Career Care Package #50 LinkedIn Live – Own AND share your story – it can change your career (and your life)

by K B , updated on July 6, 2020

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.

Career Care Package #49 LinkedIn Live – Making your money work smarter during Covid-19

by K B , updated on July 6, 2020

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.

Yes, you read that correctly.

As part of our #CareerCarePackage, Naish and I are throwing the next LinkedIn Live session over to you.

This is a tough time to find a job.

We’ve been speaking to a lot of people in recruitment and talent acquisition who tell us that instead of getting 60 applications for a role, they’re now receiving 500+.

What that means for you, is that you need to be more creative in getting noticed, and in the way you look for a job.

So if you’ve got questions, about anything at all related to your job search, join us today at 3pm Melbourne time.

We’ll have  red hot go at helping you put your best foot forward.

Finding Wisdom in Chaos – a First Nations perspective on a different life post Covid-19

by Daniel Solodky , updated on April 27, 2020

Did you ever meet a tree charging a bird rent? Did you ever meet a river charging fish for water? 

As counsellors, we sit with people who are in crisis. 

Clients are on the front line of a new kind of battle where survival, meaning, purpose and wellbeing are considered primary. 

There are no clear-cut answers, but there is a deep commitment to finding a new way to live life. 

Together with our clients, we wrestle with deep questions such as:

  1. How can I earn money, but still do something that has deep meaning and purpose in my life?
  2. How can I contribute to make the world a better place, while providing for my family? 
  3. How can I remain true to myself, while having to constantly earn money to survive? 

Back in historical times money was not an issue. The First Nations were self-sufficient and traded amongst themselves. There was a natural trust that whatever the Nations needed, it could be sourced through the collective efforts of the hunters, gatherers and the community as a whole.

A very special LinkedIn Live Online to help unlock your hidden strengths.

by K B , updated on July 6, 2020

I’m delighted to present you a unique Career Care Package on LinkedInLive.

We know it’s sooooo hard to “write down your career goals” if you don’t know what those goals are, or whether they match your innate strengths?

If this is you, watch our LinkedIn Live.

We did simple live exercises with creative problem-solving expert Natalia Walker to help you to start to unlock your hidden strengths and talents.

Don’t worry, it’s not about putting people in a monkey suit to do some interpretative dance around your fridge.

But to do the exercises you will need the following:

    • Either download and print out these worksheets 
    • A round bowl to trace around
    • 4 – 5 pieces of white paper
    • At least 1 coloured pencil (preferably more).

Natalia is Director of Inner Creative. She works with individuals and businesses to empower people to unlock their creativity to get more out of their lives and business.

This exercise is super revealing, both in what comes up, but also helping you identify the type of learner you are.

And that insight alone is gold.
