THE AUSSIE RESUME : 3 THINGS YOU MUST CHANGE TO GET HIRED

Your European or American resume won't work here. Australian employers have a very specific way of looking at CVs. If you don't adapt, you won't get called.



How to fix it :
  1. Remove the Photo & Personal Details : In Australia, we don't put photos, age, or marital status on a resume to avoid discrimination. Keep it professional.

  2. Add your Certifications at the TOP : If you have an RSA, a White Card, or a Manual Driver’s license, put them in bold right under your name. This is what gets you the job.

  3. Local Phone Number : Never put your international number. No boss will call a French or German number. Get your Aussie SIM first!



Pro Tip : "When applying for hospitality or construction, don't just email. Print 20 copies and walk into the shop. In Australia, the 'Face-to-Face' still works 100 times better than an email.
