Summary

Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention in the present moment and doing it with non-judgment. Discover Mindfulness strategies that will help you be more effective in your life and at work. Learn about how you can introduce these techniques with your clients and colleagues.

“Regulating the mind is like driving a car and constantly having to shift gears to ever-changing traffic conditions. Mindfulness teaches you to be aware of what mental gear you are in and gives you the skills to disengage and engage when you choose. The practice of mindfulness sharpens your focus so you can do something about your mind being constantly distracted and mentally hijacked.” (Marianne Vicelich, Author & Entrepreneur)

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

  • What are the benefits of mindfulness practices
  • Experience a 5-minute guided mindfulness session
  • Simple and effective techniques that will help you more productive at work (and in life)

Expected outcomes

  • Become more responsive instead of reactive
  • Increase resilience
  • Become less preoccupied with concerns

Redesign Your Client Resumes and Avoid Online Applications Screening Them OUT

Wednesday 15 July 2020

2pm AEST (1:30pm SA & NT and 12 noon WA)

Target Group

Front Line staff…..

Summary

It is ideal for frontline staff who are advising clients on the application process and what they need to do to avoid being rejected by online application / recruitment databases / HR Software.


Have you and your client 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 documents based on formatting, lack of key words and other things that you may not be aware of.

The change from human eyes reviewing the initial application to computer software analysing the application has changed the way successful applications are formatted. This webinar will provide an understanding of those changes and how they are impacting on your clients success.

It will make you look at addressing criteria and your resume templates in a whole new light.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT to hear about

  • 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. Fonts to use, and fonts not to use!
  • 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
  • Resume – the do’s and the don’ts, how to address gaps in employment history and how to adapt your resume to specific job applications.
  • The common mistakes that blocks resumes from getting through.

Summary

In this webinar Matt Luttrell will discuss reverse marketing strategies to place priority jobactive and DES job seekers into the hidden job market. The focus is on making contact with specific employers. It will explore getting the job seeker and employment services practitioners ready to make a reverse marketing call, and how to manage the call including handling objections.

The focus of this webinar is not on vacancy development for job matching. So what can you expect? It will cover becoming “one” with the employer so that we understand the fit with the employee and the new opportunity that presents. Reverse marketing isn’t all about providers getting a placement, it’s much bigger than that! The placement is the result – the real key is understanding what the employer is looking for and matching a strong candidate to an opportunity

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

  • Preparation is key
  • Be in a positive mindset
  • What approaches have the best results
  • What to look for, what to listen for
  • What is the best way to respond to objections
