Sites of the government

The Australian Government has its own job-search website. Employers may advertise job openings on Job Search for free. The website has a major emphasis on in-demand sectors as well as firms that want workers as quickly as feasible. Many employment are mentioned here, especially in sectors that were heavily damaged by border restrictions during COVID-19, such as agriculture.

You may also utilize the employment hubs site provided by the government. This provides access to additional job-search tools as well as a variety of data on employment trends in your region.

Seek

Seek is most likely one of the first job search websites you visit when you begin your job search. That's because there are over 18,000 posted jobs online at any one moment! Seek makes job seeking easier by allowing you to save several resumes and cover letters. Applying for employment is very straightforward; after your profile is set up, it just requires one click of a button.

Employers must pay to advertise positions on Seek. Be careful that some smaller local firms may not post job openings. Furthermore, owing to its popularity in Australia, businesses are swamped with applications, which means that unless your CV truly jumps out, it may get overlooked. If you need assistance, read our post on how to make your CV stand out.

INDEED

Indeed is another job-searching website you could look at. They are the most popular job board in the world, with over 200 million monthly job searchers from more than 60 countries. Why restrict yourself to Australia when today's linked globe allows you to apply your abilities globally?

Indeed does not charge companies to submit job advertisements, allowing smaller and more local or regional enterprises to promote their openings as well. Prepare to spend more time combing through advertisements. Because of its vastness and the large number of jobs available, it may take longer to locate the positions you want.

The Internet of Things

When looking for a job, you don't have to depend just on job search websites; you can also use your social media to locate them! With over 90% of HR professionals regularly utilizing LinkedIn to discover new workers, it has become one of the most significant tools in a recruiter's arsenal.

LinkedIn has traditionally concentrated on professional, white-collar jobs. However, due to its recent expansion, there are currently positions available in every field imaginable. Trying to get job on a social networking site like LinkedIn takes a bit more effort to build up your profile; we've included some tips on how to correctly create a Linkedin profile. But after you've done it, employment offers start pouring in!

Facebook may also be used to locate jobs that aren't posted on job search platforms. With over 15 million Australian users on Facebook, you never know when one of your friends could know someone who is looking for work! When there are chances, local companies will also reach out to their followers. Facebook also began allowing individuals to post jobs directly on the site in 2020, so you may already be receiving ideas for local openings.

It's worth emphasizing that if you're looking for work on social media, you should make sure your profile reflects your greatest qualities. Keeping everything private is usually a smart idea, but when you reach out via your network, it may be more difficult to conceal your personal life.

Sites that specialize on job searches

There are also a number of specialized job search websites that cater to certain employment markets. While it's always a good idea to keep your choices open, if you have a great interest in the non-profit sector, you may want to look into Ethical employment. Maybe you're preparing to graduate from college and seeking for graduate opportunities. A job search website such as Grad Connection might be ideal.

There are several additional websites that specialize in certain sectors. Because of their smaller size, you may have a higher chance of having your CV seen and landing that dream job.

The gig economy

We are all aware that the economy is changing. Casual employment is becoming increasingly widespread. These types of possibilities abound on websites such as Gumtree, Fiverr, and Airtasker. While many jobs are one-time opportunities, don't dismiss the possibility of finding regular employment via the relationships you build. If you obtain enough employment in your sector, you may become the next small company success story!
