Location guide
Resumes for jobs in the Peel region, WA
The Peel region covers Mandurah, Murray, Serpentine-Jarrahdale, Waroona and Boddington. Job seekers here usually weigh up three options at once: work close to home, a commute north towards Perth and Kwinana, or rosters away. A resume that makes your availability and travel willingness obvious saves an employer guessing.
What work looks like here
Employers in the region range from single-van trades businesses to large industrial sites, so the same resume may be read by an owner-operator one day and a recruitment team the next. Keep it plain enough for both.
Many local roles are casual, seasonal or shift-based. Saying clearly which shifts and days you can work is often what separates two similar applicants.
A good number of residents travel for work. If you are willing to drive north, say how far and how often rather than leaving it unsaid.
Rosters away from home are common. Applications for that work are judged on tickets, medicals and whether you have done camp or shift life before.
Roles people commonly apply for
- Labouring, trades assistance and apprenticeships
- Plant and machine operation
- Aged care, disability support and home care
- Hospitality, cafés, pubs and tourism over summer
- Retail and customer service
- Warehousing, transport and delivery
- Administration, reception and accounts support
What to put in your resume
- Put your suburb and your travel radius in the header, for example "Mandurah — available across Peel and south Perth". It answers the first question an employer has.
- List your licence class and any tickets near the top. If they expire, include the expiry so nobody has to ask.
- Group short casual placements under the labour-hire agency that placed you, then name the sites. Gaps invite doubt; a one-line explanation removes it.
- If you are applying for both local and away work, keep two versions. Emphasis changes; the facts never do.
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 your White Card, high-risk work licences and first aid are current
- Whether a role needs a police clearance or a working with children check
- Whether you meet a site's medical or drug and alcohol screening requirements
- Which driver licence class a role actually requires
Skills that carry across
- Shift reliability and early starts
- Customer-facing work under pressure
- Cash handling, stock and rostering
- Safety awareness and reporting
- Working unsupervised in small teams
