From Playdates to Part-Time: Navigating the Career Comeback with Sarah Owen
Ever wondered if you can truly juggle a high-flying career whilst also managing school drop-offs, playdates, and, dare we say, a bit of self-care? Sarah Owen has been there, wrestled with those exact questions, and emerged with some truly golden insights. Sarah, the brilliant Talent Acquisition Partner at Finova, takes us on her personal voyage through the tricky waters of part-time job hunting.
In this chatty episode, Sarah spills the beans on why she's a staunch advocate for flexible working, her own hurdles and triumphs in finding that elusive perfect role, and the unsung heroes of her journey – agency recruiters. Keen to make your LinkedIn profile truly pop? Sarah’s got you covered with her tips straight from the recruiter's desk. And for those considering dipping their toes back into the full-time pool, but secretly pining for part-time, hear how Sarah cracked that very nut at Finova.
We then get down to the nitty-gritty – how to personalise your job application to truly shine, the gentle art of persuading potential employers that you're the real deal, and the critical bit about setting the rules of the game right from the get-go. And just before we wrap, Sarah lets us in on her thoughts about gender equality in the workplace, the responsibility of companies to champion diversity, and a wee bit of advice for all the HR professionals listening on shaping robust DNI policies.
So, whether you're contemplating a return to work post-baby, considering setting up your own gig, or you're an HR pro, this chat with Sarah is like a sit-down with an old mate, sharing those precious pearls of wisdom.
