Australian recruiters are not dismissing your overseas work. They just cannot picture it yet. Your job is to make it easy for them.
Stop listing responsibilities. Start showing outcomes. "Managed a team" tells them nothing. "Led a three-person team that shipped a payment integration two weeks early" tells them everything.
Remove company names that need context. If an Australian employer has never heard of your previous company, they will not pause to look it up. Use the industry or sector instead. "At a major Indian fintech" lands better than a name nobody recognises.
Add scale. Numbers travel across borders. "Supported 200 concurrent users" works in any country.
Three changes. Measurable difference.
