Resumes and cover letters for Adelaide jobs

Practical resume and cover letter help for people applying for jobs in Adelaide and the surrounding SA region.

Hiring in Adelaide

Adelaide hiring is strong in health and aged care, defence and manufacturing, agriculture support and hospitality.

Defence-adjacent work often asks about citizenship and clearance eligibility, so address it plainly if it applies.

Wherever you apply in SA, the same rules hold: list only the tickets and checks you actually hold, use Australian spelling, and keep your suburb and work rights near the top so a recruiter can place you immediately.

Local details worth getting right

  • Write your suburb and SA rather than just the city name
  • State your work rights plainly — citizen, permanent resident or visa type
  • List state-issued tickets with the state they were issued in
  • Say how far you are willing to travel, and whether you drive
  • Give real availability, including shift and weekend work
