Resumes and cover letters for Perth jobs
Practical resume and cover letter help for people applying for jobs in Perth and the surrounding WA region.
Hiring in Perth
Perth is shaped by resources, construction and the trades that support them, alongside health and aged care.
If you are open to FIFO, say so early along with the rosters you can work.
Wherever you apply in WA, 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 WA 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
