As a Job Application Specialist you would sit alongside someone and talk about their work history, skills, education, etc. and use that to craft them a professional looking CV. You will also help them navigate sites such as Seek or TradeMe Jobs to help them find and apply for jobs.

  • Proficient in both verbal and written communication

  • Familiar with Microsoft Word
