So why not plan ahead and be strategic about the initial onboarding.

In this episode, we will talk about the future of life and work for the executive professional.The pandemic has shaken things up for the white-collar worker. Many of us no longer do daily long commutes to work, no longer eat at our desks in open-plan offices, no longer meet face to face with clients and colleagues, at least not every day.These changes may have been forecasted and many times advocated for. But it was a pandemic that pushed everything over the line.And in this episode, we celebrate two years of The Job Hunting Podcast, as well as my coaching business, including the Job Hunting Made Simple online course and coaching program, my services such as the LinkedIn Audits and the private consultations, which you can book online when you need them, as well as the Reset Your Career workshop, which is coming back on the 25th of November, that’s actually the 24th for those in the US, Canada UK, and Europe since I am based in Australia.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:Episode 31 - Me Inc: Opting for short term contract workEpisode 78 - Portfolio career: What is it, and is it for you? - featuring Jacinta WhelanEpisode 103 - How to make successful career transitions - with Donna BurrEpisode 56 - How to start your board director career - with Marion Macleod, FAICDEpisode 104 - Want to Become a Board Director?, Interview With Moana Weir (Part 1)Episode 105 - Understanding the Role of Chairperson, Interview With Moana Weir (Part 2)Episode 40 - How to Find a Job During the Pandemic, with Global Recruitment Expert Geoff Morgan AmAbout the host,&nbsp;Renata BernardeHello, I'm Renata Bernarde, the Host of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thejobhuntingpodcast.com/"...

Dedicating time to plan your career is a great long-term investment.In this podcast episode, I address one of the biggest issues I discuss with prospective coaching clients when they want to get fast results in job searching or career progression. I ask them to forget about me (i.e., the coach) for a moment. And think: are you dedicating time to this project? If not, are you willing to? Because coaching is an excellent investment, but it will only work if you incorporate into your life a new routine to sustain your career, ensure you progress towards your goals, and keep the opportunities coming to you in the long term.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:07:44 - Make a date with yourself: once a day, week, quarter - schedule it11:37 - Prepare templates to support your career.13:04 - Test, plan, and prepare: things you can do when you have time and don’t need a job or promotion.&nbsp;16:29 - Be in the moment.Links mentioned in this episode:Learn more and enroll in the Job Hunting Made Simple programEpisode 28 - How Perfectionism Can Hurt Your Career and What to Do About It, With Lynne CazalySubscribe to the newsletterAbout the host,&nbsp;Renata BernardeHello, I'm Renata Bernarde, the Host of&nbsp;The Job Hunting Podcast.

I believe that two of the most transferable skills are management and sales. Still, professionals turn their noses to both. Management has been superseded by leadership. However, it’s so much easier to explain management experience than leadership style or outcomes. As for sales, so many corporate professionals opt out of sales jobs, not understanding that, as business growth professionals, sales executives are a much needed and indispensable group than their counterparts in business support functions.

If you have been thinking of quitting your job, you may have come across articles, podcast episodes, or YouTube videos where a coach tells you that you need to leave your job right away. This makes me angry. I don't like this sales technique used by coaches to lure you into thinking that you need to quit your job and find another job and hopefully hire them for help. It is a very dangerous strategy for the job seeker, especially during a pandemic when the job market is volatile.

Are you sabotaging your career?I often wonder: are people fearful of failure, or could they fear success? Regardless, corporate professionals tend to self-sabotage their careers.

How do you keep your career healthy over time?It's important to manage your career all the time and not just when you need it. For example, if you leave until the last minute to do a career health check, it may be too late to avoid the areas you have neglected from negatively impacting your success rate. Of course, as a career coach, it's part of my service to reverse and counteract some of these issues. But if I can share some ideas with you on what to watch out for, it will help you and make coaching smoother and more productive.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:03:55 - DO: Build relationships with colleagues05:59 - DO: Engage with the social activities at work07:07 - DO: Connect with everyone and not just people with status08:39 - DON'T DO: Sarcasm10:42 - DON'T DO: Insubordination12:04 - DON'T DO: Arrogance13:05 - DON'T DO: Be insensitive about other employees and consultants14:32 - DON'T DO: Be inconsistent in your business dealings16:14 - DON'T DO: Don't take too long to get back to people17:42 - DON'T DO: Take credit for others' work18:32 - DON'T DO: Indulge in office gossipLinks mentioned in this episode:Episode 86 - Recruitment, Selection, and the Theory of Evolution: Lessons From the Natural World to Achieve Career SuccessAbout the host,&nbsp;Renata BernardeHello, I'm Renata Bernarde, the Host of&nbsp;The Job Hunting Podcast.

What can we learn from the natural world to help manage our careers?Career management is a concept that is lost to many professionals, and that's such a surprise to me. Professionals usually are great at making plans for their children’s education, buying a new house, going on vacations, and organizing special birthdays. But seldom do they plan for how they are going to afford all of the above.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:03:27 - "Recruitment and selection" and "natural selection"11:20 - Repetition14:14 - Patterns16:58 - Camouflage21:28 - Reciprocal altruismLinks mentioned in this episode:Richard Dawkins' Book: The Selfish Gene: 40th Anniversary edition.Brett Weinstein and Heather Heying's Book: A Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century: Evolution and the Challenges of Modern Life.Learn more about my coaching servicesRegister for my next group coaching programAbout the host,&nbsp;Renata BernardeHello, I'm Renata Bernarde, the Host of&nbsp;The Job Hunting Podcast.

Can nutrition play a part in your career success? Is sugar bad for your career? To answer these and many other questions, I have invited Michele Chevalley Hedge, a Nutritional Medicine Practitioner, to be my guest on the podcast. I wanted Michele in particular because she worked as a corporate executive for Microsoft before becoming an international nutrition expert. Her experience means she truly understands the needs of time-poor corporate executives who want health but not hassle.We have previously talked about caffeine and how it can boost your performance in job interviews in episode 81. This time, we take it a step further and talk about nutrition and how it can affect your career and all aspects of your life.About our guest, Michele Chevalley Hedge:Michele Chevalley Hedge was previously a marketing manager, so she truly understands the needs of time-poor corporate executives who, family or not, want health but not hassle. Health magazine editors often introduce her as “the modern-day nutritionist – the one who likes a bit of wine and coffee.” She is not Paleo Pete, or I Quit Sugar but perfectly placed somewhere in the healthy middle.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:04:58 - Two ex-pats stuck in Australia: there are worst places to be, but it still hurts08:22 - Renata explains The Job Hunting Podcast to Michelle10:55 - Michelle’s career story&nbsp;14:37 - Michelle's career transition17:53 - Studying for a career change19:36 - The truth about sugar27:36 - Renata shares her experience with food, bad nutrition, and what it did to her mental health30:26 - Michele's recommendation: when you are grieving the loss of a job34:52 - Michele's recommendation: to help you perform better39:55 - Michele's #1 tip: the best diet45:11 - How does healthy fat help you?49:42 - The importance of sleep and the quad factorLinks mentioned in this episode:Episode 54 - The Importance of Staying Healthy and Positive While Looking for a Job - With Wellbeing Expert Susan HunterEpisode 74 - The OG of career change: From Accountant to Mindfulness Consultant, plus a 10-min meditation for job-hunters - featuring Ilana KosakiewiczEpisode 47 - Well-Being, Digital Health, and Startup Jobs, With Startup...

Executive presence, in a nutshell, is the ability to project confidence and gravitas under pressure. So, how can you show executive presence in a job interview when you are anxious and nervous? That's an excellent question! So, let's unpack executive presence and its dimensions to address each one and control the situation as much as possible.But first, here is an important issue we need to address: career advancement is not just about your skills and experience and how people measure them, and there is also your image and how people perceive you as a fit for the role. And this is why executive presence is so crucial at every stage of your career: it is a precondition for success regardless of seniority, profession, and the sector you work in. As people say, we know a leader when we see them. An 'It' factor needs to be matched by your skills and experience to advance in your career. You might feel that you're ready, that you have accumulated all the necessary expertise to move up and grow in your career. But do you have the gravitas? Can you communicate well? And is your appearance also matching what is expected of a person in that position you're applying for or want to be promoted to? I may not like how the world goes around and how decisions are made. However, what I want is for my clients to get the jobs that they want. And having been in their shoes, as well as in the hiring manager's shoes, I know what plays into the minds of people selecting candidates. This is why I love to coach professionals in transition.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:09:27 - How do we show executive presence in a job interview?13:27 - Confidence and composure under fire20:42 - Decisiveness in how you answer questions21:40 - Speaking truth to power24:01 - Tone of voice and inflectionLinks mentioned in this episode:Join my mailing list and receive my free resourcesTim Fischer's top 10 tips for new MPsAbout the host,&nbsp;Renata BernardeHello, I'm Renata Bernarde, the Host of&nbsp;The Job Hunting Podcast.

10 tips on transitioning from a corporate job to being a business ownerI don't claim to be a small business consultant. I love career planning and coaching corporate professionals. However, during the coaching process, a client will eventually decide they want out from time to time! When that happens, I share how I transitioned from a corporate employee to a business owner since I have personal experience of starting a business twice. I learned a lot along the way.This is most definitely a one-off episode. So if you are curious about what I've done to grow my business, how I do it now, how it's going, the tools I use, etc., then listen to this episode because I don't plan to talk about this anymore for a long time!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:05:00 - 1.

Assessment test during the recruitment process is every professional's nightmareChances are, if you are a corporate professional, young or old, you have done assessment tests either during a recruitment process or as part of your organizational development with an organization. Alas, you may even have done it as part of your outplacement program. There are psychometric, personality, cognitive, and many other ways to assess employers and job candidates. But sitting for an assessment is not considered a pleasant experience for most professionals. What are these tests really for? Do they have a significant impact on the recruitment and selection process? And can you prepare for them in advance?For this episode of The Job Hunting Podcast, I interviewed James Brook, a pioneer and established global leader in strengths assessment and development. James is the CEO and founder of TalentPredix. We could not have asked for a better-qualified expert to discuss this topic!
