6. sign up for regular job alerts.

The best way to stay "in the know" for new job opportunities is to search for jobs in Australia online and then save these searches so that you are notified by email when new opportunities become available.

7. practice your interview skills.

Before your interview, take some time to review the job description and how the responsibilities of the role reflect your past experience. Being prepared will help you remain confident and secure your dream job.

8. polish your shoes/get that haircut.

First impressions matter! Regardless of your profession, make sure that when you turn up for your all-important first interview you have a tidy and organised appearance. Not only will this impress your interviewer, but it will also give you an extra confidence boost.

9. network.

Use professional networking sites like LinkedIn to connect with like-minded individuals in your industry. Take time to attend industry events and get your name out there.

10. research companies you would like to work for.

Often businesses like to advertise roles on their own websites before resorting to job boards like SEEK. Be the first to know about new opportunities by following these companies online, and signing up for their newsletters and job alerts. Keeping abreast of their company news will also help you impress in interviews.
