Understanding Job Advertisements
Australian job advertisements usually include:
- what the job involves, and what skills or qualifications are required
- what sort of organisation you’ll be working for
- exactly how you should apply, and by when.
When you apply for a job, you need to understand:
- the closing date for applications
- who to contact if you have questions, or want to discuss the role in more detail before you apply
- who/where to send your application (including by mail/email)
- where to find a detailed job description or position description (if one is available)
- what qualifications and/or experience are required (often called key selection criteria).
You may want to call the person responsible for the job before you put in an application, to introduce yourself, obtain a position description, and ask questions about the role.
