Everything you think you know about making change might be wrong. Unpacking the wonder technique
The wonder technique.....the name itself sounds great, doesn't it? It alone takes some of the anxiety out of making change. So, what if making a career (or life) change was exciting, not fear-inducing? This is what we're talking about today on #CareerCarePackage #LinkedInLive. The tricky thing about making change is the fear of change is usually buried. That means often we don't realise that our reactions or in-actions are fear-based. We're really terrific at rationalising these things. You might say things like "I'm not qualified", "I'm not ready", "I'm not smart at that", or point out why others need to change, not you. Today we're chatting to David Hennessey The WONDER Technique - who is the developer of the wonder technique, a holistic approach to help you make life changes.

We work every day in the gig economy. This is what we know about building a powerful personal brand.
As much as we want to deny it, the "gig" economy is here. Covid-19 has accelerated changes we've already seen in the market - automation, casualisation, part-time work, and the like. You and I are not competing in Australia anymore. Our competition could be on Upwork, LinkedIn, Freelancer, and a myriad of other similar sites. So how do you stand out, in a world where talent seems cheap and you're easily seen as a commodity - and what does personal "branding" mean in this world anyway? On our next #CareerCarePackage #LinkedInLive, we're talking to Anand Tamboli. Anand is a speaker, author, advisor on AI and has just released a book - You 3.0: A powerful strategy to achieve professional goals with self-discovery and personal branding.

How to beat the applicant terrorising system! (ATS)....
The majority of large employers and recruitment consultants use an ATS. They use them to screen the deluge of applicants - using an algorithm dividing strong applicants from the weak. Some experts assert that over 75% resumes never actually hit human eyes. This is what we're discussing today with career coach and recruiter Olga Barrett. Here's what we're covering: - What is an applicant tracking system? - Why do employers use them? - How do applicant tracking systems work? - How can you tell if a recruiter/employer is using an ATS? - Can you set your resume up to beat the bots? - Do you really need to re-write your resume every time you apply for a job? - What happens when you include tables, images and fancy fonts on your resume?

Overcoming imposter syndrome so you can play bigger game!
Imposter Syndrome is an insidious syndrome. Why insidious I hear you ask? a) Because we often don't know we have it. b) Because without knowing we have it - having it stops us from trying stuff. c) It's a daily battle for many of us even if we know we have it, to get over it. d) When we realise we suffer from it, it becomes obvious how many opportunities we've talked ourselves out of, or inadvertently, not even aimed towards. e) That can lead to a whole new round of anxiety. So today we're talking to Chandell Labbozzetta Chandell is the CoFounder of Life Puzzle, and helps managers become vibrant, successful and fulfilled.
