Show Notes
It's a tough market for people on the job hunt in today's climate.
Seek data shows job ads fell 2 percent in December - and were down 22 percent compared to December 2023.
Recent surveys also indicated at least 64 percent of employees are also hoping for a pay rise this year.
Robert Half Managing Director Megan Alexander says applicants need to demonstrate proactivity and initiative - and follow through on the promises made in interviews.
"You have to definitely have the full package in today's climate. You've got to have experience that is relevant for the job, you've got to articulate it really well, you have to demonstrate proactivity... all those people-skill elements."
