For full-time work, it is best to start looking for work towards the end of your degree as you will not have the capacity for full-time employee whilst studying. It may take some time for any roles to become available and then furthermore, the process of applying for roles can also be time-consuming. Apply for full-time roles once you are nearing the end of the semester but be prepared for nothing to eventuate until the new year. Internships and part-time work are an excellent way of gaining experience over the summer holidays

Artificial Intelligence today often scans the first page and then grades your candidate validity so first-page content is critical. Your first page must be clear and succinct, no fluff. Ensure all your most important information is collated on the one page as this is often all that is scanned when your CV is digitally read.

It’s no secret that Aussies love their sport…. in fact many would say it as big a time waster in the workplace as the water cooler! With the winter olympics in full swing, we have noticed it’s the talk of the office at the moment, helping to improve communication in a team environment when so often offices today are like libraries, with everyone on sms and email
Sport talk in the workplace can help build team. It is something that people actually have in common to talk about , no matter what walk of life, age or stage.
Office Winter Olympic company themed team sweeps and footy tipping competitions are just two of many sporting team building concepts. At Mondo we are an Aussie Executive Search company that connects calibre. Placed 2700 business leaders in 20 years across Australasia- we know why people stay or leave an organisation.
One of the most imperative reasons people stay with their employer is the importance of having a good workplace environment. As a business leader, you need to make sure you check in regularly with the type of environment. Retaining good staff is invaluable for the success of an organisation. Always think of sport to cross all barriers with your people.
It seems the world is becoming more casual about relationships in the workforce.
However, there are a few 101’s that remain and need to be maintained within our workplaces despite society and it’s changes towards social behaviour and custom.
Employees must be held with respect. Leaders cannot think humour around any discrimination is acceptable. Nor is axe or words around breaking physical or emotional boundaries.
Believe it or not, the old saying still stands “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” (This includes office gossip.)
Any professional negative feedback must be given in a private and quiet environment.
Love can hurt in more ways than one. Be wary of this when starting any sort of relationship with someone you work with.
Our Director Simone Allan was interviewed by Noosa FM on this matter.
The hiring process is a good opportunity to reflect and plan – not just for the role that you are trying to fill, but for how you lead & manage people; and how you build a robust team, ultimately delivering your business goals over the short and long term.
Staffing can represent a significant investment in financial resources and time. Mondo have developed the following Leadership Tips that we hope you may find valuable.
We hope these tips will be useful to you and invite you to share it.
A good approach to Talent Management is to think in four stages:
Stage 1: Looking for Talent
– Develop a written recruitment strategy – it will help ensure your interviewing and assessment delivers the candidate you are after.
– Benchmark all candidates – internal and external.
– Prepare well for interviews.
– Always complete reference checks – be forensic. Ask only for previous managers.
– Have a well structured induction program for new hires.
Stage 2: Leading Talent
– Ensure everyone knows your purpose and strategy
– Agree with each of your employees on a job description and KPIs from the very start
– Have regular reviews around the job description and KPIs
– Identify Mentors who excel at Leadership for your key people
– Make hard decisions. Hire slow and fire fast – set them free.
– Frequently and consistently recognise achievement.
– Empower Others – give them the autonomy and authority to decide how the work gets done.
– Provide regular meaningful learning & training opportunities
Stage 3: Locking in Talent
– Ensure everyone knows your purpose, values, vision and strategy
– Recruit well in the first place
– Listen to your people. Walk next to them and push them harder than they think they can go.
– Have regular reviews around the job description and KPIs
– Establish trust – demonstrate you care, communicating regularly and openly and provide forums for feedback. Look at the best way to share both positive and negative feedback. Never use email for negative feedback! Some people prefer public praise, others prefer one on one time with you as the leader.
– Provide social opportunities to encourage top performance often
Stage 4: Long Term Planning
– Develop a long term talent strategy – review it every year.
– Build a talent pipeline of good people you want to attract to your business
– Identify coaches and mentors to align with your people
– Aim to be an employer of choice. Develop an EVP ( Employee Value Proposition – why is it good to work in your workplace?)
– Foster the law of reciprocity in the workplace – helping others releases positive hormones.
– Provide meaningful stretch training opportunities – help staff future proof their career
– Look at long term remuneration incentives and “ hand cuffs”. Examine the motivators for your team in the workplace – workplace offerings, promotions and job challenge; Incentives ( cash and non cash), workplace learnings and Wow leadership.
