Job seekers from a non-English speaking background
If you are a job seeker from a culturally and linguistically diverse background, Job Network can help you. Your Job Network member can help you to identify what's been stopping you from finding a job if you have been unsuccessful so far. They may be able to provide interpreter services if you need them.
What should you do?
- Register with Centrelink as 'Looking for Work'. They can assess your abilities and refer you to the type of employment service that can best help you to find a job.
- Centrelink may refer you to Job Network. You will need to find out who the Job Network members are in your area. To do this, you could:
- ask Centrelink
- call Job Network members
- look on jobsearch.gov.au
- ask family or friends who have used Job Network about their provider.
- Choose a Job Network member to help you. It's important that you choose your Job Network member carefully. In most cases once you choose your Job Network member you'll stay with them until you find work.
In some areas, there are specialist employment services for job seekers from a non-English speaking background and you may decide to choose one of these as your Job Network member. Ask Centrelink if there are any in your area.
