How to find a job in Australia with no local experienceI get a lot of emails from people are new to Australia with job search dilemmas.

I struggle to answer all these individually as I receive so many.

This is one reason I have teamed up with Naishadh Gadani who is running the free webinar for job search hacks for skilled migrants, this coming Wednesday 3/9 at 8pm.

Naishadh is the only career marketing expert in Australia who has been a skilled migrant himself. That’s why he’s been able to develop such a successful training program, which we’ll tell you about shortly.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

– find Australian jobs with “no local experience”
– set up your resume to pass the 10 seconds scan test by Australian recruiters
– build up a strong local network to help you find HIDDEN jobs that are not advertised
– market yourself  better on LinkedIn and online in social media in a powerful and genuine way to help jobs come to you

We give you practical examples you can immediately apply to your own individual situation.

koalaWe had such an unprecedented response to our free webinar on finding a job without local experience.

So I thought it was worthwhile spelling a few things out about what might be getting in the way for you if you have recently arrived here.

These are things that many employers and recruiters will not tell you. They are generally just focused on filling the job at hand.

Although some may do so to help you, their role is generally not to give career advice.

Read this and think about whether some of what I say below might also be going on here for you.

Are you looking for a job in Australia?

 

IPAD-size-imageOne of the biggest barriers people who are new to Australia face when they look for a job, is that they keep getting told they can’t get a job with “no local” experience.

We’re in a global employment market place and this line is actually a big load of old rot.

The really sad fact is that most people believe it.

They believe it because recruitment consultants feed them that line.

The truth is a whole lot different.

If you’re looking for a job in Australia, you do need to think differently than follow the existing route, which is just apply to online job boards.

So to help you find a job in Australia, I am hosting a FREE webinar next Thursday 24/7 at 8pm Eastern Standard time in Australia. Click HERE to register.

It’s part of my NEW job search hacks program where I  help people tackle the toughest issues they come up against when looking for jobs.

Don’t make this silly mistake on LinkedIn!

by K B , updated on November 1, 2020

One more thing that sets me RANTING is when I see people use third person on their LinkedIn profile.

I know a lot of career marketers talk about this, but it seems not many people are listening.

How do I know this?

In 2014 I did a deep dive into 200 profiles. I found that that 80% of people in this sample were guilty of this crime.

If you’re not sure what I mean by third person, take a read of this snippet from a summary section.

frustrationOne of the things that I find consistently annoying is how fixated people seem to be on applying for a job online.

To be honest though, I am not that surprised.

Over the last 10 years, online job boards have spent big bucks getting you to think that it’s the fastest and easiest to find work.

The truth however is really really different.

Applying for a job and relying on online boards as your main marketing channel, can be one of the loneliest and most frustrating paths to take.

So for my own grey hairs and sanity, I’d like to change the way people look for work starting with some solid facts about what’s going on behind the scenes that makes it so difficult to find a job this way.

Along the way I’ll give you some ideas about how to do things differently.
