Many professionals use the downtime of the holiday season to search for new job openings. There are many benefits of job searching during this time of the year.

Joe Mullings was the perfect guest to discuss how to win as an outsider when applying for jobs and planning your career. We discussed how professionals can transition into MedTech, health sciences, and startups. We also discussed the growing trend of interim work and how professionals can safely transition to gig work, with Joe providing several excellent examples that I am sure will clarify the importance of keeping this alternative way of working in the pipeline, especially as we reach our 50s and 60s. And we finished our chat discussing the importance of LinkedIn for career progression, and Joe shared his interesting 3-prone strategy on how to use LinkedIn to improve reputation and reach. In his words, "think of LinkedIn as a learning platform, not a job or career platform."Read the full Blog on the WebsiteJob Hunting Made SimpleReset Your Career - Fast-Track Your Job Search in One Weekend31 Days of Action for Job SeekersFind Your Talents: Learn About Your Strengths, and Watch Your Career GrowJoin 5,000+ Readers of The Job Hunting Newsletter: Subscribe NowLear More About Renata's career coaching and coursesTimestamps to guide your listening:03:15 - How did Joe Mulling's career go from engineering to recruitment05:20 - Joe Mulling Mulling'snefit of working in the MedTech and health sciences industries07:46 - Examples of skills that are easy to transfer to MedTech and Health industries11:03 - The importance of outsiders and diversity hiring for research and innovation13:22 - How to transition from a corporate to a startup environment16:37 - Who made decisions for startups?21:22 - Joe Mulling's&nbsp;predictions of interim work30:20 - How to adMulling'sterim work and manage the risks&nbsp;33:22 - Job market trends to keep in mind for 202337:42 -&nbsp;What is different in the recruitment industry since the pandemic?39:46 -&nbsp;The 4-Day WorkWeek41:39 - Joe Mullings' LinkedIn strategy: Humming, singing, and shouting on LinkedInLinks mentioned in this episode:Find My Talents: Learn about your strengths,&nbsp;and watch your career growJoe Mullings' article on predictions for the future of workArticle about LiMullings'ting Joe Mullings' strategy.About the host,&nbsp;Renata BernardeHello, I'm Renata Bernarde, the Host of&nbsp;The Job Hunting...

Career coaches help professionals find jobs by providing career advice and guidance. Listen to this podcast episode and read the blog below to learn more about what they do, how they can help, and why you may need one!Career coaching services can significantly improve job seekers' chances of finding employment. Some popular career coaching services include resume writing, interview preparation, strengths assessment and analysis, and LinkedIn coaching. As a career coach, I offer all the services above, and they can be booked or purchased straight from my website. However, many professionals are unaware of the benefits of working with a career coach, mainly because when professionals do book coaching services, they don't tend to communicate that to their friends and colleagues. It gives others no clue that they have worked with a coach to achieve their goals. I'd say that 90% of my clients are like that. So let's discuss the benefits and why professionals opt to work with career coaches when they are looking to achieve specific goals with their job hunting or career ambitions.Read the full Blog on the WebsiteJob Hunting Made SimpleReset Your Career - Fast-Track Your Job Search in One Weekend31 Days of Action for Job SeekersFind Your Talents: Learn About Your Strengths, and Watch Your Career GrowJoin 5,000+ Readers of The Job Hunting Newsletter: Subscribe NowLear More About Renata's career coaching and coursesTimestamps to guide your listening:00:52 - Job Hunting the waiting game01:48 - Anxious and nervous04:01 - Underselling yourself09:06 - My personal investment and how it helped me12:15 - Career readiness12:48 - My LinkedIn Audit service13:34 - Qualities of a good coach14:39 - What type of coach do you need?19:02 - Group Coaching22:28 - How do you determine the return on your investment from career coaching25:07 - Making small changes and being consistentLinks mentioned in this episode:Learn more about my service: Find My TalentsMy LinkedIn Audit ServiceAbout the host,&nbsp;Renata BernardeHello, I'm Renata Bernarde, the Host of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thejobhuntingpodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"...

I recently traveled overseas and realized that working while traveling allows you to learn more about yourself, your lifestyle, and the people around you. It also improves your communication and organizational skills.It can be uncomfortable to work outside your home or work office. There can be many unexpected and stressful things that might happen, but it can also be one of the best things you can do in life!

In this episode, I discuss why it’s essential to find your niche and the common misconceptions about niching down that we need to debunk so you can get your next job faster.If you believe you are a generalist without a specific niche, unique industry expertise, sector expertise, or deep knowledge of a particular area, you're not alone. Many executives believe they are generalists, and they may even announce that on their LinkedIn profiles and resumes, which is a big mistake!&nbsp;Every recruiter who has been a guest on this podcast de-bunks this myth that it’s better to be a generalist than an expert.

Coaching is an excellent investment, but it will only work if you incorporate it into your life. With coaching comes also a new routine to a) sustain your career, b) ensure you progress towards your goals, and c) keep the opportunities coming to you in the long term.On the other hand, career coaching helps professionals understand how to optimize their time. There's more focus on the tasks needed to be done to enable your career plans.&nbsp; Because job hunting on your own can be really exhausting!&nbsp;If you don't have a career coach (yet!), fear not!&nbsp;In this episode, I provide four tips so you can find the time, use it well, and incorporate career planning into your routine.Read the full Blog on the WebsiteJob Hunting Made SimpleReset Your Career - Fast-Track Your Job Search in One Weekend31 Days of Action for Job SeekersFind Your Talents: Learn About Your Strengths, and Watch Your Career GrowJoin 5,000+ Readers of The Job Hunting Newsletter: Subscribe NowLear More About Renata's career coaching and coursesTimestamps to guide your listening:03:13 - Make a date with yourself: once a day, week, quarter - schedule it06:55 - Prepare templates to support your career.08:18 - Test, plan, and prepare: things you can do when you have time and don’t need a job or promotion.&nbsp;11:40- Be in the moment.Links mentioned in this episode:Episode 61 - How Perfectionism Can Hurt Your Career and What to Do About It, with Lynne CazalyAbout the host,&nbsp;Renata BernardeHello, I'm Renata Bernarde, the Host of&nbsp;The Job Hunting Podcast.

I am always giving my clients tips on how to work online. Here are the key complaints I hear from clients and friends:It's hard to connect with peopleIt's hard to keep productiveIt's lonely, and&nbsp;There's a tendency to work too muchBut, working online is now the main aspect of white-collar working life. Many office workers who, pre-pandemic, had to commute to work now can work remotely. Even if they go back to the office, you may find it empty, and most of the work you do is still in front of the computer anyway. So for transitional office-based companies, virtual companies, working for yourself, or job hunting, I hope you will find these tips helpful.Read the full Blog on the WebsiteJob Hunting Made SimpleReset Your Career - Fast-Track Your Job Search in One Weekend31 Days of Action for Job SeekersFind Your Talents: Learn About Your Strengths, and Watch Your Career GrowJoin 5,000+ Readers of The Job Hunting Newsletter: Subscribe NowLear More About Renata's career coaching and coursesTimestamps to guide your listening:7:43 - Be ruthless with emails12:13 - GIFs and Emojis are fine14:31 - Videos and voice messages are your friend16:18 - Look good on video20:24 - Create fun traditions and opportunities working online21:37 - Have at least two monitors22:33 - Find time during the week to have real coffee with a colleague or a walking meeting.Links mentioned in this episode:My group coaching program - register your interest for the next intake!About the host,&nbsp;Renata BernardeHello, I'm Renata Bernarde, the Host of&nbsp;The Job Hunting Podcast.

I get asked a lot by my clients what it's like to work for myself. We also discuss this option when working on the client's future goals and career plans. So, in this episode, I wanted to share with you my experience working for myself since 2019, compared with my previous experience being an employee from 2002 until the end of 2018.Before 2002, I also had my own business from 1993 until 2000 and took a year to study in 2001. You can learn more about my career story by&nbsp;watching or listening to episode number 62&nbsp;of the Job Hunting Podcast.

Engaging a career coach&nbsp;is considered by many professionals a difficult to make. They can't be sure of the results, and the investment is substantial, especially if you're between jobs and&nbsp;not earning a paycheck.&nbsp;It seems counterintuitive to spend money at the precise time when you need to be saving it.For me, working with a&nbsp;coach was always a no-brainer. I knew what I didn't know, and I was hungry to advance faster in my career. At every opportunity, I signed up, enrolled, and paid for either professional development or career development throughout my corporate career.Now, I am a coach.&nbsp;I've developed services and coaching programs&nbsp;that I believe are within reach of my target audience: professionals working in the corporate, public, or nonprofit sectors who want to advance in their careers with confidence and&nbsp;knowledge of how promotion and job hunting work.&nbsp;Read the full Blog on the WebsiteJob Hunting Made SimpleReset Your Career - Fast-Track Your Job Search in One Weekend31 Days of Action for Job SeekersFind Your Talents: Learn About Your Strengths, and Watch Your Career GrowJoin 5,000+ Readers of The Job Hunting Newsletter: Subscribe NowLear More About Renata's career coaching and coursesLinks mentioned in this episode:Click here to learn more about my career services on my websiteSign up for my weekly newsletter for job hunters and career enthusiastsLearn more about my group coaching and online course, Job Hunting Made SimpleFree resource - Optimized Job Search Schedule: Free Workbook and Masterclass to start a successful job search routine.Want to work with me?

I’ve been thinking of doing an episode about sabbatical for a long time. I tried inviting guests, but no one felt comfortable coming out publicly to talk about their experience. This made me even more interested in the whole concept of what these professionals were calling a sabbatical, what it actually was, and why it's still a taboo to take time off from a long career to do whatever else one wants to do or just recover from being laid off and burned out.Then, last month LinkedIn changed its profile settings recently to allow professionals to identify a career break during their work experience. And in the past couple of weeks, a few prominent Australians quit their jobs. They informed that they were resigning and planning to go on a career break: The Premier of Tasmania, the CEO of the Australian Football League. And last week, a former guest of The Job Hunting Podcast and the CEO of Koko Black, Nicolas Georges. In his announcement, Peter Gutwein, former Premier of Tasmania, said that there was "nothing left in the tank."Their message was clear: The past couple of years have taken a toll.&nbsp;Undoubtedly, more professionals are feeling burned out and dreaming about taking a break.

It is now easier than ever before to work harder, for longer hours, every day, from anywhere, and at any time. We check our phones constantly. We answer calls when we are driving, walking, cooking. Keeping up with work is a “rat race” and a real trap. We work so hard, and yet we lose focus of our dreams and our values. It’s too easy to stay locked into hard work mode. Hard work is praised in almost every culture. It is also how we introduce ourselves to others. "How have you been?". "Super busy, working a lot, but fine!" It’s how we start conversations and know we believe that we add value to the world. It’s through hard work.&nbsp;But is it a solution to your career problems? I don't think it is.Listen to this episode of The Job Hunting podcast and find out a few of my strategies to get you out of the "rat race" and moving forward in your career.&nbsp;Read the full Blog on the WebsiteJob Hunting Made SimpleReset Your Career - Fast-Track Your Job Search in One Weekend31 Days of Action for Job SeekersFind Your Talents: Learn About Your Strengths, and Watch Your Career GrowJoin 5,000+ Readers of The Job Hunting Newsletter: Subscribe NowLear More About Renata's career coaching and coursesTimestamps to guide your listening:[00:45] Stop being busy all the time.[07:24] Tip Number 1: Change your mindset.[08:04] Tip Number 2: Carve out time to reset.[09:05] Tip Number 3: Create systems.[11:33] Tip Number 4: Learn to delegate.[13:38] Tip Number 5: Learn to let go.&nbsp;Links mentioned in this episode:&nbsp;My websiteSign up for my newsletterLearn more about my group coaching: Job Hunting Made SimpleFree resource - Optimized Job Search ScheduleWant to work with me?

I have always been fascinated by professionals that recover from career setbacks and achieve great things. Not just executives but also athletes, artists, politicians, etc. There is a great deal of effort into their recovery, from working on their mental health, remaining on course towards their goals, and ensuring they have the best team to provide the proper support and advice. I often wonder how they found the strength and wisdom to turn things around.About Sacha Koffman:Sacha Koffman is an executive with over twenty-five years of commercial experience.

I have seen many amazing professionals&nbsp;give up on their job search for months or even years, because of what they perceived was a rejection, be it a lackluster reception of their interest in being promoted, or a job they applied for and didn't get. I spoke recently to someone who took two years to recover from a rejection from a job she applied for and believed it was a dream job for her. In fact, she was indeed a great fit for the role and went all the way to the final interview stage. But at best her chance was 50%, assuming there was another excellent candidate competing for the position.There is no reason to feel bad about missing out on a job opportunity.
