Complacency is one of the greatest enemies of the mature worker. If you aren’t growing in your role, learning new skills, open to new and better ways of doing things, you can be sure that someone else around you will be. Often people who are caught unaware by a redundancy recognize, too late to save their job, that they have not proactively adapted within their role or have not been attuned to the politics of what was happening around them.

6 Signs You're Being Contacted By A Good RecruiterCAREEREALISM
Have you ever received an email about “an amazing opportunity” at “an amazing company” that’s looking for “talent like you”? Chances are your answer is yes.
Related: 10 Things Recruiters Won’t Tell You (But I Will!)
How do you feel when you get this very obviously copy-and-pasted email? Not special, that’s for sure. And you probably wonder how many other people got the same exact email. How many other people are considered “talent like you,” anyway?
This is lazy recruiting – Generic email blasts from recruiters who clearly don’t have time to do a little research and customization for “talent like you.” With high pressure to fill jobs quickly, many recruiters fall into this trap.
But how do you know when you’re being contacted by a savvy recruiter who focuses on more than simply filling open positions fast? Here are six signs you’re being contacted by a GOOD recruiter...
Your hiring journey is supposed to give you accurate information and insight about your candidates. Instead, it takes you on a biased tour of the version of themselves they think you want to see. Which leaves you playing a guessing game about the performance of your next hire.
Read ‘The New Hiring Journey’ to find out how flipping your hiring journey on its head turns that guessing game into a scientific analysis of your candidates.
Over two hundred years of collective experience has gone into this document. Those who contributed are not only talented individuals with a wealth of knowledge, but also compassionate professionals who remember what it's like to be a student. They've all taken time out of their already overtaxed schedules to share a lesson based on their own personal experience.
Everyone was asked one simple question: What makes a good advertising intern?
Despite being so open-ended, the question yielded many common themes. Passion for the business, a positive attitude and an amazing work ethic were mentioned a number of times.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

You’ve been retrenched, how to find a job
1. You’ve been retrenched,
what now?
How to get a new job & navigate through retrenchment without the aid of an
outplacement provider
www.selectionpartners.com.au
2. Don’t panic!
The first thing to realise is that, organisations
go through change and sometimes despite
all your efforts, loyalty and hard work, your
role is no longer required to be performed
by anyone.
Sometimes roles simply cease to exist as in
the case of offshoring or where technology
replaces manual positions.
Sometimes organisations merge, move or
even shut down.
This is not your fault.
You are not to blame.
This is nothing to feel ashamed, guilt or
embarrassed about.
3. However you are
feeling is ok
Everyone experiences retrenchment differently, you
might feel any, all or none of the following;
shock, disbelief and feeling numb
a sense of loss, not just regarding the job or finances,
but also for dreams and hopes for the future
confusion and trying to make sense of it – ‘Why has this
happened to me?’
anger – a common reaction when people feel
powerless or out of control
feeling overwhelmed by day-to-day events or the
future
guilt – ‘I wish I’d done things differently’, ‘I’ve
disappointed my family’ feeling isolated and alone.
However you feel is Ok. Just make sure you look after
yourself during this period of change & get any help you
might need if you start to feel overwhelmed.
4. The harsh reality
Research suggests that we could expect to
be made redundant up to three times during
our working life.
Each year, 2.3% of Australian workers lose jobs
as a result of corporate downsizing,
restructure or closure according to OECD.
*15 - 24 year old’s on average spend 30
weeks looking for work
25 – 54 year old’s on average spend 49
weeks looking for work
55 + spend approx. 68 weeks looking for work
Looking for a new job takes time!
*The centre's study the Willing To Work Inquiry by the Human
Rights Commission released in May 2016
5. Finding a new job
takes time
Despite the statistics in the previous slide it may take
you less time to find a new role. It may take you more.
How long this will take depends on you, your
background, and how effectively you look for a new
role.
I can guarantee, if you conduct the job search
process effectively it will take you less time than if you
don’t.
I can also guarantee, if you approach looking for a
new job with a positive attitude you stand more chance
of getting employment sooner than if you appear
resentful or annoyed at having been retrenched.
6. What to do
Use your time wisely. Decide how much time you want
off (if you want any)and how much time you want to
devote to looking for a new role. Some people prefer to
look for a job in the morning, then have fun in the
afternoon, others spend 3 days looking for a job with 2
days spent with family or on other enjoyable or useful
activities. Do what works for you, but don’t not have
some time to do things other than ‘looking for a job’.
(When you get a new job it’s good to reflect on what
you achieved during your time not in employment.)
If your home is too noisy to focus, go to a coffee shop,
library, or a friends house to conduct your job search.
If you received a retrenchment package, don’t blow it!
Be frugal, pull in expenses and think of the money as your
salary whilst you look for a new role.
With a positive mindset, get planning and get into
action. The following slides will show you how. ☺
7. Create a resume
that rocks
Your resume needs to stand out, but
that doesn’t mean, bold colour and
crazy designs. Keep it clean and use
MS word (recruiters prefer that).
Don’t write what you want - write
what you can do for a potential
employer.
Rather than list your competencies,
add some text about when you have
successfully used these skills.
Highlight the achievements relevant
to the role you are applying for.
Outline all relevant experience, not
always all of your experience.
3- 5 pages is OK, but create a one
page marketing resume too for
networking.
8. Update your
LinkedIn profile
Love it or hate it, LinkedIn is a really
useful tool; for getting a new role,
networking and for promoting your
brand to the employment market.
Ensure you have a professional or
stylish photo. People with photos are 7
times more likely to get approached for
a job via LinkedIn than without.
Connect to lots of people, you never
know who knows who.
Ensure you have key words in your
summary relevant to the job you want,
this helps recruiters find you.
Use the words, ‘seeking’ or ‘looking
for’ or ‘available’ for a new role to help
hiring managers find you.
9. Think about your
brand
There are only so many jobs you can apply for. With
the rest of your allocated time, think about building
your brand image, & networking. Be proactive.
More than 90% of recruiters will check you out on
LinkedIn or some form of social media to verify your
CV, to get a sense of who you are and have a look
at your picture.
Make sure your profile is complete.
Maximise your profile by getting as many
recommendations as possible and provide
recommendations to others you have worked with.
Get active – participate in groups, write articles or
blogs, share info, ramp up your activity.
Demonstrate you are active in your area of
employment.
Be clear about what you want people to think about
you and then only comment or post articles relating
to that. LinkedIn is not the place to be political or
controversial.
10. Connect with
recruiters
Identify recruiters who work in the area you want to
find a job in, then contact them. Specialist recruiters are
great at opening doors for people.
If you don’t know what you want to do – do not go
and see a recruiter. The reality is recruiters are NOT
career coaches they are unlikely to offer career change
advice. If you are unsure what you want it’s hard for
them to help you. So spend time finding out what you
want first and why.
Find recruiters by searching for the type of roles you
want then apply to those or ask those recruiters to meet
as they may have other roles that could suit you.
Always be smart, polite and professional. Ask for
advice but be confident in your abilities. Prepare for the
interview with a recruiter. Don’t undervalue their ability
to get you a job, if you impress them or block you from
roles if you don’t!
11. How to prepare
for an interview
You need to know why you are suitable for
the role you are interviewing for and what
you can deliver of value to the position if
you secure it.
Spend time conducting a gap analysis of
your skills & experience for the role. Prepare
examples of your strengths and what you
are doing or will do to overcome any gaps.
Know answers to simple questions like
- Tell me about yourself?
- Why do you want this job?
- Why should we give the role to you?
- What are your biggest achievements?
Prepare answers to behavioural questions
that ask about competencies necessary for
success in the role.
12. Competencies & how to
answer behavioural
interview questions
Behavioural interviews are based on the premise that how you
behaved in the past is the best predictor of what you are likely to
do in the future. For example, if you showed initiative and were
extremely team focused in your last job, the likelihood is that you
will behave in the same way in your new job. Similarly, if you
were lazy and self orientated in your previous role, the interviewer
is likely to think you will be the same in their job!
Make sure you therefore understand what competencies are
important in the role you want, then prepare examples of when
you demonstrated this behaviour.
When you tell the interviewer your question response, follow the
STAR format in the diagram to the right.
It’s a good idea to practice and record yourself answering
interview questions. This gives you insight into what others hear.
For many this is a very useful exercise.
13. Network
Share with people you know, that you
are available for work and the type of
roles you are looking for. Ask your network
if they know anyone who could help you.
This is not the time to be shy, you don’t
need to ask your network for a job, just for
a referral. If they have a job they may talk
to you about it. This avoids embarrassing
anyone if they have a role but feel you are
not the right fit.
Don’t rule out anyone, think of ex
colleagues, friends, sports acquaintances,
kids friends parents, church, community.
People know people, who know people!
Over 70% of roles are filled through
referrals this is called the hidden job
market.
Employers love recommendations it
saves on recruitment costs and saves time.
14. Contact
organisations directly
If you want to be proactive, why not
reach out to organisations directly?
Email your one page CV or bio to the
person in the company who may be in
a position to hire you. Ensure you note
on your CV the value you offer the
company based on your skills and
experience. Use Google, LinkedIn or
call the company directly to get the
details.
Think about organisations close to
home, competitors to your last
employer, suppliers, the same industry,
what ever takes you fancy.
One of my clients contacted 10
companies, got 7 responses, two
interviews ->one job! Boom. It works!
15. Support available
If you want more help to find your next role. There
are many options. To follow are two of my
suggestions
1. www.careering.com.au Use careering
This is an on-line job search training tool. It’s packed
full of useful relevant information that will help you to
get your next new job. It contains action lists,
downloads, videos etc. At $75 for 6 months access, I
think its great value for money.
2. Contact a career coach. Selection Partners has
a range of career coaches throughout Australia.
With any coach my recommendation is to book one
session first to ensure you are getting value for
money before you commit to any longer
arrangement. info@selectionpartners.com.au
It may be cheaper to go alone or get help from a
friend, but consider if getting on-line or professional
help means you get your next job even two weeks
quicker, it may be worth it? Please don’t feel you
are stuck, there are always options.
16. I hope this information has been of help to you. All
the best navigating through this time.
