Interviews can be intimidating, especially if you haven’t had formal work experience. But experience isn’t only about jobs on paper—it’s about your life, values, and contributions.
Tips for telling your story powerfully:
- Talk About Community Involvement
Volunteering at local events, caring for family, supporting Elders, or organising community gatherings all show leadership and teamwork. - Share How You Learn
Whether you’ve learned on Country, from family, or through training courses, highlight your adaptability and willingness to grow. - Use the STAR Method
Structure answers with:
- Situation: Set the scene.
- Task: Explain what needed doing.
- Action: Describe what you did.
- Result: Share the outcome.
- Situation: Set the scene.
This keeps your responses clear and focused.
- Bring Cultural Strength
Your connection to culture shows commitment, responsibility, and respect. These are qualities any employer values. - Practice with a Yarn
Role‑play common questions with a friend or mentor. The more you talk it out, the more natural you’ll feel.
Speak with confidence and pride in who you are—your life story is your strongest credential.
