Bill Gates wouldn't get a job in Australia because he has no local experience.

scary naman pala nito...napakadami pa naman ng hopefuls na gusto magmigrate sa AUS tapos ganito pala ang current situation...hmmm...ganyan din ang naexperience namin dito sa SG simula ng maghigpit ang gobyerno nila sa pagkuha ng foreign talent...pero lahat talaga ng bagay, hinihingi sa KANYA...kelangan talaga ng matinding prayers at pananampalataya

ang ginawa ng wife ko to gain this so called local experience ay nag apply sa isang NGO dito sa melbourne at yon mag five months na siya as one of the bookeepers ng NGO na ito....kahit na unpaid pero ito na yong way niya na magkaroon ng local experience sa cv niya later on....then sa professional year may 3 months na naman na internship so additional local experience din....

So your wife got a job now connected to her qualifications?

@TasBurrfoot
yes...and she will gain further when she'll go into intership at PY...thus that will be another additional local experience for her

Based from my experience, I was never asked for local experience.. Since I came here 6 weeks ago I got 6 interviews already, once per week. I got the job on my 5th interview...
and the best thing is that, I was hired as an IT entry level position dahil yung skills ko is totally zero in Australia.

i was even applying for casual odd jobs and volunteer work since i came to overcome that dreaded "local experience" but i never got any call or response from them

I can relate to @emcee14 I was unemployed for 7 months as well but I didn't loose hope good thing I got friend who supported me in any way they can. One way to deal with that "local experience" thing is to volunteer.

I have to acknowledge @sohc for that malaking factor a job search ko ung pag-volunteer ko sa kanila kahit saglit lang. Lalo na nung tinawagan si @sohc nung prospective employer ko for reference. Yun nga lang napalayo ako nang konti andito ako sa Melbourne ngayon but still I'm happy that I finally got a job after 7 months of searching.

Kaya wag kayo mawalan ng pag-asa mga peeps dadating at dadating din yung para sainyo. :-)

inspiring stories..btw @rbolante nagpaalam ka ba sa SA since 176 ka?

rbolante · October 2013

@ozziness no need to do that in my case sir kasi permanent resident ako. :-)
and pagkakaalala ko mejo maluwag na ang SA ngayon. kung di ka makakuha ng work sa SA pwede ka lumipat sa ibang state kung gusto mo they won't force you to stay.

ozzieness · October 2013

that's good news @rbolante para sa mga state sponsored lalo sa SA kasi di naman tulad sa WA na mas madami opportunity.

thanks bro sa info. good luck sa new job!

There is TAFE and there are other short courses that you can enrol into. While looking for a job, I grabbed the opportunity to study "Forklift Training". I got an idea on how hiring works, e.g "dress to impress" lagi kahit anong baba ng position and how hard it is even for locals to find a job. Also, I got the change to mingle with other people around.

I started working after 6 weeks, thanks to AutoCAD which is a universal tool, so no need for local experience. Pinaduplicate lang sa akin yung drawing nils tapos ok na. The point is baka meron kayong experience na used globally, yun muna siguro gamin nyo kahit sa entry level lang, then look for a better job kapag naka settle na kayo.

Hi! Lahat ng sinabi nila dto ay super true! I even experienced it myself! Acceptance is the main key here..accept that were in a different world and learn to adjust since sobrang blessed prn tayo kasi npakaganda ng bansang napasukan natin..I cant complain that much as well..nkakafrustrate lang minsan pero we dont have any other choice but to move forward and do something about it..like sa case ko, tho iba ang visa ko, I took my time in understanding their culture, language, how they communicate etc..since partner visa ang sakin, ang main purpose ko tlg at first ay ang makasettle muna ng maayos dito then hanap ng kahit anong work then hanap ng work na inline sa field ko..im on my way there but at least im moving forward..bsta tyaga lng at natural lng na madissapoint ka but keep in mind just to move on agad agad lol! Hope that helps! ;-)

Yung experience ko dati yung nagaapply ako for work sa seek. Sobrang common na requirement yung local experience. Nag start ako mag hanap ng work mga middle ng January 2016 kasi mga January lang din yung dating namin dito. Medyo mahirap mag hanap ng work nung time na yun kasi naka vacation mode lahat ng tao until Feb.

Everyday I used to apply for up to 10 companies. Ubos oras talaga kasi you have to modify your cover letter and resume to fit the requirements of the company everytime. Hindi puwede yung generic na resume and cover letter kamuka sa Phil.

Ang payo ko lang is try to apply sa mga smaller companies kahit outside city centre. And don't veer away sa work/career na gusto mo kasi mahihirapan ka na bumalik dun in the end.
In all honesty, Nag apply din ako sa mga volunteer work at mga temp jobs pero kahit dun hindi ako nakukuha.

Pero pag dating ng March may nakita akong isang company sa seek. Pagkita ko sa kanya bumilis yung tibok ng puso ko tapos sobrang excited ako. Feeling ko ayun na yung work na para sakin. Perfect fit lahat ng requirements nila at sa skills ko. Plus malapit lang sa bahay namin. So nag apply ako and nag dasal with an expectant heart. Ayun nakuha ko yung work at mas mataas pa yung binigay na salary sakin keysa sa hinihingi ko.

So what i'm trying to say here is. madaming companies na habol ang is local experience. but at the same time meron din hindi. So apply lang ng apply. Darating din yung work na para sa inyo.
