Understand how online applications and recruitment databases are screening OUT your job seekers resumes

Tuesday 10 March 2020

3pm AEDT (2:30pm in SA, 2pm in QLD, 1:30pm in NT and 12 noon in WA)

Target Group

Frontline staff

Summary

Have you ever pulled together a great job application, flicked it off, waited, waited and waited, and received no reply? Will 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.

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 job seekers success. It will make you look at your resume templates in a whole new light.

Please note that the content is always being updated and attendees will receive a list 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. 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

Target Group

Summary

Your time with each client is limited and once they leave, you often need to jump to the next task/appointment/urgent message. So it is important that as consultants you get the most out of the time that you do have with your clients.

This session will discuss how you can be effective with your hour, how you and your clients can embrace a “do it now” approach and how your activities can lead to outcomes.

The session will focus on prior preparation, the actual meeting/appointment, action planning and how to follow up effectively. It will look at how you can manage your time during your appointments, and for the rest of your day, to ensure that you are getting the most from your time.

Includes: lots of tips to change how you use your time efficiently

Summary

How to encourage job seeker compliance, without resorting to demerits

The best outcomes for job seekers result from a strong connection with their employment consultant: from mutual respect, honesty and trust. But such relationships can be difficult to establish, unless the consultant knows how to use language to be assertive, rather than aggressive, and supportive rather than passive.

Assertiveness is a skill that comes naturally to only a few people: most of us have to learn it.

Join Dr. Colin Harrison as he explores the high ground between passivity and aggression, and how to get there through attention to crucial communication skills.

Summary

Asking the right questions not only allows you to discover your clients’ needs and how you can service them, but shows professionalism and builds trust.

  • The tried, trusted & proven “funnelling technique”

The webinar will provide attendees with practical ideas to build their confidence and skills and to improve their success rates.
