Job seekers and employees with career aspirations across Australia are being given the ultimate advantage with the official launch of Job Toolbox, offering career planning workshops in every capital city across Australia.

Founded by experienced Human Resources professional, Andria Wyman-Clarke, Job Toolbox is offering a unique opportunity for participants to learn key skills from seasoned industry experts with more than a combined 100 years’ of knowledge.

The highly engaging workshops cover key topics that are crucial for career development including how to write a resume, ace an interview and navigate the taboo subject of salary negotiations.

Job Toolbox founder Andria Wyman-Clarke said people are increasingly assessing their career options and are setting goals to improve their career.

“We have designed the Job Toolbox workshops to equip participants with useful tools and practical skills which they can use to confidently apply for jobs to achieve their career goals,” said Ms Wyman-Clarke.

“I know that when people are truly satisfied in their chosen career, their well-being improves and that is a benefit of job satisfaction.”

The Australian Bureau of Statistics August 2016 report stated the total job vacancies in August 2016 were 175,300, an increase of 1.3 per cent from May 2016. Annual job growth accelerated to 6.1 per cent year on year. With the increased vacancies now is an opportune time for people to start planning the next step in their careers.

Ms Wyman-Clarke said people who invest the time to create a career plan are much more likely to succeed in their chosen field.

“Developing a career plan is one of the critical steps to career success and it does not just apply to white collar professionals, it relates to people across all industries and at all stages of their career,” said Ms Wyman-Clarke.

Unlike many other career development options, Job Toolbox is designed for anyone including people seeking career development, parents returning to work, those pursuing a career change, graduates entering the workforce or people who just want a job change.
