The speakers offer practical advice to empower job seekers in their application processTop Takeaways:Job Interviews Are a Two-Way Street: Candidates should ask insightful questions, such as how salary ranges are determined and what differentiates top earners from lower earners.It's important for job seekers to showcase their skills and experience even if the interviewer doesn't directly ask about them.Thinking Beyond Standard Questions: Candidates should anticipate questions beyond their resumes and prepare to discuss communication tools, remote work habits, and problem-solving approaches.Tailor Your Resume to the Job You're Applying For: It's important to customize your resume for each job application. Highlight relevant skills, experiences, and achievements that directly relate to the position.

A supporting statement is one of the most important parts of the nursing job application process. This is the evidence employers will use to shortlist you, and, as it is likely to be the first impression they will have of you, it is important to get it right.In the latest episode of the Nursing Standard podcast, Charlotte Collings, recruitment and retention lead at the Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust in Harlow, Essex, explains how you can put together a strong supporting statement to make sure you stand out from the crowd and secure that all-important job interview.She tells RCNi careers development editor and podcast host Clare Lomas what employers are looking for in a good supporting statement and how it should be structured.This is your opportunity to show a potential employer that you have the right knowledge, skills and experience for the role you are applying for, says Ms Collings, so do not be afraid to showcase your achievements and have confidence in your abilities.Above all, she adds, always do your homework: ‘I can see from a mile away a rushed application compared with someone who has really put the effort into it. ‘It's the ones who have done their homework and their research that get the interviews.'For further support with your career development, the RCN's careers resources provide advice and information, including sample supporting statements that are free to access for RCN members.For more episodes of the Nursing Standard podcast, visit rcni.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.

Creating a job application that stands out can be a game-changer in today's competitive job market. Here are some key steps to craft a compelling application that captures the attention of employers. 1. Understand the Job DescriptionBefore you start writing your application, thoroughly read the job description. Identify the key skills, qualifications, and experiences the employer is looking for. Highlighting these in your application will demonstrate that you are a suitable candidate.2. Customize Your ResumeTailor your resume for each job application:Highlight Relevant Experience: Focus on experiences and achievements that relate directly to the job.Use Keywords: Incorporate keywords from the job description to pass through Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).Keep It Concise: Limit your resume to one or two pages, depending on your experience level.3. Write a Compelling Cover LetterA cover letter is your chance to make a personal connection:Address the Hiring Manager: If possible, find the name of the hiring manager and address your letter to them.Show Enthusiasm: Express genuine interest in the role and the company.Tell Your Story: Share a brief narrative that highlights your achievements and how they relate to the position.4. Showcase Your AccomplishmentsUse quantifiable achievements to demonstrate your impact in previous roles. For example, "Increased sales by 20% in six months" is more compelling than a generic statement like "Improved sales."5. Proofread and EditErrors can undermine your credibility:Check for Typos: Carefully proofread your application for spelling and grammatical errors.Ensure Clarity: Make sure your writing is clear and concise.Seek Feedback: Ask a trusted friend or mentor to review your application and provide feedback.6. Follow the Application InstructionsEach job application may have specific instructions. Ensure you follow them precisely to show attention to detail and respect for the employer's process.7. Prepare for the Next StepsAfter submitting your application, be ready for potential interviews:Research the Company: Understand the company's mission, values, and culture.Practice Common Interview Questions: Prepare answers that highlight your strengths and how they relate to the job.By following these steps, you can create a job application that effectively communicates your qualifications and enthusiasm for the role.

Job applications remain at historic highs, far outweighing the number of jobs being advertised. SEEK's revealed job ads dropped 2% in December and are down 22% on 2023. While the number of applications per ad also dropped 2%, they remain 32% higher than in 2023. Country Manager Rob Clark told Ryan Bridge that since June they've seen job ads decline by just 1%, but certainly at the start of 2024 they saw a pretty significant decline. He says the feeling is that we've hit the bottom and are bouncing along it, but they're not seeing a ton of green shoots at the moment.

Stephanie's Career Journey Early Interests and Education: Stephanie Manka, originally known as Stephanie Shuttler, began her academic journey with a major in biology, initially considering a career in medicine as a backup to her interest in acting. She discovered her passion for wildlife biology during a study abroad program in Africa, which opened her eyes to the possibility of a career in wildlife conservation. Academic Path: Stephanie pursued her PhD focusing on forest elephants and animal behavior, utilizing non-invasive genetics for her research. After completing her PhD, she undertook two postdoctoral positions, one of which lasted five years in Raleigh, North Carolina, within the research triangle. Transition to Science Communication: While working at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, Stephanie developed a love for science communication, blogging about her experiences and the challenges of the job market in wildlife biology. She realized that her research, while valuable, often went unnoticed in academic journals and sought to make a more direct impact through communication and mentoring. Establishing Her Business: In April 2020, Stephanie launched her own business, focusing on career mentoring and science communication. She began offering group programs and writing a book, leveraging her experiences to help others navigate the competitive job market in wildlife conservation. Current Focus: Stephanie now combines science communication with career mentoring, helping aspiring wildlife professionals improve their job applications and gain clarity on their career paths. She emphasizes the importance of networking, gaining relevant experience, and crafting strong job applications tailored to specific roles. Advice from Stephanie Clarity and Strategy: Identify what you truly want to do in your career. Having a clear goal helps in targeting the right opportunities and experiences. Build Experience: Gain a variety of experiences, especially those that align closely with your career goals. This may involve taking on multiple jobs or internships. Networking: Build and maintain a professional network. Connections can lead to job opportunities and valuable insights into the field. Strong Job Applications: Focus on writing compelling job applications. Many candidates struggle with this, often writing generic applications that do not highlight their unique experiences and skills. Invest in Yourself: Consider investing in career coaching or mentoring programs. This investment can lead to greater accountability and motivation, ultimately enhancing your chances of success. Resilience and Dedication: Persistence is key. The job market can be competitive, but with dedication and the right strategy, success is achievable.

This criminal justice initiative calls for removing questions about criminal history from job applications and delaying background checks. Those against "the box" argue former offenders shouldn't continue to be punished and it prevents societal reintegration. Those in favor of early screening argue employers have a responsibility to ensure their business's safety and make informed hiring decisions.
