G’day, job hunters!
Let’s be honest looking for a job these days can feel like climbing a mountain in thongs. It’s tough out there. But don’t worry if you’ve got a smart game plan, a polished application, and a bit of hustle, you can stand out and score the gig you’re after.
Here’s how to get ahead of the pack 👇
📄 Step 1: Sort Out Your Resume
Your resume is your first handshake with an employer make it count.
Keep it sharp and relevant. Highlight your best achievements, skills, and any experience (paid, unpaid, or even from uni/TAFE projects) that shows what you bring to the table. And don’t forget a strong summary at the top a couple of lines that tell them who you are and what you’re all about.
✉️ Cover Letter = Personal Touch
Tempting as it is, don’t just copy-paste the same cover letter for every job. Aussie employers can sniff that out a mile away.
Read the job ad properly and tailor your letter to what they’re actually looking for. Mention the company, the role, and why you’re keen. A personal, thoughtful cover letter shows you’ve made the effort and that effort goes a long way.
🎤 Interview Coming Up? Be Ready
Landed an interview? Awesome. Now’s the time to prep like a legend.
Google the company. Check their socials. Learn about their vibe, what they stand for, and what they’ve been up to. Think about the kind of questions they might ask and have a few questions of your own ready too. Practising with a mate can help you feel more confident on the day.
🤝 Get Around Networking
Here’s the deal—not every job gets advertised online.
So get involved. Attend industry events, join career fairs, follow companies you like on LinkedIn, and chat to people in the field. Sometimes, a quick convo can lead to an opportunity you didn’t even know existed.
