The Australian Community Job Fair

If you are a Member in New York and you are seeking full time employment, we may have good news!

Finding work in any job market is a challenge so The Australian Community has created an Employment Group within our private Yammer social network to assist our members find work.

Yammer works like all public social media. You can ask questions, post comments, Like, add #hashtags and there is even an instant message feature where you can connect with other members, but all member information and resources are private.

As Yammer is a private social media platform, you must receive an invitation to join. This additional layer of privacy allows our members to collaborate and communicate without content appearing in public social media.

Step 1:

Complete the form on The Australian Community website: aucommunity.org/jobs

Step 2:

Once you submit the form and your membership verified, you will be added to our Job Fair Database should an employer or recruiter contact The Australian Community seeking a particular candidate. 

Step 3:

Once you join our private Yammer Network, be sure to connect with the "Employment" group and any of the more than two dozen other groups such as US Taxes, NYC Social and NYC Networking.

Step 4:

Inside the Employment group you will find documents, a sample resume, and articles to assist you with your job search. It is highly recommended that you read this material.

Look for the following docs:

a) Community Job Fair Next Steps

b) The Perfect Resume

c) Top 10 Tips for Australian Job Seekers

d) Finding "Australian Friendly" Recruiters in NYC.

Step 5:

Yammer has a powerful search feature that can find people, articles and links. (Hint: Search for "Recruiter")

Step 6:

Share! If you find an interesting article or a new "Best Practice" for finding work, share it with others inside the Employment group!

Unlike a public Facebook or LinkedIn Groups, our network built on Yammer is completely private. It is by invitation only and is only accessible by members of The Australian Community.

Finding work ultimately depends on your experience, your resume and how quickly you build relationships with recruiters and individuals who will make introductions to employers on your behalf.

You can also listen to a series of podcasts we recorded on the unique challenges faced by Australian women in New York.

We can provide great resources and tools for our members who are looking for work, but these resources only account for a small percentage of the effort required to find employment.
