ALIA Sydney Presents: 10 tips for getting that job - The do’s and don’ts when applying for a new position

Getting a new job can be a time consuming process that requires skill, strategy and preparation. It means painstakingly putting together an application and jumping through all sorts of hoops to be selected as the number one candidate in the recruitment process.

Come and hear recruitment professionals that have been actively involved in this process share their top 10 tips of what you should and shouldn’t do to make you stand out from the crowd in the Library and Information profession. These will be based on resume writing, addressing the selection criteria and the interview.

You will also be given the opportunity to have specific questions addressed and to share experiences through group discussion.

Speakers will be from the sectors of:
·         Tertiary: Adrianne Harris, UNSW
