Your EmployAbility Resource Centre

A strong LinkedIn presence is a powerful tool in your job search. It’s your digital first impression and a great way to showcase your skills, experience, and interests.

To ensure you get the most out of your networking and social media opportunities follow these tips: 

• Clear and up-to-date photo
• Add a banner (background) photo  
• Open to work settings activated 
• Use an elevator pitch for the “About” section 
• Make sure your experience, education, and certifications are up-to-date 
• Add the relevant skills you used or gained for each experience. 
• Include volunteering experience 
• Start following businesses that you are interested in. 
• Build your network and start leveraging your connections. 

Our head office is in Little Bay, in Sydney NSW and we have staff in additional areas of NSW, VIC and SA.  Our Employment Program is run online and can be accessed anywhere you have an internet connection.

No, that’s the great thing about our program, you can select the modules that suit you best.

You have no legal obligation to tell your prospective employer that you have a disability.  

During the early stages of the job application process, the focus on the resume and the cover letter should be on matching your skills and experience to the job advertised. 

 
If your disability does not affect your ability to perform the core function of the role, it is not necessary at this stage to disclose it. You may still feel that it is necessary to disclose the disability if: 

• It is relevant to perform the role 
• You are likely to need workplace adjustments to perform the role 
• You think the employer is disability friendly and you feel comfortable disclosing. 

If you do feel comfortable disclosing your disability pre interview, it will provide you with an excellent opportunity to check accessibility and then have a top line discussion about reasonable adjustments that you may require to eliminate any elements of doubt or concern.
