A little “yes, I’m still here” update 🤎

I know I’ve been a little quiet on socials lately, but quiet definitely doesn’t mean I’ve disappeared — or that either of my businesses has gone anywhere.

The last little while has been a juggle of single mum life, putting more time and energy into my kids, house hunting, creating, working and basically trying to keep all the balls in the air without launching one through a window. 😂

Behind the scenes, I’m still very much working.

✨ LunaLumen – Intuition & Light is still creating, and you can find me at the Rotary Markets every Sunday with all my handmade crystal, sun-catching and sparkly goodness.

✨ LumenLift Consulting is still open and taking bookings for resumes, cover letters, career coaching and job application support whenever you need me.

And because apparently I don’t know how to sit still, I’m also currently writing an Employability Workshop designed to give people practical, real-world help with resumes, job searching, applications, interviews and actually getting themselves employment-ready.

Just a little extra icing on the cake. 🎂

So yes, socials have been quieter.

Life hasn’t.

Business hasn’t.

The ideas definitely haven’t. 😂

Sometimes running a business doesn’t look like posting every day. Sometimes it looks like raising kids, navigating life, building things quietly in the background and showing up where it matters.

I’m still here. Still creating. Still helping people. Still building both businesses — just doing it around real life. 🤎

It’s been a little quiet over here lately… and for good reason.

Mum life has been keeping me busy. ❤️

One of the biggest milestones happened in our house recently. My eldest son has officially commenced his full-time bricklaying apprenticeship.

Watching him put on his work boots each morning and head out to build a career he’s genuinely excited about has made this mum incredibly proud.

His journey hasn’t looked like everyone else’s.

School wasn’t the right fit for him. He has ADHD, and trying to force him into a pathway that wasn’t working only affected his confidence. But once he found something hands-on, everything changed.

That’s exactly why I’m so passionate about helping young people.

Not every teenager is destined for university, and not every teenager thrives in a traditional classroom. That doesn’t mean they’re not capable, intelligent or destined for success.

Apprenticeships, traineeships, trades, hospitality, retail, mining, construction and so many other industries offer incredible careers. Sometimes all a young person needs is someone to help them discover the right path.

At LumenLift Consulting, I don’t just write resumes.

I help teenagers and their families navigate those first career decisions with confidence, whether that’s a first job, an apprenticeship, a traineeship or a complete change in direction.

If you’ve got a teenager who’s feeling lost, disengaged at school, or unsure what comes next, don’t lose hope. There are more opportunities out there than you might think.

Sometimes success doesn’t start in a classroom.
Sometimes it starts with the right opportunity.

Congratulations, Chayse. I couldn’t be prouder of the young man you’re becoming. And a huge thank you to his godfather, Tyran, for believing in him and celebrating this milestone alongside us.

If your teen is ready to take that first step, I’d love to help.

Is Your Teen Ready for Their First Job?

One of the biggest misconceptions I see is parents waiting until their teenager finishes school before thinking about employment.

The reality is that some of the most valuable skills employers look for aren’t learned in a classroom. They’re developed through part-time jobs, apprenticeships, volunteering, sport, and simply learning how to show up and be reliable.

If your teen is looking for their first job, here are a few things that can make a huge difference:

• A professional resume, even with little or no work experience
• A clear understanding of their strengths and interests
• Confidence introducing themselves to employers
• Basic workplace communication skills
• Willingness to learn and take feedback
• Showing initiative instead of waiting for opportunities to come to them

The job market is competitive right now. Many entry-level roles receive hundreds of applications, which means helping your teenager stand out early can give them a real advantage.

I’ve seen firsthand how much a young person’s confidence grows when they land that first interview or job offer. It’s often the start of something much bigger than just earning money.

As a mum of a teenager myself, I understand the challenges young people face when stepping into the workforce for the first time. Sometimes all they need is someone to help them present their skills and achievements in a way employers can see their potential.

If your teenager is ready to start applying for jobs, apprenticeships, traineeships, retail, hospitality or trade roles, I’d be happy to help.

LumenLift Consulting offers affordable Teen Resume Packages designed to help young job seekers take that first step with confidence.

What was your first job? I’d love to hear where your working life started.

The job market has changed dramatically over the last few years.

More Australians than ever are stepping outside their comfort zones and applying for roles they may never have considered before.

With the cost of living rising and household budgets stretched, people are actively pursuing better opportunities, higher-paying positions, greater flexibility, or even complete career changes in search of a better future for themselves and their families.

The result?

Competition is fierce.

It’s no longer uncommon to see hundreds of applications submitted for a single role.

One of the biggest mistakes I see job seekers make—particularly those changing careers—is focusing solely on previous job titles rather than the skills they’ve developed throughout their career.

Employers don’t just hire experience.

They hire capability.

Skills such as:

• Customer Service• Relationship Building• Team Leadership• Communication• Problem Solving• Time Management• Administration• Stakeholder Engagement• Training & Mentoring• Project Coordination

These are highly transferable skills that can open doors across multiple industries.

Your resume shouldn’t simply tell employers where you’ve worked. It should clearly demonstrate what value you can bring to their organisation.

If you’ve applied for 20, 50, or even 100 jobs without a response, it may not be your experience that’s holding you back.

It may be the way your experience and skills are being presented.

A great resume bridges the gap between where you’ve been and where you want to go.

That’s especially important when changing careers.

This is exactly what I help people do.

I work with job seekers to identify their transferable skills, position their experience strategically, and create resumes that give employers a clear reason to keep reading.

If you’re considering a career change, struggling to get interviews, or simply want a professional review of your resume, feel free to reach out.

Let’s have a conversation about how we can position you for your next opportunity.

Are you on LinkedIn yet?

Not because you’re looking for a job.

Not because you’re recruiting.

But because you’re looking to connect with real people.

I’ve noticed more and more people are moving beyond traditional job boards and networking differently. They’re building relationships, sharing experiences, asking questions, supporting each other and creating opportunities through genuine conversations.

Whether you’re a business owner, job seeker, recruiter, tradesperson, parent returning to work or someone considering a career change, there is value in being part of the conversation.

Some of the best opportunities don’t come from submitting another application.

They come from a message.

A comment.

A referral.

A connection.

A person who remembers your name when an opportunity comes up.

I’ve met some incredible people through LinkedIn over the past few months and it’s reminded me that behind every profile is someone trying to improve their situation, support their family, grow a business or take the next step in their career.

So I’m curious…

The job market right now is brutal.
People are applying for 50, 100, sometimes 200 jobs and hearing absolutely nothing back.

And honestly? A lot of good people are getting overlooked before a human even sees their resume.

After spending years working alongside employers, recruitment teams and job seekers, here are 5 things I see that genuinely help people stand out:

1. Stop writing a job description.
Most resumes tell me what someone was supposed to do.
Strong resumes tell me what they actually achieved.

Instead of:
“Answered phones and managed emails”

Try:
“Managed high-volume customer enquiries while supporting daily operations in a fast-paced office environment.”

2. Make the first half page count.
Recruiters skim resumes ridiculously fast. If your strongest experience is buried on page 3 like hidden treasure, we’ve got a problem.

Your top section should immediately show:
• What you do
• Your industry experience
• Your strengths
• Your licences/tickets if relevant

3. Tailor it slightly for the role.
I know. Nobody wants to rewrite resumes 47 times at midnight while questioning every life decision that led them to SEEK.

But even small changes matter.
Matching keywords, industry language and relevant skills can massively improve your chances.

4. Cut the fluff.
“Hardworking team player with excellent communication skills…”

Respectfully… everyone says that.

Show it instead through achievements, experience and results.

5. Formatting matters more than people think.
Huge paragraphs, five different fonts, bright colours, graphics everywhere, random text boxes… ATS systems and recruiters both hate chaos.

Clean. Simple. Easy to read.
That’s the sweet spot.

The hardest part for many people right now isn’t capability.
It’s positioning.

There are genuinely skilled people being overlooked every single day because their resume isn’t selling them properly.

And no — having gaps, changing careers, being older, being a parent returning to work, or coming from another industry does NOT automatically make you unemployable.

Sometimes it just needs a better strategy.

What’s been the hardest part of job searching lately for you?
