overcoming setbacks in your job search: Make your resume work hard for you
Applying for any job today means you will be up against hundreds of similarly qualified people, so you need to make your Resume or CV stand out from the crowd. Do not get upset by a rejection letter or call, use it as motivation to do better next time.
A rejection letter is just a chance to make your Resume or CV and job application better for next time
Don't take rejection letters personally, there are a lot of reasons - and most of them are not personal. You're selling yourself and like all salespeople, you need to be resilient.
Resumes & Career Progression: stepping stones to better things
There’s no way around it, the road to finding a job is tough, especially at the moment in Perth. For every available job there are dozens of people applying for it. Make sure your Perth Resume or CV is the best it can possibly be. Your next job may not be perfect, but it can set you on the path to your dream job.
It’s easy to start looking for a new job in Perth, all you need to do is dust off your Resume or CV, throw a few lines together on a cover letter and away you go. However, as you experience knockbacks or attend interview after interview, momentum can quickly give way to exhaustion. This makes it all too easy to get discouraged and settle for a less than ideal role, or even grit your teeth and stick it out at your current job.
Setbacks are just a good way to determine your next approach - especially with your Resume or CV and cover letter
Don't assume that because you fit the selection criteria, you will breeze into the next job. It doesn't work like that anymore.
Before you send in another application, especially for academic or government jobs here in Western Australia, telephone and ask if there is a person acting in the role, if there is - you are wasting your time and you will always get a no thanks.
Dumb check your Resume or CV and cover letter, it may be that you simply didn't follow the instructions. You won't get anywhere unless you do.
Make sure your referees are the right ones for you. Not everyone makes a good referee so choose wisely.
Remember that applying for any job role here in Perth at the moment is a numbers game. There are a lot of similarly qualified people looking for work, so you need to make sure your Perth Resume or CV, cover letter and every other piece of documentation you send meets the job selection criteria - every time.
