Practical resume and cover letter help for people applying for jobs in Melbourne and the surrounding VIC region.
Hiring in Melbourne
Melbourne employers hire heavily in health and community services, education, construction, hospitality and professional services.
Many Melbourne roles are advertised with hybrid arrangements, so say what you can do in person and how often.
Wherever you apply in VIC, 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 VIC 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
