Mr Career Tick - Career Coach - Australia & New Zealand

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. Ready for more than a podcast? Career and job search coaching for mid and senior level professionals in Australia and New Zealand.

Stop blaming your ag for a moment. What if the real reason recruiters are skipping your profile isn't your age, but the fact that your digital presence, especially on LinkedIn looks like a museum exhibit or prehistoric fossil? In Episode 3 of the 50+ Career Renaissance podcasts series, we’re tackling the LinkedIn "Fossilisation" trap. Many experienced leaders are effectively invisible to the modern market because they’ve let their LinkedIn profiles become digital statues. You might think you’re playing it safe with that 2019 style resume and corporate jargon, but in reality, you’re strongly signalling to every recruiter and hiring manager that you’ve stopped evolving and your stuck in the past. We’re digging into the five signs of LinkedIn Fossilisation and show you that your online brand is quietly sabotaging your career from the "invisible" activity feed to the outdated "About" section that reads like a corporate template. I’m Uli Schild, and I’m here to help you move from being a digital ghost to a high-value commodity. It’s time to breathe life back into your LinkedIn profile and show the market you have a "2026 brain." #CareerCoach #JobSearchTips #Over50AndThriving #CareerChange #JobSearch #JobSearch AU #MidCareer #JobSearchNZ #MidCareer #ProfessionalDevelopment #CareerAdvice #LinkedInTips #AustralianJobs #MidCareer

If your funeral were tomorrow, what would people truly say about your work and the legacy you left behind? Here is the sobering reality: On average, only 10 people cry at a funeral. And, the number one factor determining how many people attend your burial is the weather. Most of us spend our lives striving and holding it all together, only for the weather to be the deciding factor of our final send-off. This realization brings Uli Schild’s Career Funeral Theory into focus: If so few people will care at the end, why do you care so much about what others think while you are living? This is not a morbid conversation—it's a high-stakes clarity call for senior professionals. In this episode, Uli Schild (@MrCareerTick) and change expert Adrienne Tilley-Lefèvre (@thehumansolarpanel) discuss why holding onto a draining job can be self-sabotage, and how to reclaim your purpose.

Define the "unfinished business" of your career and create a path that is aligned with who you are, not who others expect you to be. You are allowed to want more.
