Resume/Cover Letter

You must ensure that you have a customized CV/Resume and Cover Letter. Do not recycle your CV that you used for applying to jobs in your home nation. Your CV and CL must be in the Australian Format.

TFN/ABN

You will need a TFN - Tax File Number before you can work in Australia and it is similar to your SSN - Social Security Number. In case you are self-employed, you will require an ABN- Australian Business Number (ABN). You can request for both online.

Australian Bank Account

You will need a Bank Account in Australia before you can start working in the nation. You can have a bank account even before you arrive in Australia through an online application.

Job Search Engines

After completing the above steps, you can commence your Australian job search through search engines and job portals.

Apply in person

You can apply in person to jobs that do not require particular skills.

Australian Job Search Engines

We have here compiled a list of top Australian Job Search Engines or Job Boards:

Hidden Job Market

Most job opportunities in Australia are not advertised openly. So to find a job you will have to understand the labor market and create your own opportunities. Searching for a job implies developing your network through direct communication with employers and contacts in Australia.

You may have to check your Facebook community groups for individuals who are hiring or ask your friends to keep a check on the job openings at their workplace.

By tapping the hidden job market and exploring employment services for immigrants you can overcome employment barriers in Australia.

Immigrant Employment Services

SSI - Settlement Services International is a nationwide not-for-profit association in Australia. It introduces individuals from various backgrounds to employment and training pathways and offers programs aimed at immigrants and refugees.

SSI Head of Employment Services Joudy Lazkany says that the organization helps immigrants understand what is required for jobs. Further, SSI also helps them in how all their paperwork can be translated into evidence base in Australia and obtain recognition for their overseas credentials. The job search ways and researching businesses is also something that SSI assists with, added Lazkany.

SSI can help you to understand how your overseas occupation can look in Australia. It also introduces you to businesses locally to help you sell yourself.

AMES Australia offers free employment services to immigrants through the Workforce Australia program of the Government of Australia. It also manages the Skilled Professional Migrants Program which introduces immigrants to the workplace in Australia.

Volunteering Jobs

Volunteering can truly help your career. Your employability will be boosted through the soft and hard skills that you acquire. You can also outshine the competition in this way. Further, finding the right job for your circumstances is not difficult as Australia has abundant volunteering opportunities.
