Resumes for jobs in Mandurah, WA
Mandurah has the widest mix of work in the Peel region and the most competition for it. Applications here are often read quickly by a store manager or a small business owner between shifts, so clarity beats polish.
What work looks like here
Retail, cafés, pubs and tourism lift over summer and school holidays and quieten afterwards. Applying before the season, not during it, puts you ahead.
Care work — aged care, disability support, home care — is steady year round and is judged heavily on clearances, availability and reliability.
Residential construction and the trades that follow it employ across the suburbs, mostly through small businesses and subcontractors.
The rail line makes a Perth commute realistic for office and hospital work. Say so plainly if you are prepared to make it.
Roles people commonly apply for
- Retail assistants, supervisors and store management
- Baristas, cooks, kitchen hands, bar and wait staff
- Aged care and disability support workers
- Carpenters, electricians, plumbers and their apprentices
- Receptionists, administration and accounts support
- Cleaners, grounds and maintenance staff
What to put in your resume
- Lead with availability. "Available weekends, evenings and school holidays" is worth more than a paragraph of adjectives to a venue manager.
- For care roles, put clearances and certificates in their own block with expiry dates — but only the ones you actually hold.
- Name the venues and stores you have worked at. Local employers often know them, and it makes your experience concrete.
- One page is usually enough for hospitality and retail. Two is fine for trades and care where tickets need listing.
Confirm these for yourself
We never add a ticket, clearance or qualification to your resume unless you have entered it yourself. These are the ones worth checking before you apply.
- Whether you hold a current national police clearance
- Whether you have an NDIS worker screening check or need one
- Whether your responsible service of alcohol or food handling certificate is current
- Whether your first aid and CPR are within date
Skills that carry across
- Serving customers through a busy rush
- Handling complaints calmly
- Opening and closing procedures
- Rostering and handovers
- Stock counts and ordering
