Thank you to everyone who has sent me questions by messaging me on social media, emails, or asking them when I\u2019m invited to speak or present at webinars. It\u2019s very important to me to receive these questions and know what issues are on your mind. This way, I can address them via the Q&A episodes and develop future episodes dedicated to the most common concerns you have.\n \nTimestamps:\n03:11 - Salary range: I\u2019m often asked to nominate an expected salary in online applications, and it\u2019s a mandatory question! Any tips for answering?\n06:47 - No promotion: I am doing my job very well, and management likes to keep me where I am. I am stuck in the same position for the last ten years. Does it look like I am missing a strategy on how to communicate with top management?\n10:02 - Contract to permanent: I\u2019m in a part-time contract role. My director wants my role to be permanent. It needs to be reviewed by the CEO for approval. I\u2019m not sure how I would continue if it were refused. \n14:54 - Moving from small to big company: What advice would you give someone who wants to move from a small company to a top tier company? It seems like the big four consulting firms only look for people who worked for the big four.\n18:56 - Starting a new role: I recently started a new role. Should I plan for my next move now?\n22:45 - Maternity leave: I have just returned from maternity leave and feel like I no longer enjoy my current role. What advice would you give in helping me find a new role?\n27:00 - Help with LinkedIn and resume: Can you advise me on how to do a better resume and LinkedIn? And can I send you my resume?\n31:12 - Job search during the holidays: What is your advice regarding the holiday season and job hunting? Is there any point in job hunting in December and early January? \n \nLinks mentioned in this episode:\nDo you want to hear an episode with previous questions? 51.

I developed my thesis and gave a broad brush on this podcast, which will already be very helpful. But if you are serious about your job search and need to find a new job fast, I recommend that you register. Ideally, you would want to attend the training live to ask questions and interact with me. But even if the dates and times don't suit you, registering you at least guarantees to get the recordings of the live training sessions. The two sessions are happening from 11 am to 12 pm Melbourne time (AEDT) on the 2nd and 3rd of December 2020.\n \nAbout your host:\nHello, I'm Renata Bernarde, the Host of The Job Hunting Podcast. I'm also an executive coach, job hunting expert, and career strategist. I teach corporate, non-profit, and public professionals the steps and frameworks to help them find great jobs, change, and advance their careers with confidence and less stress. \nSubscribe to the weekly newsletter.\nA free resource for job hunters: The Optimized Job Search S","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/df75a77a-f4a6-4bd1-a11e-5156c2ed17ee/pZMMq0EjIS6Tn8VLyJunljx7.jpg"}
