Support for Migrant Professionals

Your experience matters. Make sure employers can see it.

Finding work in a new country can be challenging, even when you have strong qualifications and years of experience. Understanding the Australian job market, knowing how to present your overseas experience and working out what employers are looking for can take time.

I’ll help you understand the Australian job market, position your experience clearly and work out the best way to approach your job search.

“My husband and I both got the jobs we like thanks to Tara’s amazing work. Even last minute, you’ll feel reassured that you will get the best result from her.  She takes care of the details and makes sure everything is covered. Can’t have asked for better help with our professional careers.”

Nguyen Thu Hang, Administration in Government

Experience Supporting Migrant Professionals

I’ve worked with migrant professionals from all over the world, including New Zealand, the UK, USA, Canada, Colombia, Brazil, Russia, France, Vietnam, China, Iran, South Africa and India.

This has given me a good understanding of some of the challenges people face when looking for work in Australia, from understanding the job market and recruitment processes to knowing how to present overseas qualifications and experience to Australian employers.

I was also born overseas, so I understand that settling into a new country involves much more than simply finding a job.

Over the years, I’ve helped many migrant professionals understand the Australian job market, position their experience and work out the best way to approach their job search.

Breaking into the Australian Job Market
After migrating to Australia, I hadn't searched for a job in a very long time and quickly became frustrated by the lack of responses. Tara helped me understand the local job market, refresh my resume and gave me the confidence and tools to apply for roles more effectively. Within a short time, I secured a great role with plenty of opportunity. It was a small investment with a very big return.

ROI Way More than she charges
Tara was amazing from the first moment I met her. She is such a friendly and insightful person that truly cares about those she helps on their career journey. She listened to my ambitions, tailored my resume and LinkedIn to suit, and gave me lots of tips on job searching. I applied for a tax accountant role and was successful in obtaining that. I can certainly say her services are worth more than she charges. I highly recommend My Job Mentor!

very helpful information
Tara shared her valuable time to coach me and send all the written materials. I am very appreciative. All the information was incredibly helpful for my job interview.

I'm now being headhunted!
I've just been headhunted! Tara’s resume rewrite turned my job search into recruiters reaching out to me. They are offering jobs that I wouldn't have applied for so Tara's resume rewrite has turned from maybe getting a response, maybe not, to not actually having to even apply for jobs at all, they just come after me! It feels really good, and it looks like I'll end up just taking my best pick from quite an array of offers!
