    Yung wife ko, kakadating lang first week of April dito sa Perth tapos twice pa lang nagsubmit ng mga applications, sunod-sunod kaagad interviews nya this week. Di pa talaga sya seryoso nagaapply kc nageenjoy pa sila ng baby namin sa bakasyon. Yung cv format nya, pang entry level pa ang style, hahaha... Tapos 6pages pa. Sabi ko ayusin na nya ang format at yung medyo professional na ang dating. Good thing kahit di pa sya naguupdate ng cv, dami na kaagad tumatawag sa kanya for interviews. Kanina may interview sya with the head hunter, impressive daw job history nya at malawak ang alam sa accounting (good thing maganda records nya sa SG). Ipinasa na ung application nya sa client at kapag nagustuhan, start na agad sya next week. Nakakablessed lang dahil kahit di pa sya nagsseryoso sa pagaapply ay marami na kaagad nakakapansin ng applications nya. Sa Friday meron ulit sya interview, problem na naman kung saan iiwan ang bata. Haha..

    Sa lahat ng applicants, konting tyaga at patience pa, darating din ang good opportunities para sa ating lahat.

    Congrats sa wife mo @clickbuddy2009. Ano pala background and work history nya? San sya nagsubmit sa Seek lang? Yup, wala sa number of pages talaga yan (2-6 pages) mas importante yung content hehe.

    Hi @vhoythoy, musta na? Kelan lipad mo dito? Di ko alam bro kung ano mga tawag sa background ng accounting hahaha.. Pero full set ang ginagawa nya mula pa sa pinas hanggang SG. 6years din sya sa SG and ang alam ko, madugo palagi ginagawa nya esp month ends. Yup, sa seek din daw sya nagpapasa ng applications. Hindi pa nya iniedit ang cv base sa hinahanap ng company. Basta pasa lang daw sya ng pasa. Natatawa nga ako sa content ng cv nya kasi pati elementary at HS, nakalagay. I guess ang nakakaattract dun ay yung bandang last part nya na nakalagay ang pangalan ko at work. Bwahahaha.. Joke!!! Pero halos lahat na daw ng ginagawa ng accountant ay nilagay nya sa role kaya medyo madami daming responsibilities din ang nakaindicate sa cv.

    Problem pa namin kung saan iiwan ang bata incase matanggap sya sa work kc kelangan din ata ng reservation kung ipapasok sa play group. Isang option is iuwi muna sa Pinas at kunin ko na lang ulit kapag natapos na assignment ko dito by June.

    Musta na SG? Miss na miss ko n kumain ng fly lice at magulong buhay dyan.

    Hindi rin pala sya CPA or member ng any organization dito sa AU. So ang talagang maipapakita lang nya sa future employers ay ung solid work experiences nya.

    Musta na SG? Miss na miss ko n kumain ng fly lice at magulong buhay dyan.
    Hehe, eto nagpapahinog parin sa SG. July 26 to Aug 2 mag Initial Entry plang kami jan. Plano is pagbalik from IED, mag start na ako magapply apply sa Seek kahit wala pa ako sa Australia. Pag nakaipon konti pambaon pwede rin siguro ako muna mauna pumunta jan kahit wala pa work. Pero pagnakuha ko bonus sa December, pwede na kami pumunta with my family early as soon as possible. Lets see ano mangyayari. Ayoko sumugal kasi basta basta ng walang bala. Ano nman kasi ung ilang months na pasensya nlang for something great.

    Right now, nag-eedit plang din ng resume. Dapat at least my dalawa akong versions hehe. Di ko talaga ma gets exactly yan Australian format ng resume. Parang ganun din naman itsura sa dati ko pang resumes. Iba iba din ang nababasa ko at nadidinig na pananaw sa bilang ng pages ng resume at sa lalim ng detalye na dapat ilagay. Sabi sa pdos, 1 page lang daw or max 2, di ko alam kung nanghuhula lang un, siguro pwede sa bagong graduate plang or wala pang masyadong work experiences. Sa akin kasi pinakamaikli ko na magagawa is 3 pages. Sa mga headhunters blogs nman sa Linkedin, mga 3-4 pages daw. Sa british expats forum nman, may nabasa ko from a certain forumer nagsasabi na mas maraming pages at mas detalye mas maganda mas gusto ng employer. So depende din talaga sa tao, sa working experiences and qualifications nya. I therefore conclude na mas importante tlaga ung laman at presentation. Dapat nandun din tlaga yung hinahanap ng employer. Iba iba din kasi preferences ng bawat employer so wala tlaga hard and fast rule. Then, equally important din kung paano ka magperform sa interview to get the offer.

    Accountant talaga work ng wife mo handling full sets of accounts. Maganda yan lalo na may experience sya using different accounting systems. Ako medyo halo2 ang naging working experiences ko haha. Though nag accountant din ako dati pero less than 2 years lang, specific account pa. Congrats ulit. Mukhang Perth na talaga kayo destined ah hehe

    Yup ayos yan. Pero after nya mag settle sa work and may extra time and motivations pa, better din na kumuha sya ng CPA Australia/CA/ or CMA australia Or kahit ung CTA (Chartered Tax Adviser) Australia. Dagdag credentials na pwede nya magamit in the future. Probably when moving up in ranks or trying to move in other Company. Not really mandatory, but good to have. Try nyo mag childcare kung parehas may work. Add mo nga ako sa Linkedin, di na tyo nag meet dito sa SG bago ka umalis. Di natuloy mga EB.

    Di na sana pupunta tomorrow ang wife ko sa interview nya since wala magbabantay ng daughter namin. Pero gusto ng managing director na pumunta sya and is more than happy to bring along our daughter in the interview. It's only about 1/2 hr chatting and getting to know each other na lang daw.

    Is it a good thing na ba? Or just normal here in AU na pwede magdala ng bata during interview?

    @staycool - how did you get the job? Did you tailor fit your resume for that job? Kahit ako nsa lugar mo igrab ko whatever n job yung available just to survive, taas p naman ng cost of living dito. Sooner darating din ang oppportunities s ating lahat.

    yeah, kumuha ako ng RSA...need mo din kse yun...yun yang nagpakuha sa akin sa job...gumawa ako ng ibang resume na HINDI ACCTG ... na as if may one year experience ako sa food and beverage, jollibee or something...hahah...

    yeah, I think it is better namagkaroon ng job to pay the rent...graveyard shift pa nga ata ang makukuha ko...and 5-star hotel yun so eventually baka pwede ako mag-apply sa acctg if ever ...
