Employers are frequently asking me to 'head hunt' candidates for available management roles.

In these situations I source all candidates from our database of registered professionals. In particular, I rely on the details you provide in the 'About me' section of our registration process. This tells me where you want to work, your main qualifications, your experience and your desired roles.

If you are interested in being approached about some brilliant management roles, remember to update your details on our system.

As ever, please contact me if you have any questions.

Our intention is to make finding your next and best industry opportunity easier. To this end, our latest feature is one of our BEST YET! From our home page you can now search our entire database for opportunities that suit you based on a keyword which also includes suburbs and employer names. Click on the 'Keyword search' link on our home page, start typing in a word and the system will provide relevant matches. You select the most appropriate one and VIOLA! Any relevant jobs, employer profiles or business/franchise opportunities will be listed.

Furthermore, if you happen to select a suburb and we have more opportunities within 5km of your selection, a 'See also' feature will appear, letting you know there are other opportunities that may be of interest. Any feedback on this new feature is welcome (either email me or add a comment to this blog).

Throughout 2010 there has been a big increase in the number of employers accessing our lists of candidates. If you are looking for the next step in your career, moving to a new state or ready for the next management role that becomes available, get your details on HealthyPeople. When listed, we send an email to all employers in the locations nominated by you. You can block employers and you will receive an email with contact details if anyone downloads your CV. Even if you are not interested in being listed, provided us with the relevant details and uploaded a CV so that I can reach you if something awesome comes up (read: head-hunt you for management roles!).

It shouldn't surprise anyone to learn that the ability to sell is directly related to your success as a fitness professional. Further to this, employers actively search for those candidates with sales-ability.

Here's a chance to pump up your value.

This Friday (June 11) Advance Fitness Marketing are running a 'Sales Essentials' workshop in Richmond VIC. This session will include information about how to generate leads and convert them, all based on the Advance sales system - currently used to sell over 12,000 gym memberships per year.

The session will run from 9:30am to 2:30pm and includes a light lunch. The advertised session fee is $299 per person HOWEVER they've told me I can offer a 'two for one' deal for professionals registered with HealthyPeople (I share an office with them).

Sessions will be run by Clayton Sinclair (founder of Advance) and will be suitable for all levels, from front desk staff, personal trainers, sales staff and management. The session is an intimate (boardroom style) interactive session.

If interested, you'll need to respond by midday tomorrow (June 9 - sorry for the late notice). Places are limited. Call Gabby on 9276 1111 to book. Don't forget to mention HealthyPeople to get the 'two for one' deal.

I'm a big fan of their work and feedback from previous sessions has been very good.

Genesis Fitness are a combination of company owned and franchised facilities. They've experienced fantastic growth (in Melbourne in particular) over the last few years.

Here's an opportunity to join this leading health and fitness group as they move into the NSW market.
