Here’s a YouTube short which is a reminder, that our #communication skills are valuable in solving others’ problems
It doesn’t matter whether we polished those skills through a career, or during a demanding time we were doing unpaid work as a #carer
Either way, we can use the STAR model to help us spotlight our #skills
I’ve created a PDF summarising these points which you can find by following the link below
A #YouTube #short for Carers Everywhere
Unpaid carers do an amazing job looking after the needs of family and friends.
That can be crucial to the lives of those with physical health issues. Not forgetting people whose care is important on #WorldMentalHealthDay and beyond.
Although caring is demanding, carers may even have paid employment which fits around their volunteer work.
Take a look at the video to be inspired when you use examples of caring skills when applying for paid work. Leave a #Like too, if this helps you and the people you know.
Some people inherit their opportunities and other people spend a long time creating their chances.
If you are over 50 years of age it will be harder to get employers’ attention, as they prioritise attracting recent graduates.
The video should help you think about how to market yourself when the competition may be 20 years your junior.
