📸 A snapshot from today’s Expat Career Management workshop in Singapore!
Whilst so many of the stats and findings from our recent report can feel a little confronting to read, we also know that those that invest in a career plan and their networks are more likely to transition faster and at the right level. Seeing today's group of Aussie expats - who are at the top of their game - come together ready to dig deep on defining their transition plan was encouraging. Knowing they are not alone in how they are feeling was equally powerful.
As always, participants were generous in sharing their stories, networks and insights gathered through their own engagement with the Australian market (including what recruiters and sectors are embracing international experiences).
Thank you to everyone who joined us today— we know the steps you are taking to plan will contribute positively to your expat-repat journey!
Connect with us if you are interested in putting together your own global transition strategy.

‘I was pretty proactive because I knew it was going to be pretty difficult’ is how our latest podcast guest describes his approach to the job market.
Adam Ford was coming home to Australia with a North American finance career but what he really wanted was a role in the for-purpose sector. To achieve this, he knew he had to convince a parochial hiring market NOT to put him in the finance box.
Fast forward a few short years and Adam has successfully swapped boxes.
He is living proof that you can ‘box swap’, but as our conversation demonstrates, you need to get creative, make some strategic steps that might look like sideways before they look upwards, and leave your ego at the door.

If you are an Aussie expat currently overseas thinking you'll figure out the job once you arrive home, chances are 'she’ll be NOT right mate' - especially in this current market.
As much as we love helping repatriates with their careers when they come home, there are some situations where we would advise someone to stay where they are! This month, our article focuses on six mindsets that are reasons not to move…just yet!

Calling all Aussie expats living overseas or recently returned -our Australian Expat Careers Survey is now open!
We first ran the survey in 2022 with 450 Australian expats from more than 50 countries telling us their views on the role job and career plays and has played in the repatriation experience.
We learned how long people spent planning their move, what the biggest challenges were and for those who came home without a job, how fast it took to get one.
Our 2024 survey will tell us what has changed for Australian expats in the job market – and maybe what hasn’t! We also have a few new questions to ask about the role a partner's career plays and if and how returned Aussies are leveraging their international experience.
If you are an Aussie living and working offshore, or returned in the last three years, you can share your thoughts here: https://lnkd.in/gPPF_gRF
And once you've had your say, please share it with your expat partners and mates!

“ You have to give things a go. They may not always make sense, but reconnect with that open-mindedness that you went overseas with because opportunities will present themselves. “
When Bec Macdougall returned to Australia after nine years in London, she never imagined her journey would lead to a rural life in regional Victoria.
Working in brand curation with the likes of Elle Macpherson’s lifestyle brand The Body whilst she was in London, Bec saw first hand how to build and manage a growing portfolio of brands.
Fast forward to today, Bec has successfully built her own . Together with her husband Angus they have restored an historic 1860's workers cottage on their farm and created an award winning farmstay in @dunmore_farm . Her hosted curated events that showcase not just Dunmore but local producers and artisans are fast becoming a save the date in many people's calendars; and their rapidly growing coffee business @thebrandcoffeeco is also a key part of the portfolio.
And just when you thought this dynamo couldn't take on anymore, Dunmore is about to expand to include a coastal getaway in @dunmore_coast
