Setting up your SEEK profile
It's really easy to set yourself up on seek.com.au. SEEK is Australia's leading job search website with thousands of jobs all over Australia in every single field you can imagine. They have on their website some advice on how to create a Seek profile that will stand out and it's really simple to register and upload your resume. You can even choose to make your profile public which will encourage employers to come to you!
There are other job search websites too. In another article, I look at the difference between SEEK and Indeed.
Applying for jobs on SEEK
Once you've set up your profile, well then it's up to you to start applying for jobs. Employers can't find you unless you apply for the jobs they have advertised. Just make sure to select Sydney as the location.
Polishing up your resume and cover letter
It's time to refresh and brighten up your old resume. Make sure it's updated and relevant to the kind of jobs that you want to apply for. If you need help in writing a new and tailored CV and cover letter, contact our team and we would be more than happy to help.
Customising your cover letter for every job
It's really important to make sure you attach a personalised cover letter for every job that you apply for. Your cover letter should introduce you and explain why you want the job and what you have to offer. If there is a set of key selection criteria to address, make sure you respond to each criteria. As professional Sydney key selection criteria writers, we can help you with this too.
Getting active networking on LinkedIn
LinkedIn is a global career networking website for professionals. It's social media for the workplace. It's also a fantastic place to network with likeminded professionals and get in touch with recruiters who often post jobs on it. Writing a great LinkedIn profile takes time, energy and dedication. Make sure your LinkedIn profile stands out and represents you well.
So there you have it, my top 5 suggestions that may help you to secure work sooner in Sydney.
