Greetings!

Happy New Year and welcome to the February 2011 edition of my Style Success Newsletter.  I hope you had a great start to the New Year after a relaxing Christmas and New Year's holiday.

I can't believe that we are now into month two of 2011 already. Where did January go? Did you make New  Year's resolutions and, if so, are you still on track with them?  This year I didn't make any New Year's resolutions, instead I made a list of personal and professional goals for the year.  I always find that my resolutions seem to fall by the wayside after a few weeks however my goals remain a constant.  Realistic goals enable me to take one step at a time towards success - each small step is a reason to celebrate!  Every celebration is inspiration to continue towards that goal.  I'd love to hear what your goals for 2011 are and how you are progressing towards achieving them.  Email me and let me know how you go!

This month I'd like to share my thoughts on a fabulous film, "The King's Speech," It inspired me as it was not only about overcoming our fears and obstacles in life but also about what a coach goes through when working with a coachee.  This film is beautifully acted - Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush brought such joy and depth to the characters they played.
 

The New Year brings a time of change and many of you may be thinking about taking that big step towards a new career.  In order to be in the running for that dream job, you must have an effective Resume and if you are thinking about targeting the public service you will have to seriously consider how to tackle Key Selection Criteria.  In this newsletter you will find two articles that discuss what you need to be successful.


Some of you may be launching your own businesses.  If so, do you know how to effectively use online e-marketing and e-commerce strategies?  TAFE NSW has a FREE training course for Small Businesses.  All you need is an Australian  ABN number and you can work through the course in your own time online.  Check it out at:   TAFE Small Business Online  Tell your friends - it's a great course!
 

It's 2011!  Continue to be inspired to live a life filled with meaning and clear direction.  Be empowered to achieve your personal and professional goals.  If you are at a cross road in your life regarding your career, relationships or personal direction here is where you may find the answer.  Enjoy!
The King's Speech
The King's Speech
 
The King's Speech must be one of the most inspiring films I have seen - thought provoking, compassionate and uplifting. 
 
It provided insight to the human side of the monarchy - the side hidden from the 'common' public.  The Duke of York, son of King George V and brother of King Edward VIII (who abdicated the throne for Mrs Wallace Simpson) was required to give public speeches as part of his duties but had a fear of public speaking. This stemmed from experiences in his childhood.

How to Address Key Selection Criteria

Key Selection Criteria

As a career coach I have had many clients ask me how to approach an application for a role in the public service.

 

They find it a little daunting, as applications in this area require a detailed look at the Key Selection Criteria, a sound understanding of what is required and applications must address each and every criterion.

 

There is a set procedure to follow to ensure every applicant is given a fair and unbiased opportunity.

 

So, if you've seen advertised a job opportunity in the public service and you want to apply, where do you start?
