This series follows my journey as I Join the Job Queue for the first time in many years. I seek out people who can help me navigate this new normal - of seeking work in a recession and during a global pandemic. We’ll look at all sorts of job-related stuff – from managing your finances, your wellbeing, and your job applications through to interviews with people who have gone through tough times and have landed on their feet.

episode 9: S1, E9: Come fly with me...but if you can't, will you give me a job?
This latest episode features Qantas pilot turned small business owner Matt Harper, and a very honest conversation about the challenges he faced trying to find a job when the airline industry had been grounded.
What do you do when you can't work in a job you have dreamt about and worked hard to get into since you were a kid, and no-one is willing to see you working as anything else?
This is a story about transferable skills, backing yourself and falling back on those traits of determination that got Matt to the pinnacle of his career in the first place.
We also talk about the importance of a support crew and exercise, with some tips for other jobseekers and employers.
To support Matt and David and their families, visit their business https://automatehome.com.au/
If you are an employer and want to register for the job matching initiative with Qantas contact TalentAcquisitionCampaign@qantas.com.au
Finally, to hear some uplifting tunes while we work this thing out, visit the JTJQ2020 Spotify playlist. Each guest has kindly contributed a song.
