Today, new migrants and students often find it difficult to understand the job search and application process in the Australian market.
According to Naishadh Gadani this is because “only 17.2% jobs are advertised in Australia and the remaining 83% jobs are un-advertised or hidden.”
There are different ways of recruiting new talent for an organization – via recruiters, direct advertisement, referencing, networking (offline or online), and just plain old cold calling.
Most companies or employers have an online e-Recruitment system that makes it look easy to search and apply for a job but Naishadh says that most hidden jobs are found through networking or references.
Before randomly submitting the application, a candidate must read the position description for the job he or she is interested in and also make a cold call to the HR department to show your interest.
Amit Sarwal talks to Naishadh Gadani, a career coach based in Melbourne, on how to submit your resume and application the right way in the Australian job market.
