Remember, this is your opportunity to make a positive first impression, along with your resume.

Your resume is a critical tool to showcase your qualifications and experience. Here are some key tips to help you application stand out:

• Keep it clear and concise - Aim for a professional layout with clear headings and bullet points. Aim for 2-3 pages, focusing on the most relevant information.

• Tailor your resume - ensure your resume is tailored to the position you are applying for by highlighting experiences, skills and accomplishments that align with the role and St Patrick’s College values.

• Professional summary - Start with a brief summary that highlights your professional background, key strengths, and what you bring to the role.

Where possible, explain any gaps in time in your resume and make sure your contact details are accurate and up to date, especially for referees if you have listed them. If you are listing referees, ideally we are seeking two professional referees as a direct supervisor/manager/owner.

Your interview at St. Patrick's College is an opportunity to showcase your skills, experience, and alignment with our values.

Be ready to discuss your experience, how you contribute to a positive and collaborative educational environment, and your commitment to student growth and wellbeing. During the interview, we value authenticity, thoughtful responses, and examples of your contributions in past roles. Don’t hesitate to ask questions that reflect your interest in the position and how you can contribute to the College community.

Our general recruitment process may cover all or some of the below steps:

• Review application submitted and supporting documents

• Phone screening with shortlisted applicants

• Individual Interview

• Follow up interview (if required)

• Testing/Online Assessments (if required)

• Pre-employment checks

Your interview is also your opportunity to create a positive first impression. Consider how you present yourself, including your attire and body language. Just as our students are required to follow the uniform policy, we expect staff to dress professionally and model appropriate behaviours. Dressing in a manner that reflects the College's standards not only demonstrates respect for the role but also showcases your readiness to be a positive role model for students. Confident body language and a polished appearance can reinforce the qualities we value in our staff—professionalism, leadership, and a commitment to upholding the College’s values.

During your interview, you can expect to discuss your qualifications, experience, and how they align with the role and the College’s values.

You will also have the opportunity to ask questions about the role and the College’s community. Maintain a professional demeanor and be ready to demonstrate your enthusiasm and fit for the position. The interview will likely focus on both your technical abilities and your alignment with the College's mission and educational approach.
