Job-Hunting Help
Help with: Job Applications, Resumes, Selection Criterias,
Job Interviews etc
If you are looking for advice on 'Job Applications' you might want to look up the following information:
The 'Edge'
The Careers Service produces a yearly booklet called the
'The Edge', which deals with writing
of job applications, job interviews and Resumes
in regard to current career related information and opportunities.
Available from the Careers Service office
or on-line.
Resume Checking Service
You can have your resume checked online by our experienced
staff. Email your resume as a MS Word Document
to careers@uow.edu.au
and it will be available after 48 hours (2 working
days) for you to pick up in hard copy from the
Careers Service office. Any corrections
to your resume will be noted on the hard copy and you will
need to make these changes on the Word Document yourself.
To be eligible to access this service you need to tell us your UOW student number and must
have attended the Resume
Workshop offered by the Careers Service.
Check the timetable and register
on-line from here.
Covering Letter and Selection Criteria
Both of these topics are covered in the workshop
series. There is additional material regarding letters
and selection criteria in our resource 'The
Edge'. Check the workshop timetable and register
on-line from here.
Notice Boards
Check the 'Notice Boards' outside the Careers Service office for information on current job vacancies, up-coming workshops, information sessions, further study, and a variety of overseas opportunities.
