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.

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

Recent recommendation:
"In my many years in HR, it is rare to find an outplacement provider like ACMA that truly cares for the person as an individual, not just as a project or task. The response times are best in class, as often these events occur spontaneously; the management and team react and commence service delivery without hesitation.
Where most providers drop the candidate as soon as they are employed again, the ACMA team carry through with the support to ensure the candidate is well-equipped to pass any milestone put in front of them.
True professionals, in every sense of the word, can't recommend their services highly enough. Cost-effective and highly skilled, the feedback from employees helped by ACMA has always been at the 5-star level."
