Dear Job Seeker,

#Unemployment is a condition no one enjoys.

Why?

It's hard! Really hard! But this moment can be the best in your life in your career. It was the best moment in my life.

Read on with me:
Being jobless can be challenging. It can bite hard into your bones, making you look like a false reflection of your true self.
Depending on the length, it can make you lose confidence in yourself and give up on life entirely.
But do you know that this can be one of the best moments of your life and career if you change your mindset towards being unemployed and make this low moment the best in your life and career?
Yes, there are benefits of being out of a job, only that we choose to focus on the other side.
Here are some benefits:
1 — You Have Time To Recharge And Connect With People That Matter To You - You don’t realise how disconnected you are from yourself and the most important people when you are busy with your 9–5.
2 — You Develop Critical Skills And Become An All-Rounder - all you need is a PC with an internet connection. You can’t afford to lose both ways; you should be learning if you are not earning.
3— You Have Time To Take Risks Because You Have Nothing To Lose - You aren’t afraid of an upcoming performance review. You aren’t under pressure to impress for the next performance bonus.
4— You Become A Good Money and Time Manager - you realise how valuable free time is.
5 — You Develop Strong Entrepreneur Spirit and Skills - because you have to pull your strings to survive
6 — You Have Time To Reflect and Find A Job That Truly Fits
7— You Become Incredible In Your Next Job
8— You Become Unstoppable - You have a positive mindset. You believe you can achieve the impossible. You feel confident that you can take on the world.
Unemployment might seem like a curse, but it can also be a time of great opportunity to recharge, re-discover your strengths and purpose if you don’t give up.
Use this time to focus on your growth and development. Unemployment has its benefits, but we seem to always focus on the wrong sides of it.
It all starts with your mindset and how you react to this dip in your life and career. It’s like the stock market — it either goes bullish or bearish. Don’t remain on the low — Rise.
Embrace your jobless self, use the moment to upgrade to You 2.0 and become unstoppable in your world.

Rise to the challenge and become incredible.

Dear International Graduates,

You can hone your skills and bump your income on your 9 to 5 job if you want.

I understand it’s challenging, but it’s not impossible.

I will show you how I doubled my income within 18 months as a graduate working 9 to 5 in Australia

#Thread
1 — It starts with a desire

Every goal starts with a decision & a genuine desire to make it happen

When there is no desire, there is no passion, no willpower to make it happen. If you can't change your mindset, don’t read on, you will not follow through

You must decide
2 — Identify your strengths

Competence is key.

Employers exchange money for your services. The greater the services you provide, the better your value.

You have to get really good in your field to get more money. You need to be better than average.

If you are a prospective or current international student or migrant this is for you

You can secure MULTIPLE jobs at once in your field if you distinguish yourself

I secured two job offers in Australia within two weeks in Australia without ap[ying online

The first thing you would probably hear from those around you when you finally commence your studies or arrive in a new country is how hard it is to get a job.

They might tell you the only way to secure a job is for you to switch careers. You really don't have to do this.
I studied Public Health and opted to stay put because I had a goal. It didn't matter if I couldn't secure a permanent residence in Australia after my studies. In fact, I was fine to leave, thankfully I haven't left since 2016

#Mindset is crucial for career success

Your mindset and attitude to work can either promote or limit your #career success
Two types of mindset exist - the growth mindset and the gift mindset.
