Focus is a superpower every recruiter needs, especially in a harsh market with tough competition. How do you keep yourself organized and focused despite multiple expectations that you have to deliver to your clients, candidates, and if you are a business owner, to your team?Jenny shares the Jenny Diaz Day Plan and how it helps her stay organized and focused every day. She also shares how basic daily tasks help her business navigate this tough market while navigating growth and expansion.Jenny Diaz entered recruiting in 2015. In late 2021, she, Ryan, and another former colleague, James, founded Apex Recruitment Group, a firm that specializes in construction management recruitment throughout DC, Virginia, and the Carolinas. While Jenny has worked in various industries, she has focused on construction management for the last several years. Through her recruitment career, Jenny has had the opportunity to participate in relevant non-profits that make the tough days in recruitment easier. She is currently the Vice President of one such organization, Career Confidence.Episode Outline and Highlights[03:31] How Jenny got into recruiting from studying Hebrew, traveling, car washing, and working on a dude ranch.[12:29] Discussion on “Jenny Diaz Day Plan.”[17:25] Launching Apex Recruitment Group and overcoming initial hurdles.[23:19] The added value of meeting people in person.[27:39] What is it like being married to your business partner?[30:09] Keys to getting her first million.[33:10] Going through challenges and things they would have done differently.[43:34] Jenny shares their growth plans.[48:03] Zooming in on Apex's business culture.[54:37] Business development and client acquisition in a tough market.Jenny's Day Planning ProcessFocus is the super power that recruiters need for sure. Successful business owners and recruiters have a daily hack on how to organize their to do's and make the most of their days. Jenny is no different, and she gladly shared the “Jenny Diaz Day Plan.” “So I have this Microsoft Word doc… I print it out, I take a pencil because the day will change, and I write down whatever's on my Microsoft calendar. I have a list of follow-ups that I'm people I'm going to follow up with. That's usually like five to 30 people depending. I have my three main goals, I have my two jobs. I'm going to work that day if I get it. I have things I'm grateful for, that I've learned.”To summarize her methodology, here are the takeaways:Jenny meticulously plans each day using a printed Microsoft Word document with hourly blocksShe writes her plan in pencil to allow for adjustments throughout the dayHer day plan includes follow-ups, main goals, jobs to work, things she's grateful for, and long-term goalsWriting plans physically rather than digitally creates a stronger commitmentThe planning process helps combat distractions and provides focusJenny maintains this day-planning routine for approximately 90% of her workdaysDo you have a similar approach to being focused and organized?Going Through Setbacks and Valuable Lessons LearnedLike all business owners, Jenny and his team have had a few setbacks that can be considered teachable moments. 2023 was a challenging year for them as they expanded too quickly into new geographies while the market was getting softer. They also hired four additional people, which created financial pressure and eventually forced them to scale back after the overexpansion.Jenny shared critical learnings and adjustments they had to take to avoid reoccurrence. They learned the importance of tracking KPIs over different time periods (weekly, monthly, quarterly).“So one thing I have done this year, just with the team member I'm working with, and he probably hates it, but I'm telling him, listen, every week you're going to fill out this form and you know it's more than just KPIs.”They also used color-coding systems to track performance patterns.“This is what we're doing. Are they green, yellow, or red? I actually have them. I have them, Mark, green, yellow, or red? And you know, if last week was all red, but you're trailing six months are green. Like, let's get back at it if it's all red for six months. Well, this is a story, right?”Lastly, Jenny appreciates how partnership was crucial during tough times as partners talked each other ‘off the ledge'.“But I think the partnership was really helpful in that because we could look around and say, no, get back. Like, come back. Like, we've all been there. You're gonna get over it. You're gonna have a great month soon. I don't know when it is, but like just get back at it.”Business Development and Client Acquisition Tactics in a Tough MarketI also enjoyed the part of our interview where Jenny emphasized the importance of getting back to the basics on business development in a tough market.“But it's, it's the basics. I think we are still big on cold calls. We do business development calls that are cold. We try to do a little bit. I try to do a little bit on LinkedIn or a lot, as much as I can.”Their business development tactics include:Cold calls - the team targets 50 meaningful connections per week.LinkedIn EngagementDatabase management.Jenny Diaz Bio and Contact InfoJenny has partnered with firms of all sizes to successfully recruit entry-level professionals to C-level executives. Since 2017, she has focused on engaging construction management talent in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. She stumbled into recruitment through seemingly unrelated experiences that began with working and studying in Russia and Israel and then ended on a dude ranch outside of Yellowstone. She has learned that the people you meet along the way are anything but chance encounters.Jenny on LinkedInApex Recruitment Group website linkPeople and Resources MentionedGuerrilla Marketing for Job Hunters 3.0 by David PerryConnect with Mark WhitbyGet your FREE 30-minute strategy callMark on LinkedIn, Mark on Twitter: @MarkWhitbyMark on FacebookMark on Instagram: @RecruitmentCoachSubscribe to The Resilient RecruiterIf you've been enjoying the podcast, please take two minutes to leave a review.

Send us a textIf you're over 50 and pounding the pavement for a job these days, you can face certain challenges. On average, it takes someone aged 55 or older three months longer to find a job than a younger person.Your struggle to find employment results in disappointment at a gut level. Others are furious, discouraged, and dumbfounded by their inability to land a job that suits their experience and desired salary. They pick up part-time consulting jobs to keep afloat, zap resumes into the black hole of online resume bins, wait for a response, and pull their hair out. They have graduate degrees and once held executive and management positions.If you're 50+ and looking for a job, feeling inferior isn't so unusual. You feel like a castoff in today's job market.What are you up against? Some employers figure your salary demands are out of their ballpark and that if they hire you for less, you'll resent it and probably jump ship if you get a better offer. They often perceive, true or not, that you're set in your ways or lack the cutting-edge skills or even the energy to do the job. Then, some hiring managers might surmise that you have age-related health problems or are likely to, and that will be a problem if you take too much time off for periodic sick leave.In this episode, you'll discover:how to prepare both professionally and financially to start out on a new adventurewhere the best opportunities for new employment liehow to find profitable and rewarding jobs to save for retirementhow to cast a wide net to find an opportunity that fits different workers who want different things from their jobsincredible insights into working after 50About Kerry Hannon:Kerry Hannon is a workplace futurist and a leading strategist on career management, entrepreneurship, personal finance, and retirement.

This podcast episode addresses the issue of loneliness during the job search journey and provides valuable insights and strategies for overcoming it. It acknowledges that job hunting can often feel isolating, especially when one feels disconnected from the working world or lacks support from friends and family who may not understand the challenges of the process.I describe various aspects of loneliness, including its prevalence across different demographics, its impact on mental and physical health, and its correlation with unemployment. I highlight research findings that emphasize the need for comprehensive strategies to support individuals during their job search, addressing both practical aspects and emotional well-being.Many professionals experience unemployment but feel hesitant to discuss it openly. Thus, the loneliness of being between jobs is exacerbated. In this article, I summarize the episode, shedding light on the challenges of job search loneliness and offering insights, research findings, and practical strategies for overcoming them.Read the full Blog on the WebsiteJoin 5,000+ Readers of The Job Hunting Newsletter: Subscribe NowLear More About Renata's career coaching and courses Timestamps to guide your listening:01:15 Diving Deep into Loneliness and Job Hunting 04:22 Understanding Loneliness: Data and Insights 14:26 The Impact of Unemployment on Mental Health 25:42 Strategies to Combat Loneliness in Job Hunting 32:30 Conclusion: Navigating Through Loneliness Links mentioned in this episode:Job-Hunting Made Simple WaitlistFree Resource: Optimized Job Search ScheduleSubscribe to my newsletterEpisode 208 - How to Network with CEOs: A Guide for Corporate ProfessionalsEpisode 178 - Seven Reasons Why You Should Keep in Contact With Your Former ColleaguesEpisode 193 - Nurturing networks and owning your career: A conversation with Janine GarnerEpisode 194 - How to change sectors and start a side hustle: A conversation with wellness advocate Mandy HooperEpisode 233 - Dealing with the Job Search Blues: Strategies to Uplift Your MoodEpisode 74 - The OG of Career Change: From Accountant to Mindfulness Consultant, Plus a 10-Minute Meditation for Job-Hunters - with Ilana Kosakiewicz
A job website survey uncovered what workers find attractive when they're job hunting. Seek has revealed work-life balance is a top priority, followed by fair compensation with 60% saying salary review periods are a must. Country Manager Rob Clark told Mike Hosking that employees are also considering other factors. He says they've seen that a workplace's culture, such as work environment, management, and career development, is growing in importance. Figures also show applications per job are up by 5% in March, but national job ads have dropped by 4% from March to April. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
I have just launched a new series for the new year, “Job Hunters”, walking through live job listings in Science and Tech (as well as the strategy to apply for them). The contrast between entry-level versus senior roles often comes down to soft transferable skills not immediately obvious on paper.In this week's LabBytes episode, I revisit the most important Soft Skill in Science, and debate why soft skills in general are underrated/undervalued in scientific work places.

Of course, the question we all want answered, if Carson doesn't use job boards, how does he find so many great candidates?
Many of us are already used to working from home, and working in a different location wouldn't be much different. I recently traveled overseas and realized that working while traveling allows you to learn more about yourself, your lifestyle, and the people around you. It also improves your communication and organizational skills. It can be uncomfortable to work outside your home or work office. There can be many unexpected and stressful things that might happen, but it can also be one of the best things you can do in life! So, here are some of my tips if you're planning to travel soon while working or job hunting. Podcast Episode Timestamps: 2:42 - Define what you want to get out of your travels. 4:00 - Create a structure that supports the lifestyle you want. 5:24 - Overcommunicate with your manager and colleagues. 10:06 - Hold yourself accountable for meeting expectations. 18:47 - Travel with people who understand remote working.

In this episode, I discuss why it's essential to find your niche and the common misconceptions about niching down that we need to debunk so you can get your next job faster. If you believe you are a generalist without a specific niche, unique industry expertise, sector expertise, or deep knowledge of a particular area, you're not alone. Many executives believe they are generalists, and they may even announce that on their LinkedIn profiles and resumes, which is a big mistake! Every recruiter who has been a guest on this podcast de-bunks this myth that it's better to be a generalist than an expert. Every single one of them has encouraged you, listeners, to find your expertise and flaunt it.

Sometimes when we believe in something that's seems impossible or too good to be true it blows up in our face. Well, if you're a job seeker, here's something that seems too good to be true: The Hidden Job Market. Over the last several years, news outlets as reputable as Forbes and CNN have reported as many as 70% of available jobs are not even posted. But, is that really true? On this episode of the Career PROgressions Podcast, David Perry (International speaker and author of the #1 best selling job search book of all time, Guerilla Marketing for Job Hunters) joins me for a conversation about this mysterious world of potential opportunity. He's also going to share his proven strategy for engaging these hidden jobs and make you a true believer!

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a lovely festive season. As this episode goes out into the world, Xmas 2021 is behind us and The New Year is a few days ahead of us. There are so many dreams and hopes we have postponed for the past 2 years, I am sure many of you will agree that the End of 2021 and the beginning of a fresh brand new year, is a very exciting and hopeful prospect. I wish all of you all the very best in 2022 and hope that you make your dreams come true, live your life purposefully, and enjoy the journey as well as the destination. It's summer in Australia and I am taking a break from weekly podcasting to spend time on the beach and relaxing with my family and friends. So today we are rebroadcasting a special episode that I think is a good one for this time of the year. If you don't have a job, it will help you set your expectation and make powerful and achievable goals for the year ahead. If you have a job and you're considering moving on from it, this episode will help you set your goals as well. It's a win-win for all listeners. This episode and the comprehensive blog post that is a companion to it are an extract from one of the lessons from my online course and group coaching program, Job Hunting Made Simple.

She helps women shift their energy and take back their inner power and self-care rights by making themselves the number one priority.

Three Things I Learned In SaaS, Sports, Tech & Live Events Podcast
Three Things I Learned In Saas, Sports Tech and Live Events: 1. The dramatic increase in the consumer savings rate - from $2.7T to $4.6T- is leading live events companies into a new "Roaring 20s," at least that's what they're pitching to investors and financiers as seen in the below linked Vivid Seats pipe deck. The plan calls for 2x-3x as many live shows in the coming 18 months which, if bought, would normalize the savings rate. It's a spring for market share we're all about to watch. 2. Live events are rushing back and staffing up quick. It's a stampede. Hiring managers, remember the experience from the other side. When they didn't call us. When we couldn't get a chance. When we didn't have a way in and tried our best with a cold outreach. Return calls. Return notes. Have the courage to give feedback. Don't leave people waiting by the phone - good news or bad. Help. If even for self interest - you never know where they end up. 3. "It's easier to fool people than to convince them they've been fooled" - Mark Twain. If around long enough, you'll lose an employee, a prospect, a deal or a partner to dishonesty. It's best to take time working to "unfool" them as nobody likes to admit they've fallen for a deception….at least not right away.

About our guest, Michele Chevalley Hedge: Michele Chevalley Hedge was previously a marketing manager, so she truly understands the needs of time-poor corporate executives who, family or not, want health but not hassle. Health magazine editors often introduce her as “the modern-day nutritionist – the one who likes a bit of wine and coffee.” She is not Paleo Pete, or I Quit Sugar but perfectly placed somewhere in the healthy middle. Michele's clinical practice and experience allow her to share stories of patients and their nutritional transformation, which give the audience goosebumps – the kinds of stories that can only be heard if you are at the coal face with clients. Women who say their addiction to food caused their divorce; executives who say they don't like going to the boardroom without her five top tips; and politicians, and their families, who come to her wellness retreats. Recognizing her sensible approach to nutrition, four years ago, Wiley Publishing commissioned Michele to write Beating Sugar Addictions for Dummies. Every week, Michele works with major banks in Australia – Westpac, CBA, ANZ, HSBC, and corporations like Apple, Dropbox, Dexus, News.com, MFAA, Women in Focus, ACCOR, Westfield, Department of Defence, Tourism Portfolio, Heart Research Australia, Cure Cancer, and schools and education events. She is the keynote speaker for the Heads of Schools of Australia and the Positive Schools Conference in Hong Kong. Michele is also an ambassador for Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution and the launch of THAT SUGAR FILM. Michele is the Nature Care College Ambassador, Cure Cancer Ambassador, and Heart Research Institute Ambassador and consults for 100's on international corporations. She recently sat alongside the Dalai Lama at a conference where she presented on ‘Vitality, Energy and Serotonin – It's all in Your Food.' Mental health and nutrition research is her passion, and she often declares, “It makes the New Yorker come out in her.” SPECIAL DISCOUNT CODE FOR LISTENERS: use the code: 25%offLSL when signing up to Michelle's Low Sugar Lifestyle Program Connect with Michele: Website Facebook Instagram LinkedIn Twitter Youtube Are you new to The Job Hunting Podcast?

From the moment I decided to start a podcast, Lynne Cazaly was on the top of my list of potential guests. There's something about her leadership style, her unassuming way, and the quiet confidence that she exudes, making her the perfect guest speaker. Last year, while trying to lock her in to record this episode, she was the hardest guest to pin down: she was in such high demand as a conference speaker, she was never in Melbourne long enough for us to get together. Now with COVID and quarantine, life has changed, we zoomed in, and finally, we had our chat a few weeks ago. Lynne's training and speaking gigs have included working for Australia's largest organizations, like Telstra, Australia Post, nab, CBA, and the AFL. She regularly travels to New Zealand, where she has a loyal following and delivers training and keynotes. Lynne has also done keynotes, workshops, and training in Europe, the USA, and Asia. Her latest book, “ish: The Problem with our Pursuit for Perfection and the Life-Changing Practice of Good Enough,” got a lot of media attention. Lynne was interviewed extensively on TV and in magazines. The topic of perfectionism is one that everyone can relate to, and for that reason, I was able to see my friend in many morning TV shows over many weeks! In this interview, we have pivoted the discussion about perfectionism to focus mostly on career planning, job hunting, and the selection and recruitment process. A “perfect” resume, a “perfect” match for the key selection criteria, giving the “perfect” answer to an interview question, “the perfect” job, being the “perfect” candidate” - these are sayings we through around all the time whilst job hunting.

In this episode, I talk about the steps to take to build a skills inventory. I'll cover some of the resources that we spoke about in Episode 17 as well as the specific approach for creating your skills inventory. We'll also talk about why having a skills inventory is important and how you can use it to support your career and learning journeys.Key TakeawaysBroadly, skills can be grouped as transferable skills (what you can do), special knowledge (what you know), and self-management skills (how you conduct yourself) Transferable skills are the most important and these are skills like constructing, creating, researching, analysing, teaching, organising, repairing, initiating, networking, communicating, planningSpecial knowledge is skills like physics, graphic design, bookkeeping, mathematics, data analysis, French, and psychologySelf-management skills are skills like being adaptable, self-confident, dependable, supportive, loyal, persistent, innovative, and resourcefulThe more transferable skills you have, the more choice you will have when it comes to jobs and careersTransferable skills can be further broken down into people skills, information or data skills, and skills working with thingsIdentify and describe seven stories that are significant to you. These can cover both your career and personal life. Typical things might be something that stood out in your life, publicly displaying your skills, a really good outcome, something that gave you pride or was a particular challenge, something that your colleagues or peers could not do, something that you would like to do or experience again, something that excited you Matching skills to these stories will provide you with a skills inventory, highlighting your strongest skills and also any gapsUse this inventory to compare against still that are in demandResources MentionedI used the following resources in this episode:The OECD Skills for Jobs websiteThe OECD Skills Needs websiteRecommended ReadingI used and recommend reading What Colour Is Your Parachute? 2020: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers by Richard N.

For professionals in the corporate, nonprofit and public sectors, almost nothing feels the same and it is challenging to see where we are heading, let alone plan for our careers. To have courage to face the unknown will be crucial to getting us as individuals and as a community moving towards our preferred future. So, where can we get our courage from and how do we apply that in our career? In todays' episode, I interviewed Dina Pozzo. With more than twenty years' experience in learning and organisational development both locally and internationally, Dina is a highly skilled facilitator and coach. Dina completed a Master of Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Melbourne and was trained by Brene Brown as a Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator. In this interview, we address the following questions: What does courage looks like during job search? And in the office? What does being vulnerable has to do courage? Can you practice "courage" and get better at it? And how can you use your personal strengths to develop courage? Key takeaways: Courage is an intentional constructive or moral action taken by an individual in the presence of perceived personal risk and uncertainty of outcome (personal or organisational) in order to resolve or avert a workplace issue. Sometimes it takes courage to do nothing. What I may need courage for, you may not. And vice versa. If we stop and think and unpack the past, we can say when we've been courageous in the past, we can say what we did, how we did it, how we felt, who enabled us, all those things. Be a courage spotter: When you spot courage in someone else, call it out because that helps build our self-awareness. Know that vulnerability is actually strength. BRAVING stands for – Boundaries, Reliability, the Vote, Integrity, Non-judgement, and Generosity. If you come back to your values every time when you reach that fork in the road, we know whatever the decision that needs to be made is going to be an easier decision to make. I'm not saying it's going to be an easy decision, but it will be easier. Three questions to reflect on to job hunt with courage: How worthwhile is that action? How risky is it to apply for that role? What action will you take? Four key skills of courage: Rumbling with vulnerability. Braving trust Living your values Learning to rise Four Character Strengths that sit in the virtue of courage: Authenticity and honesty Perseverance Zest or energy Bravery Subscribe to Reset Your Career And receive access to the Reset Your Career Masterclass and other job hunting tools to get your career plans back on track, with more confidence and less stress: https://www.renatabernarde.com/join Where to listen/subscribe/follow this podcast Podcast Website Click here for iTunes Click here for Spotify Click here to YouTube I'd love if you could give this Podcast a 5-star review It helps so much!

The Job Hunting Podcast is available on Spotify, iTunes, Google Podcasts and YouTube, as well as on my website. Episode Show Notes Are you one of the many people right now that has been made redundant? Or you fear losing your job in the near future due to the pandemic and its repercussions? In this unprecedented, The Job Hunting Podcast has focused on interviewing experts to help you navigate the new world of work, the uncertainty in the market and the scale and mass redundancies we are experiencing. In this episode I interview Sandy Hutchison, a Career Transition Specialist and the CEO and Founder of Career Money Life, a platform that supports mid-large scale redundancies in Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia. We start by discussing her career background and our own experiences with redundancy. We then discuss the sudden large-scale redundancies happening during COVID, and how it is being felt by those who are on the receiving end. My company is certified provider of Career Money Life. This means we completed a strict vetting process that included checks on our professional industry certifications, ACCC, ASIC, Scam Watch investigations, DIA and Commerce Commission Consumer Report, as well as social media and Google search reviews. And we were delighted to do so, which is good for you, and us! To learn more about our certification please read here. Key takeaways: Two factors that make redundancies now more severe are their scale and the pace. What we are experiencing right now is the pace and the scale of change that is happening hasn't happened before in our lifetime. Sadly, there is still a need for many organizations to make the tough call to let people go. The idea that we will turn the switch and go back to the way things were is not going to happen. I will be a tougher job market. Organizations are being forced to pivot and think of ways to do things more effectively, and technologically based. It is important for job seekers to reskill and upskill and doing that in areas where there's going to be demand. Step by step - Get ready for the job market: Cover the basic stuff to be job search ready: updated CV (boring is the new sexy), LinkedIn, prepare for video interviews, network. Ask the bigger question: Who am I and am I just going to go back to my old job? Or am I going to use this time to retrain and do something different and what skills do I have and how do I take those skills and transfer them? If you don't have credentials, take a course to consolidate your experiences and your learnings, for example if you are a project manager. This can just be the thing that edges you into the "yes" pile rather than the "maybe" pile. But not just any random course, you need to be strategic about what's going to make sense for your career. Redundancy across different generations: For people that have been redundant in their thirties, there's a lot more flexibility to pivot or transition into different areas. Also they haven't been away from school that long that the prospect of going back to study isn't so daunting and foreign. For those made redundant in their 50's there's a lot more pressure in life. And sadly there is still age discrimination. In your CV, don't put the years you graduated. You don't have to include every job you've ever had, leave off the early ones. Don't let them know how old you are because we know there's a lot of that discrimination out there. Job hunt vs open a business: If you would rather venture as an entrepreneur, Sandy's advice would be they need to take this you know, incredibly seriously. Do the boring stuff like actually building a cash flow projection and building a detailed business plan and putting those numbers together and then cutting them in half and then taking that to five people you know that are super cynical and get them to review it. Then go out and talk to people to find out if they would actually buy your product. Another option is to have the business on the side, so you can slowly build up your confidence and make sure this is a viable product. For some, short term cash is really important. If you need to manage your cash and do things to get by while you look for your work, that's okay right now. Whether it's volunteering for medical studies or Uber driving. Get visible on LinkedIn, contribute, and build your network right now. If you can't find a job now, plan your time so that you can take time to do things you would have liked to have had done in your life. Are there things you want to learn or experience or people you want to reconnect with? Make sure you're doing those things, so you're adding value to your life as a whole.

Special (Free) Covid-19 Resources for Job Hunters and Working-From-Home Professionals Subscribe (Free) to Reset your Career From the moment I decided to start a podcast, Lynne Cazaly was on the top of my list of potential guests. There's something about her leadership style, her unassuming way, the quiet confidence that she exudes, that makes her the perfect guest speaker. Last year, while trying to lock her in to record this episode, she was the hardest guest to pin down: she was in such high demand as a conference speaker, she was never in Melbourne long enough for us to get together. Now with COVID and quarantine, life has changed, we zoomed in, and finally we had our chat a few weeks ago. Lynne's training and speaking gigs have included working for the largest organisations in Australia, like Telstra, Australia Post, nab, CBA and the AFL. She travels regularly to New Zealand where she has a loyal following, and delivers training and keynotes. Lynne has also done keynotes, workshops, and training in Europe, USA and Asia. Her latest book, ish: The Problem with our Pursuit for Perfection and the Life-Changing Practice of Good Enough, got a lot of media attention. Lynne was interviewed extensively on TV and magazines. The topic of perfectionism is one that everyone can relate, and for that reason I was able to see my friend in many morning TV shows over many weeks! In this interview, we have pivoted the discussion about perfectionism to focus mostly on career planning, job hunting, and the selection and recruitment process. A “perfect” resume, a “perfect” match for the key selection criteria, giving the “perfect” answer to an interview question, “the perfect” job, being the “perfect” candidate” - these are sayings we through around all the time whilst job hunting. But they do impact on out mindset, and create an expectation that is unhealthy, unhelpful and not sustainable. I hope that after listening to this episode you will feel free from "perfectionism" and ready to embrace "good enough"! Interview time stamps 5:08 - Lynne's career progression, and her experience in the corporate sector of the need to be perfect 8:55 - Difference between going for perfect, which is impossible, versus going for complete and accurate information, which is an achievable goal 10:35 - Perfectionism, job hunting and how to improvise 13:50 - How Lynne wrote the book using improv techniques and how this is a great example of how to treat your resume, and the concept of version control 22:25 - How “Perfect” is still expected: by your, in the recruitment and selection world, and in the corporate world in general: Lynne's tips to dealing with sectors and industries were perfectionism is expected. 3 main types of Perfectionism. 26:30 - Me explaining the dissonance between the perfect picture put together by companies for job applicants when they go to market looking to hire, versus the candidate working solo trying to meet what is most times “over the top” expectations from recruiters and hiring managers. 29:13 - The Parreto Principle: How job hunters can prepare themselves for the job market, and not worry about not being “perfect” 31:57 - Why putting more effort into something can actually get you worst results and the idea of iterative improvement of resumes Links mentioned in this episode: Special Covid-19 Resources for Job Hunters and Working-From-Home Professionals Subscribe to Reset your Career Lynne Cazaly's website – where you can also buy her books Lynne Cazaly's Instagram Lynne Cazaly's LinkedIn profile Subscribe to Reset Your Career And receive access to the Reset Your Career Masterclass and other job hunting tools to get your career plans back on track, with more confidence and less stress: https://www.renatabernarde.com/join Where to listen/subscribe/follow this podcast Podcast Website Click here for iTunes Click here for Spotify Click here to YouTube I'd love if you could give this Podcast a 5-star review It helps so much!

Special Covid-19 Resources for Job Hunters and Working-From-Home Professionals Subscribe to Reset your Career This is part 2 of a 2-part interview with Dr Fatima Khan, a Menopause Specialist, discussing how menopause and hormonal imbalances affect women's career from as early as mid 30s. I go into detail about Fatima's training in my introduction on part 1, so please listen to that episode first (Ep.26) to learn more about her background, and most importantly, to listen to her introduction to the issues we will be unpacking in this second half of our discussion. After quite a few weeks of podcasts focusing squarely on COVID-19, the interview with Fatima turned out to be an absolute winner. Downloads have been massive, so thank you so much to everyone who has been listening, and I've also received calls, emails and messages of support. I love it when this happens: when I take somewhat of a risk – frankly I wasn't sure if it was the right time to releasing an episode about menopause during a covid pandemic! – but it seems you liked it! It shows we are in tune with each other. And thank you for giving me the feedback. Good or bad, it's important that we continue to communicate, so the episodes are always interesting and something you look forward to. And talking about feedback, I'd really appreciate if you could take a moment and leave this podcast a review on iTunes. iTunes reviews are super important for searchability of podcast episodes and shows. It's what makes a podcast popular and easy to find for others around the globe who may be experiencing the same issues you are, and would really benefit from listening. So please, pay it forward. Give it a 5-star rating and write a review as well. It would mean the world to me, and would help a fellow job hunter. You may not know this, but we have listeners from all over the world. Less then half of my listeners are from Australia, where I reside. The rest is spread out on all corners of the globe, from Africa to the Caribbean Islands, Europe to Asia. It's truly fascinating to get the statistics. It shows that career planning and job hunting are truly universal topics and, despite a few regional and cultural adjustments which I'm hoping you, the listener, know you'd need to make, there is a whole lot of techniques and strategies that are universal.

The aim for this podcast is to help you nail your next job and have the career you want.

When you join the Reset You Career, I will send you essential resources. It includes a masterclass, a guide for job hunters, an email template for you to contact recruiters. This is all the essential kit you need to get you job hunting, or planning your next career steps. If you have not listened to previous episodes of The Job Hunting Podcast – we have a series of COVID-related episodes you may want to listen to asap. In fact, to help make things simpler for you, I have put together a list of Essential COVID resources for Job Hunters and Work From Home Professionals. They include the podcasts that are most relevant for our times, the live coaching sessions, additional articles and specially curated links to help you keep on top of what is important to know, as a corporate professional, as we prepare ourselves for future job interviews and adjust our career plans. In this part 2 of the interview with Dr Fatima Khan, we talk about the stress that comes from juggling career and family life, from deciding when/if to have kids, and considering if you will be able to cope with it all. It's palpable how much Fatima is concerned about women's wellbeing and her concern about how stress and anxiety is impacting not only our career progression, but our overall health. Fatima worries that right when we reach the career level that we aspire, we encounter the stigma of women not being effective leaders or decision makers. Her goal is to ensure hormonal inbalances are not affecting women at this time, that they are under control so women feel in control. I interviewed Fatima at the very beginning of covid, so also I had the opportunity to ask her about the anxiety brought about by the lockdown and how it can impact us as well. Below is a list we prepared for you to help you maintain your wellbeing during these challenging times. Dr Fatima Khan's top advice for women's wellbeing: Journaling: as discussed last week, this is the main framework suggested by Dr Khan. It helps bring awareness and consciousness on what is happening to our body before and after our menstruation. With the help of your doctor, take the proper supplements to help our hormones. Fatima mentions a few for as examples and for educational purposes: magnesium powder, fish oil, vitamin B, iron supplement, 1000 mg of liposomal vitamin C. If you're finding you're getting a bit sick, you can take vitamin C up to three times a day. Seven to ten days before your period, change your workout routine into more calming rehabilitative workouts. Find purpose and meaning through connection and helping other people. It can be doing some volunteer work that is very helpful these days, or simply buying someone's groceries. This will give us a sense of fulfillment and contentment, something outside of ourselves. Practice the act of Kindness: We have talked about taking care of our physical, emotional and mental well-being. Kindness is almost contagious when you try and do things for other people, without thinking of gain for our self and actually is food for the soul. Practice self-reflection: Self-reflection is one of the most fundamental things to do, because when we self-reflect, we get a better perspective of what we want to do or what we can change. And this will help us immensely in our careers as well. In this time of pandemic, it is important to know that feeling anxious is a normal reaction of our body. Stop listening to the news all the time. Only look at the news once a day, and go back to your normal routine. Do the things you would normally do. Do some activities that you love to take your mind off things and let you relax such as dancing, cooking, baking and puzzles. Legos are fantastic for mindfulness. Follow a good sleep hygiene. Refer to last week's interview show notes. Finally, it is important to have compassion, not just in this time of pandemic, but also in our careers. We don't know what each person is going through, and it helps to sometimes put ourselves in their feet. Don't forget to be aware of symptoms and signs of perimenopause and menopause and get the proper treatment. See the links below. Dr Fatima Khan is a member of the AGORA Medical Specialist Centre and Medical Education team, based in Melbourne. At the time this episode goes live, as we are in lockdown mode due to COVID-19, the Australian Government has enabled doctors to see patients remotely via telehealth. So this is a great opportunity, if you are based in Australia and would like to book an appointment with her. I will list the contact details for Fatima, and other Agora Medical Clinic in the episode show notes.

Fatima is passionate about women's health. She completed a Diploma at the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists in the UK; she has an Advanced Menopause Certification accredited from the British Menopausal Society and Faculty of Reproductive and Sexual Health. Her specializations were achieved after her extensive training as a doctor at Kings College London, which is well recognized as a referral center for menopausal women with complex medical problems.

I will list the contact details for Fatima, and other Agora Medical Clinic in the episode show notes. Agora has a strong focus on women, including obstetrics, gynecology, fertility and cosmetic medicine. After quite a few weeks of podcasts focusing squarely on COVID-19, this episode may sound very different indeed. Until I noticed an interesting trend. You see, I follow several private female blogs and private Facebook groups, and over the past few weeks as the anxiety over COVID-19 and its economic, social and health impact started unfolding, so did many very common issues women face: breakouts, hormonal imbalances, hot flushes, waking up at 3 am. Some tweets from women asking “who else is waking up at 3 am” had hundreds and hundreds of comments. I really like how Fatima addressed the hormonal as well as the stress levels we currently have in our day to day lives. She touches on both, weaves them together as well as addresses them separately, which for me was really educational. Like many women, as I aged, I felt more anxious and fatigued, perhaps due to the many things we worry about and things we have to do. I experienced lack of concentration, sleeplessness and mild bouts of depression every now and then, perhaps due to the many roles in life that I've had to juggle from being mother, a leader in the work place, a wife and all the responsibilities that come with it all. In hindsight, I am 100% certain that my hormones have at times helped me pull through, and at times got in the way and really negatively impacted my career, possibly since my late 30s. All the topics Fatima will describe in her interview, I can mark a tick next to all of them: forgetfulness, extreme headaches, weight gain, mood swings. Fatima's biggest concern and goal is to support ambitious corporate women to continue to pursue their careers and not feel like they need to give up on anything because they can't control their perimenopausal symptoms, or any hormonal fluctuations they may be experiencing. Her goal is to treat and empower women, so they can fully embrace their career. I hope you enjoyed this first half of the interview. In Part 2 we are going to look at actions: what can we actually do to improve our well-being? Step by step tips and advice from Fatima for women of different ages. So, don't forget to subscribe to my Reset Your Career Community and I will send Part 2 to you next week. Here are some of the key takeaways from Part 1 of our interview: Starting in our mid-thirties, our progesterone level goes down. Progesterone is not only a fertility hormone but our calming hormone, so it can result in more anxiety related symptoms where we get more emotional. Early to mid-forties, estrogen level goes down as well, period becomes shorter or longer. All the things we felt from mid-thirties get exaggerated by this age. About depression, true depression is having a low mood for six weeks. We will find that after our period we feel so much better, and so this depressive feeling we have prior is because of the low level of hormones. For the sleep problems we have, it can be due to decline in estrogen and progesterone, and we have to fix it by getting the correct hormones to replace the deficiency. But for majority of the people, it's because we just don't have a good sleep hygiene. Solution: Write a journal. Write your thoughts, your feelings, what you are grateful for that day, what the winds of the day, what to improve in terms of self-development, and then set intentions for the next day, but in relation to their menstrual cycle. Now you can change your routine and listen to your body 7 to 10 days prior menstruation with the help of this journal. Changes can be: Keep your schedule lighter and not over commit to work. Avoid doing intense workouts, instead you can do yoga, Pilates, or something similar that is more calming. Minimize caffeine intake, take green tea instead. Have a sleep hygiene of going to bed at 9pm with all gadgets switched off. Avoid processed foods and go for more green vegetables. Eat nutrient rich food, not energy dense food. Keep small snacks so as not to have big sugar slumps. Supplements are important: powdered magnesium, vitamin B, vitamin C, Vitex, Iron supplement, Fish oil Recognize the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, there are links below you can check. And consult a specialist to be able to tailor fit for you the solutions depending on your conditions. Please consult your doctor or see a specialist before taking any medication or supplement.

Together with episodes 12 and 13, this episode is a companion to my 31 Days of Actions to Reset your Career, a project I've created to help professionals make the most out of this month of January and take 1 day at a time in creating new habits and taking actions that will have an positive effect in their career advancement and job hunting prospects. This can be used throughout your career, year, it's not a January-only strategy. It's really an opportunity for you to press the reset button whenever you feel ready, and incorporate these actions in your life. At least give them a try! If you want to follow the 2nd half of the project day by day, follow me on Instagram, Facebook or my Company LinkedIn page. 1. Go for a 30-minute walk before or after work It resets your mind: if you've been sitting all day or will be sitting all day, you need a breather. It gives you the opportunity to rest from work and worries: listen to your fun podcast (see my post for Day 8!) or music, or call your friend, or meditate. It gives you the opportunity to review your plans and make new ones: listen to your sector or professional development podcast (again, see post from Day 8!), think about your achievements for the day, or what you plan to do today. 2. Post an article on LinkedIn aligned to your expertise. If you are following the 31 Days of Actions to Reset Your Career, you are now ready to start networking online, and sharing some knowledge with your network. You have a it all together. Don't be reluctant to start posting on LinkedIn, it is a really great way to get noticed by people who can directly hire you, or can advocate for you. So find a great article you have read recently - about your sector, professional interest – and share on LinkedIn: Add your own words: a couple of sentences to explain why this article is a great read; Add some hashtags to make your post reach out to those who are interested in the topic – LinkedIn is great at providing you with hashtags. 2 or 3 is all you need. Watch out for comments: if someone comments, you reply back. Don't leave them hanging. This is about establishing new connections. And if no one comments, don't feel bad! Establish a routine of posting every week, and you will learn how to establish better connections, and your network will understand the shift and start engaging more over time. 3. Connect with all your professional connections on LinkedIn We are in constant transition and having to re-think how we actually keep tabs with technology and what is the simplest possible way to do things these days. So if there are important connections sitting in your contacts, which you are not yet linked to on LinkedIn, use this upcoming weekend to send them a connection invitation. 4. Envision what your career might be like. Write it down. Writing down your goals and dreams is really important: It helps clarify your dreams, what you want to achieve. It motivates you to take action. Doing this “brain dump” exercise will clear your head; clear all the noise and confusion your thoughts have a tendency to create, especially on a Sunday evening! You will start your week with a huge weight off your back, and a new-found inspiration to put your plans into action. 5. Follow 3 people on LinkedIn with profiles and careers you admire The difference between Following and Connecting on LinkedIn: You should “connect” with people you know. You should “follow” people you do not know, but you want to see what they post, and want their posts to show up on your feed. Following is important because it allows you to: have a LinkedIn feed of posts from top leaders in your profession; follow recruiters and headhunters without adding them as connections; follow companies that you are interested in. Sometimes people Follow when they should Connect I always think it's strange when I meet someone and next thing I know, they are “following” me. I'd rather they “connect” with me instead! If you went to a conference or event and saw a senior leader speak and it inspired you, you can write to them on LinkedIn, explain how much you enjoyed their speech/presentation, and invite them to connect with you. Sometimes people Connect when they should Follow: If you have never ever met a professional, you should follow. Even if you share 100 connections with someone, you should follow. If you heard them speak at a conference or event, but you haven't met them AND you don't want to write anything to them, you should follow. 6. Download a list of Action verbs and keep it easy access. Actions verbs are verbs that clearly demonstrate an action. Opposite of Action verbs are Linking/Being verbs. See the difference below: I am the general manager – being verb; versus I manage a team of 15 professional staff - action verb. Employers like to see action verbs in your resume. I'd extend that to not only your resume, but all your written job-hunting communication. In a limited amount of “real estate”, action verbs maximize impact. Note the difference of the two statements below: I worked in fundraising for 10 years. I created a fundraising campaign that generated $350,000 in donations during 2019. As you can see above, action verbs are strong action words that help define your experience, skills and career accomplishments. If you don't use them to explain your career, you are not emphasizing your strengths well enough. Recruiter's preferred action verbs are: achieved, improved, trained, mentored, managed, created. Download Now a complete list if career-related action verbs, organized by type of work/task completed: What you need to do? ✔️Keep the list of action verbs always close to you and easily accessible. ✔️Go through your resume and replace the boring verbs with action verbs. ✔️Be mindful of future communication and continue to strive and use action verbs whenever possible. 7. Read a career development article or blog There's so much noise these days, so much distraction it's easy to spend time with things that add nothing to our lives, wellbeing and knowledge. It's not so much that we spend too much time on our phones, it's that we do and they we can't even remember what we were looking at! So have the right triggers in place to help you use that time well. Find great podcasts to listen, download good apps with news and articles that add value to your life. You can even learn a few foreign words, a new recipe, or update your knowledge on your favourite topic while driving, walking or cooking. Reading career-related articles should be a must for professionals going through career transitions, who are job searching at the moment or thinking and strategizing about their next steps. Find someone you trust and follow them. Could be sector-specific, general leadership skills or career advancement advice. If you haven't yet subscribed to my newsletter, I'd love to have you onboard.
