Homey, we're talking about one of australia's strongest students today。
There is no local experience, no local experience。
It's a dead cycle。
I've seen so many kids, my resumes are so beautiful, my home-grown internships, the president of student unions, the gpa, and i've dropped hundreds of resumes in australia, not even an interview。
Why? The other side blocked you from the door without local experience。
What should we do? We can only go home
Take it easy to say today that there are three fucked-up methods that can be operated without intermediaries, without spending money。
First move: do an information interview, don't come up and work。
A lot of people look for internships in the form of resumes, answers, rejections. Three-part cycle。
Change your mind。
You're interested in something, aren't you? "hello, i'm studying xx, and i'm particularly interested in your field. Can i take you 15 minutes to talk to you about your day of work?"
It's called an information interview, not a job search。
There's no sense of oppression, and they're willing to talk. And after that? You know the real world of the industry, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you, you know, you know, you know, you, you know。
A hundred times more efficient than the cv。
Second move: start with small volunteer projects。
A lot of students don't like volunteers, they don't have money, they don't have dignity。
The reality, however, is that australia has a large number of institutions that are permanently short of volunteers — community centres, non-profit organizations and even small event sponsors。
There's no money, but you can get two things: real local work experience, a local recommendation letter。
These two things work better than the three major factories in your country. The first line of the résumé, "austral experience", is the way to go。
Third move: active knock on the door of a start-up company。
Big company internships, but where's the start-up company
They are often short-staffed and have no budget to advertise。
What do we do? Send out the mail。
"i'm interested in what your company is doing, and i'm willing to help you with some data analysis, market research, or basic paperwork."
Don't feel priced. It's a strategy。
A lot of start-ups see this mail and probably give you a small project. The project is complete, and you have another line of local project experience in your resume。
From nothing to nothing, that's how it goes。
In the end, the first step in breaking the cycle of death is not to wait for an opportunity to knock, but to knock on its own。
Sitting and waiting for it to never work。
