⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Failing to demonstrate specific, hands-on experience with labour relations (e.g., only mentioning HR generalist duties without disciplinary or grievance examples).
  • Ignoring the remote/contract nature of the role—don't apply if you're not comfortable with independent work and flexible hours.
  • Submitting a generic cover letter that doesn't connect your experience to construction or multi-site environments.
