FAQ

If you've been applying without results, your application might not be speaking the right language yet.

  • How an Australian CV differs from what I already have?

    Australian CVs have specific conventions that differ from many other countries. Photos, date of birth, marital status, and nationality are typically left out. Layout, length, and how you describe your clinical experience all matter. Australian recruiters also have limited time per application, so your CV needs to communicate your value quickly and clearly. This course shows you exactly how to format and write a CV that works for the Australian market.

  • Do I need to write a cover letter for every job?

    Yes! And this course makes it faster and easier than you think. You will learn how to build a strong base cover letter and then customise it efficiently for each application. We cover what Australian employers actually read in a cover letter, what to lead with, and how to connect your overseas experience to local context without underselling yourself.

  • What are selection criteria and do all jobs have them?

    Selection criteria are specific written requirements that some employers — particularly public health, government, and aged care organisations — ask you to address as part of your application. They are scored separately from your CV. Not every job has them, but when they do, failing to address them properly is one of the most common reasons IQNMs are screened out early. This course walks you through how to identify, structure, and write strong responses.

  • Who is this course designed for?

    This course is built specifically for nurses and midwives who are navigating the Australian job application process. Whether you are newly registered or have been in Australia for a while but are struggling to get interviews, this course will help you understand exactly what Australian recruiters and hiring managers are looking for.
