Many of you might be first timers in applying online for Australian jobs or some of you have been doing so for several months now. But, how many of you really understand what happens once your finger swiftly hits that submit button? If you are really heart bent in applying abroad for coveted trade jobs or accounting jobs in Australia, give these tips a go:
The Online Resume
Internet Recruitment has to do with transferring the recruitment process onto the Internet. Job Seekers create their resume/CV on the recruitment web site, Employers advertise their jobs on the site, Job Seekers see a job that they want to apply for and they send their application through the Internet to the Employer.
Into The Employer’s Account
Your resume is then sent out to the Employer and it makes a beeline straight for the Employer’s resume database, like having your mail sent to a designated PO Box address. Each job has its own resume database according to a unique account ID. After the deadline expires, the employers will check in on their database and start revving their “screening” engines.
The Screening Process
With the speed and range of the Internet, Employers can now reach further to a wider pool of job applicants surfing the Web. So, your resume is now competing with hundreds of other hopeful candidates looking for that one job. The joy of Internet recruitment to the employer is that they are now able use computer software programs to screen your applications faster with a click of a button.
For example, if they want to see only resumes of applicants with 2 years’ marketing experience with a Bachelors Degree and HTML skills, they just click the criteria boxes. They now have 20 names suitably shortlisted out of the 240 applicants who applied.
Focus Your Applications
Always focus your applications carefully towards the requirements of the job. If you do not even have the minimum requirements, do not waste the employer’s time by sending out a “blind” resume even for part time jobs.
The process of job hunting can sometimes feel like you are fighting without winning any battles. But, by understanding how Internet Recruitment works, you can make your own online efforts pack enough punches to get the results you want.
