Be the Needle in the CV Stack

What does a standout CV look like? It has a strong structure, outlining your core skills and strengths and clearly demonstrates your achievements using the STAR method. It’s also tailored to the job you’re applying for. The generic “off the shelf” CV that doesn’t speak directly to the role you’re applying for is ending up at the bottom of the pile.
A sure way to truly stand out is by partnering with a Recruiter such as Emanate. When we submit your application to our client, the CV you’ve written will be accompanied with our detailed interview summary. Emanate’s policy is to interview every single candidate we put forward to our clients, either face to face or via video when an in-person interview is not possible. Like your tailored CV, our interview summary highlights your core skills the client is seeking, and outlines the previous experience and achievements you have which would benefit and support the needs of our client.

With an abundance of highly active candidates in the current market, especially in the lead up to EOFY, the relationship you have with your Recruiter, in particular one that holds a good relationship with the client, places you ahead of the crowd.

With Change Comes Opportunity

Change across the Federal Government in the past year has also impacted rates. We have seen a shift particularly at the top end of the market with PM’s, Program Managers, Senior Business Analysts and Tech Leads. While rates may be impacted, the positive news is that there are still many large digital transformation and modernisation programs that need to be delivered across the government causing a need to resource up with skills gaps across the organisation. These are the roles you want to be positioning yourself for within the public services sector.

At Emanate we are fortunate to be partnering with some great clients who are delivering some of these exciting transformations. From Large Application Modernisations to major uplift of platforms as well as large Digital transformations we are supporting some really exciting opportunities in the current market.

A Budget in the Face of Uncertainty

The budget that will be handed down on May 9th is expected to be heavy in key areas including defence, aged care, health care, electricity bill relief as well as changes to the superannuation system. This is the second budget Labour has delivered in nearly a decade and it is being pitched as a family focused budget, which will help those in hard times and in the face of uncertainty with the rising costs of living combined with higher interest rates. All indicators suggest the budget will be focused on cheaper childcare, paid parental leave, cheaper medicine, housing affordability and wage growth, however, there are significant opportunities in areas such as energy transition, digitisation and defence which will benefit Australia’s economic prosperity and resilience. The Treasurer, Jim Chalmers, has pointed to the fact that there is a need to restrain on-going spend to repair the budget and ensure inflation eases.
