Female character (Yvette) talks to camera	At the moment, I work a lot with our drivers, our truck drivers within our transport facilities nationally - so, placing our drivers that help deliver parcels and mail on a day-to-day basis.
Female character (Mayet) talks to camera	I remember when I was looking for a job, I used to read a lot of job advertisements, prepare my resume, submit my resume, and wait for that call from a recruiter.

Female character (Amanda) talks to camera	So, my advice would be to make sure that your resume is really reflecting your skills and experience and highlighting the achievements that you've had in your career. And we get a lot of applications, so it's really important that, you know, we can see what your achievements and what you're keen to do here at Australia Post.
Female character (Yvette) talks to camera	Well, that's a bit about us. It's always nice to put a face to a name.
