Career Care Package #110 The 4 R’s of job search success

by K B , updated on August 19, 2020

Your job search can be a mish mass of messy emotions.

Try saying that 10 times fast!

Our success can depend on many things.

How we see ourselves and how others see us, how we present with our resumes or LinkedIn profiles, the strength of our networks and how we bounce back from failure or setbacks.

We’re meeting Karen Thompson, the Founder of Communicate U on Career Care Package.

Karen helps people build confidence and courage and find their voice to connect with their audience and amplify their personal brand.

Karen must be a communication expert because she’s crafted a handy way of remembering the ideas I have identified above into the 4 R’s of career success: Resume, Reputation, Relationship and Resilience.

I can’t wait to unpack these themes with Karen.

Career Care Package #108 Cut through or CUT out – How to make a resume stand out

by K B , updated on August 17, 2020

A wise woman once said – everything you write on a resume needs to earn it’s place there.

So we’re talking on #CareerCarePackage on how to make a resume stand out.

I totally agree with that wise woman.

Repeat after me.

A stand out resume has……

No fluff.

No exaggerated claims.

No weasel waffle.

That’s why today in an extra bonus session of #CareerCarePackage we’re welcoming Matt Warzel from MJW Careers.

Matt’s been writing resumes and providing job search coaching since 2003.

Matt comes to us all the way from North Carolina at the very special time of 10pm, Melbourne time which is 8am in Wilmington where Matt’s located.

We’re talking on how to make a great resume.

Now US resumes tend to be snappier and more to the point than Aussie resumes – and that’s exactly why we’re talking to Matt.

Because we figure in today’s world where recruiters will be inundated with the sheer volume of what’s coming in, you getting to the important point faster has to be a big bonus.

Here’s a taste of what we’re asking Matt:

Career Care Package #106 The Rocking Resume Renovation Rescue Show (With Resume Examples)

by K B , updated on August 17, 2020

Hey ho, off we go.

We’re tackling resume renovations and rescues with some real-life examples of what has worked and not worked for our clients.

2020 is different.

So our advice around the format, template, length and presentation for a resume is different.

Why?

Because you are competing with hundreds more people than you were in 2019 for the same position.

So how do you make your resume stand out?

In this episode we’re covering the following:

  • What makes a great resume in 2020 – is it different from 2019?
  • How to make your resume stand out?
  • Should you have different resumes for different purposes – say one for networking, one for applying?
  • How long should a resume really be?
  • Tear down/break down of resumes that have actually worked

Career Care Package #104 We’re shining the spotlight on one amazing business owner who sees the opportunity in every threat.

by K B , updated on August 12, 2020

The recession Australia had to have in the early 1990’s, the Dot Com bubble and bust, 9/11, the GFC and now the glorious mess that is Covid-19 – I am sure I’ve missed a few other economic slaps and whacks that have happened during the period The Australian Turntable Company has been in operation.

That’s why we’re delighted to bring Co-Founder Paul Chapman onto Career Care Package and shine the spotlight on his experience.

This is a small business based in the Victorian town of Bendigo.

They’ve not only survived what the world has tossed at them, but thrived.
