Unemployment has jumped to the highest level in more than 10 years, following a surprise fall in jobs growth. The jobless rate rose to a seasonally adjusted 6.4 per cent from 6 per cent in June, its highest point since August 2002.
The economy lost 300 jobs in July: While 14,500 full-time positions were added, 14,800 part-time jobs disappeared. The participation rate edged 0.1 per cent higher to 64.8 per cent, which does not explain the jump in the headline unemployment rate.

It makes sense that in today’s tough job market, it's preferable to look for new jobs from the comfort of our current position prior to taking a “leap of faith” into the unknown. This sensible approach prevents us from facing unemployment for extended periods. However to ensure future success when opportunities arise, it needs to be combined with effective packaging of skills and experience to prevent our competitive disadvantage and frustration down the track.

Did you know that talking about yourself in a boasting way is completely foreign to most of us. Therefore, it presents a completely new level of nerves we don’t normally experience.

Customer Feedback
I recently found myself facing an unexpected redundancy and needing to re-evaluate my career. Trans-Civ’s helpful advice and personal guidance was exceptional and resulted in me securing an ideal position for my skills and experience that far exceeded my wildest hopes. Trans-Civ’s interview preparation was ideal and specifically tailored to my needs. It had been well over 25 years since my last job interview and to say that I needed a brush up on my skills was an enormous understatement. I thoroughly recommend spending the time to read through the material that is provided as part of their service. The information pack covered all aspects of the job search process, from CV writing, to guidance on addressing Key Selection Criteria, interview preparation, and even advice on evaluating each job to check that it is right for you before investing time and effort into preparing a professional application. If you are considering a career change, or simply want to refresh your interview and CV writing skills, I thoroughly recommend Trans-Civ as the people to use. Thank you for guiding me through the maze and helping to secure a great future for me and my family.
