An Untold Story: The First Few Steps

Allskills Recruitment & Migration Services was chosen to be one of the best three migration firms in Australia last April 2019. On the article written by Eileen Shone from Three Best Rated, the story of the man behind the each three successful migration firms in Australia was told. Here’s the inspiring story of Felix Carao, the director of Allskills Recruitment & Migration Services from the article.

   

                         Felix Carao still remembers the day he immigrated to Australia like it was yesterday. He had to work harder than he did back in his home country to succeed. “The only difference is that in Australia, your perseverance and sacrifice will bear fruit. You will reap what you sow,” Felix says. When he and his family arrived in Australia he had no one to turn to for advice. “I learned everything the hard way,” he says, “I migrated to Adelaide, South Australia on a provisional skilled visa with a nominated occupation of a Senior Manager or CEO.” He had a positive skills assessment from the Australian Institute of Management and tried to apply for senior management roles with an impressive 10-page resume with no results. “Little did I know that you need local experience in the role before any employer will even interview you,” Felix says, “My first jobs were as a pizza delivery driver and kitchen hand. I also worked as a taxi driver on the weekends just to make ends meet.”

                                          The hardships Felix faced when he immigrated to Australia inspired him to become a migration agent in 2010. “I could share my first hand migration experiences for others to learn from,” he says, “In every service I offer, I try to assist and provide continuing advice to my clients even after their visas are granted. My motto is “We don't only get you to Australia, we help you find your way when you get here”.” He credits this personalized and open approach as the main reason AllSkills Recruitment and Migration Services is thriving.

                           Felix also worked hard to get his name known. When he first started his business he had no clients, no experience, and no income. “In order to get my name out there, I tried to attend all the social events of my local community, distributed my business cards and fliers,” Felix says. He even advertised in the local Filipino newspaper in Melbourne. “The hardest part of starting a new business is not knowing when you will get your next client,” he says. Felix had to fight every step of the way to become successful. He sacrifices time with his family to spend time with his clients so they feel as though they can trust Felix. “I treat [my clients and prospects] as if they were my family,” he says.

                     When Felix learned that Three Best Rated named AllSkills as one of the top migration agents in Darwin,NT for 2019, he was surprised. “I know that there were a lot more migration agents... that were more experienced so being chosen as one of the three best rated is an honor,” he says. The buck doesn't stop there, however. Felix wants to continue to get better with every passing year. “Being listed also means that the public has acknowledged the hard work and the reputation that you have built throughout the years and it is your responsibility to maintain and uphold that trust that the public has bestowed you,” Felix says.

Starting a business is like learning how to walk when you are still a baby, the first few steps are always the hardest ones. However, one cannot move forward without taking the courage to finally make the first step and overcome the fear of not making any progress. The first few steps don’t need to be big steps; taking series of small steps for your business but in the right direction will surely create great results. There is always a perfect time for your business to finally take a great leap without stumbling.
