25.01.2022 Perfect weather. No rain in sight. Had a lovely chat to taxi man on way to markets who told me his son needs a job. Good sign. Should have sold him a book.

23.01.2022 Earlier in the week I caught up with my good friends and neighbours, M and H. H the week before had been on a high, having been 'head hunted'. (This is when a recruiter or employer call you out of the blue, for a job that you haven't applied for.) H told the recruiter he might be interested. After going for an interview, he was told (via the recruiter on a phone call) that he had the job. He was then asked to supply referees - which he promptly did. A few days later, after h...e hadn't heard from the recruiter, he chased them. This is when he was told that the employer had decided to go with someone else. H, as to be expected, felt extremely let down. We discussed options but all came to the conclusion that there was nothing he could do about it, because he didn't have the offer in writing. The moral of the story? Get everything (i.e. money, title, job duties and offer) in writing before you commit to a job. Even if it's just an email - this is a legal document, which people have to stick to. I personally don't even share my referees with anyone, unless they have requested names after and interview...and after I've received written confirmation that they want to offer me the job.

20.01.2022 A big thankyou to all of the people who bought my book today. But a bigger thankyou and shout out to all of the people who provided support with messages...calls...and drop ins.

16.01.2022 Congratulations to The Big Issue who this week celebrate 20 years of publication. Fifty per cent of every magazine sold goes to the homeless or disadvantaged person who is selling it. The Big Issue provides its sellers with employment skills, self empowerment and a way out of poverty.

15.01.2022 The Australian Federal Budget was released last night. It includes what appears to be some good news for job seekers. http://www.abc.net.au///budget-2016-winners-losers/7338448

14.01.2022 Happy Lunar New Year to you and your loved ones. I hope the year of the rooster brings you good fortune (aka abundance) in every part of your life.

14.01.2022 When you're looking for work, it's important to be clear about what you want. That way, you're clearer about what jobs to apply for and you can also tell employers and recruiters, in your interviews. Before I start hunting for jobs I write a list which outlines:... - what type of role / job title I'm after - how much I want to be paid - the location / area I want to work in (i.e. suburbs versus the city) - what hours I want to work - the type of employer I'd like to work for - the industries I'm interested in (i.e. banking, charity, government etc) I've found that when I'm clearer on what I want, the right job comes to me faster. I hope this helps. Happy hunting. x

13.01.2022 Fun day. Very successful. Lots of wonderful customers and conversations.

13.01.2022 Thank you for buying my book Moira.

13.01.2022 Many people have recently become unemployed, due to circumstances out of our control. Here are some job seeking tips to keep you (or someone you know) motivated.

12.01.2022 Last night i wrote a resume for a 19 year old. I'd forgotten how challenging it is to make yourself sound impressive to potential employers when you are young and need experience. Thankfully a lot of good organisations are willing to give young people a chance.

11.01.2022 To market, to market. I'm at the kirribilli markets tomorrow. Pop in and say hi if you are in the vicinity.

11.01.2022 Want to protect jobs in Australia? Its pretty simple. Support Australian owned companies that have a commitment to keeping jobs here.

11.01.2022 Make your resume work for you. Here are some tips from SEEK - one of the largest online job listing sites in Australia.

09.01.2022 Celebrate you being you. Xo

09.01.2022 I figure that someone needs to hear this message right now...because situations for all of us are challenging. So I'll repeat this message. Don't give up! Keep looking and applying for work. Ask friends and family too, in case they have ideas. Then apply, apply, apply.... Because job seeking is a numbers game. The more jobs you apply for, the more chances you have of getting an interview and then a job offer. I know things are super tricky right now, but please don't buy into the negativity you hear on the news, via your phone or friends / family. Please...don't give up. And if you need to (you have my permission) play: 'Don't give up' by Kate Bush. Such a great song and good reminder too. x

07.01.2022 Volunteering is a great way to get skills ( to make you more employable ) while helping a good cause.

07.01.2022 Getting ready for my market store tomorrow. Pop in if you are nearby. Kirribilli markets from 8.30 till 3pm.

06.01.2022 A reminder for us all...especially when looking for work...

05.01.2022 Hanging out with my super sales person ( Michelle) at Kirribilli markets. Beautiful setti g.

02.01.2022 I’ve been missing in action from social media (and this site in particular) for quite a while because I lost faith in my purpose and doubted that anyone needed employment skills. The negative voice in my said was saying ‘everyone knows this stuff’. But this thing that we call COVOID-19 has had worldwide impacts and reminded me that many people need what I take for granted - back to basics / 101 employment seeking skills. So from here on, I’m going to try harder to post mor...e regularly. This is not my natural tendency I’m a bit of an introvert. However it’s my hope in doing so that you will get helpful tips and reminders about what you can be doing to improve your situation or help someone who is struggling right now. Since I wrote the first version of my book (over 15 years ago), I’ve gone on to work in many more professions and industries. For each of these jobs I’ve needed to write applications and cover letters, redo my resume, talk to recruiters, go for interviews and hone my ‘employme’ skillset. These situations have helped expand my skill base and knowledge about how to get jobs. I’m looking forward to sharing what I know in the hope that it will help you or someone you care about. I encourage you to share my posts with anyone who might benefit.

01.01.2022 Mental health reminder. Looking for work can be tiring. Added to this, there's a lot going on in the world that we can't control. All of these things combined can create a feeling of being overwhelmed. So this is a gentle reminder. Be kind to self and take time (at least 10 minutes) to just 'be'. Sit quietly, by yourself. Put the phone away. Allow yourself time to let the thoughts come and go as a you breathe deeply. Allow yourself time to recharge. ... Nature helps me reconnect. My favourite thing at the moment is to watch the clouds drifting by. So peaceful. I encourage you to find what works for you. x
