ShareFind Your Place in the Australian Workforce
The Australian job market operates differently from almost every other country. Our expert volunteer mentors bridge the gap through dedicated support.
Why Getting a Job Here is Different
Securing employment in Australia is often an immigrant's highest priority and most significant challenge. The Australian job market has its own unwritten rules: the importance of informal referrals, the specific format employers expect on resumes, the cultural expectations in interviews, and the legal requirements around working rights.
Without a local guide, even highly qualified professionals can struggle for months. Our volunteer mentors—many of whom are hiring managers or recruiters in Sydney—work with you one-on-one to translate your overseas experience into a language Australian employers understand.
"I had a Master's degree and 5 years of experience, but I couldn't even get a call back for entry-level roles. Share Happiness redesigned my resume to highlight my achievements the 'Aussie way' and connected me with someone in my industry. Two weeks later, I was hired."— Elena K., IT Professional

No. Share Happiness is volunteer-run. Our coaches are professionals who donate their time because they want to help newcomers succeed.
Do you help people on Student visas?
Yes. We help immigrants on all valid visas, including Student, Partner, Skilled, and Working Holiday. We'll make sure your resume highlights your legal working hours effectively.
