I'm having difficulty finding a job.

happyinmelbourne34 · March 2014

@happyinmelbourne34, just in case 55 points lang po ako, option ko is SS para may 5 points. with 60 points, so pwede na ako makaproceed. kaso lang, South Australia lang ang may opening sa state sponsorship sa IE

Ahhh, oo nga yan nga ung nabanggit ni sir lockcode na SA lang ang open sa state sponsorship para sa mga IE. Anyhow, goodluck po sa application mo. Pero in general medyo mahirap ng makahanap ng mfng job dto dahil daming nagsasara na company dahil sa cost..dito a Melbourne sunod sunod na nag-announce na sasarado ng Ford, Holden at Toyota ung mga manufacturing facilities nila starting next yr until 2017 and job losses could reach as high as 50,000. Pero if your experience is a Planner, I think madami nman opportunities supply/demand planner specially sa mga FMCG, or Pharmaceuticals un nga lang either here in Melbourne or Sydney

happyinmelbourne34 · March 2014

medyo advantage din po kung APICS certified ka specially kung supply chain planner ung gusto mo na field. If available ung mga APICs courses sa current location mo, magpa member ka then kung afford mo take at least ung Basics of Supply Chain Mngt kc medyo malaking advantage ung my APICS certification, its internationally recognise my kamahalan nga lang ung mga courses at ung membership fee (I think depends sa location pero dto ~200AUD ung membership fee and 1 course fee is about 1,400AUD ung price)..

@happyinmelbourne34, Thanks po sa tips. I think may isang course akong natapos dati sa Pinas under APICS. I'll check my certificates/docs. Thanks po.

Thanks po. Sana maka-189 para Sydney; else, if 190 lang, sana magkaroon pa ng job opportunities sa SA for IE.

Hi - May copy pa po ba kau nung recommended CV format ng AU government? di na nag work yung Link.

2 week na mga application ko ni isa wala pa reply by email or phone call =(

IT field ko sa infra.

thank in advance sa mag forward ng copy or a working link

IslanderndCity · April 2014

@slamania102 are you in Au now applying jobs? or away from Au & applying online muna?

jr17sg · April 2014

Ako naman po ay pinalad at 2 companies ang nagbigay sa akin ng offer. Ang 1 inaapplyan ko thru LinkedIn, at yung 1 naman eh nirefer ako ng friend ng friend ko. May mga ilan din ako na inapplyan sa mga job sites pero lahat sila parang mga headhunters at ni 1 call wala ako nakuha sa kanila. Pero almost 2 weeks lang naman po ako nagsubmit ng mga resume.

Sa tingin ko po eh kung directly nyo maccontact ang company, mas maganda. And kung OK naman ang experience nyo at qualified eh wala kayo dapat ikahiya, tawag lang sa kanila & mag-enquire. Lahat ng mga na-meet ko sa mga interview ay friendly kausap. Di tulad sa SG haha.

EDIT: .NET Web Developer po pala ako

kremitz · April 2014

Hi, was also thinking about getting to Australia through student visa first, mag aaral muna and then eventually look for a job.. but sa mga nababasa ko dito, it seems like hindi din ganun kadali maghanap ng work.. as for the odd jobs, mahirap din po ba maghanap? and if you do happen to land one, is it sufficient enough to support your daily expenses? Thanks

lock_code2004 · April 2014

@5000rpm - for daily expenses, i would say, yes you can support yourself while working part time under student visa...

but probably not for tuition fee.. especially kung UNI na 20k ang tuition..
pwede pa sguro kung TAFE na 5k-10k per year ang tuition fee..

probably not, the last time I check, one semester as an I.S. will cost you 40-50K so times 2 para sa 1 year.

slamania102 · April 2014

@IslanderndCity im here in au. Cranbourne

IslanderndCity · April 2014

@slamania102 ahh. so are you working now?

5000rpm · April 2014

@lock_code2004 - thank you for the input..
@icebreaker1928 - thanks..

Sushigurl · April 2014

@5000rpm Most of the odds jobs here are being taken by working holiday visa holder... Hindi ganun kadali RPM. Do ensure that you have sufficient funds for your stay..

5000rpm · April 2014

@Sushigurl - will keep that in mind.. thank you..

majoser12 · April 2014

medyo nakakadepress ng kaunti yung mga post kung gaano kahirap maghanap ng work dito, siguro lalo pa sa students who are seeking PR here tulad ko.

(

but then again, pinoy tayo hehe!

)

) walang hindi kakayanin, walang hindi kayang lagpasan. salita lang yan pero likas na sa atin ang lumaban. bago lang din po ako dito mga kabayan. galing din ako sa dubai, nagbakasakali dito as student, taking up IT Network Security as specialization, kakarating ko lang po last week hehe, currently seeking for a part time job kahit ano po muna.

wala po ako hinihiling mula sa inyo, kaya ko naman po kumilos mag isa at makipagsapalaran sa labas, i will appreciate kung ano man po tulong meron, wala pa po ako masyadong kakilala dito pero positibo ako na makakahanap din at eventually maPR dito.

ask ko lang po if may meetups po mga pinoy dito? recommend ko na rin po itong website na ito if ever may plano pong meetups.. http://www.meetup.com/

laban lang kabayan!

slamania102 · May 2014

Issue ba talaga kung ang travel time mo to CBD is an hour?

mtenchavez · May 2014

@IslanderndCity im here in au. Cranbourne

Same state din pala tayo pre VIC din and with same profession as well. How's your job hunting so far? Any luck? I assume your target work place is within Melbourne CBD?

slamania102 · May 2014

@mtenchavez
Wala pa brod, may tumatawag naman pero ang lagi tanong is regarding sa lugar ko kung ilang oras. maganda nman ang train system dito sa Vic. ang brother ko kasi nandto sa cranbourne kya for the meantime dito muna ako till makakita work.

sa one month ko dito nkakaisa pa lng na interview ako direct sa company, and that was two weeks ago so mukang Malabo na yun. bka mag rent ako malapit sa city kung talagang issue and address.

Ikaw may work ka na?

Same case tayo bro I'm also staying in my bro's unit but i'm here in North Melbourne (Near CBD) at the moment. I assume your brother is the one who sponsored you? I notice same Visa subclass pala tayo bro 489 family sponsored ka rin. Agree, maganda yung train system dito. on time palagi and sufficient ang trains and most of all comfortable kasi hindi siksiksikan sa loob. I assume your taking Metro train (blue line) when you're going to CBD?

Konting tyaga lang bro. mabagal talaga ang turn around time ng mga feedback and calls ng recruiter or headhunter dito sa OZ. In my case, I've been staying here for like almost 2 months already and so far naka 2 Headhunter personal interviews pa lang ako and 1 technical test sa client. At least ikaw naka client interview ka na pala. Yung dun sa employer na nag-interview kamo sayo, it wouldn't hurt to make a follow up to them about your application. Just give them call bro baka mamaya they are still in the recruitment stage pa rin waiting for other applicants lang. I don't think issue yung location mo bro consistent naman ang trains dito on-time palagi madalang ang delays. just tell that to your interviewers next time baka iba lang perceptions nila about the train system here. kasi they have their own car..hehehe

Wala pa bro. Job hunting mode pa rin up to now. im giving myself a deadline ng End of June. pag wala pa rin mag-odd jobs muna ako tempo. kasi need k mag-ipon ng pera bago pumunta ng family ko dito sa melbourne ng september para may pangastos sa daily expenses. update mo na lang ako bro kung may nahanap ka ng job. Have faith! makakahanap din tayo ng work eventually!

slamania102 · May 2014

@mtenchavez
Yup 489 yung brother ko ang sponsor ko. yesterday mag follow-up na ako dun sa company. pareho din tau yung family ko nasa pinas pa muna but they wont be here till next year.

I noticed na ACS ka rin, if you dont mind me asking, anong forte mo or platform?
ako sa infra Wintel and VMware tska messaging

mtenchavez · May 2014

@slamania102
sa servers ka pala. sa web development naman ako sir using .NET framework tsaka i'm doing B.I (Business Intelligence) work as well. Apply lang ng apply im sure may makukuha tayo later on. according to my brother may until august tayo to look for a job after that stop if not slowdown hiring ang mga companies sa I.T work bale january of next year na ang start ng recruitment ulit.

@TasBurrfoot @happyinmelbourne34 Thank you for sharing, at least it will give hope to job hunters like me trying hard to get into employment.

lester_lugtu · May 2014

Hi. Share ko lang.

I've been here in melbourne more than 1 month na. hindi ko alam kung nahihirapan ako mag-apply o hindi lang tlga napapansin application ko. kasi lahat na halos maintenance job pinasahan ko ng resume and yet ni 1 walang tumatawag. cgro dhl hindi pako PR. 457 lng visa ko, dependant type pa! ultimo duct cleaning technician inaapplyan ko na din,. nahihirapan lang ako tanggapin na this time wala pa tlga ako trabaho.

pero i am losing hope. apply lang ng apply, kahit magwinter na! apply lang ng apply! pag nalulungkot ako, ikinakain ko lang hehehe.
