frustrated mother

I think this plays a keyrole as well as I have met a few who have got very good job in Australia butdoes not speak very good English as per a native speaker. After getting soclosed to the final round and not getting the job has affected me a lot and Ithink that negativity and the fear kills me every time when I go for aninterview now.

Yep I finally got a professional writer to help me with my resume. It costs money but felt it was a good idea rather than getting rejected like this.

Thanks for your comment. I have already looked into these areas and have stared to volunteering in one of the largest not for profit organisations and hoefully this will lead me somewhere.

Thanks Rupert and I know all what you tried to do is help. My spoken English is way better than written and some of Australians whom I meet in the train etc thinks I speak very good English and I do not have an accent. This is the biggest worry I have, as everywhere I go, (even the Job Agencies) they comment about how positive, cheerful and a calm personality that I have and I will be ideal for the job etc, and the moment I go for the interview with the employer I get rejected and someone else get the job. This is where I wonder where I am going wrong.

thanks for your prompt reply. Since my native language is not English I believe it is not upto the standard of a native speaker. However, I think my spoken English is better than written and I do not have a strong accent. I know some who do Business Development Managers role in Australia etc who has very poor written English. Anyway I am not trying to justify this, but I also personally do not thinking that is the case. I really hope that something will work out and I will be out of this misery soon.

Hi, I am not from the UK so you guys are correct. Do you think that my english is not upto the standard? Your honest answer will be higly appreciated. Its just I know many who came from my country who has poor written english than me but doing very good jobs so I am just wondering what I do wrong to make it so difficult. To answer some of questions here, I always ask for feedback and most of the time what I get is ' i am over qualified for the job and there was someone who had more specific expereince etc' so what am i to do

I am on PR visa. I know this is not anything to do with bad mouthing about australia and I still think it is a great country. Its just not having a job can make you very frustrated and I feel hopeless and empty without having a proper income.

I have got my skills assessed for HR Advisor. However, I apply for even jobs such as HR Assistant etc... Just the entry level roles... at the same time I do apply for HR Advisor roles as well. What I feel is since I do not have many australian work experience the best thing to do is to apply for entry level jobs first.

Hi All, I am just writing this out of utter frustration. I am sitting at home and did not have any luck with a job for last 6 months. It makes me very frustrated and every single interview that I went, didnt work out and I have come into a point where I just feel like giving up my dream and leaving the country. Since I am a single mother it makes thing even harder as I need to work to support my sons needs. I recently got a temp job and initially they said it was for a period of a month but today I was told that the company no longer requires my work. i just cannot stop crying and I am thinking is it me or its just the way how things are in Aussie. I was on student visa about 10 years a go and during the period that I did my studies I managed to find temp jobs and was never faced issues like these. Can someone help me to figure out what is going wrong here? I am totally at a lost and I cannot think straight. I am into HR Field and is there anything that I can do differently in order to secure a job. Please help and any advice would be highly appreciated.
