Many of her followers were interested to know how she landed her dream role, but the public service worker admitted it took a few tries.
He advised those who want to follow his path to contact the relevant agencies in the regions they want to work in and personalize their CVs.
“Be sure to say you have experience in whatever position you’re trying to apply for, so if it’s public services, say you have janitorial or janitorial experience.”
He added: “And if they don’t respond once, just keep going and going and going.”
Clio also gave tips on how to make your application stand out from the sea of applicants.
“If you come and really want to get involved, get your white card and your Australian driver’s license because they tend to look at applicants more with that,” he recommended.
“(But) I know a lot of people who are also here and they don’t have a driver’s license, they can’t drive and they also work in public services.”
A white card, also known as a general construction induction card, is a requirement for people who want to work in construction in Australia.
He advised others to get a white card and an Australian driving license if they want to stand out in the sea of applicants.
Those required to have a white card include supervisors, surveyors, workers, tradesmen and site managers.
