You Got This!

If your job search isn’t moving the way you expected then this episode is for you.

In 45 minutes of straight talk, Uli Schild aka MrCareerTick, career and job search coach to mid and senior level professionals across Australia and New Zealand  works through the 5 most important principles shaping successful job hunters in today’s market.

These aren’t motivational talking points. They are practical, field-tested observations from years of sitting on both sides of the hiring table, and they’re built on how things actually work right now, not how job hunters want them to be.

You’ll hear why accepting your commodity status is the most empowering mindset shift you can make. Why your time ,not your qualifications, is your single most valuable asset during a job search. Why consistency of approach will always outperform volume of applications. And why the job hunters who look after themselves during a search consistently outperform the ones who grind through it.

This episode also covers the complete job hunter toolkit, your resume, your cover letter, your LinkedIn profile, your interview preparation, and the communication details most people overlook until they’ve already cost themselves an opportunity. Including a plain-spoken take on email addresses, voicemail messages, and your social media footprint.

There’s also a section on mindset and reframing, because your attitude during a job hunt is not a soft skill, it’s a competitive advantage. And a practical breakdown of how to use AI in your job search properly, so your submissions sound like you rather than like everyone else using the same tool.

The CareerTick podcasting  is preparing to move into live podcast format. This is one of the last few solo episodes before that transition. If you’ve been meaning to listen, now is a good time to start.

Stick it on during your drive home, your morning walk, or while you’re cooking. No fluff. No HR yoga babble. Just the real mechanics of job hunting in 2026 and beyond.
