Any tips in regards too job hunting will be appreciated!
Here’s a few misconceptions I find with people who are trying to get their first job:
1. Often people tend to write too little on their soft skills. Soft skills and volunteering are things you can play up, especially when you have little to no work experience.
2. Similarly, people often put their ATAR and academic grades on every job application, regardless of relevance to the job. Generally I’d say, unless the job advertisement mentions grades, the job is related to academia e.g. tutoring, or the subject you got the grade for is specifically related to the job you’re applying for e.g. HD in Food Tech when you’re applying to be a cook, then leave grades out of the picture.
3. Some people don’t alter their job application to suit the job. They give the same generic one to every place they apply for. This is a bad idea because it doesn’t make you seem genuinely interested at all, which the employer will pick up on and thus reject your application.
