The Job Seeker
Confused about the Game of Job Hunting?
Are you confused about the game of Job Hunting?
About why you didn't get the job or even get the interview?
Why are potentially inferior people getting further than you in the process? Or getting the job you could easily do? Or do you want to move forward into a new area and do not know how?
Most likely you do not understand the rules of the game. The game of Job Hunting.
Whilst your quality is the final key to getting the job, there are several barriers between you applying for a job and that final decision. Different players at different stages. Each stage with their own rules.
Learn the rules and you can win. Do not learn the rules and you will lose and not know why and what rule was broken.
Most people are trying to win at a game without knowing the rules of the game.
What type of candidate are you?
International Students
Middle / Senior Management or Redundant
Middle / Senior Management or Redundant
International Students (and Graduates) face an a cultural disadvantage which is not well handled by most universities. Most students realise this intuitively within 6 months of arriving but find it difficult to overcome.
We have specific modules to explain to you the cultural factors so you can overcome your confusion. You will then learn what elements of your resume and your interview responses you will need to change to 'short circuit' the natural tendency of people to categorise you with all the other international students - smart but lacking what they need. And how to improve yourself quickly to get a big change in your true ability to not just get a job, but excel in an English Speaking Western culture. So you can not only work in the US, UK or Australia but excel.
It may change your entire life.
Middle / Senior Management or Redundant

Middle / Senior Management or Redundant
The journey in management to looking for a new role is a significant one.
If one is currently in a management position the choice can often define the rest of their career.
A manager who is out of work is often made to endure the frustration of the search in solitude and shame.
Is one outdated? Was one too comfortable too long and lost their value in the market? This and other questions are what recruiters and companies are asking.
In this position one's value is not so much in learning but what one can bring to the table within a few short active months. But how can one show that?
Migrant Professional
Middle / Senior Management or Redundant
Migrant Professional
The migrant professional is often at a disadvantage when in a Western English Based Country. They have committed to a new country but find they struggle to get the recognition for their skills and qualifications. Often even aiming for a lower position does not solve their problems.
There are specific cultural aspects this type of candidate must overcome to win their way. These appear in their resume, the way they interview and in essence in the way they might project themselves. It is not necessarily a case of competency, but of how one works with others and in a role.
This is often why employers and recruiters would like some 'local experience'. It can take a couple of years of assimilation before one naturally integrates. But this can be easily and often must be fast tracked if one is to make it.
Career Change
2+ Year Professional
Migrant Professional
More and more people are looking to change what they do. In it is common in western countries for people to be working in a completely different field to their original qualifications.
When you are younger, it may seem easier to change. After some years and financial commitments, we find many people on the path of quiet desperation.
But there are people who know how to get out of the trap. People often say it's important to know what they want first. But what we have found is most people don't have that answer until they learn how to open doors.
When one is just looking to escape they often don't know where to go. Show them how to open doors and their eyes and hearts open to opportunities, and they can decide with confidence which direction to take.
2+ Year Professional
2+ Year Professional
2+ Year Professional
The professional who has 2 or more years under their belt has options. But whilst there are choices, this might the most critical choice to make, as what one chooses often defines the rest of your career.
Fail to open enough doors and end up not moving up or with the wrong organisation - then the next 5-10 years could mean stagnation and lost opportunity.
Be able to pick and choose... well the world opens up. People will see you are the quality young professional and you will find companies trying to obtain your services for the rest of your career. The doors you learn to open will become the self fulfilling prophecy of your future.
Whilst your income will jump here, your success should be 'how many jobs' you can obtain. For that is the 'how much' of the rest of your career.
New Graduate
2+ Year Professional
2+ Year Professional
A new graduate is in a dilemma. Qualifications without experience. How does an employer compare?
The confusion at this level is that one's degree & performance is the determining factor in the absence of experience.
It is not.
Most graduates will be rejected offhand not because of their academic scores but other things written or not written on résumés. Things said or not said in interviews.
But the tragedy is many if not most candidates have those qualities and elements one might have been rejected on. They just didn't know how to show it.
In some ways this is the simplest person to help. But many graduates just can't crack it. Don't become the unemployed graduate.
