Agriculture is an important industry in Australia, with a rich history dating back centuries. According to the National Farmers’ Federation (NFF), the sector contributes approximately 3 per cent of the country’s gross domestic product each year.
There are plenty of exciting opportunities if you are looking for work in the hospitality sector, especially if you can find a position that suits your personal needs and offers long-term career prospects. Becoming a chef is just one of these options, and it can provide you with the skills and experience you need to forge your own path in this sector.
There is no doubt that the Australian construction and engineering sectors are enjoying stronger growth periods. However, to maintain this positive sentiment, it is important that these industries have the skilled professionals to drive home these economic advantages.
Those considering a career in the electrical sector have many options open to them. Undertaking an apprenticeship in this area isn’t just about getting a new job, it’s about setting yourself up for a lifetime of work within this sector.
Technology advances have a huge impact on businesses and consumers across the world, enabling them to work faster, with more accuracy and from remote locations.
A job interview is a two-way street. As well as an employer testing the responses of an applicant, and subsequently gauging their fit into the existing team in terms of skill, ambition and personality, jobseekers often come with questions of their own.
An apprentice or trainee may take several years to earn their qualification, but it’s crucial for businesses to remember that employees’ skills development shouldn’t end there.
One of the first hurdles when applying for a new apprenticeship or traineeship is creating a convincing resume. This will be the first – and perhaps only – chance you get to impress a prospective employer of your abilities.
Finding a company that’s the right fit for you can have a massive impact on your apprenticeship or traineeship. If there are opportunities available after you’ve earned your qualification, you may even decide to stay on with your current employer if the placement went particularly well.
Embarking on a career change is a huge decision, so you’ll want to make sure it’s the right move for you before taking the plunge. If you feel starting over again is the only choice, there are plenty of tools and resources available to help you make the switch.
