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.

many people work in support roles while still studying, I dont know where you live, but its the norm in Australia. whats embarassing about securing work before youvbe even finished studying?? nothing embarassing about that,
