What you need to know

1. Make sure you’re eligible first – Before you do anything else, make sure you have what it takes to even be considered for a Woolworths job. Think about your skills and experience; does it match with what they’re looking for? If not, don’t give up hope just yet – there are plenty of other jobs out there that might be right up your alley. 2. Complete your application – You can print off and complete an application form (PDF) or fill in an online application. Most stores also offer information on how to complete an application, should you go into one in person. 3. Submit your documents – No matter how you submit your documents, always make sure they are signed and dated by you, not someone else!


Downloading the right application form

The easiest way to apply for a position at Woolworths is by downloading and completing their PDF application form. You can find it on their careers website, but you’ll have to scroll down and search for it, as it’s not easily visible in your initial search. It doesn’t take long to complete, but make sure you read every section so that your experience fits what they’re looking for in an employee. If there are any specific instructions related to how you should submit your documents or where you should send them, be sure to adhere closely (or call their HR department if something isn't clear).


Preparing your resume

Your resume is your key to securing that interview. The first step in writing a resume is deciding which type of resume will be most effective for you. This largely depends on your experience and goals, but here are three main kinds of resumes: Chronological (or traditional): In chronological resumes, jobs are listed by employer, starting with your most recent position and working backward. If you've stayed in one place for several years (such as while raising children), then including all those years under one heading or detailing them in an attached experience/volunteer section might be more appropriate. Reverse-chronological resumes are also popular these days—the same idea as chronological, but with each year being worked backward from now until graduation or entry into full-time work.


The importance of cover letters

The cover letter is your opportunity to sell yourself and your skills to an employer. However, you only have one page so make sure it’s concise, relevant and tailored specifically to that particular position. For example, if there is a specific skill listed in the job description or something they are looking for then allude to it in your cover letter—include statistics or examples of how you demonstrated that skill. If not, then explain why you feel as though you would be suitable for other reasons (i.e., previous experience working with similar products).


Job Interview Tips

The interview process can be intense, but it’s important to remember that interviews are two-way streets. You have as much right as an employer to find out what you’re getting into and that means asking questions. It also means preparing yourself with examples of how you demonstrated your best qualities in past positions. If there isn’t an opportunity during your meeting, take some time ahead of time to write down some questions and keep them on hand just in case. And if you don’t get offered a position? Thank them for their time and ask if there will be any opportunities next year or down the road where they might need your skill set again. They may not be able to say yes, but in most cases they will appreciate your interest and effort.


What happens next?

After completing your Woolworths job application, you’ll need to turn it into one of their stores. The easiest way is by dropping it off in person during business hours; most stores will have an employment center that handles things like on-boarding and payroll administration. If there’s no office near you, ask a friend or family member in another city to drop off your documents or use any of these free services instead: Australia Post Drop Boxes & Personal Pickup Locations; ASB Bank ATMs & branches; Aussie Post Letterboxes & Courier Service; Lucky 7 CCR Branch Recycling Programmes.
