Explaining your contract experience to prospective employers

11 months ago By Emily Harris

​Contract and temp work are all incredibly popular employment options within the Built Environment Industry and often a great way for an employee to 'trial' or get their foot in the door of a new company. However, if you’ve built up your resume doing different short-term contracts, what’s the best way to present these experiences on your resume or in your next job interview – especially if your previous contract stints were only a few weeks to a month? A common fear for candidates when applying for new roles is that their short-term experience or ‘jumping from job to job’ won’t look enticing to prospective employers. And indeed, a key thing most hiring managers and recruiters are looking for is reliability. They want an employee who will enjoy their work and the company they’re working for and become a loyal employee and advocate. It’s presumed that a recruiter or hiring manager will prefer to see steady work experience from a candidate because hiring anyone new is essentially an employer making the following bet: will this person I’m hiring remain with my company long enough to make up the money I’m going to spend on training them? For this reason, some employers can consider too many seasonal or contract-based work experiences on your resume as a red flag. They worry that the candidate in question might be easily bored or not dedicated and thus less likely someone they would consider to take on for a longer-term project or permanent role. 


Some candidates might think it's better to leave their contract experience off their resume, but leaving contract roles off your resume – especially if they’re relevant – will leave employee gaps which could also be a cause for concern. Furthermore, the perception of contract work has changed over the last few years. Contract work has become an increasingly popular and viable mode of work not just within the Built Environment Industry but across all industries as more organisations embrace flexible working options and new business models emerge that dismiss the conventional ‘employee’. 


As at August 2021, there were 2.4 million Australians casually employed in Australia (23% of employees, 19% of all employed) [1] (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2021). Furthermore (before COVID-19) The Construction Industry had one of the highest proportion of contractors within the Built Environment Industry, while 23% of Australian employers within the Engineering space were employing temporary and contract staff regularly [2] (Embedded Expertise, 2019). And while contract work dropped in 2020 and early 2021 during the peak of the pandemic, its popularity has continued to grow - especially as each state works through the busy infrastructure pipeline set by the Australian government as part of the country's post COVID-19 'economic recovery'. 



Ultimately, considering how popular contract and non-standard forms of employment have become, the time you spend in a role is inconsequential when compared with what you have achieved during your time in that role, and if you have fulfilled what you expected to achieve when you joined. To help highlight this in both your resume and your interview; Design & Build has collated the following tips: 

Tell a story

One of the biggest things when listing or discussing your contract work experience is being able to do so in a linear narrative. Work experience over time at a single company tends to do this by default – e.g. you started a role at an organisation as a graduate and were promoted after three years. If you’re stringing together work you’ve undertaken on a variety of projects, then the job of crafting the narrative of your work experience falls on you. An easy thing to help create a ‘narrative’ is trying to group your work experience together – for example, this can be based on the role type or what type of organisation you were working for (transport infrastructure or commercial buildings). Grouping related work projects together help demonstrate your learning and the skills you’ve acquired over time. It also makes it easier for recruiters and hiring managers to scan through your resume and understand which work experiences of yours were done in which context. 

Be results-focused:

Furthermore, when explaining each project or contract you’ve done, be sure to highlight the achievements or the direct result of your actions (this is relevant for both resumes and job interviews). This will not only help showcase your skills and knowledge but also further prove you achieved the goals set out in any particular project. This can be supported by including figures to quantify your actions. For example, “On a website overhaul project I was working on, one of my key responsibilities was re-creating the brand’s guidelines. These guidelines were able to provide brand consistency across all external communication, which in turn positively contributed to our brand recognition and awareness- we saw an increase of 6.5% in direct traffic to our website in the months after finalising these brand guidelines.”

Have answers ready for any very short-term contracts or experience:

When heading into any job interview, you’ll be asked about your recent experience. So, if you think certain points of your work experience will grab the attention of recruiters or hiring managers like notable gaps or ‘job hopping’, you should stock on a few answers to use within the interview. There are many ways to present your contract or short-term experience in an interview that positively reflects on you. As we’ve previously mentioned, contract work means that yes- you’ve moved around a lot but also that you’re adaptable and can learn new processes quickly. If you’ve had a few short-term temporary roles while you’ve looked for permanent work, it shows your work ethic and dedication to remaining in your chosen industry while searching for longer-term work. Try to focus on the positives within your answers. If you’ve chosen to leave a contract early for negative reasons (perhaps you didn’t like the workplace culture or the role wasn’t what had been previously advertised) it’s also important to remain positive and not be directly negative about the company. Networks - especially within industries like Construction, Engineering, Property etc are very tightknit and criticising a fellow company doesn’t create an impression of being a ‘team player’. Alternately answers like the following (if they apply) could help: 


 “I’m looking for a position that is a better fit with my experience. The type of culture I thrive in is...”


 “I was only required in the role for a short-time, but during my time in the role, I learnt this…and this”



 “After I was made redundant last year due to a merger, I wanted to continue with some contract work to keep my skills sharp, while looking for my next permanent role”.

Prep for your interview

Like with any interview, preparation is key – especially when you think you might be faced with tricky questions on your previous experience. Once you’ve developed some hypothetical answers that explain any gaps or short-term roles, be sure to practice these beforehand. This will help your confidence going into the interview and decrease the chance of you halting or struggling to answer any particular question. 


Finally, it’s important to remember that your diverse employment history has made you who you are; the skills you’ve developed and the knowledge you’ve learnt. This is an asset for companies and more importantly, these organisations understand that the time spent in a role doesn’t necessarily reflect your skills, loyalty or commitment.

8 principles we can take from the Olympics to our workplaces

By Joao Pedro Marins • January 10, 2025
The Olympic Games have long been a symbol of excellence, determination, and unity, bringing together athletes from across the globe to achieve greatness. But the values that drive Olympians to succeed don’t just belong in the arena; they can also inspire us to strive for excellence in our professional lives. Let’s explore how these principles can be applied to build trust, foster collaboration, and achieve extraordinary outcomes in the workplace. Teamwork and Collaboration Just as Olympic teams rely on collective effort to achieve victory, success in the workplace depends on effective teamwork. When we collaborate, we combine diverse skills and perspectives to drive innovation, solve problems, and create a supportive work environment. Remember, as the saying goes, "Great things are never done by one person alone — they’re done by a team." Achievements and Goal-Setting Olympians set ambitious goals and work tirelessly to achieve them. In our careers, setting clear and attainable objectives helps us stay focused and motivated. Define your professional goals, set milestones, and celebrate each achievement along the way to maintain momentum. Diversity and Inclusion The Olympics celebrate diversity, bringing together athletes from different cultures and backgrounds. Similarly, fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace enriches creativity, innovation, and decision-making. Strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute their best. Skills and Training Olympians dedicate countless hours to training and refining their skills. In the workplace, continuous learning and professional development are equally important. Seek out opportunities to upskill, embrace challenges, and commit to growing your expertise to stay competitive and confident in your role. Performance Reviews and Feedback Athletes constantly review their performance to identify areas for improvement. Likewise, seeking regular feedback from colleagues and mentors can help you refine your skills and enhance your performance. Constructive feedback is a valuable tool for growth and development. Resilience and Preparation Olympic athletes often face setbacks but show incredible resilience by bouncing back stronger. In our professional lives, resilience is essential for overcoming challenges and turning failures into learning opportunities. Embrace adversity as a stepping stone to success and maintain a determined mindset. Inspiration and Mentorship Behind every successful Olympian is a mentor offering guidance and support. Finding mentors in your field can provide valuable insights, encouragement, and career advice. Equally, you can inspire others by sharing your knowledge and experiences, becoming a mentor for colleagues or peers. Celebrating Small Wins Every step towards an Olympic medal is a reason to celebrate. Recognising and celebrating small achievements in the workplace boosts morale, motivation, and team spirit. Acknowledge your progress and the progress of your colleagues to foster a positive and supportive culture. Striving for Gold Together By embracing the principles that drive Olympic athletes, we can elevate our professional journeys. Teamwork, goal-setting, diversity, resilience, and continuous improvement are cornerstones of success in any field. Let’s take inspiration from the Olympic spirit and strive for gold in our workplaces!

Does every job application look the same nowadays?

By Joao Pedro Marins • January 28, 2024
With the rapid technological advancement we are experiencing each year, we can notice a growth in AI and chatbot usage when discussing job applications. Many candidates rely on such tools to build resumes, cover letters, or contact hiring managers. Although the technology we possess nowadays is excellent and can help us in multiple ways, job seekers must be careful as it can also negatively impact their job applications due to a lack of authenticity and personality. Recurring Terms One common issue with AI-driven application processes is the reliance on recurring terms and keywords, making all resumes look the same. Job seekers may be tempted to rely too much on chatbots, risking a lack of authenticity and individuality. This approach can lead to applications that appear generic and fail to showcase a candidate's unique skills and experiences. The automated responses and overuse of keywords may not capture the nuances of individual personalities, leading to a missed chance to make a memorable first impression. Chatbots often repeat terms or expressions, such as “seamlessly”, “unwavering”, “showcasing”, “as a result”, or “in conclusion”, for example. They tend to follow the same pattern when structuring a copy for a cover letter, with an introduction leading to a conclusion that not always is well connected. To stand out from the crowd, applicants should strive to infuse their language with vivid examples and specific accomplishments. Instead of using generic terms, provide concrete instances where you collaborated effectively within a team, solved a particular challenge, or delivered measurable results. The more specific you can get, the better. Common Cover Letters AI may inadvertently encourage a one-size-fits-all approach to job applications. Some candidates might use generic templates for their cover letters, neglecting to tailor their applications to the specific requirements of each job. This lack of personalisation can harm a candidate's chances of standing out in a competitive job market, as Hiring Managers may overlook applications that appear to be using a generic approach. Recommendations: To have a more personalised cover letter, you can work the other way around. Instead of going to chatbots to start them, try writing them in your own words, highlighting your expertise and why you would be a great fit for the position. Then, you can recur to AI tools, pasting your initial cover letter there and asking them to make it better, whether by using a more professional vocabulary or improving the copy structure for example. Remember that you don’t have to accept all their changes or their first version. You can keep tailoring it by asking things such as “make it shorter” or “emphasise my background”, for example, to arrive at the objective you want without losing the essence of your first message. Download our Cover Letter and Resume guides Online Assessments Some companies use online assessments during the application process, and candidates utilising AI tools may find themselves adapting their responses to match expected patterns rather than providing genuine answers. This can dilute the authenticity of their responses and create an impression of insincerity. Predefined responses and suppressing your natural conversational style can result in a lack of spontaneous exchanges that would occur in an authentic interaction. Striking the Right Balance Despite these challenges, job seekers can explore AI tools with a strategic approach. This technology can be beneficial in providing templates or tips, but it is essential to tailor the message to demonstrate your essence, unique skills and aspirations. Craft resumes and cover letters that authentically reflect your talents and experiences. Use keywords naturally, focusing on relevance rather than overloading your application with them. You can customise each application to match the specific job requirements. Highlight how your achievements align with the company's needs, values and the role you are applying for. Remember that, at the end of the day, behind the AI algorithms are human recruiters. Incorporate a personal touch in your application to connect with the human aspect of the hiring process and how you'd represent the company values. Conclusion As AI and chatbots become more used each day, job seekers must adapt and utilise them as a supportive tool instead of the main creative process in their applications. While these technologies offer efficiency, a well-balanced approach prioritising authenticity, personalisation, and staying informed will enable candidates to stand out in a competitive job market. Keep yourself updated with industry trends and AI advancements to adapt your job-seeking strategies accordingly. Understanding how AI is used in recruitment can help refine your approach and improve your chances of securing your desired job.

10 Tips to start the year with a Career Strategy

By Joao Pedro Marins • December 18, 2023
Are you feeling that you need a change for your career this year? Do you want to explore new opportunities? If so, you're not alone. Many people look to make a career transition when entering a new year. The concept of a career move has become more diverse than ever. Beyond the traditional notions of climbing the corporate ladder, professionals now consider various possibilities – from seeking promotions to changing industries or transitioning to new companies. It requires a flexible mindset and a strategic approach tailored to your unique aspirations. But where do you start? In this article, we'll provide you with 10 tips that can help you make a successful career move in 2024. From identifying your reasons for a career change to staying positive and motivated throughout the process, we've got you covered. Let's dive in! 1 - Defining Your Career Objectives Start by defining what a career move means to you. Are you seeking a promotion within your current company, aiming to switch industries, or exploring opportunities in different organisations? Clearly understanding your objectives will guide your strategy and help you make informed decisions. Before diving into the job market, take the time for introspection. Evaluate your skills, values, and interests. Set clear, realistic goals for your career change within the public sector to align your aspirations with potential opportunities. 2 - Ask Internally If you already enjoy working with your current company, consider exploring internal opportunities first. Moving within the same organisation offers advantages such as familiarity with the company culture, established trust, and a quicker onboarding process. Whether you are considering climbing up the ladder with a promotion, or a side step to a different sector, it’s always best to assess your internal opportunities first before looking elsewhere. 3 - The Promotion Pathway Climbing the corporate ladder requires a strategic approach. Identify the skills and competencies necessary for the desired role and proactively work on developing them. Seek mentorship within your organisation, express your career goals to your superiors, and actively contribute to projects that showcase your leadership potential.

Welcome Tim Natusch, our new Queensland State Manager

Welcome Tim natusch, our new queensland state manager

February 1, 2023
Late last year, we welcomed our new Queensland State Manager, Tim Natusch! Tim is a fantastic addition to our team and is responsible for growing our brand and relations with both clients & candidates across #QLD. To learn more about him and the expectations for our Queensland #team for 2023, check out his answers below! Welcome, Tim! What was it that attracted you to join Design & Build? Within the market, Design and Build have a quality brand and reputation. Personally, I also resonate with two of the sayings within the company; building trust and doing the right thing. As simple as they may seem, they conjure up old-school values for me. The way I conduct business is to deliver on all my promises. Can you tell us a little bit more about your new role as Queensland State Manager? I guess, in a nutshell, my job as QLD State Manager is to strengthen the D&B brand within the QLD market. This consists of learning about already established relationships and forging new relations. In doing so, we must ensure we are doing the right thing by our clients, candidates, colleagues and community. Further to this, a huge and immediate goal is to grow the internal headcount of the Qld D&B team. This is a necessity to stay ahead of the needs of our clients, candidates, and community, plus the huge levels of investment within Qld across multiple industries. We are currently working within a candidate-driven job market. From a manager's perspective, what opportunities and challenges does this present to recruitment companies moving forward? This is a challenge but also a blessing, and it brings us back to old-school, relationship-driven and trust-building recruitment. Our teams need to network within their specific industries and really build strong relationships with their candidates. We must avoid treating candidates like numbers. They are humans with goals and aspirations outside of work, families or loved ones to think of. As recruiters, we must think of all of these things and aim to find our candidates' roles that can effectively change a candidate's life. From my first week within the D&B business, I truly feel that this is something the entire business does exceptionally well. What does building trust mean to you? For me, the concept of building trust is simple – you do what you say you are going to do. If this is not possible, you let the person that you are dealing with that we have to think about other options. How do you think a recruitment organisation can effectively demonstrate trust – especially with their clients, candidates, colleagues, and community? Treat others how you would like to be treated. In an extremely volatile and dynamic market, our clients, candidates, colleagues, and community will remember this. If we stick to the basic D&B principles of doing the right thing, I don't think we can go wrong. Do you have any key goals for the D&B Queensland team over this year? Internally, building the team of consultants Clients; meeting every one of our valued clients Growth; begin working with several new clients and exploring future growth markets What's one food item you can't live without? I should be able to live without it. However, it is my guilty pleasure; Chocolate. When you're not at work, where can we expect to find you? At a sporting event (beer in hand), fishing, or for a coffee and park with my three beautiful girls and wife.  You can contact Tim at: Email – tnatusch@designandbuild.com.au Mobile number – 0424 150 235

Melbourne to be australia's largest city by 2030

By Default Author • December 22, 2022
​2022 has been a year of significant investments for Australia, which is no different for Victoria. In addition, the incentives to people migration and welcoming skilled workers from overseas have been creating a population growth that implies a lot of opportunities becoming available. In this article, we will talk about the growth experienced in Victoria over the last few months and what the expectations are for the following years. Commercial Construction Did you know that Victoria's construction industry employs almost 240,000 people and contributes $21.6 billion to the Victorian Economy ? These three key areas are transforming the construction sector scenario in the state at the moment: Off-site construction technologies Digital technologies used in construction processes New construction materials and products The industry is booming right now within the state, led by build-to-rent (BTR), data centres, Infrastructure development (Melbourne metro) & new commercial office space, which in turn drives large-scale, high-value refurbishment of premium CBD assets. Our suburbs are also seeing a high level of retail refurbishment, in line with the higher volume of weekday foot traffic driven by working from home. Shared workspace in the suburbs is also on the rise and utilised by those who work from near their home as opposed to travelling into the city. Suburbs within proximity to new and redeveloped stations are also under construction. An example of this would be St Kilda Road, which for several years had been on the decline, is once again in demand due to the new Shrine station. Refurbishment, apartments, and retail are all benefactors of this revitalisation. To search for jobs within the Commercial Construction industry, click here . Residential Construction Major infrastructure projects are driving new pockets of residential growth, opening many opportunities for professionals within the field and architects as well. High-end residential is also booming. The majority of these projects take shape in areas such as Kew, Camberwell, Hawthorn, Toorak, Armadale, Malvern & the Mornington Peninsula. If you are looking for Residential Construction opportunities, click here . For Architecture & Interiors, go here . Engineering The Victorian Government projects Melbourne to be Australia's largest city by 2030 , which will demand significant infrastructure investments. These projects – for residential, non-residential, and engineering construction – include urban renewal and large investments across health services. Civil contracting is, of course, driven by all that growth plan, with massive shortages across site engineering and supervision, primarily due to three mega projects: Level Crossing Removal Project North East Link Program Suburban Rail Loop Aiport rail  To see engineering jobs available right now, click here . Rail To complement that growth by 2030, Victoria's Government needs a complete public transport network to meet the needs for years to come, creating long-term opportunities for workers, businesses and investors. The Victorian Government has also committed to several major rail projects, including a new, nine-kilometre, underground, high-capacity rail tunnel servicing Melbourne's south. Rail Project Victoria (RPV), a project group of the Major Transport Infrastructure Authority, is delivering more than $30 billion invested in metropolitan and regional rail projects . To see jobs available within the rail industry, check here . Manufacturing and Pharmaceutical Victoria concentrates on one of the largest Manufacturing and Pharmaceutical markets across Australia, and the industries are only expected to grow over the following years. Manufacturing's desk is currently growing with needs for materials for construction as the pharmaceuticals are basing off new facilities for vaccine production and further development.
