Hi there! Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any software tools to assist you in this instance. And, what sort of top-5 tips list specifically are you asking about?

Were you made redundant twice? Or let go? It makes a difference.

Have you looked at your relationship building skills? If you have all the right skills and quals and don't seem to get the job, I'd be looking at how 'likeable' you are. Managers want to be able to imagine you as a part of the team.

I'd list each role and it's responsibilities (or more importantly achievements), making it clear that these roles all fall under the same company!

Oh wow. Yes, this is an age old question.

Every company is different. Unfortunately, that's the nature of the beast - when you post your application online, you're bound to get calls from headhunters, and you'll also be out there for employers to find you.

Yes - I would contact agencies directly. Look on seek.com.au and mycareer.com.au and find out who the big players are in the accounting field. Then use their names to phone them directly. Introduce yourself, explain your situation, ensure that you're professional and articulate and send them your resume.

You shouldn't have too much trouble being a young professional with minimal experience. As long as you can explain really clearly why you are looking to leave your current career path, and what it is that you like about the new one. Ensure that your cover letter clearly illustrates this point. Talk about what you can…

What have you done so far? What's your social media following like? Do you have a blog? Do you have thoughts on social media that you strongly believe in? Do you think you can see the direction that social media is headed?

Get out and apply for either volunteer work, as well as 'work experience'. Even if you're not being payed for a little while, that is totally ok! You need to be able to show initiative, and the best way to do that is to have already been out there in the working world. A little bit of experience in your situation,…

Thanks for that link Peter! I'm looking forward to reading it in detail.

Yes! It does. You'll need to show them what makes you such an exceptional candidate that they should call you when you're 900+ miles away! Don't forget, they will probably have many experienced candidate who are there, today, and ready to interview.

Lula, it's difficult to really know what sort of problems you're coming up against without knowing the roles that you're applying for specifically.

Have you considered starting your own blog or website? By doing this, I believe you'll be able to feel more fulfilled, will be able to write and create content, and who knows? This path could actually open doors for you that you never knew existed! Look into growing a social media presence too, sharing your content.…

If it's possible, get some volunteer work or work experience in this field prior to getting into an interview. If, however you do have limited experience in this instance, ensure you know what key capabilities the hiring manager is looking for. Address these in the interview, i.e. show them how you fit the bill (so to…

Yes, I'd be listing all relevant experience. However, some situations require more thought around this. What I mean is, I'd be asking more about why you were leaving, how long you've been in other roles prior to this and what the expectations are from the new employer! I'd use these to decide how best to frame your…

I've actually just answered a similar question :) The things that I suggested were a) send out your resume as much as possible, b) network and build relationships with recruiters... start conversations flowing.. they need to know that you're serious about it.. so this brings me to c) try to actually visit Colorado for…

I'd be sending your resume out as much as you possibly can. Start building relationships with recruiters from other cities. Networking is extremely important in this instance. If it's possible, also get on the ground there as it sometimes helps potential employers and recruiters see that your serious about the move…

Hi Kevin. I think it depends on the sort of relationship you have with your team and your manager. Also, perhaps the length of tenure with an organisation. If, for example you've been in the same role for the last 5 years, and there is no room to grow within the organisation (and your manager is fully aware of this…
