From experience ko, zero probability ko to get a job listed sa job sites. I was able to get a job by submitting my CV directly to the companies that I think needed me and thank you Lord that they did really need me.

C++ developer po ako and C++ developer pa rin po ako now. I started out in telecom industry sa pinas then got a job in SG with a bank, then dahil sa market downturn nakalipat sa casino industry where iyun software nila do interfacing with hardware so kelangan C++ dun. Hirap nga po maghanap ng C++ jobs kasi easy to learn siya but difficult to be expert in but this is a technology issue. I initially tried jobhunting sites and got nowhere with that. Then I checked out my CV kung anong industry ako pwede so telecom, banking at casino. I searched google first what companies are in Sydney in those domains. I initially tried melbourne but when I failed a phone interview, I decided to focus on Sydney at may relatives rin dito. I then sent my cover letter and CV directly sa mga websites nila sa careers section. I got rejection letters but at least rejection letters from HR not from recruiters. You have a name to contact na if ever gusto mo balikan iyun company na yun.
I also started joining linkedin groups related to those domains. Pag may nag post opening sa linkedin groups na yun, I check kung headhunter siya o HR of the company. Pag HR siya of the company I connect with them first and send them a linkedin message afterwards just a short message asking if there are available jobs and why I would like to work for them. I try to be as nice as possible in that message. Talks start from there or it goes nowhere. Once kilala ka na and they have confidence that you are not a fake person with fake work credentials then job talks start. I was able to get skype interviews from Singapore once I had the blessing of the HR. Medyo mabagal mag ka job offer mga big companies because the first big company that contacted me, contacted me in april 2013 and possibly ngayon lang ako magkakaron ng job offer sa kanila in October 2013. In the meantime, I got the first job offer I could get after searching online for 2 months in Singapore.
So in short I used google then social media (i.e. linkedin mostly, facebook secondary) to find the HR of the companies. Then try to contact them directly by calling or sending an introductory email. Ang maganda pa with social media is you get to see how people are connected in the industry you are working for. Word gets around here so babala lang sa iba na ingat kayo na no matter how difficult your boss is wag na wag mo dapat sila makaka-away. Sira na job profile mo for 2 years if ever that happens to you as shared by a relative.

Part 3 #4 Cold call. Locate a specific person who can help you (usually the human resources or hiring manager at a company or organization you're interested in). Call that person and ask if they are hiring, but do not become discouraged if they are not. Ask what kind of qualifications they look for or if they have apprentice or government-sponsored work programs. Ask if you can send your resume indicating what field you want to go into. Indicate whether you would accept a lesser job and work up.
- Reflect after each phone call on what went well and what did not. Consider writing out some standard answers on your list of skills so you can speak fluently. You may need to get some additional training to break into your chosen field. None of this means you cannot get a good job, only that you need to become further prepared to do so.
- Visit the company or business in person. There's a saying among employers: "People don't hire resumes; people hire people." Don't underestimate the value of personal relationships. Go to the company or business where you think you might want to work, bring your resume, and ask to speak to the Human Resources manager about job opportunities. If you make an excellent personal impression on the HR manager, you've done your job: s/he will have connected your face to a resume, and will have a much better idea of your natural intelligence, your persistence, and your likability. People don't always hire the person best suited for the job; people often hire the person they like the best.

San ka sa Australia? Sabay tayong dumating Sept 1st ako nag land sa Sydney. I got 3 job offers after 6 weeks. Naka ilang interview ka na? Ano ang skills mo? First you have to do is to make your CV noticed. Customize your CV accdg to the job description as they always say. Then once invited for interview they prefer someone who is outspoken and can express himself very well.

arrived september 5. sadly wala pa ako nakuhang interview. i've applied to positions in other states pero no luck pa din. i'm thinking it's because i'm living in melbourne? and yes, i've been changing up my CV and cover letters. still no luck.
i have a cousin in sydney i can live with for a while. do you think that would be a good idea?
@tassburrfoot
no need to apologize. i think un nga din talaga ung reality. i have other skills so may hope pa din. i have also been applying to BSA and test analyst.
@JCsantos
