Job Hunting After Kids? How to Position Yourself and Land Your Next Role with Dayna Stewart

We are seeing women change jobs at high rates to work for organisations that align with their work/life integration priorities. Often women believe they need 80% of the selection criteria vs men that believe they need only 20%. How do you get the cut through with recruiters to get the interview? Enjoy this episode of the Working Mumma podcast as I speak with Dayna Stewart, the Executive Director of The Nudge Group, and a busy mum to two beautiful kids, Jake and Asha, supported by her awesome hubby, Jarod. 

During this episode, Dayna and I chat about all things relating to searching for your next role, how to position yourself effectively, and why you should back yourself during the application process. Dayna gives great advice from her 20+ years of experience in recruitment to help you land your next role. 

We chat about:

* How you can best prepare and position yourself in a competitive recruitment environment
* Tips for your resume and what to include/not include - including navigating motherhood and parental leave breaks in your resume and during job interviews 

* Trends by employers to attract new candidates and what to look out for 

* The importance of a positive mindset during the job search process 

* The benefit of improving your LinkedIn profile and tips for making your profile look attractive to recruiters  

* Tips for being a stand-out candidate and why researching is important for the company and key stakeholders during the interview process

Best of luck with your job search and securing your next role.
