Hi @pinoykiwi_inOZ SOP ba sa Oz na humihungi at tinatawagan lagi yung referees.. or may companies na ihhire ka na lang agad after a few interviews, even for professional-level positions. @wizardofOz, Not sure if there are companies that will hire …

in How do you 'compete' without 'local' experience? Comment by pinoykiwi_inOZ January 2015
Normally twice lang ang interview dito (in IT) not sure with other fields. First one will be getting to know the applicant, the second is the make or break, mas malaki ang chance na mahire pag hiningi ang referees mo. Kasi at this stage 2 or 3 peopl…

@vhoythoy, the are not so fussy when it comes to referees. Seldom they will ask your immediate manager or your current manager. They understand that you are looking for new position so they will not ask for managers.
