Build Your Personal Portfolio
We’ll Help You Make an Impact:
Did you know that recruiters spend an average of just 7 seconds scanning a resume? Yep, first impressions make a difference. So, let’s make every word count!
The Resume: Your resume serves as an introduction to potential employers, it encompasses who you are and demonstrates what you can do, which is why it’s essential that you craft your resume with care.
To create a ‘stand out’ resume, you should make sure the content aligns with the organisation and job you are applying for. Keep it regularly updated with fresh and relevant information, prioritising crucial details like work experience and training.
Identify your strengths with specific examples, by highlighting your results and contributions rather than just your responsibilities.
The operations team at Staff Australia is committed to supporting you every step of the way, and this includes optimising your resume with a focus on your own goals and aspirations.
The References: Building a strong network and having genuine referees on your CV can make all the difference.
Those references who are prepared to advocate for you can be a game-changer in your personal and professional life.
Knowing that you have someone in your corner who believes in you and is willing to vouch for you can boost your confidence and motivation. Whether it’s former supervisors, colleagues, or mentors, having credible endorsements adds immense value to your qualifications and experience.
So, before you add that person to your reference list, ask yourself the important question: Will this person advocate for me?
The Interview: Are you gearing up for an upcoming interview and feeling a little unprepared? Take a deep breath because we have your back.
We understand that the pressure to nail any interview can be overwhelming and stressful, which is why we provide interview tips and tricks on our website. We aren’t looking for perfection, we are looking for passion and authenticity.

Australians are known to be hard workers, with 70% of professionals working beyond their scheduled hours, many of us often put work before anything else in our lives. It isn’t surprising that this negatively impacts both our physical and mental health.
According to Health Direct, more than 13% of Australians work over 50 hours every week. This ultimately leads to a diminished work-life balance and higher levels of stress.
