“Tell me about yourself.”

It’s one of the most common interview questions… and one of the most poorly answered.

I see it all the time, candidates either…
1. Talk for five minutes.
2. Repeat their CV.
3. Or freeze because they don’t know where to start.

Here’s what I teach instead 👇

👉 This question is not about your life story.
It’s your opening pitch.

A strong answer should clearly show:
* who you are professionally
* what you’ve done that’s relevant
* why you’re sitting in that interview

The simplest way to structure it:
Present ➡️ Past ➡️ Future

Present - What you’re doing now
Past - The experience that got you here
Future - Why this role makes sense for you

If candidates get this right, they:
1. Sound more confident.
2. Stay focused.
3. And set the tone for the entire interview.

✨ A simple example:
“ I’m currently working in a customer experience role where I manage client relationships and improve processes.
Before that I was in Admin and operations roles where I built strong organisational and stakeholder skills.
I’m now looking to step into a role like this where I can focus more on client engagement and outcomes.”

Clear. Relevant. Intentional.
No fluff. No waffle.

If you’re preparing for interviews, remember this…
👉 You don’t need a perfect answer
👉 You need a clear structured one

I spend a lot of time coaching candidates through this and the shift in confidence is immediate.

If you’re unsure how you come across an interview, it’s worth practising this one properly.

What do you think of this statement? ...
Hiring shouldn’t feel harder than it needs to be.

But for a lot of businesses right now, it is.

Too many applications.
Not enough quality.
Internal teams stretched.
And roles sitting open longer than they should.

At Champagne Recruitment, I work with businesses who are tired of (what I call) the “post and hope” approach and want a more targeted, considered way to hire.

Because recruitment isn’t just about filling a vacancy, it’s about getting the right person into a role, the first time.

Here’s how I support Champagne Recruitment's clients:

👉 Targeted search – we go directly to market, not just relying on ads
👉 Quality over volume – you see a shortlist of relevant, aligned candidates
👉 Clear, honest communication – with both clients and candidates
👉 Flexible support – from full end-to-end recruitment to candidate screening
👉 Commercial focus – we understand the real cost of a wrong hire or a delayed one

I partner closely with clients to understand not just the role, but the team, the culture, and what success actually looks like.

Because when you get the right hire:
✅ Performance lifts
✅ Teams stabilise
✅ Leaders can focus on growing the business

If you’ve got a role that’s been sitting open, or you simply want a better way to approach your next hire, let’s have a conversation.

I am always happy to talk through what’s working (and what’s not) in your current recruitment approach.

This morning I had the privilege of spending time with The Hospital Research Foundation Group for their biggest fundraising event of the year, Giving Day.

As an Ambassador, this cause is incredibly close to my heart. The work they do changes lives, funding vital research, supporting patients and families, and advancing care across so many areas that touch all of us in some way.

Just in my family, the research and support in cancer and breast cancer research, Parkinson's Disease and Palliative care has made a difference to my loved ones.

Being there today was a strong reminder that real impact comes from collective generosity. I loved being on the phones today because every conversation, every contribution, every show of support matters. I was lucky to be there for the first shift where we reached 25% of the $500,000 goal.

Great to see Jordan Platis who must have raised the most on the table! Congratulations on winning the door prize, you deserved it.

If you’ve been thinking about giving, today is the day to do it because every donation is matched by THRFG sponsors. Your donation genuinely makes a difference.

Let’s get behind this incredible organisation and the people they support. Let's change the future of diseases and illness.

I will be on the phones between 9am -11am tomorrow morning, if you would like a call from me to donate to this incredible cause - let me know!

I'm not using this term loosely..... I am so grateful✨

Yesterday, I hosted 50 guests for Australia's Biggest Morning Tea at the stunning with incredible raffle prizes donated by Harry & Co Jewellery and

To everyone who attended, donated, supported, bought raffle tickets, or simply showed up, thank you. It meant more to me than I can properly put into words.

This event is deeply personal. Like many of you, I’ve seen the impact cancer has on individuals, families, and entire support networks. I am forever grateful to Jason and my family for always supporting my cause.

Having my daughter Lola there with me was a really special reminder of why this matters so much. She is my reason.

I also want to acknowledge that in that room, there were people who have faced cancer themselves, or walked closely alongside someone who has. Your presence made the day even more meaningful.

A huge thank you to:
💛 Botanic Lodge for hosting such a beautiful event
💛 Cancer Council SA, especially Kaity and Ash , for the incredible work you do

Days like this remind me just how powerful community can be when we come together with purpose.

Together we made a difference and I’m so proud to be part of it with all of you. Congratulations to Demi for winning the white gold diamond stud earrings 👏

If you have not visited Botanic Lodge, do yourself a favour. The food, service and location are incredible....and with the autumn leaves, the Botanical Gardens are simply stunning.

If you’ve ever wanted to build an HR function your way … this is it.

Champagne Recruitment has partnered with a growing business in the construction and outdoor solutions sector to appoint a HR Manager in a newly created role.

This isn’t a “step into an established structure” kind of role.

This is your opportunity to take full ownership, build the frameworks, and shape how HR shows up in the business.

You’ll be working closely with leadership, influencing decision-making, and embedding practical, commercially sound HR processes that actually work in a fast-paced, project-driven environment.

💡 What makes this opportunity different:
You’ll build and shape the HR function from the ground up
You’ll have direct influence with leadership and real decision-making authority
You’ll stay hands-on while driving meaningful change across the business

You can learn more here: https://au.seek.com/job/92293732

I’m keen to connect with HR professionals who enjoy being hands-on, partnering with leaders, and making a real difference, not just maintaining what’s already there.

If that sounds like you (or someone in your network), let’s have a confidential chat.

Redundancies are never easy.

They’re often necessary, but how they’re handled is what people remember.

I’ve worked with many professionals after redundancy, and the difference between those who move forward confidently and those who feel stuck is often one thing...SUPPORT.

Outplacement isn’t just about helping someone find their next job.

It’s about:
• Restoring confidence
• Providing clarity on what’s next
• Equipping people with the tools to re-enter the market
• Ensuring they feel respected and supported through change

For organisations, it’s also about protecting your reputation, your culture, and your values, especially in difficult moments.

At Champagne Recruitment, I partner with organisations to deliver practical, human-centred outplacement support that helps people move forward with confidence and purpose.

Because how you exit people matters just as much as how you hire them.

Have a read of my thoughts here: https://champagnerecruitment.com.au/managing-redundancy-with-care-how-outplacement-support-protects-your-people-and-your-brand/

If you’re navigating change and want to ensure your people are supported the right way, I’d be happy to have a conversation.

Most hiring mistakes don’t happen because of bad candidates.

They happen because the process wasn’t right from the start.

Hiring isn’t just filling a role.
It’s protecting your time, your team, and your momentum.

And when it goes wrong? You feel it quickly.

This is exactly why my clients don’t want volume...they want clarity, honesty, and the right outcome.

So, here’s how I approach it:
✔ I take the time to understand your business properly (not just the job description)
✔ I’ll tell you what you need to hear, not just what’s easy
✔ I focus on quality over volume every time
✔ I represent your brand like it’s my own in the market
✔ I stay close and keep things moving, no chasing

Because a poor hire doesn’t just cost money.
It impacts your team, your energy, and your growth.

And the right hire?
You feel that shift immediately.

If you want to get it right the first time, let’s have a conversation.
