In this bonus episode of Work It Like a Mum podcast, our very own founder, Elizabeth Willits, goes solo to share 18+ years of recruitment know-how. She’ll walk you through how to write a CV that opens doors, master LinkedIn so opportunities come to you, and ace interviews with confidence, keeping your career momentum strong, even in the quieter months.

Summer break is around the corner, and while the pace of life slows down for many, it can be the perfect time to pause and assess your career progress.

This is the first session of our Momentum Masterclass Series, a six-week programme designed to help you maintain momentum in career growth and job search throughout the slower-paced summer months.

• Keyword tactics to beat ATS and avoid common mistakes
• LinkedIn optimisation: profile tweaks, network building, and smart posting
• Researching companies and interviewers
• Interview prep: STAR method, presentation tips, and thank-you follow-ups
