Relations ako ngayon dahil may background ako sa Cust Service. This will do for now until I can find a place in sys ad.

@Metaform well paid naman? hehe..

Sa taas ng bilihin diyan, I would say, kapit muna sa patalim at kunin kahit anong trabaho para may panggastos then tuloy lang ang pag-apply sa main job on the side

Metaform

@LokiJr That's the plan. Ngayon pa't 5 months na misis. Kelangan kumilos. Nakakatakot din kasing makita na nade-drain yung savings gradually.

LokiJr

@Metaform oh, that makes things more urgent. best of luck to you! it's times like this that you'd wish sana puwede na kayo makaclaim ng baby bonus noh hehe

Metaform

@LokiJr judging by my midsection, mukha namang buntis so try ko rin mag-claim hehe

LittleBoyBlue

@Metaform congratulations!
