FAQs
What is career management?
Career management is a service used by career minded professionals to assist them in growing their careers whilst also getting the best qualitative and financial situation for their immediate, short-term and long-term careers. Career Management is not recruitment or human resources.
What services are offered by NotedCareers?
NotedCareers offers many career services but they fall into two main categories: Guaranteed Career Management Programs and Purpose Specific Training Packages.
The Guaranteed Career Management Programs are all encompassing end-to-end programs designed for professionals wanting an experienced career professional to partner with them, one-on-one, in taking the next step forward in their career.
The Purpose Specific Training Packages are extracts taken from the Guaranteed Career Management Programs. They are designed to focus on specific career issues. They are training packages and do not involve the career partnering, career guidance and career management aspects of the Guaranteed Career Management Programs.

I am not an Australian citizen or permanent resident of Australia; can I still apply for a job here?

I completed a Masters degree but lack work experience. How can I find my dream job?
Many graduates come up against the ‘experience’ dilemma. Many people assume that one cannot get a job without experience. However, one cannot get experience if no one gives it to them in the first place! The initial starting-out period will require an extra effort on your part to get your talents out in the short term. Remember, everybody gets their first job when they have no experience. Entry-level jobs are for people with no experience but you must be the right person for the job too.
I sent my resume to hundreds of employers and recruitment agencies in the last few days without any response. Why?
There are many reasons why you are not getting a response from your resume. Getting a job does not happen by accident, it requires hard work and knowledge. Using discipline, training and strategies that are proven to work is the best way to overcome this issue. To name a couple of those reasons is attention to detail and the right methodology of applying. Additionally, there is the Hidden Job Market, which is in itself is a job in learning how to do it effectively.
