“My role was made redundant due to commercial decision; my skills are relevant and have value in the marketplace.”
One of the many takeaways I learned from this webinar. The clear presentation provided good value and helped me change my mindset with regard to what I can bring. Packaged up with the whole series of webinars, I'm learning new skills to become job-ready. All the presenters so far have explained very adequately the essence of how the new world is for the interviewer/ee.
I’m so used to receiving generic information from webinars. What I liked about this one is that it really tackled some of the problems I was experiencing and has given me some practical ideas that I could implement today.
The career opportunities webinar was very informative and provided much-needed insight into the scope of roles available. This is an amazing opportunity, and I will be applying for various roles which I believe I am a good fit for and look forward to the recruitment process. Thank you once again for this opportunity, please know it is much appreciated.
- Virgin Australia Employee

Due to COVID-19 I was recently made redundant, as part of our Outplacement program I have access to the counselling services through Career Money Life, I knew what I was looking for in terms of career counselling and spent some time looking through all available suppliers. It is important when looking for counselling support you find the right fit for your needs and personal values, Helen's profile stood out and resonated with me. I like her positive approach and as soon as we met I knew Helen was the right fit for me. I found her strategies and insights incredibly helpful and very positive. I look forward to continuing my sessions with her.
Thank you so much for assisting both myself and my Brissy training team with their LinkedIn profiles and resume tips. The majority of my team have been with Virgin well over 15 years and felt overwhelmed through this experience. Your encouragement and expertise left them feeling hopeful around career options. The team is really looking forward to the group careers session at BNE airport next week.

The session ended with a positive note as Richard provided some words of encouragement. Would highly recommend him.
