“Instead of better glasses, your network gives you better eyes.” – Ronald Burt.

I love this saying.

From a job-hunting perspective, I interpret this as meaning, instead of needing a shiny CV – not only does your network let you understand the job market much better, and focus your efforts accordingly – they can see you through different eyes, and recommend you for roles you’ve not even thought about.

That’s so important if your world closes in with rejection after rejection from relying on applying online.

Today we’re delighted to be talking networking with Tom Broxham – Founder of the Broxham Network.

He’s a Canadian, living in New Zealand and a trainer on networking skills.

He’s talking from his lived experience.

On the same day he got his NZ visa, he got an interview and found a job – all through networking.

Now we know most people don’t love networking.

But there are ways to network and see networking that could make it less painful for you.

And who knows, you may even get to enjoy it.

Join us today for what will be a lively and interesting discussion.

When I wanted to change my career, I did a lot of experimentation.

In no particular order, here are some of the ways.

I volunteered with a food van to feed people experiencing hardship. I taught asylum seekers how to use computers. I wrote submissions to the government so some could stay in Australia. I helped asylum seekers find jobs. I wrote a couple of articles for industry magazines. I conducted research for an association for office professionals.  I coached friends on job interviews.  I chaired charity committees. I wrote promotional material for a literacy program.

And that’s just the unpaid stuff.

I didn’t even think I could ask other people who’d gone before me for help.

Looking back I could have saved myself a lot of pain.

If you’re confused about what to do – we have someone interesting for you to meet.

On today’s show we’re grilling Sharn Bedi.

Sharn has reinvented her career from sales and marketing, to TV hosting to coaching.

We’re going to get her to share exactly how she did it.

Have you ever wondered why people are not connecting with you on LinkedIn or in interview?

My guess is that you’re hiding behind a mask of your experience and skills when you show up in the recruitment process.

Yet what people are really looking for is to better understand you.

Let me give a little example to explain what I mean.

“As Founder of InterviewIQ Karalyn has spent the last 10 years helping people find jobs.”

Even I’m a bit “meh” when I read something like that.

What about this, then?

“As a young girl, I always had an idea that there was more going on in the world, than what others around me accepted as normal. I sensed my family was thought of as a little odd in our neighbourhood as we didn’t have carpet in our house, and only one car.

I found it weird that nobody thought to ask questions about why. I think I have been asking them ever since. 

I suspect that makes me a good writer.”

I realise my story speaks to a very middle class and suburban upbringing – but which statement do you connect with more?

This is what we’re talking about today on Career Care Package.

How sharing your story can make the biggest and most powerful difference to your career success.

We’re excited to be joined by Founder of Mpowrd – Natasha Margaritis.

Natasha has a great career backstory story herself and will talk us through how storytelling can shape your success.

Have you noticed how some people seem to be hitting the shops more than ever during this crisis, and others go into lockdown mode?

I’m in the latter camp – but, ironically that does not make me a better money manager.

Today we have a very special guest – Money Coach, Matt Hern

We’re talking about how to manage your money if you’re worried about your job and finances during Covid-19.

Matt goes beyond the standard tips about budgeting.

We’re also digging into creating the mindset that will help you be more effective.
