Why Career Rescue NZ...
Hi, I'm Ali. After 25 years in recruitment, I've sat on both sides of the desk for thousands of career conversations. I've interviewed, and coached candidates at all stages of their working lives - and learned that the best candidate for the job isn't always the candidate with the tidiest career history.
I've also spent many hours taking job briefs and talking to hiring managers about the roles they want to fill and the people they would like to meet. I know what makes someone stand out, what creates doubt, and what gives an employer the confidence to make an offer. That insight into both sides of the recruitment process shapes the way I work with clients today.
I also know personally what it's like to be in a workplace that simply isn't right for you - and how quickly that can knock your confidence. Being diagnosed with ADHD at 58 also gave me a new understanding of my own career - the things I'd done well at, the things I'd struggled with, and why my own career hasn't always followed a neat, predictable path.
Career Rescue grew from those experiences. For years I have wanted to create a place where job seekers can share exactly what is happening for them in their workplace, or in their job search. A place where career advice is practical and honest, but also human - where there is room for the setbacks as well as the achievements.
