    S1, E9: Come fly with me...but if you can't, will you give me a job?

    This latest episode features Qantas pilot turned small business owner Matt Harper, and a very honest conversation about the challenges he faced trying to find a job when the airline industry had been grounded. What do you do when you can't work in a job you have dreamt about and worked hard to get into since you were a kid, and no-one is willing to see you working as anything else? This is a story about transferable skills, backing yourself and falling back on those traits of determination that got Matt to the pinnacle of his career in the first place. We also talk about the importance of a support crew and exercise, with some tips for other jobseekers and employers. To support Matt and David and their families, visit their business https://automatehome.com.au/ If you are an employer and want to register for the job matching initiative with Qantas contact TalentAcquisitionCampaign@qantas.com.au Finally, to hear some uplifting tunes while we work this thing out, visit the JTJQ2020 Spotify playlist.  Each guest has kindly contributed a song.

    In this episode of Joining the Job Queue I chat to nutritionist and life coach Sonya Reynolds. Sonya explains why eating well is critical to maintaining well-being and managing stress while we're on the hunt for work.  We talk about the key foods we should - and shouldn't - be eating and yes, we are allowed to have some chocolate! We also talk about shopping on a reduced budget,  self care and vitamin supplements. And, she shares one of her easy and healthy recipes with us (see below).

    S1, E7: Is age discrimination real, and what to do about it?

    This is my first time looking for a job since I turned 50. Should I be worried? Should I dye my grey hair and break out the Botox?   In this episode, Hunter Leonard, founder of Silver and Wise - an organisation that helps mature workers into work -  says that yes, we probably will face discrimination, but there's plenty we can do about it. Check out the Silver and Wise website at: www.silverandwise.com.au There you'll find a link to Hunter's own podcast program, The Forty Plus Business Show: www.silverandwise.com.au/podcasts.  You might like to check out these two great episodes that were mentioned in our chat: Episode 5: How awesome are mature Aussies Episode 9: Burying mandarins and stinky teenagers Following the interview, stay listening for a review of two books Hunter as written to help mature workers find gainful employment.

    S1, E5: If COVID means a change of direction, where do you start?

    For many of us, COVID has led to a change of direction.  Either because we've had to - in the case of our job or industry being impacted, or because we want to, as the pandemic has slowed down our lives to allow our dreams to come to the fore. Maybe, like me, you've been thinking about making a change for a while but the timing was never right.  Until the decision is taken out of your hands! I had already been working with an executive coach, Jane Counsel, to work out my next move, and she has agreed to share some of the guidance she has provided to me. Jane is a coach with Executive Central and has coached CEOS and senior execs in ASX-listed top companies, the public sector and not-for-profits. She is also a thought leader in the area of diversity and inclusion. Here are Jane's contact details: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jane-counsel-22a8934/ https://executivecentral.com.au/ To hear some uplifting tunes while we work this thing out, visit the JTJQ2020 Spotify playlist.  Each guest has kindly contributed a song.
