Why you need to keep your Resume or CV
up to date during employment upheaval
Change is neither good nor bad, it just is. Until we are forced to make them due to job losses
that is. In the current Melbourne job market there have been significant changes of late,
jobs that were done in house have been outsourced; if your job can be done from home it can
be probably be done overseas & cheaper, and while some Melbourne jobs have made a return,
some have not. and may never come back. While this time of change may be stressful,
it can be a good time to look at your career to date and Melbourne Resume or CV in
a new light, so when new opportunities come up - you are ready.
Career Plans and Your Melbourne Resume or CV: Why change can be a good thing
It's not easy getting the push, or quitting a job because you've had enough - BUT it can be a great motivator to do things differently next time.
How to handle the emotional side of career changes in Melbourne
Change is neither good nor bad, it just is. Until we are forced to make them due to job losses, and when that happens the last thing we want to think about is updating our Melbourne Resume or CV, when really it should be one of the first.
It’s not easy being out of work in Melbourne. There is so much uncertainty at the moment. Most of us have had to "work from home", some of us have had no opportunity to work anywhere because of restrictions, yet in spite of all this, we are a remarkably resilient lot.
We have had a lot of time to think about what's next here in Melbourne. The what's next may just be a stepping stone, but before you rush into any job, take some time and look at your career to date, and I mean really look at your Melbourne Resume or CV - was there progression, regression or enough sideways moves to make it look like a Zumba class? Are you still happy with your chosen career? Or is now a good time to think about something else entirely? You may not have the means to start that Melbourne business, but you can make some outline plans as you decide what to do, or do you want to go back "to study" to gain the qualifications to take you down an entirely different path? For me it was the chance to totally re-evaluate my career. I've had 3 very distinct careers to date, but the one that has transcended all of them has been my writing. What about you? What is your common denominator?
Career plans: Taking stock of your Melbourne Resume or CV
Make a list of your accomplishments. List them all, the small things, the huge ground breaking things. These are key indicators of your strengths, which can be used to determine which role to take or which career path you should be on. Sometimes we need a little reminder that we have achieved all of this - to understand our next steps.
In an ideal world, what role would you like, and who would you like to work for? Go to their website and see if there's anything going at the moment. With your list of achievements, you can demonstrate your strengths in your Melbourne Resume or CV and cover letter, and can apply for any jobs that appeal to you. Think beyond the traditional and go for it.
Resumes & Career Changes in Melbourne
Look for the positives. If recent years have taught us anything here in Melbourne - it is this - we can cope with anything, and we have - more than once.
It has been an emotional roller coaster and I am the first to admit having been made redundant once or twice, staying positive can be hard. But you should try to remain positive about where you currently are and what you are doing at this time. Easier said than done, for a long time I was annoyed - how dare they do that to me, to eventually - I am really glad I don't have to go back there. How you frame it can be the biggest difference.
Walking and other forms of exercise are known emotional and physical health boosters. You may not want to, and I know from personal experience that starting can be the hardest part, but give it a go.
Melbourne Resumes or CVs and rejection letters: Do not take them personally
Winning at the Melbourne job search game is all about the numbers. While some potential employers may acknowledge your application and advise you are not successful, others may not.
Did you get to interview? If you weren't successful at landing that job, you are entitled to ask for feedback. With a lot more people looking for work here in Victoria it stands to reason that we will not be successful every time, but don't get disheartened by the thanks but no thanks letters, use them as a chance to make some changes for the next job application you send in.
If you didn't get to the interview this time remember there will be any number of reasons as to why you didn’t receive an invitation to the interview. There may have been a company re-shuffle, or an internal candidate was in line for the job all along. With all Melbourne government jobs you should call them to find out if the job is a real one, or if they had to advertise and someone is already in the role.
LinkedIn: Use your Network
Your network can help you find work in Melbourne
Change your status to "Open to Work", reach out to recruiters and people you have worked with in the past. Do not keep your job status a secret.
Resumes or CVs: Close out your last job professionally
Melbourne is a relatively small place and social media is not the place to moan about your circumstances regardless of what happened.
Try not to be negative about your previous employer or the people you worked with, especially on Social Media - Melbourne is a relatively small place, and most industries are aware of the big players and can always find out. When you are putting your next job application together, write in a positive manner, as you may never know who you will work with in the future. Interestingly, one place I worked, the CFO was the nephew of a gentleman I had worked closely with - BACK IN ENGLAND. Talk about 6 degrees of separation.
