Guest Priscilla101 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Hi guys can anyone help? im applying for nurse positions for Melbourne and I keep getting rejected. I'm obviously doing something wrong but I have no clue I'm a specialist nurse, qualified 6 years. Jane AHPRA registration in principle and a 189 visa. I'm moving in September and need a job to go to. Would anyone be willing to let me look at their application or help me with one??? I'm getting desperate. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hi When you apply for a job there will specific selection criteria, you need to address each one and outline how you meet the criteria, you need to give examples from practice include a few examples for each crteria, employers are not interested in hearing you can do something they want examples. Its a lot harder to get nursing jobs at the moment and there is usually quite a bit of competition, are you applying for specialist roles, ? they usually have the most competition as fewer of them, the other problem is when there are no huge shortages its harder to secure a job from overseas, as there tend to be enough local candidates available. Have you tried nursing agencies? not ideal but at least you could get some work when you arrive, get known in hospitals and stand a better chance of getting permanent position Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Priscilla101 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Hi I'm applying for anything and everything. They seem to have generic job descriptions with little specific criteria - AHPRA registered and rights to work. It's very hard to put examples when you only have 1 page for a cover letter. Would it be worth putting a local address? (Have family who I may NE5 4AN staying with when I arrive so it's not a total lie) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louloubelle Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I'm currently applying for nursing posts in Perth and finding exactly the same. I either don't here at all or just get apply closer to you moving (October). I've tried a number of agencies so hoping I can at least get some casual work on arriving.
