How? Generally, candidates use the Video feature their hand help device (i.e. phone, ipad, tablet etc.). If it’s saved as an mp4 file, we normally access these without issues.

If it’s saved as an mp4 file, we normally access these without issues. This is the most common way candidates submit their video.

If you have a private drop box or YouTube link, we generally have no problems accessing these also. Other times, candidates might send us a link to their google drive account- if you have an open direct google account, it will work. Otherwise, if this is private we will not have access to open the video.

We recommend downloading the video compression application on your device- this should fix your issue.

We don’t currently offer a graduate program, however we do recruit for a number of entry level roles across our business and encourage you to develop your skills and experience to progress your career.

Examples of our head office entry level positions include: Buying Assistant, Planning Assistant, VM Communications Co-ordinator, Accounts Payable Officer.

We promote succession planning within our business as part of all our team member’s development. Where possible, all of our vacancies are advertised internally first.

We often consider transfers between our stores, this is another way to develop your career within Retail Management. Transfers to head office are also a possibility, often we have our store team members coming in to assist the Head Office team when required.

Generally we’re looking to speak to a minimum of two professional referees, they do need to be people that you have recently reported into. We understand that it may not be appropriate to include your current Manager, however as long as it’s someone that you have recently reported into, that should be fine!

Is this your first job application? Well you won’t have any professional referees just yet, so you can list two personal referees. Think of people like your course co-ordinator, careers advisor, sports coach.. Or maybe you’ve completed some voluntary work and there is someone we can speak to about you in that environment.

Buying is a much sought after career in the fashion industry and at Sportsgirl.

To gain an entry level position within our Buying team, you will need to have studied a fashion related qualification and preferably have some experience within a head office Buying team (many fashion courses now offer work placements). If you don’t have a fashion related qualification, we highly recommend looking into external courses for example; RMIT and the Gordon Institute of Tafe.
