What workplace & employment topics would you like to chat about?

Hi everyone,

Since Dec 2015, @Debstar from Ostara has been running Career Chat on Fridays between 10am AEDT – 4pm AEDT. Over this period, the topics of discussion were:

  • Creating a CV and a cover letter
  • Managing interviews
  • Benefits and challenges to working & how to overcome them
  • How to maintain confidence and self esteem while job hunting
  • How to stand out to a potential employer
  • How to survive the first few weeks of a new job
  • Handling rejection when job hunting
  • Answering interview questions

We are planning more sessions and really want the community to benefit. So what other way is there but to ask you directly!?

We’re open to all ideas, however, there may be some topics we can’t address.

What we want to hear from you is:

1. Out of the topics we have listed above, which do you find challenging and what do you feel confident in?

2. In general, what challenges do you find with workplace and/or employment?

3. Are there any specific topics you would like to see addressed?

Looking forward to hearing your feedback.

Re: What workplace & employment topics would you like to chat about?

I'd like to hear about finding the right job after mental illness strikes. I had a long term career doing something I enjoyed, but I've had to give it up due to my worsening mental health. It's hard to face the prospect of starting over at an entry level and low paying role since I have degrees and qualifications. I am lost trying to figure out what to do.
