Career mapping: "Where do I see myself in five years?” You may want to start your own business. Maybe you aspire for a complete career change or an internal promotion within your existing company. But how do you get there? It is not a straight pathway.
Interview preparation and coaching, including detailed assistance with behavioural interviews, personal presentation and body language. One on one interview training involving "mock interviews", post-interview tactics and advanced strategies to win interviews in this highly competitive job market
LinkedIn profile builder...we assist you to fully develop and utilise your LinkedIn profile to maximise your potential value from this important online resource, involving a keyword-rich online profile that demonstrates not only what you've accomplished, but what you can offer future employers. ACMA's online career management system also directly interfaces with each client's LinkedIn profile which allows clients to instantly access their profile whilst simultaneously using the system, thereby significantly increasing the efficiency of their job search or career management activities...this facility is unique in Australia/NZ
Personal branding: Your perceived value-add proposition that you present to a company implies a promise. A promise that you will bring something to the table that will significantly contribute to their organisation. You must prove that your unique "brand" will contribute more to the company than the brand being presented by your competition. Your ability to communicate your brand, verbally, in writing and digitally, will drive your success in conducting an effective job search.
Assistance in accessing the "hidden job market" (70% of jobs are never advertised) including directly target marketing potential employers; this is the major focus of our program as it is where you have the highest chance of obtaining the position you want. ACMA has developed Australia/NZ wide connections and job market intelligence gathering methods (across all sectors), designed to assist in the acceleration of the job search process by actively pursuing unadvertised positions. We coach you to target companies that meet your search criteria, not just apply to jobs listed online... the challenge is how to find opportunities that fit your criteria. We will guide you through this entire process to professionally market yourself to your target companies...a SMARTER WAY TO JOB SEARCH!
Online job application forms can be complex to complete. With the advent of "no resume required" applications, the importance of responding correctly when submitting online application forms can be critical to your future career prospects. Your consultant will coach and supervise your applications to ensure 100% compliance.
Help in approaching and using recruiters/agencies active in your target market utilising our extensive Australia/NZ wide recruiter database connections

Contract and salary packaging negotiation assistance ensuring that your interests are properly protected...negotiating for your livelihood is "serious business" which employers win most of the time because candidates don't know the rules and how the game is played...accept the fact that you don't get the salary you deserve; you get the salary you negotiate!
12 months mentoring after starting in any new position supporting you during the critical probationary and settling in period...assisting you to negotiate the complexities that everyone confronts when moving into a new (internal or external) workplace environment
