Bosch recruiter, Chintan Tanna, shared tips with students in search of job opportunities. Read on for the inside scoop.

Chintan's tips

One: Establish your skill set and add it to your resume

Identify skills you have acquired throughout your course and any experience you have gained along the way.
Once your skill set is up to date, ensure it is clearly set out on your resume.
Compare and align your skill set with the job descriptions of graduate roles you wish to apply for.
Bonus tip: you can up your skillset by completing linkedin learning short courses.

Two: Keep your resume short and sweet

Resumes are the best way to catch a recruiter's attention.
Use free templates online (such as Canva) to create a neat resume.
Summarise the experience you have and align it with your skillset and the job description.
- E.g., "during my internship I completed .... task and as such, I have become skilled at ..."

Three: Utilising LinkedIn for networking and job opportunities.

When searching for a company you aspire to work for, you can use the ‘people’ tab to connect with alumni from RMIT or people that have studied a similar degree to you.
Many recruiters provide their email address on their profile, you can email them your resume directly and let them know your skills and why you are interested in the job.
Bonus tip: A premium LinkedIn account gives you the ability to directly message people rather than waiting for your request to be approved.

Four: Get experience

Look for internship opportunities while you are studying.
Internships give you experience to add to your resume and confidence in applying for future roles.
Some internships even lead to being kept on as a casual or part-time employee.
