Getting started with the job search

The path from education to employment can feel unclear. Here are a few ways to get started.

Know what employers want

Employers look for reliable, communicative people who can work in a team and solve problems. You don’t need to have done the job before — you need to show you have the behaviours and attitudes that matter.

Build evidence

Start collecting examples of times you’ve:

• Taken responsibility
• Worked with others
• Solved a problem or improved something
• Communicated clearly (in any context)

These become the stories you’ll use in applications and interviews.

Get certified

A recognised certificate and LinkedIn badge show you’ve invested in your employability. They give recruiters a quick, credible signal that you’re serious about being work-ready.
