Is your resume letting you down?
A really good resume is VITAL to your job search! The importance of making a good first impression with your resume cannot be overstated. A good resume increases your chances of getting to the next stage of the selection process - the interview. On the other hand, a poor resume almost guarantees your application will fail.
A "good resume" is in the eye of the beholder, which means it's the person who receives your resume whom you have to impress, so it can be worth getting some professional help.
If you're prepared to invest in some professional assistance, we recommend the Red Star Resume service. Use this link and enter code JOBMEDIA at the checkout for a discount!
Migrating to Australia
There is a healthy job market for occupational health and safety professionals in Australia and a recent survey (2011) found that a significant percentage of safety professionals were very happy in their jobs and had no intention of changing jobs. Needless to say, properly qualified and experienced safety professionals with fluency in English should have no difficulty finding safety jobs in Australia, providing you have visa which allows you to reside and work in Australia.
OH&S Advisor is on the Australia State and Territory SOL (Skilled Occupation List)1, which qualifies OH&S Advisors for a State sponsored visa. This means you can apply for a Skilled – Independent (Migrant) Visa (Subclass 175)
