Platinumjobseeker™ is confident that the urrent state of the job market in Australia is strong. The unemployment rate is at a record low of 3.4%, and there are more job openings than there are unemployed people.
The biggest job growth sectors in Australia are:
-
Information and communication technology (ICT)
-
Showing increased numbers of job ads, quarter on quarter.
-
Healthcare and social assistance
-
Professional, scientific and technical services
-
Construction
-
Education and training
Here are 10 easy tips that Australian jobseekers can rely on to increase their chances of securing an interview with prospective employers, or with the agencies that represent those employers:
-
Tailor your resume and cover letter to each PlatinumTick™ job (or any other job) for which you apply. A standardised resume with no reference to the key points and stipulated skillset of an advertised job is next to useless.
-
Use keywords that are relevant to the job in your resume and cover letter. Sometimes, writing to the keywords and incorporating those keywords in your application can answer the bulk of the prequalification questions that would be asked.
-
Proofread your resume and cover letter carefully before submitting them. Mistakes, even simple ones, can cost you the job.
-
Network with people in your field.
-
Attend industry events and conferences.
-
Volunteer your time to gain experience.
-
Keep your skills up-to-date.
-
Be persistent and don’t give up.
-
Be prepared to relocate.
-
Be willing to negotiate your salary.
Here are some additional tips for our Australian Platinumjobseekers:
-
Use social media to your advantage. Create a professional profile on www.platinumjobseeker.com and other social media platforms, and use them to connect with people in your field.
-
Stay positive and motivated. The job search process can be tough, but it’s important to stay positive and motivated. Remember, you’re not alone in this, and the unique tools provided to you by Platinumjobseeker™ such as the ability to upload your own personal “pitch video”, your own dedicated job application dashboard, and a guarantee from the site that if you apply for a PlatinumTick™ category job, you WILL get a response to your application – all of which are designed to offer you the best and most supportive job search experience.
-
Don’t be afraid to ask for help. If you’re struggling, don’t be afraid to ask for help or support from friends, family, or a career counsellor.
