The 2025 job market is expected to be just as competitive as 2024. To stand out, you need a sharp strategy and attention to detail. Here’s how to increase your chances of landing interviews and getting hired:


  • Be Strategic: Avoid "rage applying" to every job you see. It’s not about quantity but quality. Read job ads carefully and apply only if you meet at least 75-80% of the requirements.

  • Use a Clean Resume Format: Stick to an ATS-friendly Word document with no colours or fancy designs. A simple, professional format works best in most industries.

  • Tailor Your Cover Letter or Pitch: If a job application asks for one, customise it. Many applications are rejected because of generic or incorrectly addressed cover letters.

  • Check Your Spelling and Language: Ensure your application is error-free and written in Australian English.

  • Follow Up: After submitting your application, follow up. A phone call is ideal, but if only an email address is provided, send a polite and professional email.

  • Stay Available: Keep your phone close and be ready to answer calls. Often, the first person to pick up has an edge.

  • Optimise LinkedIn and SEEK Profiles: Make sure these profiles are public, up-to-date, and consistent with the information on your resume.


Job searching can feel discouraging, but persistence and a solid plan make all the difference.


Stay focused, keep moving, and don’t lose confidence.


Good luck!
