Ways to apply to jobs in Australia

freelancer_babe

seek.com.au lang ba ang website na pwedeng tignan kung may opening?

Puro online application ba kapag nag-a-apply sa Australia?

Kasi sinubukan kong maghanap ng work sa seek.com.au. Medyo nalungkot ako sa nakita ko kasi halos senior level or puro very specialized skill ang nakita ko doon sa website.

Kung sakaling maapprove pala ang VISA ko at doon sa Australia na lang maghahanap ng trabaho, mahirap pala? Pero di ko rin maimagine kung paano nakakahanap ang new graduates, kasi wala rin akong makitang opening rin para sa kanila.

Unless siguro na may iba pang mga paraan para maghanap ng jobs like yung lumang style na newspaper ads at walk-ins?

Reply to @Robbie1977: thanks! i didn't see that suggestion, kahit ang dami ko nang nabasang threads dito. mas marami akong nakikitang suggestion to go to oz first tapos doon na maghanap ng job kasi daw mas favorable daw sa employers.

but another group of people tells also na hindi rin daw madaling makahanap kahit nandoon na.

so halos walang bayad pag sa agency dito right? mabilis ba kung coursed sa agency or mas mabilis pa rin ang kung lilipat pa rin sa oz?

Reply to @freelancer_babe: Depende sa course, so far ang rinig ko e mga IT yung iba nakakakuha ng work na via internet interview lang. In general to sis a but not applicable to all. Swertehan ba, In my case, accounting, mahirap ngayon. Kakilala kong mga engineers na hirapan rin. Kahit ano jobs muna just to pay the bills.

Reply to @Sushigurl: oo nga ang weird eh.

Marami ngang opening pero halos puro specialized talaga ang skills - yung tipong di pwede sa mga konti ang experience. At least doon sa nakita ko sa seek.com.au.

Hmm.. so madali pala sa mga IT. Kausap ko lang kanina ang isang kaibigan ko na nasa IT. Nakakuha siya ng work after 2 weeks lang pagkarating sa Melbourne.

As long as may granted visa ka na, effective yang seek.com.au

Kung wala kayo mahanap, mag part time na lang muna kayo sa Australia then habang nagppart time, saka kayo kusa maghanap ng full time na babagay sa credentials niyo 🙂

Reply to @LokiJr: yun din ang nagpapa-complicate rin ng things.

oh wait, pwede ang temporary visa rin sa paghahanap ng work?

Metaform

Nung March may nag-reply sa akin ng offer na agency na in-applyan ko sa seek.com (sinubukan ko lang naman magpasa sa ilang openings). Nung sinabi ko na magsa-submit pa lang ako ng visa application, hindi na sila nag-reply. I guess that answers the question kung madali bang makakuha ng employer na magi-sponsor papunta doon.

Reply to @Metaform: ugali ata ang di magreply no? yun ang medyo di ko nagustuhan sa mga Aussies. Di mo agad alam ang status.

employment.byron.com.au/

i haven't really got to an interview as i can see they'll need police clearance(need mo nbi clearance mo to apply) and driver's license(i think P1 would suffice)

From time to time, I am submitting online application sa seek.com.au and I get few calls already but nothing solid yet. I have not started lodging my ACS assessment since kulang pa COE ko so try try lang baka maka-tsamba 😃

By the way, I am from the VoIP/Telco industry.

Hi @LokiJr. I have a PR visa and arrived in Melbourne about a month ago. This is exactly my "action plan" before I got here. I'm applying in Seek.com.au and while waiting for interviews na in line with my field of work (IT), I'm also trying to get a part time job. Kaya lang, it's not that easy as well. 🙁

Can anyone give tips on how a person without experience apply part time / odd jobs in AU? Uso ba ang walk-in dito?

Ok yang seek.com I tried applying there online last year and I was overwhelmed by the responses. Some replied just after 2 hours I sent my resume and some requesting me for interview. Its just too bad last year wala pakong visa nun, and they said gusto nila me visa kana cuz they dont sponsor since it takes long time and too costly for them.

Now di kopa natrtry mag apply uli sa seek, still need to update my cv. Ill start applying by next week siguro, ill inform u guys if ever I can get a job offer dun hopefully. [-O<

Hi @ellah. I had a number of interviews with some agencies over the phone. Ang tip na nakuha ko from my friends who's been here a long time is to try to sell yourself kahit na let's say yung experience na hinahanap is not really your forte. Usually kasi di ba ang dami nilang nilalagay na requirements. kung nasa IT ka parang super programmer ang hanap which is bihira naman ang meron lahat nong skillset na specified nila. Our goal is to get past the initial interview from the agencies and get to the client interview na.

Reply to @paris_hipon: Hi paris, what is your occupation?

LokiJr

@maanrb I think yung part time puwede walk in basta may naka-post sa establishment...yung sa full time, unless online, I heard from many forumers in Australia na malaking tulong ang mga agents or headhunters

hi, newbie po ako dito sa site...i am frm sg. we are a family of 5, PR dito except the youngest son who's 10mos old lng. my hubby's senior EA sa isang multinational manufacturing company dito. im just wondering if theres a positive chance for us kun mag apply kami for migration? ive contacted 1 agent and positive nman ang reply nila (di kaya dhil sa potential fee nila?) which will be costly. we are willing to take the risk nman ang worry lng ni husband, un chance nya sa application palang ba ng visa ngayon? inputs nman please. nakita ko rin sa ibang site, kelangan nya rin ng assessment frm engineering at pwede sya khit nga sa EA, tama ba. he is not an engr grad, but computer science pero almost 7yrs of experience nya na etong sa manufacturing...wala nman prob sa amin if we will start all over again sa ibang bansa nman kc...

thanks in advance sa reply...

LokiJr

@mcris, yes, all agents will give you some good news para maengganyo kayo kumuha ng serbisyo nila hehe...but some of them are really good though, so it might be worth the cost.

Dun po sa tanong niyo, importante po talaga makuha yung skills assessment...Yun ang unang hakbang sa visa application. Di naman siya ganun kamahal so you can just give it a try 🙂 You should have a more concrete plan once you have the results 🙂

Halos lahat po ng member ng site nakakuha visa without availing the services of an agent. Pero kung may budget for that why not. Hehe. Kailangan lang magbigay ng oras sa pagbabasa and backread lang dito sa forum. Really big help for me.
