Prepare your documents for job hunting
The presentation of your CV and cover letter are going to be the most important tool in your application process. Putting time to this will pay dividends when presenting your CV to employers.

Formatting your CV into our generic style will ensure that your CV is vetted quickly and efficiently by companies used to this layout and style. It also makes it easy for them to view your skills, qualifications, and experience at a glance.

To get started, please download and complete our CV template in full. Don't miss out sections and ensure you add as much information as possible relevant to the jobs you are applying for.

IMPORTANT - Your Work History
Employers want to see more detailed information on the time you have spent with each employer, with your most recent employment listed first.

This is the information they are looking for:

  • Job Title:                
  • Period Employed: 
  • Company Name:
  • Company Location: 
  • About this company: 
  • Your Tasks:

Immigration & Visa Support
Migrant Job Search Ltd is not licensed to offer immigration advise and support for visa applications. In most cases our employment partners have their own inhouse immigration departments and will be on hand to offer visa and immigration support if your application is successful.

If you are emigrating and are serious about finding a job abroad, please ensure that you are document ready. This will minimise the delay in starting your new job.

What Does Document Ready Mean?
You will have done extensive research into emigrating to the country of your choice. You must have all your paperwork ready to support your visa application, including legal documents, police clearances, medicals, birth and marriage certificates.

This process should take between 2 weeks and 2 months depending upon how focused you are. Once these documents are in place, you can then apply for jobs, knowing that if you are offered a position, you can apply immediately for your work visa.

Covid 19 Restrictions
Entry to some countries remains strictly controlled to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

  • Negative COVID-19 test results are required for most travellers
  • Managed Isolation Allocation system vouchers confirming a place in a managed isolation facility are required before boarding a flight.
  • Border rules can change quickly. Travellers must prepare for disruption to their plans.
