Hello, I welcome you all once again to my channel Explore Education. I am Dr. Rashmi Singh, Assistant Professor, Department of Education, SS Khanna Girls Ruby College, University of Allahabad and today I am going to discuss with you all a new concept that is distance education, its meaning, scope and need. Durasth Shiksha is ka earth, Vishakshetra or Avishakra and the lecture will be useful for you all, for all of us actually. So let's start first of all meaning distance education ka earth So Durasth Shiksha ka kya aarth hai, Durasth Shiksha, distance education is education, ye kus tari ke ki Shiksha hai, which includes, jiske anter gata hai kya, teaching learning methods, Shiksha na digam vidhya hai isme bhi aingi, but in which learners and instructors are separated by time and space.  One of the major advantages of this education is that individuals can pursue academic programs and achieve the desired outcomes even while residing at a distance. Iska ek laa bhi ho sakhta hai ki maan li ji hum Igmu se pahai karna chata hain, but hum Delhi ja kariya, waha ja kar nahi kar sakhte, hum door hai, hum Igmu bohut door kahe remote area mein raita hain, toh hum doori se bhi, door rahe ke bhi, ko academic program, course pursue kar sakhte ho, and desired outcome ko mil sakhta. Ye kis ka sbse badaf aida hai. The transaction of the curriculum is effective using specially prepared material. Toh curriculum kya se transact kiya jayega, part of the program aapka kya kise pocha hai jayega, iske diye banana patta hai, kya banana patta hai, specially prepared material. Goh, samagri, viseh shroop se, viseh shikrit samagri banayi jaati hai, jisko ke SLM ya SSM bhi, self-learning material ya self-study material, jesse aap khud par sakin, that are delivered to the learners through various media. Aur wo juh sikhne wala hai usta kise pocha hai jayega, bohut sare media is main wall, boh ne jase print ho sakta hai, television ho sakta hai, radio, satellite, audio, video tapes, CD, ROMs ho sakta hai, internet, world wide web and so on. Yeh kii, chuki aap door hain. Okay? Aur hum teacher aap ke pas hai nahi, toh kise pahingya aap ke liye, hum ne banaria SLM banaria, self-learning material banaria, aur wo aap tak hum transact kise keringi, iske liye jayse jayse technology involve hoti ki, viseh-viseh, hum media istimhaal kate gaya. Shroo aati daur mein print, phil, television ke through broadcast ho aap, radio pe broadcast ho aap, satellite channel bane shiksha kariye, audio, video tapes bane CD, ROMs ho aap jabse internet aap gaya, tabse toh aap within the second jayse hi upload kya jayega, viseh hi aap ko mil jayega, toh ish tari ke ki takni ki, iske maal kati hai. Hence it can be stated that the use of technology has rendered a significant contribution in facilitating distance education. Iske hum kihar sakte hai, ki dooras toh shiksha ko facilitate karne mein, technology ne bohat bari bhoomi ka nibhaya hai, takni ki ne. Aur jayse jayse takni ki evolve hoti gayi, viseh-viseh, distance education bhi bhihtar hota gaya. Communication between institutions, instructors and learners is through electronic media.  Kyaise aap tak hum batayenge ki aap ko kab apna assignment sabmit karna hai, aapka result kab deklair ho gaha, aapke examinations, remote mode wake up hoonge, uske li telephonic services rahi phir interactive radio aaya, phir teleconferencing ho nahi door bathe baat ho sakte hi hai, phir videoconferencing, door bhi bathe hain par ek usse ko dek soon bhi sakte hi hai, chat sessions jaltah hi hai, aap toh email toh hai hi, websites hoti hai ase institutions ki and so forth. Aur viseh ki taraya haage. The distance education is an outcome of certain socio-historical compulsions and technological growth. Toh kya kya kya sakte hi hai, ki dooras toh shiksha kiska palinam hai, kiska outcome hai, jo samajik etihasi khampe compulsions hai, abhi dekhine kya hai, ye samajik etihasi compulsions, aur jayse jayse takhneki ne apna apni growth ki, apni pridhi ki, viseh viseh distance education evolve hota raya. Toh agar definition dekhi toh bohat sari hai, par yeh jo keegan ki definition hai, bohot comprehensive hai, usne koi bhi poin chhoda nahi hai, toh ahme si ko samaj liye toh distance education ko samaj hain hai. It offers a comprehensive definition of distance education that encompasses all the essential elements, iske antarghat, iske sabhi aavashyakta toh aate hai, he defines distance education as a form of education characterized by. Yani ki keegan ne kaha ki duraste shiksha ek ish prakara ki shiksha hai, iske me ye viseh bohn hota hain. Convince goon, pehla hai ki di quasi permanent separation of teacher and learner, dekhi permanent separation hi hai, quasi laga diya toh ardhik samaj satte hai, ki permanent li separate nahi hai teacher and learner, dekhi aadhe rupse, anshi rupse separated hai, throughout the length of the learning process. Dab tak aapka course chalega, aadhigam prapya chalegi, tab tak jo learner hai, jo teacher hai, jo teacher hai. So, iske anshi kya agar rupse separated hoga, distinguishes it from conventional face-to-face education, aur yahi isko vibheh bhi krith karta hain, bishisht banata hain, goh education jo hum college mein, school mein, face-to-face board mein patne hain usse. Fe, the influence of an educational organization, both in the planning and preparation of learning materials, and in the provision of student support services, that distinguishes it from private study and teach yourself programs. Yi kaya raha hai ki, phir hum kaha hai ki, yeh private study hai, ya teach yourself program hai to kere nahi. Kyuki isme jo student support services hum aapko provide karte hain, goh isko vishesh banata hain, private study se. Matlab ki teacher aur learner door hai, yeh isko vishesh banata hain, vibhehd karta hain, paramparik shikshan padadhi se. Phir yeh jo hum aapko student support services provide karte hain, yani ki, vidyadhi ki sahayata ke liye jo services diyati hain, self-learning material ke rukh mein, planning ke rukh mein, bohot saari, is tarike se, wo isko private tutor se alakarta hain, private tutoring se, ya teach yourself programs se. Phir, the use of technical media, print, audio, video, or computer to unite teacher and learner and carry the content of the course, the provision of two-way communication so that the student may benefit from or even initiate dialogue, this distinguishes it from uses of technology and education. Phir, yeh kaha hain ki phir yeh shikshan mein takhniki kyu nahi hain. To kaha hain ki, chuki isme jo hum ne yeh takhniki ka istimal zaroor kaha hain. Lekin isme yeh takhniki, shikshan mein takhniki se kis pukhaha bhin hain ki isme learner jo hain, boh dialogue initiate bhi kar sakta hain. Maal, yeh koi chat session hain. Zaroori nahi yeh ki, hameisa teacher ispe message kari, bacha pukh sakta hain, yeh kya hain, kese hain, koi doubt hain, koi clarification hain. Toh, technology and education se, yeh sprakar bhin hain. Matlab iske visheshikrit vata hain, ki yeh paramparik shikshan se bhin hain, yeh private shikshan se bhin hain, private tutoring se bhin hain, yeh shikshan mein takhniki se bhin hain. Aur, the quasi-permanent absence of the learning group is very taught as individuals, and not in groups with the possibility of occasional meetings for both didactic and socialization purposes. Yeh kaya rahe hain ki chuki, har bacha apne hi saab se sif rahe hain, jo peer group hain bo apas me milta julta nahi hain, toh iss tari ke se aisa lagta hain, ki yeh individual study hain, group study nahi hain. Lekin, kabhi-kabhi, occasionally, kabhi-kabhi, semester me ek doh baar, hain iss tari ke ki, jo yeh centers hain, bo meetings koal karte hain, jis me aapas me bo, jo satra hain, jo bacha hain, jo ek, ek hi satra main role hain, wo ik dhushne se mil saki hain, aur unka socialization, samaji karan ko saki hain. Toh yeh khaz baat hain, koi bhi baat ki egan ne chodi nahi hain, asli yeh definition pare aapht hain. The scope. Need, kar pere tha, scope isar pehle hain, koi baat hain. Vishakshetra kya aas ka? Kisse, matlab kya aas ka, leena dena kisse hain? Toh vidhi advancements in communication and educational technology, and the development of the distance education system as a whole, there has been an enhancement in accessibility, equality, and quality of education for all. Abhi ye baat ki jaar hi hai ki, sabhi tak shikshaki pahoch ho, samta moolak shikshah ho, aur samanta puna shikshah ho, sab tak shikshah ho, aur gunvata puna shikshah ho. Toh yeh kyaise ho sakta hai, jab distance education mein, evolved hua, jab communication and educational technology evolved hui, toh. Distance education at present has a lot of potential. Toh jo nurasthe shikshah hai, uske entagati yeh capability hain, yeh shakti hain, ki wo uska scope kahan tak hai, ussabhi logotap, jinn ke, jinn, matlab jinn, ko kya zahurat hai, who do not have access to conventional education. Uska scope kis ke liye hai, ki jo, paramparik shikshahan patati se nahi par sakta hai, koi bhi dikkat hai, kisi bhi tari ke ki, uske liye, who are deprived of proper educational facilities, jinn ke paas proper shakshik subidhahi nahi hai, koi remote area hai, koi tribal area hai, bahut door hai, unke ghar se, school colleges. Unke liye, who could not continue their education in those students, those participants, those individuals, jo paramparikshahan sansthaan hume, apni shikshah ko continue nahi kar sate, koi bhi dikkat hai, koi dikkat, koi bhi maari ho bhi hai, koi, matlab, koi bhi problem of sabhat sate hai, family bay mein hai, koi institution mein, koi ghar mein, issareki ki baat ho bhi hai, usko noqway, bahai bhees mein chor nahi par rhiye, ussabhi ke liye, who are unemployed and want to continue their education from their home itself, jo unemployed hai, lekin uske baat bhi, ki ghar se hi par likh liye, humko aana jaana nahi pade, koi baat aane jaan, bhai, koi baat main hi, missuske hai, ki students, isli bhi nahi aate, school colleges ki, unke paas apne payase nahi, ki baat roj roj, aane jaane ka, kya hai besake hai, fir unke liye bhi hai, who are employed and want to improve their educational qualifications, aur unke liye, jo kahi, involve hai, koi nopri karte hai, lekin koi apni, shakshi konwatta, qualification baat haana chate hai, unke liye, nopri chhoreke toh, conventional education ke liye, toh, nopri chhoreni padegi, toh, ye toh, ke liye posibil nahi hai, aur, who wants to pursue general vocational, professional, or technical education, outside the conventional system, aur kahi logan, genko ye, flexibility chahi hai, jo, fixed, mode mein nahi par sakte hai, nahi, hum, issi same exam nahi denge hai, hum, todham ko, flexibility chahi hai mode, toh, unke liye, toh, in sabhi prakara ke, logun ke liye, durasth shikshah, ek bahut achhoy ek matravikalb hai, you can say, toh, inka diskas ko, yehahan tath hai, phir neat, aur shikta kya hai, si, kya aam shikta padeeg, as a welfare state, the government of India is obliged to provide free education to all children up to the age of 14 years, as per article 45 of the Indian constitution. Ye sbko pata hai, ab ish par baat ho chuki hai, ki hum, madlab government of India, kar tabh ye badh hai, Bharat sir ka hai, ki chawta vashta ke, sabhi bachche ko, free aur compulsory, aur quality education degi, toh, bach saare program chalaya gaya, jay say, UEE chalaya gaya, universalization of elementary education, EFA chala, education for all, these are the launch way. How will the situation is far from satisfactory, but abhi bhi hum, Santosh Janak sthiti se bahut dooh hai, in the higher education sector, the situation is no different, aur yahi haal, uchya shikshah ka, bhi hai, yaha par bhi hai isthiti hai, ki Santosh Janak nahi hai, kya ho raha hai, there has been an increase in demand for higher education over the years, agar aap data otha kar dekhi, toh, aap ye paayenge ki, bhi teweh varshome bahut, maang badhi hai, uchya shikshah mein, roll hone baale students ki, more and more people are not able to have access to higher education due to various reasons, dekin bahut saare log hain, jo uchya shikshah mein, matabin roll nahi opate, pohch nahi hai, ondak, toh kya kare, the rationale or need for distance education under three specific areas, toh hum kaha hai saktin hai, ki jo rationale hai, jo uske piche tarak banta hai, doorashta shikshah kere, jo uski abhishakta hai, uske piche, vishesh karaan ho saktin hai, kone kone se, pehla the problem of growing numbers and limited access to education, pahne baalon ki sankhya badh rahi hai, aur institution uske, usse hizaap se nahi badh rahin hai, aur toh pohch, jo hai, ho seemeet ho gayi hai, toh pohch badhane ke liye, quality of education, jo traditional education system hai, jo conventional institution se, bo abhi bhi, utni badhiya quality provide nahi kar rahin hai, toh quality ke liye, aur relevance, jo, jo curriculum hai, bo up to date nahi hai, jo shikshah dijari hai, relevant nahi hai toh iske bhi hai, toh ye 3 chee se hi, matap, access to education, quality of education, and relevance of education ke liye, dooras toh shikshah ki aavashakhti hai, aya bhi, ek karke dekhayate hai, access, quality, and relevance, access meh ghar dekhayate hai, toh according to, all India's survey on our higher education, ash, for 2020-2021, yani ki bahut purana data nahi hai, the student enrollment ratio in higher education scale, from 0.7% in 1950-51, to 72.56% in the UG level, 15.7% in the graduate level, and 27.1% in the doctorate level, yani ki aap paayenge, ki kitna tremendous expansion hua hai, the system has expanded around 17 times in terms of universities, 31 times in terms of colleges, and 15 times in terms of gross enrolments since independence.    Okay, so it is all about the distance education, aur abhi doh ek, doh bhi view aur hongi, tab distance education ka course kabar hota. Okay, so I have completed this very topic. Thank you and don't forget to like and subscribe my channel, Explore Education. I have done from my side.


Aloha and welcome back to another episode of The Savvy Chick Show on Think Tech Hawaii. I'm your host, Chantel Seville. Now today I'm very excited because I want to help you land your dream job and live the life you've always imagined and that's why I've invited, to the show today, the extraordinarily talented career coach, Kylie Butler. She's all the way from Sydney, Australia. Now before I introduce her, I'd just like to share a bit more with you about what you can expect in this episode. So we'll firstly learn about Kylie's journey to becoming a career coach and founding inspired careers. Secondly, we'll find out a bit about what careers are out there that you might not have heard of and probably weren't around when your parents were your age, no matter how old you are. And then we'll go on to some success stories that you too can realize that your dreams are possible. So Kylie will share some success stories of her clients. And last but not least, and most importantly, do stay tuned for the whole episode because in the second segment, Kylie's going to share all kinds of her wealth of knowledge, tips and tricks about how you can land your dream job. So without further ado, welcome Kylie. Thank you. Thank you for having me on the show. I'm very excited. I'm very excited. Ever since we met, you know, a while back there, I was just so inspired because, you know, I'm all about bringing out the best in people and really wanting them to live their purpose, their dream job, but that's not my, my purpose is not exactly to coach them there. So it is yours. And that's why I thought who better to get on the show than Kylie so we can all get on track, whether you're 12 and don't know what you want to do or 50 and wanting to change careers. I know you're the woman that can help. So can you please share how did you start your journey? Wow. OK, well, let me try and make this story brief because it's a little bit of a long story because, yeah, I've got 20 years experience now. I often just say that kind of say 15 plus, but it's actually five. Since you were five, you're 25 now. So my journey, my journey actually started in recruitment. So agency recruitment and I started out with very altruistic motive. So I really wanted to help people, but for most people who work with recruitment agencies, you'll kind of find that that's not really the nature in which many of them kind of operate. So I spent a few great years, though, doing agency recruitment, placing people in jobs. And I love that. And then gave the travel bar kidney went overseas. I worked in London, in Dublin, I worked in Rome. I moved into generalist recruitment and then generalist HR, learning and development. I worked on grad recruitment development programs, came back to Australia, but wanted to get more into internal work because recruitment can be quite sales based. And then I worked within businesses on strategic talent acquisition and I kind of worked my way up and I found there was a real values misalignment with one of the companies that I was working crazily for. And I thought, OK, well, how else can I take my talents to the world? You know, I have all these skills and I know exactly what it takes to get to be the selected as the top candidate. How can I use my skills for good and not evil? So that's when I launched Inspired Careers. And I started out doing some coaching and I was also consulting to businesses at the same time, helping them with their recruitment and their selection processes. And I got lured back into the corporate world and took on a couple of big HR leadership roles, one for a global social media business and another one for comms. And then the universe gave me a little bit of another nudge and said, no, you need to be taking your talents to the world in a different way. And I relaunched Inspired Careers. And yes, so that's that's what I do now. So I help people get basically kind of my clients fall into two camps. Firstly, people who really want to get clear on the type of role that is really going to light them up from the inside. So whether they're, you know, you know, at school at uni, recent grads, changing careers, getting back into the workforce after having children or or there's people who just want to get savvy with their job search. So rather than kind of fishing around in the kind of the job pools and trawling through the job sites, they want to get really clear and know how to do a competency based interview, know what a great CV looks like and just get out there and get their dream job. So I help them with that. And then I also do a lot with LinkedIn as well. So I've got another standalone site which develops with a team of writers that sit behind it that develop LinkedIn profiles, because that's an incredibly powerful way to to now get found for work. So kind of cut out that whole terrible hunting process. And yeah, I think that the LinkedIn profiles, I can't wait to share that a little bit more in the in the second segment because really, I mean, the days of trying to hunt and look for something you don't know what it is.  So if you can be who you are and people could find you for that, that's revolutionary. So it really onto something with that for sure with with all the different careers you've seen, because I know, especially young people, they're kind of thinking they don't know what they want to do because they don't realize the extraordinary amount of careers and types of careers are out there. So can you share some that you've seen on, you know, some titles and just the most interesting ones that perhaps can open people's minds to what's really out there for them and perhaps even where they might find them? Look, there is so there are so many new roles. I mean, firstly, there's obviously a lot in the digital space because, you know, 20, 30 years ago, I mean, we're only just kind of moving into having computers on our, you know, our own PCs at work. So and obviously the World Wide Web has happened. So there are so many digital roles, but also so many specialist roles. So even if I think so, like in every single area, so when I tell people that I work on employment branding, they're like, employment branding, like that's a job. But some of some of the exciting roles that I that I've recruited for and that I know of and that I know people that are in creative technologist, that's a that's a great one. It's a little mix between kind of strategy, IT, marketing, a community manager. So lots of fun roles in social media, lots of great ones there. So managing, so, for example, Coca-Cola have a Facebook page. You know, it's not somebody could go or maybe someone from Coca-Cola, but it's it's not it's often outsourced to an agency that would do that. So people manage communities across different social channels, connections designer, SEO specialist, an app developer path. You can be a big data analyst. People loved it really into their data these days and find insights, sustainability director, obviously, with the move towards really caring for the environment. And a lot of Gen Ys really it's important for them in their job choice that an organisation has a sustainability policy. So you could be internally as a sustainability director within a large corporate. You could be a blogger. So like blogger, but video, you could be a blogger. But that's I mean, everyone knows about bloggers. You could be a blogger. You could be a UX designer. So designing the user experience on websites. Yeah, there are so many exciting new jobs out there. And that's even that's in digital. And as you've said, that's that's where a lot of where society is going. For someone who is looking at doing one of these jobs, like, where do they actually even find them? Or what do they study to get to them? Or how does that work?  So that's the interesting thing because we used to have these kind of quite linear parts, you know, people talked about, you know, the career ladder and you kind of went up, up, up in this direction. But now it's kind of more of a matrix. We kind of go across and we leave our way across. And so, I mean, in terms of the tech roles, there's obviously, you know, you can do a, you know, IT degree at uni. And then there are specialist courses at different colleges around some of the specific skills. You'll find that there are certainly in Australia and across the world, the specialist as these new roles are emerging. There are more, not so much universities. They can still give you some great core skills, but there are lots of different learning institutions that will are giving you kind of specific, give you some of those specific skills. But sometimes it's really about learning on the job. I think the smarter, more progressive employers look more for attitude than skill because you can always train technical skill. If somebody has self-awareness and learning agility, then, you know, they can learn those skills. So attitude still is more and more important. And the smarter employers are getting a lot better at interviewing for competencies such as self-awareness, learning agility, your ability to develop relationships, your ability to have, you know, analytical skills if it was a big data role, looking for those core competencies more than the technical skills, and then you can get trained in those. And the great thing about that is actually you get self-development.  So that's I mean, I think that's a good thing for people in general, as you and I are both passionate about people. So that's absolutely. Well, I mean, Google's always put up as kind of the big example. But they have developed an internal program that was developed by an engineer could search inside yourself. And that is all about meditation and how you bring it into the workplace. So I'm essentially training your mind. And so, I mean, yeah, the progressive employers are very, very focused on personal development. Because I mean, if you're really smart, if somebody's I mean, for it's a smart strategy for an organisation because they're investing in you and then you mean you invest in them. Or it makes you stickier as an employee, more likely to stay with them. So that investment kind of they get to benefit from. And and yeah, you are getting you are developing more as a person and you're a better person working in their in their workplace, more engaged, getting along better with people. And I just wanted before we have the breaks, we've got a little bit of time. But before the break, I want I'd love if you could share some success stories, perhaps of your clients that have gone from doing a completely different career or someone who's just new, knew what they wanted to land at a dream job. Any exciting stories you can share so people could relate to perhaps realising their dreams are possible? Yeah, sure. I mean, I because obviously we had we had a bit of a chat before we came online. I'm thinking, oh, which story should which client should I should I talk about? Because there are so many interesting journeys that as I said, you know, there's some exciting new roles out there now, too. If I think of one of my one of my clients, she studied law. And I think that it was probably her parents who gave her a little bit of a nudge that that's what she needed to do. But she really was passionate about writing. So these days, a lot of people don't necessarily need to have a journalism degree anymore to actually get a writing job. So she just started applying for jobs that she saw on a there's a, you know, a fun site called Pedestrian in TV here in Australia, which has got lots of creative roles on it and yet picked up a job doing some writing and then picked up another role doing some legal editing.  I think it's anyone who has chosen that path. But she's got this now this blend of doing some more kind of creative writing and using her legal editing skills. I've got another another great little story. She studied psychology and then got her foot in the door in a was was trying to get into HR initially, because that's where she thought she'd take her psych skills and couldn't find a job, got an internship from that internship, got a foot in the door, a really great business and then thought, oh, no, I actually like social media. So she'd moved over and did another internship in social and yeah, and now got a job as a as a social media manager. So that all happened relatively, relatively fast for her. Another great story. One of my favorite clients full time. She shouldn't have papers, you know, I mean, we're not mentioning names. So it's OK. I mean, that said, I feel really blessed because I do get to work with a lot of amazing people because the type of people who really want to invest in themselves and get really clear on what it is that drives and what are their values and what talents they have to bring to the world are generally, you know, a pretty great people. And so this particular client studied fashion and journalism. And and she was a little bit like, oh, where do I go with this? Where do I take these skills? And and she moved into doing fashion writing. She worked for one of the really big online ASOS, one of the big online fashion retailers. And yeah, and she's just kind of just gone gangbusters with her career from there, getting headhunted all over the place. It's so interesting, like the different stories that you tell of the different paths, as you mentioned, and especially the psychology one, that's quite interesting. Psychology to social media, you think, where are the. But really, I mean, when I studied marketing, buyer behavior is huge. So if you can understand the psychology of people. Imagine how much that brings to the social media space that the other candidate going for that position who might even have experience in social media doesn't know. So that's that's really interesting. Yeah, like even the psychology of social sharing, you know, like it's fascinating, you really need to get into the buyer's mind to understand, you know, to put together a really smart strategy in that space. So yeah, although it wouldn't seem like a really kind of natural link when you first think about it, it really, really does make sense. And there are a lot of connections like that. That's obviously just one. And this way, when you can obviously when you see your clients or you see people and meet them, you can actually probably see what their talent is and relate it to another career that they might not even thought of or heard of. But yet they're so perfect for it. And I think that that's the beauty of you and your skill and what you do. Because you can bring out these hidden talents and people that are actually their biggest shining talent. And that's when you do now that you've started doing the LinkedIn profiles and doing your coaching courses online and all these different types of things just to open people's minds. So that's something that excites me so much.  So sometimes I'll see someone and they've gone down a particular path. They've got really strong analytical skills and and they're also got a bit of sales skills like commercial finance analyst. Perfect. So yeah, there are some amazing new roles out there. And yeah, lots of opportunities to get excited because there's you can take your skills to the world in so many different ways now rather than, you know, before you think, OK, finance accountant. OK, and that and that and that's what you did. But now there are so many other, you know, new and exciting ways that you can use, take those accounting skills. Yeah, out into the world. And what's even more new and exciting is what we're going to do after the episode when we come back and share all your tips and tricks and knowledge and how we can get to living and having our dream jobs like this one. And with that, be sure if you like, you can always tweet us or you can give us a call in the Think Tech Hawaii hotline and ask our specialist, Kylie, some questions because she's not that accessible unless you're her coaching client. So be sure to take this opportunity and we'll look forward to seeing you after the break. Hello, I'm Marianne Sasaki. Welcome to Think Tech Hawaii, where some of the most interesting conversations in Honolulu go on. I have a show on Wednesdays from one to two called Life in the Law where we discuss legal issues, politics, governmental topics and a whole host of issues. I hope you'll join me. Aloha. My name is Danelia Dane, L-I-A. And I'm the other half of the duo, John Newman. Welcome. We are co-hosts of a show called Keys to Success, which is live on the Think Tech Live Network series weekly on Thursdays at 11 a.m. We're looking forward to seeing you then. Aloha. For a very healthy summer, watch Viva Hawaii. We are here live on Mondays at 3 p.m. And we bring guests like our best health coach, Elena Maganto. Eat well and follow her tips. Viva la comida saludable. Aloha. Welcome back to the second segment of the Savy Chicks TV show. We're here every Wednesday at 11 a.m. Honolulu time. So be sure to watch us. And also if you miss an episode or if you're just catching us, be sure to go to the Savy Chicks website. You can see all the previous episodes there, as well as the Think Tech Hawaii YouTube. You can see all of what Think Tech Hawaii does there, too. So welcome back, Kylie Butler. We're going to talk more about careers and how to land your dream job and basically be the best person you be and live a life you love. So let's let's get back to it, Kylie. OK, well, now what I want to know, what everyone wants to know, what are some good tips, tricks, some knowledge you can share to really get everyone inspired to want to go out there. And, you know, if they're in a mundane job or they're not sure what they want to do when they finish school to really get them thinking about the next steps. OK, sure. So the first thing that I would suggest anyone does is get really clear on who they are and then what they want. So often people when they find themselves in a position where they're like really unsure about what that next career move should look like or even what that next job should look like. If you clear on your kind of career path, generally that uncertainty becomes because there is a lack of clarity around who you are often. So sometimes it's just really about connecting back into who you are and what really matters to you. And this is also something that I see quite often when people have unsuccessful job searches in terms of unsuccessful as they don't find the career or the job they're after or they do find it. But it's not one that satisfies them is they skip this piece of work. And that is around getting really clear on who you are, what your values are, what your unique talents are, what your passions are and really what lights you up from the inside. So there are many ways to do this. One is firstly, if you don't have a daily meditation practice, I would say get clear on that because you do need some time to be really still with yourself to really connect to your inner insight and wisdom to get clarity over what really matters to you. So often when I I've got a podcast myself and often when I interview people, I joke and say sometimes it's like I scripted these podcasts because all of these successful people tell the same story around. They had this moment at this particular minute where they had this epiphany and it was when they got really clear. They were it was like a sunset moment or something where they were right in right in that present moment and totally connected to who they are. And that's when they got real clarity around the decision they were making with the right one, what decision to make. You know, so firstly, get still and get really clear connected to who you are and your inner wisdom. And then you need to put pen to paper or, you know, tap on the keyboard. Some people say it's it's better actually writing these things down. But whatever works for you, use an app, whatever. But get far and out. Firstly, what your values are. Now, you can do if you can even do some good because there's free values assessments online all over the shop, but get really clear on what your core values are, because with any role, that's something that you can't compromise on. So if your top value is being honest or it's integrity, then if you go to work for an organisation and your boss is just a little bit dodgy or a little bit shippy, you're never going to feel comfortable there.  Then, you know, that actually doesn't matter so much. And you know what? It is important that you get the corner office. But often people go into the job search too early without getting clear on these things and they get dazzled by what's shiny and new.  I mean, I have these perks, fantastic. But they didn't factor in that really work like balance is more important to them because, you know, they've got the kids or all they're planning to have children or whatever it is. So firstly, take the time out to get really clear on what your values are. What what puts you in flow? Like, when do you get really lost in a task? Think about moments in your life in work or outside of work where you just get so caught up that the joy is not necessarily about the outcome of the task, but the actual task itself, you get like immense joy from. So when are you in flow? What are your values? What what do you want to be when you were younger?  You know, what did you really want to be something? I mean, there are lots of different schools of thinking, but sometimes people say at about eleven, what did you want to be? So call your mum, text your mum now and say, well, when I was little, you know, what did I want to be or what was unique about me? Was it you were playing or whatever? You know, for some people, it's very clear. I did a podcast interview the other day with a girl who is a who is a singer and a musician. And she said that she got a saxophone when she was really young and went off and taught herself basically all of the nursery rhymes and then came back, sat her mum down and gave her a show.  We need to do a bit of soul searching on, you know, really what does excite us and what lights us up from the inside. What unique talents do we have? You know, what do we get really passionate about? What are our interests? Now, I will also throw out a little bit of a disclaimer here and say it's not quite as straightforward as just follow your passion. Oh, you love cooking. Yay. You know, open up, start cooking from home and run your own business. You know, that might not work if you're somebody who's very risk averse. So you need to get really clear on these things that really matter to you because running your own business, even if you are an incredibly talented cook, requires a whole different skill set. So firstly, get really clear and then make that decision. OK, well, what do I love about cooking? Well, I love, you know, coming up with the concepts for new ideas or how can you apply that to your career and then also use some of your other competencies? So you might be great at sales and business development, but you'll get a role where ideation is part of the role. So it doesn't need to be really as linear as, you know, you know, I paint, I'm going to be a painter. You know, you can how do you take those creative skills to the world? And that's where I can kind of help with that. So get clear on the values, get clear on your passions. When will you inflow? What are your unique skills? And then look at the current marketplace and look at potential applications for those. So, yeah, you can work with a coach or you could, you know, talk to recruiters, you can do your own desktop research in terms of how you take those talents to the world. That's the first thing I would say. The next thing I would say is also when you go to actually, so you're ready, you're pretty clear on what the few of those kind of career options would be, you know, what lights you up from the inside, then, you know, be savvy, don't just kind of mill around in the job boards. Firstly, put it out there, put it out there to the universe. So tell people what you're looking for. Networks are so powerful. I've got a kind of dual relationship with the word networking because the old school kind of idea of networking where people are kind of, you know, flinging around business cards at, you know, at events, I'm so...  I don't, because that's all, and that's where, when anybody approaches a networking kind of event or activity with, I'm going to sell myself, that doesn't work. You've got to go to any of these kind of opportunities to meet other people and say, well, and listen, and learn about other people and say, well, how can I help you and connect to other people and say, you know, put it out there, this is what I'm looking for. And I think that way, when you go into, well, like any relationship, it's, you know, it's not all about me, me, me, me, and can you help me. It's, you know, how can I help you and how can I connect to you? And so I think first, you know, put it out there and get out there.  And sometimes somebody might not be looking for, whatever that role is that you're looking for right now, a marketing manager, but then you put it out there and they're like, actually, well, we were gonna recruit for one of those in, you know, six months. We think you'd be perfect for our company because often people, smart organisations are looking for cultural fit as well.  So if you just put it out there, you'd be amazed what opportunities arise. And then if you are actually doing, you know, active recruitment on the job boards and applying for jobs, then get a CV that look good on paper in person and online.  And so if you don't have your security settings locked down on Facebook, then that could be a problem. It's amazing how many people have missed out on opportunities because their online profile, you know, nobody needs to see you to Bucks or a Hands Party, you know. So just Google yourself, see what comes up, lock down those settings on your personal social networks and make sure that LinkedIn is generally the first or second, even if you've got your own webpage, the Google algorithm seems to pick up LinkedIn and it's only one of the top search results. So make sure your LinkedIn profile is really great. We can get to that. I can talk to more LinkedIn strategy, but firstly, just clean it up, make sure that you do the good online. There's nothing there that is compromising with your CV. Get it done by a graphic designer. If you have a CV that's in the Times Roman font, don't even bother sending it out, basically, because for anyone who screams lots of CVs, when you see a CV like that, they haven't even changed from the generic font.  So it really doesn't matter.  Not very long. It's the same with CVs, they've got to look good.  But when it comes to appearance, I mean, we're putting up your websites now and for those of you who are hung on the show, like I am, glued, wanting to hear the next thing she's gonna say, I guess that means you're gonna have to go to the website and connect with her and you can always message and add to your communities and check out. You have lots of free resources where you can offer more information that we haven't. The LinkedIn profiles, be sure to, when you go on the Inspired Careers website, be sure to link to her LinkedIn profiles because I just think that they are incredible and a great way to invest, especially if you don't want to spend a lot on a new website but you know your talent, you want to get out there. Just a really quick, because we are gonna wrap up, what is your best advice for a young woman who's either in school, like school, high school, any sort of thing, how to follow just a real quick snippet, how to follow their passion? How to follow their passion, take time out to get really clear on what your values are, what matters to you and invest in your own personal growth. Your growth from the internally, your personal development will be reflected in the outside world. So if you invest in that confidence and self-belief, then the world is your own stuff. Oh, you're so amazing. I absolutely love it. Give me goosebumps. Thank you so much for being on the Savvy Chick Show today. For those of you who love this, watch her again. You know, watch this replay because it's one of the best shows we've done and you've offered so much knowledge. So thank you so much, Kylie. We'll have you again soon and look forward to seeing you in Sydney. My pleasure. Look forward to seeing you too. Hello.


Under Australian law, in order to provide immigration assistance, you must either be a registered migration agent or exempt from registration. The Department of Immigration and Citizenship investigates complaints of unlawful assistance. If you are not registered or exempt and help someone in their dealings with the department, make sure you know what you can and cannot do. You can help with clerical work, translating or interpreting, advising someone they need a visa or passing on information received from another source. You can't tell them what visa to apply for, how to apply for the visa, or use your experience in immigration processes to help them. Immigration investigation officers can be sent to your workplace or home. Officers from the Federal Police can execute warrants to find evidence to be used for prosecution.  The penalties are serious. If prosecuted, you are liable for fines and jail terms. Advertising that you give immigration assistance, the penalty is up to two years imprisonment. Charging a fee or reward for providing immigration assistance, the penalty is up to ten years imprisonment. Falsely representing that you are a registered migration agent, the penalty is up to two years imprisonment. For giving immigration assistance when you are not a registered agent, the penalty is up to $6,600. Unregistered agents can also be issued with on-the-spot fines. Failure to pay the fine could result in prosecution. Multiple fines can be issued to the same offender. Always ask an agent if they are registered with the office of the MARA, that is, the Migration Agents Registration Authority. You are unsure you can check online at www.mara.gov.au If you use an unregistered person and they submit false documents with your application, you could have your visa cancelled and ultimately be removed from Australia involuntarily. If you know of someone who is operating illegally as an unregistered migration agent or if you are a victim, report it to the department. Go to the department's website and tick the box for unregistered agent activity. Or you can call our DOB in line on 1800 009 623.
