Naka-ilang interview kayo on your first 2 months since arrival in Australia?

j_yiz · October 2013

@lock_code2004 Unfortunately, geothermal drilling. Pero, same lang naman ang principles ng dalawa. hehe. Iba lang ang objectives

Knowledgeable rin ako sa reservoir engg. Kaso yun nga lang, 2.5 yrs lang experience ko. hehe. Malaki ba ang chance na makahanap agad ng work kahit ganun lang ang years ng experience?

lock_code2004 · October 2013

@j_yiz - well since meron ka nang visa, madali nang maghanap ng work..
depende na lang sa experience mo kung anung job grade/pay ang ibibigay syo..

search for your targeted companies online.. and then try mong mag apply apply sa company websites nila..check mo rin ang mga jobs online (seek.com.au).. kung may mga vacant positions sa skill set mo..

very specific at highly technical kasi ang work exp mo... for sure meron yan.. also, if you would consider applying for related industries (eg. oil and gas)... then mas marami kang options.. especially dito sa WA..

goodluck..

i work for an oil/gas company (drilling...etc)...

j_yiz · October 2013

@lock_code2004 :Thank you sa reply at advice... Wow! sa O&G ka pala! May vacancies ba sa inyo? hehe.. Actually, natitingin-tingin na rin ako sa seek at sa ibang sites for job vacancies. kaso, laging 5 yrs minimum kelangan eh. Sana kahit may tumanggap sa mga fresh grad/< 3 yrs exp na tulad ko..

Marami rin bang mga materials engg job jan sa WA (i.e. QA/QC, failure analyst, lab analyst, reliability engr). Pwede rin ako dun bilang matE naman ako nung undergrad ako. hahaha.

Thank you.

baguhin mo ang strategy mo. make your CV attention catcher.
customize your CV according to the job requirements.

sa cover letter mo i-address mo lahat ng job requirements from your experience.

kelan ka pa sa Australia?

@rguez06 sir if i may ask, did you get an australian number skype (paid) based on your comment above? TIA

Gori · November 2013

3 weeks ka pa lang dont worry.. usually if you apply for a fresh job in seek expect they'll reply after mga 3 weeks dahil syempre meron silang submission deadline then shortlisiting.

wag panghinaan ng loob

@bluemist Yung interview na to they asked for my skype id, pero I did bought an australian number sa skype and nakareceive na ko tawag from a recruiter from that number so I guess sulit na rin. Yung binili ko sa skype is for 3 months $15. Thanks!

bluemist · November 2013

@rguez06 thank you sir.

good luck on your job interview and God bless on your journey down under!

looks like the economy in general is slowing down....ung manager ko sa SG nag migrate dn dto but sa Queensland nman cla, he'd been here 6 months pero wala pa syang work. Also from the past 3 months, nag su submit sya ng 3 applications on the average per day pero wala daw tumatawag sa kanya for interview. Dun sa company na pinapasukan ko, nag retrenched ng 25 people last week lang and ganito pala retrenchment dto basta bigay ng papel ng HR then bye-bye and those laid off were just given 30 minutes to clean up their desk ndi man lang bnigyan ng chance na makapag say ng proper goodbye sa mga naiwan. Then, ung colleague ko ung husband nya is IT in Monash, mag re retrench dn daw ang Monash ng 100+ people but still ongoing negotiation pa medyo kabado sya kc kakabili lang nila ng bahay then baka makasama sa tanggalan ung husband nya. Then just heard from the news na mag la laid off dn ang Qantas from their maintenance facility sa Avalon airport 300+ job yata ang affected...so dun sa mga may work be thankful at paghusayan natin. Sa mga wala pa at naghahanap pa lang tyaga tyaga.

Okey na ito, back in my company sa Singapore before it goes something like tatawagin ka and sasabihin sa iyo na na retrench ka and you will be escorted downstairs by your director. That same director will pack up your stuffs for you and ipadala nalang sa bahay mo he following day.

The sooner you are out of the office, the better it would be as far as company security is concerned.

amcasperforu · February 2014

Matanong ko po, during the interview or during the hiring process do you need to bring or do they require you to submit copy of your diploma?

JCsantos · February 2014

Hi guys,

I have a question lang po. di ko kasi alam where to post na existing thread, sorry if OT. anyways, magtatanong lang ako regarding tax. I was offered to do partime job in my current employer, 4 hrs. a day. Do I have to declare it and will I be taxed? Im weighing kasi if tatanggapin ko ba ang offer, medyo mababa kasi ang salary compared to the income I will get if i'll be hired there. But the good thing about this offer is that I can take care of my son and still have an income since i'll be working home.

tia

IslanderndCity · July 2014

ako 5 weeks naka 4 interviews na ako.. is it a good sign?
sana hindi lang puro interviews sana may job offers din..

o siguro kasi at this time of the year they rush to fill in those vacancies before xmas holidays
Sana makahanap ka ng work bago mag end October kasi Nov-Feb ang "break" nila dito. Tapos sa Dec hahataw lang ang mga temp/casual workers for holidays.

@packerx, @Gori, everyone, Nov-Feb ang 'break' means holidays? paki-explain po.
either Oct or Nov kasi balak namin punta diyan for job hunting

kremitz · July 2014

@islanderndcity usually ata wala msyado work yan kc mdami nagbabakasyon

IslanderndCity · July 2014

@kremitz nako po. so October possibly ok pa?

johnvangie · July 2014

@IslanderndCity Mag-initial entry ka lang ba sa October? Then sabay apply na din?

kremitz · July 2014

@islanderndcity initial entry lang po ba?basta ang nabasa ko dito based sa experience ng mga tao eh wag daw towards the end of the year kasi wala masyado work.pero depende naman cgro yan sa line of work mo
