why they would not hire
you, so you can learn from it

4. 3 IDEAS EXPLAINED
Anet Redmer
The most practical idea (one that could be
easily implemented)
A recruiter service will professionally fine-tune the
interviewee's CV and optimize it for job
applications.
Also knows the job market very well and can
advise on job openings and visa-sponsoring
companies.
Can also explain methods of effective networking
and how to get in touch with the right people.
Can prepare interviewee for interviews.
Engage a
headhunter /
recruiter / career
coach
The most disruptive idea (one that would
make a huge impact, regardless of how
feasible or affordable it is)
Digging the tunnel and integrating a high speed
rail with a travel time of an hour will get the best of
both worlds to the interviewee.
He can be in Australia, the country he wants to
stay in, at the same time he can be with his family
at home in The Netherlands (which he misses
from time to time).
Australian customs will issue him a commuter's
visa.
Best of all: he has two countries to apply for jobs,
double the chance to score the dream job!
Dig a tunnel from
Australia to the
Netherlands and just
commute every day.
(Interviewee is Dutch)
Your favorite idea (one idea that you are
excited about for whatever reason... you don’t
have to justify why)
This is my favorite idea, as the visa issue
motivates the interviewee towards absolute
excellence - to find his own niche within the
coaching business / social science sector he
really cares about and to become one of the best
in his field.
He manages to turn the 'weakness', the 'issue'
into a strength and comes out as a winner of his
complex situation.
A Rock Star knows how to market himself, so he
needs to focus on his own brand and marketing.
Become a Rock Star (Key Person
of Influence) in your field.
Australia will want you to stay.
Everybody will hire you and
sponsor your visa.
