Understand How Online Applications And Recruitment Databases Are Screening Out Your Job Seekers' Resumes

Wednesday 23 May 2018  |  2:00pm AEST (1:30pm SA & NT and 12noon WA)

Target Group

Designed for Business Development staff, Managers/team leaders, Employment Consultants and frontline staff

Summary

Have you ever pulled together a great job application, flicked it off, waited, waited and waited, and received no reply ? These days many organisations use HR Software to screen out your documents based on formatting, lack of key words and other things that you may not be aware of.

This topic is particularly relevant to those consultants who are assisting job seekers with online applications. The shift from human eyes to computer software analysing applications has changed the way successful resumes are formatted. This webinar will provide an understanding of those changes and how they are impacting on your job seekers’ success. It will make you look at your resume templates in a whole new light.

Please note that the session has been updated recently and attendees will now receive a page of important links.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

  • An understanding of how online applications are processed by screening software – essential to know so your clients aren’t screened out on the first pass
  • The importance of key words in your job seeker’s application – and matching these to the advertisement or industry that they are applying for
  • Formatting and making things pretty – why this doesn’t work with online applications
  • Keeping it simple – how irrelevant or complex information on your online resume or application can be hurting your client’s chances of ending up on the ‘yes’ list

Hard Conversations and the Relationship-Building Process

Monday 13 August 2018    |    2pm AEST (1:30pm in SA & NT and 12 noon in WA)

Target Group

All frontline staff & site managers

Summary

Hard or confrontational conversations are an inevitable part of the job of a front line employment services consultant, and are a critical moment in the relationship-building process. Getting these exchanges right is very important. Getting them wrong is unfortunately very easy.

Join NESA’s Policy and Communications Officer,  Dr. Colin Harrison, as he explores the key issues underlying effective verbal communication in general, and in confrontational situations in particular. 

 Understanding these things will position you better to deal with hard conversations in a way that allows you to remain calm and focussed. You should come away with strategies to put into place to improve your communicative behaviour, which will have a positive effect on your professional environment, your own peace of mind, and your effectiveness as a front line consultant.

we will explore

  • How meaning works (you might be surprised!)
  • Communicative styles and their utility
  • The fight or flight response and how to manage it
  • The importance of altercentrism
  • Speaking with your ears (active listening strategies)
