Is something holding you back in job search?

Careervitality08 Mar, 2022Other

This week one of my clients in job search mentioned some advice she?d received ? ?The people who get the jobs are the ones who don?t give up trying?.

When you find something great do you want to shout it from the rooftops? That was exactly how I felt about goal setting after learning about it from TV personality, Julia Baker, and seeing it work in my own life. A group of our friends actually asked me to run a goal setting session on Fraser Island on the eve of 2017 and, although it was surprising, how could I say no?

There are quite a few ways to protect yourself against unemployment but one of the most effective by far is creating and maintaining a large network. If you?ve worked with me in the role of career coach before, it might seem like I rabbit on about this a lot but believe me it?s for good reason.

If you find that your dislike column is much longer than your like column, it may be time to contact a career counsellor!

Most of us have been led to believe the path we must take involves going to school to learn knowledge and skills then starting work for someone else. Whether it?s a large company or a small one, typically we are plan to become an employee. What if there is another path we could be considering?

Careervitality04 Oct, 2021Other

A few days ago I heard something so exciting for our economy that I?ve felt compelled to write about it since.
