6 Strategies to help you land your dream Job in Australia as a Foreign National

RESEARCH JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN ADVANCE

Before moving to Australia, explore the local work market and hunt for positions that fit your qualifications. You can use job search websites like Seek and Indeed, as well as the websites of individual companies and recruitment agencies.

Look for positions that match your qualifications, skills, and experience, and tailor your resume and cover letter to each job application to increase your chances of success.

NETWORK AND MAKE CONNECTIONS

Networking is key to finding a job in Australia, especially if you are a foreigner. Attend events, join professional organizations, and connect with people in your industry to build your network and learn about potential job opportunities.

Don’t be afraid to reach out to people on LinkedIn or other social media platforms, and make sure to personalise your messages and follow up with thank-you notes.

APPLY FOR JOBS ONLINE

Many jobs in Australia are advertised online, so check job search engines like Seek and company websites frequently for new opportunities. Make sure to tailor your resume and cover letter to the specific job and company. You may also use keywords that match the job description to increase your visibility. 

UTILISE RECRUITMENT AGENCIES

Recruitment agencies can be a useful resource for finding a job in Australia. They can help you find job openings, provide advice on your resume and job search, and connect you with employers.

CONSIDER TAKING ON FREELANCE OR  CONTRACT WORK

If you are having trouble finding a full-time job, consider taking on freelance or contract work to gain experience and build your network. This can also be a good way to demonstrate your skills and work ethic to potential employers.

BE PREPARED TO NEGOTIATE

 In Australia, it is common to negotiate your salary and benefits when you start a new job. Make sure to research industry standards and be prepared to negotiate your salary, paid time off, and other benefits to ensure that you are compensated fairly for your work.
