The money lives here

18/08/2026

You have the idea. But where is the money to make it happen?

It’s a question many professionals, entrepreneurs and investors eventually face.

You may have identified an opportunity, developed a business idea or be ready to expand, but finding the right capital and understanding where to look can be another challenge entirely.

That’s the conversation we’re having at WHERE IS THE MONEY?, hosted by African Professionals of Australia, Western Australia Chapter, alongside Africa Down Under 2026.

We’ll be talking about securing capital and accessing investment opportunities across Africa and Australia, with an open Q&A giving you the chance to bring your own questions into the conversation.

If raising capital, investing or growing a business is on your radar, this is a conversation worth being part of.

One simple way to improve your CV this week…

Most CVs don’t fail because people lack experience.
They fail because the value is not clear.

If you want to improve your CV this week, start with one thing. Make it clear, targeted, and results-focused.

What can you do?

1. Fix your opening summary
Your first few lines should match the role you want.
Use 2–3 keywords from the job description and state clearly what you do and the value you bring.
Recruiters often spend only a few seconds on a CV. This section helps them quickly decide if you are a fit.

2. Show results, not just duties
Instead of listing what you were responsible for, show what you achieved.

For example:
“Managed social media accounts”
becomes
“Managed 5 social media channels and increased engagement by 32% in 6 months.”

Numbers make your work easier to understand and more credible.

3. Use simple, clean structure
Stick to clear headings like Work Experience, Education, and Skills. Simple formatting helps both recruiters and screening systems read your CV easily.

4. Tailor it for each role
Sending the same CV everywhere rarely works.
A few small edits to match each role can make a big difference.

One thing to remember:

The top section of your CV should quickly answer three questions:
-Who are you?
-What role are you aiming for?
-What results have you delivered?

If someone can see that in seconds, your CV is already doing its job.

We’re still reminiscing about the beautiful moments from Rooted & Rising.

Thank you to everyone who joined African Professionals of Australia (APA) - Western Australia to celebrate International Women’s Day. The room was filled with thoughtful conversations, shared experiences and genuine connection.

A special thank you to our keynote speaker and panelists for sharing their insights and stories with honesty and purpose. Your voices helped make the morning meaningful for everyone in the room.

And to every attendee who showed up, listened, contributed and connected with others. You helped create the atmosphere that made the event memorable.

We’re grateful for the community that came together including Amplify Black Women & African Women Australia Inc. (AWAU) to make this day what it was.

Here are a few moments from the event.
