Melbourne Talent Meetup #32 – “The Art Of Self-Promotion”

About the Meetup Event

Hi TA friends,

Most of us in recruitment are absolutely brilliant at 'selling' opportunities and brands, but often pretty terrible at promoting ourselves and our careers. Sound familiar?

We need to talk about this.

Think about it – we spend our days crafting compelling stories for candidates, positioning them perfectly for their dream roles, and coaching them through tricky career conversations. But when it comes to your own professional growth? Suddenly, we're fumbling through LinkedIn updates, downplaying your wins, and hoping someone will just magically notice how good you are at your job.

Why are we like this?

Here's the thing: self-promotion doesn't have to feel icky or fake. It's really just about getting better at telling your story, building genuine connections, and creating the opportunities you actually want. And as we all know, in our industry, who you know genuinely matters.

So we've found two people who've helped hundreds of people create more opportunities for themselves.

Carlo Chincarini – "The Kingmaker" gets why so many of us struggle with the whole "putting ourselves out there" thing. He's spent 15 years helping leaders (including plenty in our space) get past that annoying voice that says "don't be too pushy" and actually own their achievements. His approach is about finding your confidence without turning into someone you don't recognise.
Johnathan Maltby has worked with over 400 professionals who were stuck in exactly the same spot you might be in right now. He's really good at helping people cut through all the mental noise and work out what they actually want their career to look like, then figure out how to get there.

What you'll walk away with:

Ways to talk about your wins without sounding like a walking LinkedIn post
Techniques to stop that impostor syndrome voice in your head
Practical approaches to building relationships that don't feel forced
Clear steps to design a career path that makes sense for you
A room full of other TA people who get exactly what you're dealing with

Here's why you should come:

You're already good at what you do. Really good. However, being good at your job and advancing your career are two different things.

Whether you want that promotion, think about a complete career change, or just want to feel more confident talking about your achievements, this evening will give you the tools to make it happen.
