Workshop Kerjaya. Nak join ke?

Kawan-kawan

Baru-baru ni ada beberapa client baru saya merungut hantar profile kat syarikat, tapi respond pun takde. Jadi saya pun mintaklah copy cover letter dan/atau cover email, dan juga salinan resume untuk saya tengok…

Pada pendapat saya, ada beberapa kemusykilan yang saya nampak:

1) cover letter/cover email tak padu

2) English TERUK GILER. Spelling nama jawatan pun ada salah (ni sebab tak detail oriented, kerja orang nak cepat)

3) resume masih old skool, guna font dan layout yang kurang menarik. 4) masih lagi guna konsep “hantar lepas tu kita doa banyak-banyak”

5) LI profile kata ada, tapi sebenarnya ada buat syarat ajer…

Problem kan? Kalau ada jalan nak tangani ni semua, nak ke? 4 jam jer investment time you. Kalau tak berusaha, tak tau kan? tapi kena lah berusaha dapat ilmu yang betul.

Nak ke?

Komen “nak” kat bawah.

Saya yang berusaha

5 Tips Menggunakan LinkedIn Dengan Lebih Berkesan

So, kita dah register dengan LinkedIn. Tengok menunya macam ok lah, senang nak navigate.

Tapi, macam mana nak gunakan LinkedIn untuk menulis idea-idea kita? Kat bawah ni, saya tuliskan 5 tips untuk LinkedIn newbie:

  1. Sebelum kita request connection, karang sedikit ayat mengapa kita nak connect dengan orang tu. Contohnya – “Dear Hanie, I enjoyed reading your post on XYZ topic. May I request to connect with you?”
  2. Selepas dah connect tu, adab yang baik ialah untuk hantar ucapan terima kasih. Tak payah panjang berjela, “Thanks for approving the request to connect” sudah memadai. Tak ambik masa yang lama, kan?
  3. Sila check inbox korang tu. Jangan tak buka!
  4. Engage with the conversation – jangan jadi silent reader. Takde orang tau korang exist kalau senyap belakang tiang!
  5. Last sekali – have fun. Tulis idea-idea baru yang korang observe dan passionate about.

 

Senang kan?

Mental Health

Do you know that 1 in every 3 adults in Malaysia is struggling with mental health? *

Imagine there are 3 of you sitting in a room. The likeliest that one of YOU is suffering from this condition is so real that it is no longer a joke.

Mental health, just like it’s nasty friend, The Big C, robs you of time, family, productivity, and self.

Why am I on this topic today?  Interestingly, in my daily dealings with my clients who are looking for career management services, I met so many who need that extra support. To be exact, 5 of them within the past 2 months. Conditions like this, go unnoticed, and when it comes, it might be too late.

Due to experience, I may have picked up the signs and red flags, and have to make sure they are being supported medically to be productive again. Sometimes, I have to decline a job so the client can get better first. Without that support, there is only so much that a career coaching can do.

I am now looking to have a conversation with potential collaborators on mental wellness, preferably in the non profit or governmental space. DM me.

To your career success

3 phases of job search

That’s the total job search phases one will go through, #Haniesays

1) Phase 1, ideal phase – where there is no rush, still on holiday mode, cost of living is at optimum 6 months. Looking at all best/ideal job criteria, pays RM12 for morning latte

2) Phase 2, worrying phase – starts looking at job boards, talking to head hunters and friends, cost of living covers about 2-3 months. Striking out top 3 work values, pays RM6.50 for kopi

3) Phase 3, do or die – talks to everyone, have coffee at home.

Which phase are you at? Trust me, I have gone through all 3 phases.
