Securing Entry Level Jobs in a Competitive Market: Success Stories and Tips

If you’ve spent weeks, months, or even years on your job search but seem to run out of luck, well then, today is your lucky day! You can get help on landing your first entry-level job from The Perfect Resume (TPR). 

My Life, My Job, My Career: How TPR Helped Me Succeed

“Finally (I) was successful... in securing a contract position as an entry-level FIFO warehouse officer.” - Sue Carroll

With great excitement, Sue, a hard-working superwoman, delivered the news on how she landed on her first Entry-Level role within the mining industry with the help of The Perfect Resume. Prior to this, she was offering her passionate service as an Education Assistant for Special Needs with about 15 years of experience. Maybe you are asking, “how on Earth would an educator end up in the mining industry?” Just like you, she was craving a brave career change, something that would fuel her soul and challenge her wit.

In 2020, on January 25 to be exact, COVID-19 made its first entry in Australia. This situation changed and is still transforming the lives of many citizens. Many businesses shut down and about 3% of the workforce lost their jobs between March until April 2020, thereby immensely affecting most, if not all, the industries including the Education Management sector. Despite the negativity of the circumstances, our superwoman courageously took this opportunity to revamp her career. As they say, “safety in numbers”, so Sue decided to seek the best people that can guarantee her success rate on her First Entry-Level Job search, since time is also a very vital factor. This is how The Perfect Resume came into the picture.  

Dilemma101: Impressing a Software

From a simple outbreak to a full-on global pandemic, the Covid-19 coronavirus is now a massive recruitment challenge that every employer is trying to overcome. Many have digitised their processes, from sourcing their candidates online until hiring by utilising an advanced Applicant Tracking System (ATS) or sophisticated recruitment software to safeguard the health of the people within the office.

Although it may sound efficient and protective, the utilisation of ATS also bears its detrimental side of the coin, especially for those who are on a job search. Your resume might have every detail that can make a recruiter say ‘YES’ but remember, the first layer of today’s recruitment process is the ATS, thereby giving you only 6 seconds to impress a system or software. Tricky right? This is one of the major problems Sue had,  how to convince both humans and machines to pick her for the job which she had zero experience of. So, she did her research and looked for the best people to give her the best results.

Overpowering the ATS Like a Pro with The Help of TPR

Offering over 40+ accumulative years of recruitment experience as a team, The Perfect Resume knows exactly what managers, including systems and software, look for in an application. Because of this consistent reputation, Sue decided to achieve her career goals with the help of TPR. With this insight, TPR’s team of professional resume writers utilised their in-depth understanding of multiple industries, thereby providing Sue with ATS friendly documents that reflected her capability to generate promising results.

The Perfect Resume can help people like Sue who is a newbie in a certain industry, or even you, craft the perfect resume that doesn't only pass through the gates of the ATS software but also a CV that can guarantee you a leg up in the marketplace. TPR’s experts created a modern and graphically designed resume that helped Sue, the superwoman, positively stand out from the crowd of job hunters.

Defence Industry related with levels of privacy and discretion. The speed and professionalism of the service they provided me was exceptional. What I loved most was that they were willing to be blunt where others were not. Identifying weaknesses in my resume that most people are blind to see for themselves.

Melissa was awesome. She engaged me in the process, gave really good insight and did a fantastic job with my resume. I had previously got someone else to redo my resume for me and they had done a really bad job. But this one is amazing and up to date and all ATS tracked and checked. I would HIGHLY recommend this company if you need help with resumes, cover letters and LinkedIn! They know what they are doing and really work with you.
