Hi everyone, I’m currently looking for my first job in Australia(Melbourne), mainly in civil/structural engineering roles. I’ve applied to many positions but haven’t received any positive responses or interview calls. I’ve also updated my resume with ATS-friendly keywords and tailored it to job descriptions. I’d really appreciate any honest advice on what I might be missing and how I can improve my chances of securing my first job. Thank you.

I would do this give 3/4 months to look for a job. If landing thats great. Else Id look elsewhere. A month spent out of the field is a month out of goals to continue in Australia.
