Are you looking for a job right now? Are you thinking of changing career? Listen in as I speak to the Candid Career Coach Vicki Marinker, about the jobs market in 2023 (following the resource crisis of 2022), AI CV tracking, being an influencer on LinkedIn and the importance of professional employees developing their Personal brand. It took Vicki '15 years to be an overnight success' and has turned unhappiness - confessing to having been bullied, bored and burnt out it has taken her 23 years to apply all of her knowledge for the benefit of clients. Her advice - 'if you're unhappy move - you're not a tree! You can change and good things can come from that.' We also discuss the importance of overcoming hard times, the challenge in showing vulnerability and why it's important to present yourself as a whole person - not just a successful one. Join us in part 2 when we talk Tik Tok from a recruitment perspective, the importance of Employer Brand, finding your sense of purpose, some of Vicki's career highlights and a slightly mis-spent youth which led to a serious love for karaoke!
