From day one of your studies, or even if you are halfway through, it is never too soon to consider what career or role you’re interested in.
A big challenge people face is working out what positions to look for and how. Here’s an easy way to figure it out and start your journey. Get onto a job website like SEEK, enter a salary range and a location if you wish. Enter the category type, leaving off the subcategory and keywords, then press 'search'. Yes, there may be advertisements, but it will become obvious which ones to skip. If you do this regularly you will learn the following:
If you want to land a great position sooner rather than later, don’t be too casual with your searching. Of course, your current situation affects how much time you have to research. If you work full-time, have a family, plus you’re studying, then there won’t be much spare time. Scheduling at least 30 minutes a day is better than waiting for the weekend. It all adds up, and over a couple of weeks you will have plenty of quality applications out there.
It’s important to build momentum. It’s of little value applying for a position and, because you are so excited about it, deciding you won’t apply for anything else until you hear about this one – that is the wrong strategy. Keep applying for positions. You never know if you will hear back or how long it will take. It might even turn out the role isn’t quite what you thought. The more opportunities you have open means the more likely some will convert to interviews, then to offers.
A résumé (also known as a curriculum vitae – CV for short), is a document that explains your skills, achievements and personal details. Résumés are most often used when applying for a new job.
We all should have a master copy of our résumé, but for some applications you may need to modify it to suit the job you are applying for. This means extrapolating in some areas or cutting back in others. Tailor your résumé for a specific application and highlight what skills/experience that are relevant for that particular application.
Application/covering letters are one-page documents that you include with your résumé when applying for a job. They give you the opportunity to introduce yourself and demonstrate why you would be suitable for the job.
Imagine you’re applying for a job role with a salary package of $60k and you’ve written a 350-word application/covering letter. Divide 350 into the 60K and every word on the page has a potential value of $171.42.
In most cases, organisations will want to host interviews with applicants who have progressed in the job application process. There are different types of interview styles and methods that you should be ready for.
It is not uncommon for candidates to attend an interview at the organisation's premises. The interview is typically hosted by one or more interviewers who will ask pointed questions to you in an attempt to determine your suitability for the position.
Once you have started applying for positions you need to be prepared for scheduled and unscheduled phone interviews. Sometimes the organisation will call, email or SMS you to arrange a day and time. This allows you to review your application and gather your thoughts before the call. Sometimes they will call and ask if you are free to talk right away. It happens, so you need to be able to deal with any situation.
A group interview might involve a few candidates, or perhaps even 20. It depends on the role and what the organisation finds the most effective and time-efficient. Group interviews involve activities of some kind.
