Jobs in Port Macquarie 

Port Macquarie is a wonderful place,  offering a relaxed lifestyle  along with picturesque beaches and country access.  It’s approximately in the centre of the coast between Sydney and Brisbane and has a growing population.

It’s no wonder we frequently receive resumes and inquiries for jobs in Port Macquarie  especially from the many “commute weary” workers in our Metro areas.

We are often asked ” How can I find a job in Port Macquarie“.   Here are 3 useful tips to securing your next job .. here on the Mid North Coast of NSW.

1) Re-Jig your resume. No matter what your work history, you will need to tailor your resume to fit in with the local job market. Make sure you research and study the types of jobs on offer- where there are; what they are and how often that sort of role is advertised.  Make sure you go to all the job sites and scour for jobs in Port Macquarie. Does your resume still sound city-centric and role specific? Is there too much detail? Have you included an “about me” statement that gives the reader a little snap shot of what type of person/job/ career you are after?

2) Make a few calls. Don’t be afraid to contact any of the local recruitment agencies as well as the larger employers in the area to ascertain the temperature of the job market. If there are no jobs in your specialized field, perhaps you might consider other roles that will utilize your transferable skills

3) Look at further geographical areas, outside of Port Macquarie- Check out the Kempsey and Taree areas, it  may be another, further commute, however,  this widens your options and opportunities for work.

 

Finally, remain flexible and adaptable. Your new job may not look and feel like the ones in the past, however, you can bring your own experiences and knowledge, making the job even more interesting.
