The job market is ever changing and applying for jobs is a very competitive process. Many candidates will want to apply for the same jobs you are interested in. You need to demonstrate to an employer that you have the right skills, attitude, teamwork approach and initiative to do an outstanding job, and are better than other candidates competing for the same role.
What is the best way to do this? When I worked in the NSW public sector as a learning and development consultant, I wrote a workbook that would assist employees with the job application and interview stage. That’s your opportunity to make a great first impression to a potential employer. You can download the workbook for free, and it is filled with useful tips and exercises to help you:
1) identify what you want to do in your career
2) write an excellent resume and job application and
3) win that job….
Note: although the manual was specially written for NSW Public Sector employees, many of the tips and exercises will apply to a broad range of job seekers.
Good luck!
