How to find a job in Australia

Looking for a counselling job? If so you're in luck. I ask experienced Counsellor Roohi Ahmad what's it's really like being a counsellor, and her best job hunting tips. You know how everyone says research the job before you apply - well, this is an excellent example of that kind of research in action. 

Listen to Roohi's inspiring journey. Find out how volunteering shaped her career path, what's great about what she does, what she finds challenging, and how to stand out when you first look for a job.  

We dig deep into the power of networking, especially on LinkedIn, and how it can open doors to exciting opportunities and connections in the counselling space. And, just as importantly, we also look at how to get over your fear of networking.

Do you want to know the best part of this interview? 

It's Roohi of course. She's really (really) big on paying it forward.So if you want to reach out to her and get more advice, for the simple price of a cup of coffee - she's up for it.
