It's Time To

PowerUp Your Vision

Kickstart your journey to a new career by doing these things first.
PowerUp Your Job Search

Job search essentials and creating a punchy and compelling CV and cover letter to go with your job applications.

Find someone who’s been there and done it and happy to share, challenge, and support you in your ambition. Then challenge yourself to do what feels uncomfortable or just outside what you think is your reach - make it a goal, and make a plan. Even if you don’t quite get there on the first attempt you’ll learn a load and make yourself ready for the next one.”
Charlotte Walshe - CEO Jade Software
It is a very good time to re-join the workforce. We need you and want you! We look first for your can-do attitude, great work ethic, loyalty, positivity, and openness to learn. Knock on doors, be prepared to start lower and work your way up. Every day sit quietly for five minutes and visualise yourself in the role or organisation you would love to be in. Back yourself, there is somewhere right for you."
Peri Drysdale - Untouched World, Founder & Chief Executive
