Job Searching tips

JCsantos · January 2014

Sa mga nagaapply na na wala pa sa Aus, sinasabi nyo ba kung PR status kayo tsaka may mga pumapansin ba kung halimbawa eh months ka pa before dumating sa Aus? Gusto ko sana mag try before dumating dyan para atleast sa first week mo pa lang makasched ka ng face to face interview kung susuwertehin.

Yes, as long as you put it in your cover letter ..

My wife got 2 interviews when she went back to PH ..

chesian · January 2014

Nasabi na ito e ulitin ko lang dapat tailor fit yung resume mo sa aapplayan mong trabaho

like I am a Powerbuilder programmer pero since I also do some hardcore scripting ( SQL , MSS, SYBASE and Oracle ) I also apply on SQL jobs not jus Powerbuilder, so what I did is I have a Resume for SQL and One for a Powerbuilder Role so far puro PB jobs lang nakukuha ko pero im hopefull pa rin to a SQL jobs ....

magandang sign sa mga naghahanap ng job .... parang active na ulit ang mga headhunters ngayon.... may mga na receive akong calls these past two weeks from headhunters asking kung looking ako ng job ... compared to last 2 months.. ni isa alang tumawag...

so advise ko lang.. kindly make sure that you update your LinkedIn.. yung mga tumawag na recruiters... they found and decided to call me through my linkedin..

engrjamescastro · January 2014

@multitasking How do you sign up for those headhunter agencies?

multitasking · January 2014

@engrjamescastro .. I did not sign up to their agencies... lumabas lang ang profile ko when they search for candidates in LinkedIn...

hey guys..sa Linkedin paano niyo na mention na PR kayo?
tsaka sa resume yung 189/190 visa holder lng ba binanggit nyo?
ok din na banggitin pasado sa IELTS diba?

hope to get feedback about these.

Regarding visa status sa Linkedin, what i did is nilagay ko sya sa profile ko sa unahan ng "summary". I know someone na nilagay sya mismo after ng name, para makita agad siguro ng headhunters/ recruiter. Ako nilagay ko lang is "holds australian permanent visa 189 which give me rights to live and work anywhere in australia". basta importante ma emphasize kasi major requirements un lalong lalo na sa mga headhunters.

Sa ngaun dahil magulo pa isip ko hindi pa ako nagsusubmit ng job applications. but im planning to send messages personally sa mga linkedin account connections ko na recruiters sa australia to get advise and help before ako mag move sa Australia.

Usually, you can search sa seek, then makikita mo who posted the job. Most likely, that person have linkedin account. Also, the connections/ friends ng particular headhunters connection sa mo sa linkedin are also recruiters din and/or within their circle. Sila sila din minsan nag coconnect mapapansin mo yan minsan mga direct recruiters/ HR ng client Companies nila.

Mas ok kasi sa linkedin mas personal, like social media. I've got lot of calls/ potential opportunities through linkedin and monster talaga. Its a good networking sites. I know a lot of people na nakakuha ng jobs through referrals jan sa site na yan as compared to randomly sending resumes sa job sites. maybe because of filtering and thousands are submitting for same position, while sa linkedin medyo personal and dating.

I dont think important na banggitin pa ang IELTS.

Goodluck

Hi Guys,

BUMP ko lang yung thread since I know a lot of kababayans are still searching.

Also don't forget to make sure that you modify your CV and Cover letter AUS style

Best of luck to all!

multitasking · September 2014

As we all know, very important ang network here in Australia. I suggest for new migrants or even yung mga may work na to join or attend yung mga meetups.. for example.. i'm in IT industry.. nag member ako ng groups na related to Agile and attend ng mga meet ups.. Meet ups will help grow your network at the same pwede mo rin ma practice yung communication skills mo.. or have confidence in talking or introducing yourself to other people...free din yung mga meetups.. then most of the time.. may libre yung food and drinks dahil may mga company na nag sponsor...

ito yung website for Sydney... http://www.meetup.com/sydney/

meron din group on job and career.. may naka schedule na meetup this week (Sept 10)..

pinoykiwi_inOZ · January 2015

In addition to @multitasking, sa mga software tester na tulad namin you can attend or be a member of SIGiST (Special Interest Group in Software Testing) minsan may mga headhunters na pumunta dito so its good to meet and talk to them and make them as network or sometimes mga Testing consultancies ang nagsponsor ng seminar you might meet the right connections to their company at pwede rin makatulong. Every state meron nito at yung seminar is free tulad ng sabi ni multitasking. If you're lucky enough you might be able to talk to someone that can help you out to find a job or next career move.
