Your Career Journey
Insider perspective - What's happening in the market at the moment? With Lucy Bolan
In a slightly different episode this week, I’m joined by specialist Marketing Recruiter Lucy Bolan from New Chapter Talent to talk about what’s happening in the market at the moment.
Lucy has been in Recruitment for almost twenty years, with all bar two of those in the Melbourne market. She also recently started her own business earlier this year, called New Chapter Talent.
In news that will surprise no one, it’s still very much an employers’ market at the moment, particularly at the more senior end. Lucy talks about how competitive it is for those types of roles, and how the number of applicants leads some employers to be spoilt for choice, meaning very slow processes, and in some cases an ability to make decisions.
We talk about how to deal with redundancy and Lucy gives some great advice on what to do next if you find yourself in that situation, including the importance of having a solid plan.
About how to stand out in a crowded market place, the importance of networking and how to leverage specialist recruiters effectively. Tips on what to include and not include in your CV, and how to differentiate yourself from other candidates with similar experience.
