Episode 11 - What to Invest in on Job Hunting: Options for 3 Different Budgets
As this podcast episode went live on Boxing Day, 2019, I thought it would be an appropriate time to check any sales you can leverage to purchase items or services to invest in your career, especially if you are job hunting. So, in this episode, we look at three budgets, from super low to maxed out, and I let you know what I would recommend you can invest in.
Job Hunting Budget Options:
Up to AU $500 (US $350) Budget
Eventbrite - search for events where you live
Melbourne Knowledge Week (One of my favorite weeks in Melbourne!)
Insight Timer (free meditation app, also has guided relaxation for those days you can't sleep!)
Yoga with Adrienne (YouTube Channel)
Up to AU $1,500 (US $1,050) Budget
All of the above recommendations, plus
Book mentioned: Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman (not as up to date with research as it's from 2012, but a classic)
Up to AU $3,000 (US $2,080) Budget
All of the above recommendations, plus
CEDA events (I mentioned the State of State, but the ones happening early in the year in each state are the Economic and Political Overviews)
The Photo Studio (in Sydney and Melbourne; be ready to have a good time!)
