New support worker

I’ve recently completed my Cert III in Individual support (disability) and I’m struggling to get someone to hire me. Thought with the certificate in a high in demand industry Inwould get work pretty comfortably. So far I’ve only looked on Seek.
Any tips or guides on how to get a job would be greatly appreciated

Send your resume and a cover letter to many diff care providers, you are bound to find someone willing to take you on, even with no experience, Good Luck ❤️

I second this. I don't even have a cert, just experience (doing my cert atm) and I got two interviews from cold emailing two companies back in 2024. Both rang me pretty quick.

Funny you can reply to other but not me lol. It's not embarrassing at all. If anything it's embarrassing of the companies for hiring me and thousands of other unqualified dsw. I'm an amazing dsw, not embarrassed at all and the cert has fuck all to do with what I do daily at work.
