    @Alona Kaya mo yan, basta tiyaga lang....for sure makahanap ka rin after sometime....
    By the way, normally ano pala yung reasons ng employer for rejecting your application, need b Talaga ng local experience?....
    Sana makahanap k na ng work and sana rin pag nag settle n kami dyan mas marami ng opportunities for accountants.....
    Keep going

    @mark_y ...sa experience ko wala naman akong na received na directly nagsabing need nila ng may local experience..usually very similar to this one ang narereceived ko:

    "We have considered your resume for both the role you applied for and other positions we are currently recruiting for. You have relevant skills and experience that look appropriate for this role, however, we are progressing with other candidates at this stage who have a closer fit to the parameters that have been set.
     
    Should a role become available that is suited to your skills, we will certainly be in contact with you. Until such time, we wish you well in your job search and appreciate your continued interest in the positions we have advertised."

    @Alona Standard replies pala no...Direct ka ba apply sa employer or sa headhunter?
    Nag check din kase ako seek.com dami rin openings pero di rin siguro ganun kadali makapasok...
    CPA as in CPA Australia or recognized nila CPA sa pinas..

    hi forumers! just wanted to share my experience here in Perth...
    1 week after I landed here, naghanap muna ako ng casual job, which was a go-kart race official. Dami ko rin inapalayan na casual jobs pero I guess dun papasok yung local experience, need kasi nila ng local reference sa mga previous jobs mo. I noticed na hndi nila need ng Certificate of employment dito, kundi local references ng previous employers (phone numbers/email). Buti na lang natsambahan ko yung work na yun kung saan wala naman hiningi na experience or references, need lang talaga na pakita na determined & interested ka sa work na ina-aplyan mo. Pampalipas-oras lang talaga (and pandagdag budget na din ung casual work na yun, since 3-4 days a week lang and 5 hrs per day. Nakakaburo kasi talaga pag sa house ka lang maglalagi, lalo't puro rejections matatanggap mo sa email pag nag-aapply ka. By the way, I noticed na basic requirement nga pala ng (almost all) jobs dito is meron kang Driver's License & own vehicle. Sakto nung nag-aapply ako sa casual job na yun kumuha na ko ng 2nd hand car (below 2K ang price, hehe) and na-convert ko na yung license ko. I cant stress enough yung importance ng 2 items na to. I suggest na maglaan kayo ng budget para dito.

    Shortly after that, I found a full-time job. Around 1 month ng pamamalagi ko dito sa Perth. Again, wala naman hiningi na local experience,but this time nanghingi sila ng references. So binigay ko yung mga names and contact # ng mga former bosses ko. It was indeed an answered prayer. No kidding, I do say my prayers before ko simulan yung pagsi-send ko ng resumes and before ako matulog sa gabi.

    I remember when I was bored one time, umupo ako sa may fountain dun sa may tapat ng Perth train stn, I met 2 pinoys. One was a 457 visa Mining mechanic from QLD na natanggal sa work and nagki-kwento na kagagaling lang nya sa immig office to ask about bridging visa (nag interstate sya hoping to land a mining job dito sa WA), and yung isang pinoy was an elderly woman who's been here 25 yrs, cleaner sya sa sikat na hotel sa Perth. Tinanong ko pa nga sya kung pwede nya ko ipasok as cleaner sa work nya. hehe... Nag-advise pa nga sya na pumunta daw ako sa nearby cathedral kasi dun daw nasasagot mga dasal nya, which proved to have the same effect on me. Since bago lang ako, eager ako marinig yung mga kwento and tips nila about sa AU, and dami ko naman natutunan sa knila. Another tip ko sa mga pupunta dito is dont be afraid to say "Kabayan?" & hello sa mga fellow Pinoys, who knows, you might be meeting God-sent angel to help you land your job. =)

    And my best advise? Bring lots of prayers, smiles, determination and hope (and syempre, budget). As of the moment, sobrang miss ko na wife & kids ko, kaya naisipan ko mag-post ng experience ko dito, baka sakali may ma-inspire pa ko, rather than magmukmok sa homesickness. Hoping to be able to bring them over in about 2 month's time. =) Goodluck & Godbless to all OZ-bound pinoys! Cheers!

    @brent - great story sir.. congratulations.
    so yung full time work nyo is related to your skill?

    also, i remember kayo yata ung nagtanong about converting SG driving license, so exempted na ba sa exam khit na less than 2 years valid ang SG license nyo?

    @lock_code2004: thanks chief! yup, related na related. hehe... kaya siguro nanghingi ng references sa mga dati kong mga employers, to ensure na genuine yung background ko.
    about sa driver's license conversion, yup, na-exempt ako hehe... mabait naman kasi yung nasa licensing centre, kasi dapat daw P-plate holder lang kasi less than 2 yrs, pinagbigyan na nya ako, ginawa na full license. Although if ever, ok lang naman kung sakaling Probationary yung license ko, kasi may certain restrictions lang naman tsaka may P na nakalagay sa vehicle mo. Siguro nakatulong din yung 10+ years ko na Phil DL kasi pinakita ko din yun.

    by the way, yung driving exam yata is required talaga sa mga non-recognized countries (eg. Phils). Meron written & practical. Madali lang written, pero dami ko nakikilala dito nahihirapan sa practical, nakaka-ilang takes. kaya kumukuha muna ng Driving lessons, 50AUD per hr ang ave. rate. Sobrang hihigpit kasi ng mga assessors, alam nila kung hindi pa ganon kabihasa sa Aussie driving rules (roundabouts, left something at home, turning right on green lights, etc).

    Thanks @Alona and @likeaboss! Tingnan ko rin ang rates Qantas at PAL. :) nice yung 46kg allowance huh. Kung may toddler kaya 46kg rin?

    @brent.. nice to hear about your story! :) congrats! one down ka na... at ang pinaka-importante pa sa lahat. yung ibang steps naman. :)
    si hubby, parang mababaliw na rin sa dami ng regret letters na natatanggap. :( sana, katulad ng iba pang nasa jobhunting stage, sana ay may magtiwala rin sa kanila sa lalong madaling panahon at bago maubos ang kaban.
