Stepping In Resumes

01/11/2021

Sorry for the radio silence lately but there have been some BIG things happening here.

One of those things has been preparing for the long journey home! Everything travelling by freight is being packed and starts its journey home tomorrow! It is actually happening!

As a result of this big change Stepping In Resumes is currently closed and will be closed until 2022 as I focus on getting home!

Thank you for your understanding. I can not wait to help you all to step into the job you want in 2022!

I got so excited writing back to a client today after they got the job they were chasing that I nearly misspelled my name.

It's one of those amazing feel-good, exciting days here today. How is your day shaping up? Is it time to make a career move?

I'm here to help!

After chatting to clients in wintery Canberra and Melbourne today I am ending my first full day back in the office here.

I only have 6 months more to enjoy this view and having this beach as my local hang.

When we accepted this adventure we had absolutely no idea that we would be here during a world wide pandemic. So far away from family and friends. In a country where we don't understand the health system and don't have an established network. Where everything is similar enough to feel familiar but so different at the same time.

We had so many plans. Most of which we have realised will never actually happen.

But I guess that is life.

We make plans, try to figure out what we want to do, but then things take an unexpected turn or just don't go to plan.

That doesn't mean all is lost. It just means we may need to pivot, refocus, dream big, dream smaller or just look at what we do have rather than what we don't.

I know you are underselling yourself. When you look at a job ad, you see the skills you don't have rather than looking at all the other skills you do.

Let me help you showcase your transferable skills. Let me help you show how flexible, adaptable and teachable you are.

Let's get you into your next job.

Back in the office after being on holidays today and I have only just finished going through all the emails that were waiting for me in my inbox. So many people looking for a change whether it be a step up, a step across or a step into something better.

It is always so exciting to help every single one of you!

Can not wait to help you see how transferrable your skills are and help you to step into the job you want!

We have had a great time seeing, doing and experiencing new things but it is time for our holiday to end.

Holidays are always fun but it is also nice to come home. Back to familiar surrounds, comfy beds and your own resources. Especially when home looks like this.

Back to work for me on Monday. I'm really looking forward helping my clients (You!) put their best foot forward.

This is the feedback that I love.

Your resume is often your first impression when you are applying for a job.

Over the last 20 years, I have seen so many Resumes. I have looked at some and seen the potential that was overlooked due to bad presentation. I admit that some have made me laugh, and some have just made me cringe. I know what works and detracts from a good resume, and I would love to help you make the right first impression because first impressions always count!

I have just finished the resume for my last client before I head off on holidays!

Stepping In Resumes will be closed from this Friday the 28th of May until Monday 21 June 2021.

I will reply to any messages and emails upon our return!

I was watching TV Show with my sons yesterday when one of the people said "I hate my job."

To which my 13 year old said "Why? Why are in you in a job you hate?? Find a new one!"

I have always told my sons that you don't ever need to plan for a forever job. You can change what you do as much as you want!! You have an entire lifetime to explore what is out there and what you want to do!

Do things you enjoy, find a job that you like and that you enjoy right now, maybe you won't enjoy it 10 years down the track but at any stage you can make a change. If the market is slow it may take a little while, but any step in the direction you want to go is a step in the right direction.

Let me help you step into your next work move. Whether it be a change in career, returning to work, promotion or moving towards something or somewhere different. Let me help.

I committed to doing something today that I'm not comfortable with.

It is something that makes me feel a little icky, a little scared and a lot out of my comfort zone.

But I am going to do it. Personal and professional growth doesn't come from staying comfortable, it comes from getting a little uncomfortable and putting yourself out there every now and again.

Thats how I felt starting Stepping In Resume Services.

But I did it because I want to help other people realise what they offer in a workplace. After 20 years in working in Federal APS Recruitment, helping work areas find the perfect match for their vacancy, I wanted to turn that around and help people realise their potential, discover their skills and talents and find their perfect job.

I can't guarantee that after my help you will win every single job you apply for, but I can guarantee that you will be putting your best foot forward.

Anyway, here it is.

Hi, I'm Rachael. I am the person behind Stepping In Resume Services and I can not wait to help you!
