🗞 Good news - it's Wednesday! That means it's time for your Wednesday Work Alert for my LinkedIn listeners in research careers. Have you thought about maximizing your external (as in, non-academic) research value with a fixed-term gig? 12 month roles are a way to 'test the waters' to see whether this environment suits you, which will build your skills and your EVIDENCE of SUCCESSFUL OUTCOMES exponentially .... which will help you equip you to secure your next role (inside, outside, or alongside academia). 💡 12 month Evidence Synthesis - Research role in Adelaide https://lnkd.in/gMDBD9aH (there are LOTS of Adelaide-based research roles right now, check them out on Seek, LinkedIn, or through your preferred recruiter) 💡 12 month Senior Research Officer in Canberra https://lnkd.in/gVM-ymF6 💡 6mth+6mth Research Librarian / Research Analyst / Policy / Data role in Sydney https://lnkd.in/g89_-Dak 💡 12 month Data, Research & Evaluation Lead in Melbourne https://lnkd.in/gbXxS7a4 💡 Evidence Synthesis role - 100% WFH https://lnkd.in/gN_g3H3p Your research skills ARE in demand! Remember, just as your career support team told you when you were 18 that you don't have to decide your entire future from your undergraduate degree, you don't have to look for a 'forever' job as you complete your PhD or research qualification. What are your knowledge / experience gaps right now? Look for a role that will fill some of those, stay for just a year and see how that increases your options in your next search. #phdcareers #phdplanb #researchjobs #careercoaching #hdrcareers #qut

For curiosity purpose, I typed what is the employment rate in PNG, and Doctor Google gave the response: 64% in 2003 to 46% in 2022. Therefore, from the top of my head, this shows a decreasing trend in the employment rate in PNG. Further analyzing this data, to be successful, this means you have to apply for 4 jobs in order to have 1 chance opportunity, to increase the chances, you have to apply for 8 jobs in order to have two chances opportunity. To those still applying to secure a job, bear this in mind; increase your chances by increasing the number of applications. Be positive..

Most of us who are now employed would empathise with the challenges faced by many in today's job market. It’s disheartening to witness talented individuals pouring their hearts into job applications—only to receive silence in return. Take, for instance, two remarkable graduates I know: Lee Luderman holds a Master’s in Mathematics with expertise in R, Python, and Matlab, while Emilie Autard has a Bachelor of Animal Science and hands-on experience at renowned institutions like Taronga Zoo and Australia Zoo. Despite their impressive qualifications, they find themselves lost in a sea of applications with little acknowledgment of their efforts. This raises an important question: Where does our responsibility lie as employers in shaping the future workforce? Are we genuinely committed to giving candidates with the right attitude a fair shot, even if they lack extensive experience? As employers, we must recognise the potential in candidates beyond their resumes. We need to foster a culture of inclusivity and mentorship, where passion and eagerness to learn are valued alongside traditional qualifications. By providing opportunities for emerging talent, we not only uplift individuals but also enrich our industries with fresh perspectives and innovative ideas. Let’s commit to being more responsive and open-minded in our hiring practices. Together, we can create a supportive environment that empowers the next generation of leaders to thrive. #EmpowerFutureLeaders #InclusiveHiring #CareerOpportunities #NextGenTalent
