Job CV drafting service

Hundreds of students have written me emails saying they have applied for a tax file number and that they have the 20 hours work permit but are not able to find work anywhere. many have said that they are flexible enough to work later in the evenings/night shifts and are ready to do waitoring or other jobs involving manual labor, but are not able to get any work at all even after months of searching.

But what most of them dont realize is that getting a job also involves some costs in terms of investment. firstly, international students think that the CV that they have written is correct/ most appropriate. this is a misconception. for each job that you apply, you may have to make some changes. applying for a part time job or full time job in Australia may not be the same as in ones own country.

The resume that one submits is the first point of contact with the prospective employer and so if you get the CV right you are half way there already. so one must be willing to even pay a one time price to get their CV modified and suited to the job that one is interested in finding. many experienced CV writers charge upto 24.95$ per casual/part time job resume and 34.95$ for a full time job resume.

So, If you have applied to many many places for part time jobs and are not successful...then wonder no more...it could be your CV !

good luck with your resume writing and job search !

Part time job Resume: Essential Tips

This is a short post to summarize the Do's and Dont's on your resume which you write to apply for your part time job in australia. this might actually be the first ever job for many of you out there.

you could start your resume mentioning your name. then mention your key strenghts. are you flexible?
do you have the capacity to learn new things easily?
can you work on your own without much supervision?

next, talk about your work availability. when can you work?
what days?
what times?
weekends?
public holidays?
(you must choose after carefully inspecting your university time schedule and ensuring there is no clash between the two.)

mention your date of birth. this is very important because the employer needs to know if they are employing a minor or major. the pay rates are different for a minor when compared to a major.

visa status has to be definitely on your resume. you must clearly communicate to your possible employer that you are on a student visa and it entitles you to work upto a maximum of 20 hours a week and not more (unless your academic course is not in session. refere to the department of immigration web site for further updated details.)

what about previous experience? if you are applying for a job which you have already done in the past or have some experience in the past, then please mention it. even if it is for a very short time, having previous experience is a big plus point for you.

It is also mandatory that you give the contact details of two referees in australia. you must provide name, phone and email, and designation (where your referee is employed?) and your relation to you.

there is one more thing that you need to understand and have in mind. while applying for a casual job, if you explicitly quote that you are doing a postgraduate course in Information technology, biotechnology, MBA or some thing similar, then it might not be a great idea to quote your degree. the notion could be that you are too qualified for petty jobs and so you might not be readily considered. you  must be wary of this and act as per your discretion as the situation demands.
