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

  • Manage negative self-talk and irrational thinking
  • Become more responsive instead of reactive
  • Increase resilience
  • Become less preoccupied with concerns

SUMMARY

This 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

  • An understanding of how online applications are processed by screening software is essential to know so your clients are not 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 does not 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.

While working with the Department of Employment as Director of the Learning Centre Damien managed development of the training platform, training strategies and materials to ensure the 20,000+ professionals engaged in the delivery of Australian employment services received training to undertake their role. As a Senior Policy Advisor with NESA, Damien continues to support member organisations navigate contract requirements, with a strong focus on IT and cyber security, as well as continuing to develop front line practice as a regular workshop presenter for NESA. 

Damien is an excellent communicator, who enjoys interacting and sharing his system expertise with his audience; and he has a Bachelor of Economics from Adelaide University, as well as Diplomas in Training and Assessment, and Project Management. He’s also a qualified Teacher of English to Speakers of Other Languages.
