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.
