Have you been to the SSA Career Centre lately?  Since its implementation in 2014 it has grown steadily, year by year. The Career Centre currently features 168 registered employers and 423 registered job seekers. 106 resumes have been uploaded and can be viewed by potential employers. There are currently 1009 live job ads.*

Our Career Centre has many helpful features, such as tips on how to prepare a resume, what NOT to include in your resume, how to ace the interview, how to advance your career and how to manage in a digital world (http://careers.statsoc.org.au/jobseeker/resources/). Job Seekers can create job alerts so that they get notified when a new ad is listed.

Employers can view the uploaded anonymous resumes for free. If they see one that they find interesting, they can contact the Career Centre managers to let them know that they would like to contact the person who posted the resume. The managers will then get in touch with that person and if he or she would like to follow it up, they will connect employer and potential employee for a fee of $35.00, payable by the potential employer.

From the (passive) job seekers’ view they have nothing to lose. Their resume just sits there waiting for the right employer to see it.

We are lucky to have this great tool on our website,  providing an extra service for our members.
