doctorsIf you have a medical specialty interview coming up and you need to train to get into the best possible shape, then read on.

InterviewIQ’s preferred interview trainer, Deborah Barit, is running face to face interview training master classes in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

In my mind Deborah is one of Australia’s best interview trainers. I have no hesitation about referring people to her, particularly people who struggle to sell themselves in interview.

She’s had over 10 years’ experience training a range of specialists and has helped some of Sydney’s top medical professionals.

Some of her interview trainees have topped the state in results.

People specifically fly in to see her. [click to continue…]

photo (62)How to get a job in Australia with no local experience

One of the things that lures people to Australia is our lovely lifestyle and sunny shores.

Something like this picture here.

However it can be tough to land a great first gig here if you have “no local experience.”

I have been helping many skilled migrants and writing on this topic for many years now, including at one stage half joking that Bill Gates couldn’t get a job here without local experience.

I have said several times publicly, that we’re in a global world and this is not as big an issue as everyone thinks.

However if you’re looking for a job, and you are new to Australia, there are things you need to be aware of – that can get in the way of your success.

So, now I’m delighted to be presenting the first of a seminar series helping skilled migrants who are members of the ACCA, the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.

The Association is the world’s leading body for professional accountants. See more here.

Find out more about this exciting event here.

The event is open to members and non members, however the content will be tailored to the needs of the accounting profession.

Date: Tuesday 8th March

Time: 6:00 – 8:00 pm (registration 5:45pm)

Location:

Hall Chadwick Offices
Level 40
2 Park St
Sydney, 2000

Find out more about this exciting event here.

PS: We’re also running a webinar for interstate people, the next day.

Stay tuned for registration details.

photo (60)Many people say that the only constant is change, but I disagree!

When it comes to career or organisational change, it seems the one constant in change is how hard it is to make it happen.

I know for myself and for many of my clients that a big part of deciding to make change seems to be procrastination, rumination and idea gestation, until at some point you say – enough is enough!

I have always been curious about why this happens.

So when I got talking to Sue Webster, an industry colleague of mine, and she mentioned this is a specialisation of hers, I asked her to contribute this post.

Sue runs a business helping clients and organisations navigate the process of change. Check out her website here.

Enough of me now, I’ll hand you over to Sue. [click to continue…]

Many people arrive at this site when they’ve not been successful securing an interview.

What I find after digging a little, is that people often adopt a scatter gun approach to finding their next job.

Then when that does not work they get very depressed and start to feel like a bit of a failure.

That becomes an unfortunate start to a downward spiral.

It sounds counter intuitive to say this, but narrow your focus and widen your opportunities.

Nobody likes to hire people who are vanilla in their approach.

Employers hire people who are truly aware of their strengths, who know what they want, and who have some clarity around the value they would like to add to an organisation.

There are many different ways to achieve this.

So today on this blog I’d like you to meet Natalia Walker. She has a unique approach to helping people create their future.

Natalia is Founder and Director of Inner Creative. She works with individuals and organisations to unlock their creativity to get more out of their life or business.

Over to you, Natalia. [click to continue…]
