Session 1: How to get interviews with Australian IT recruiters
This session, presented by Director and Head Career Coach at the Australian Careers and Employment Centre for International Students (ACECIS) – Naren Chellappah will teach you how to pass the tough screening tests you’ll face when applying for job through IT recruiters.

You’ll learn more about the 10 second resume scanning process - and how to pass the initial telephone screening test.

The session also covers how you should network with recruiters and win their trust and confidence so they put you forward to meet their clients who are hiring.
