Elevate Career Services ’s Post

The holiday season is a time for reflection and renewal. As we wind down from the year, why not take a moment to reflect on your career journey? Think about your achievements, challenges, and aspirations. What are you hoping to achieve in the coming year? This quiet time offers a perfect opportunity to refresh your resume, LinkedIn profile, or even consider a career change. Elevate Career Services can help you strategise and polish your professional identity for a powerful start to 2024! #careerdevelopment #newyearnewgoals #elevatecareerservices

Five things I need you to know if you're going to make a career change. This is number four: Talk to people. Seek out people who have changed careers and talk to them about how they did it, even if they are in a different field than you. Getting out and talking to people is the best way to get information and advice, but you'll have to be prepared to ask why they think what they think and filter out bad advice. If you would like more direction on how to talk to people as part of the strategy, you can get my masterclass on "How to make a career pivot" for free. I'm sending that out to my email list this week, so sign up if you want to have access: http://eepurl.com/hSgk8n #careergrowth #careeradvice #careercoach #networking #careerpivot

Dear #inkedIncommunity, Let's support each other. What career advice would you give to someone in their 20s and someone in their 30s? I’ll go first… Here’s my unsolicited career advice: ✨You are your own brand ✨Always get it in writing (the good and the bad). ✨Keep a running log of your achievements . ✨Never stop learning/growing (stay relevant) ✨ Keep your network warm. ✨ Don’t take it personally, remember work is a business transaction. ✨ How you look will impact how you feel. Get a solid work wardrobe. ✨Go after the position, even if you don’t “feel” qualified. ✨ Always do career gap analysis at least annually ✨Keep your personal life private at work. You don't have to share too much and don't be afraid to humanize yourself ✨Don't be afraid to share your career goals, don't shrink yourself or your ambitions. #careers #careercoach #jobs #careeradvice #linkedincommunity #linkedin #30dayslinkedinchallengewithtomiwa

To take a step forward, you need to take a step back! In the poll yesterday, several people voted that their biggest challenge was lack of career direction. In this short video from the 14 Day Career Transformation Challenge, I focus on self-reflection to help you better understand what your ideal role and company is. I talk about: 🏋♂️ uncovering your strengths and weaknesses 💡 understanding what your core values are and what is important to you 😀 analysing your likes and dislikes over the course of your career In the video, I mention a workbook. If you would like this workbook, please comment WORKBOOK and I will send it to you. Tomorrow, I will share the follow up video about career clarity which will help you have clearer career direction. If you would like to supercharge your career in 2024, then join one of my Live Sessions over the next couple of weeks.

Job Search Tip# 2 - Consisting of tips for the "seasoned" job seeker, of which I now officially reside and wear proudly 😊 I work a lot with people at the later stages of their careers who are transitioning into other opportunities, changing careers, contemplating retirement, working during retirement, pursuing self-employment and a host of other situations. The common theme I hear the most is fear of ageism in their job search/situation change. I wish I could say that ageism isn't a thing, but it is. The best you can do is to advocate for yourself and come at things with your arms wrapped firmly around all of the best practices, so that you can increase the chances of having several opportunities to choose from. You have worked hard, built credibility, and you deserve it! Here are some tips: ➡️In your marketing document (your resume) ALWAYS focus on the last 10-15 years and make sure you are hitting on the right keywords and accomplishments for impact. ➡️Remove years from graduation and remove months from employment dates. (Only use years when listing your experiences) ➡️Add latest workspace technologies and brush up on them. Think Google Workspace, Zoom, Slack etc. ➡️Keep up with industry happenings and join a relevant professional association. Find ways to keep your skills sharp. ➡️Update your email, if you have @ aol.com, time for a new email address ➡️ Make sure you have your "branding" down, practice your pitch, and make sure it sounds more like an exciting invitation to YOU versus a history lesson Hope these tips are useful. Please do repost and like if you find the info helpful. Thanks! #resumetips #careercoach #jobseekers #linkedin #ageism

The job search process can be overwhelming, especially when you're not sure where to start or how to showcase your skills in a brief application. But you're not alone! Many people are on the same journey. That's why I've decided to journal here on LinkedIn. I hope to connect with even more folks, offer a sounding board of help and reassurance, and share ideas and positivity. #jobsearch #jobsearchstrategies #careeradvancement #networking #personalgrowth #personalbrand #professionaldevelopment #togetherwemakeithappen
