Candidate Testimonials

I began to look for jobs straight after completing my Diploma of Financial Services. I studied very hard to obtain good grades, but after my graduation, I faced a lot of difficult challenges in trying to look for and secure a job in Australia. The Australian employment market was as competitive as ever, and I wasn’t quite ready for it. GradSolutions worked hard beside me every step of the way, and in the end I finally managed to land my first full-time job as a Customer Service Officer at AMES. I’m very delighted with the quality of GradSolutions’ services, and their useful career advice has assisted me in reaching my goal and obtaining this exciting job.

I graduated from Monash University a year ago. After I completed my Master’s Degree in Multimedia Design, it was hard for me to find a related job since I did not have enough working experiences. Although I worked in a small company for a year, I decided to find another job because the work became more and more irrelevant to my interested field. That’s when I started job-hunting again. I was actually going through recruitment agencies but they were unresponsive. One day, my friend recommended me to GradSolutions. With my wife’s full support, I decided to give it a shot! I would like to thank my consultant for her patience and for always being considerate. Just after 3 weeks, I became more confident. The team then further helped me polish my resume and amazingly, I no longer get rejection letters from companies like I used to earlier, but interview calls instead! I would definitely recommend GradSolutions to you because GradSolutions is different. The consultant is really considerate and patient. You don’t need to be ashamed or worried about your English. Just be confident!

“Like most of the overseas students in Australia, my dream was to find a good job relating to what I have studied. I got my first job in Melbourne as an Electronic Engineer a few months ago. Words couldn’t express how excited I was. Here, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to GradSolutions who helped me a lot throughout the whole job hunting process. At the beginning I had lots of doubts on whether their could really help because I believed that employers value technical skills more than other aspects (such as appearances, professional skills, interview manners, etc.) in the Engineering sector. My view changed after a few talks with the Career Consultants at Gradsolutions and I realised that “selling myself” as a person is as important as all the technical skills I possess as an Engineering graduate. I would like to thank my Senior Consultant who assisted me with my job search, as she was a good mentor, and was very professional and committed to her candidates. Her encouragement and constructive feedback successfully strengthened my confidence in answering any interview questions.

Coming from China and graduated from RMIT University with a Master of Professional Accounting, I thought that finding a job with a higher qualification would be much easier. However, I graduated during the worldwide economic crisis and jobs were extremely hard to find. I was rejected time and time again and I was about ready to return to China for good because I was feeling hopeless. As I was preparing to return to China, I was introduced to GradSolutions by a friend. My resume was given a new fresh professional makeover, which generated much better response compared to my original copy. My resume was refined to suit the jobs I applied for and was specifically catered to the job market requirements. After landing interviews with my refined resume, their professional services equipped me with newfound confidence in handling interviews. Most importantly, the program also taught me to familiarise myself with the Australian culture in order to to improve my chances of getting the job I wanted. With the help of Gradsolutions’ ongoing support, I managed to secure a job at the Australian Stock Report. I am now earning more than a graduate pay with a basic pay plus uncapped commissions. Thank you Gradsolutions! I wouldn’t be where I am now without your help.

I was looking for jobs in the architecture industry with no luck for 3 months prior to joining GradSolutions. I did not know what was wrong in my resume and cover letter. I did get an interview once but was immediately turned down afterwards. I was clueless as to how to approach job interviews. It all changed when I was introduced to GradSolutions. I received calls from some prospective employers after that but my applications were yet to be successful. My Senior Consultant pointed out every single thing that I did wrong which hindered me from passing job interviews. I finally managed to secure a full-time job! As of now I am working as a Design Consultant in an architecture firm and I would like to extend my gratitude to GradSolutions for being helpful and dedicated in helping me during the entire process. All the hard work, tenacity and support from my Senior Consultant were really beneficial for me. A piece of advice for all job-seekers out there: Never give up! Keep trying even when you fail and be sure to ask GradSolutions to assist you with your concerns. You will achieve your goals and get the positions you want!

I was seeking employment for nearly 2 years but I could not even find a part-time job. I received free career support provided by my university but none of them worked for me. It started to become very stressful for me after a while, and really discouraging as well. I did not get even a single phone interview with my old resume. Believe me or not, once my resume was enhanced by Gradsolutions, I got the 1st telephone call within 2 weeks. So I knew that the service really worked. I participated in their professional programs and was learning from a very kind and experienced Senior Consultant. She taught me everything necessary to get an interview opportunity and how to pass an interview from A to Z. Her tips and advice were very helpful because I was an overseas student who didn’t have a clue about what Australians expected from candidates. I took everything seriously and did as my Senior Consultant taught me because I was really fed up of applying for hundreds of applications for 2 years. I did my part and gave it my best shot. I got two interviews in two different companies due to Gradsolutions and I was finally successful with one of the companies. The entire process took only 3 months. I am now a Network Support Engineer in an established company; something I wouldn’t have even dreamed of before I joined GradSolutions. I am very proud of my job now and I couldn’t have done it without help. I think it is very worth “investing” money to maximise you chances with Gradsolutions because their programs really work. Good luck!

I am writing this to recommend everyone to join GradSolutions. GradSolutions offers great career development services. I have developed excellent communication skills and have also improved my interview skills through their guidance and various professional programs. GradSolutions has successfully taught me how to become a professional business person, and I found their programs extremely helpful for me in refining my capabilities. I obtained not only the skills needed for interviews but also the confidence to present myself well within a business environment. I have had my fair share of difficulties during my job-seeking process, so I understand that job hunting is a torturing process for any job seekers out there. I was extremely exhausted and discouraged at first; however, the Senior Consultant who worked with me always supported me and told me to never give up. After three long and arduous months, I finally received a job offer from ANZ, and as of now I am working full-time. I would like to extend my gratitude to GradSolutions for their kind help and assistance. Thank you GradSolutions!
