Dress for Success Auckland - Igniting Careers. Transforming Futures.

Ying Li will be delivering this workshop designed for women navigating job search and career transitions in New Zealand.

With 15+ years of experience spanning recruitment agencies, corporate hiring, and career mentoring, Ying has sat on both sides of the interview table. She has partnered on talent acquisition with global organisations including ABB and large-scale recruitment projects involving Tesla-related initiatives, successfully placed hundreds of candidates, and supported job seekers at different stages of their career journey.

This practical, no-fluff session will take you inside the hiring manager's mind:

• What hiring managers are really evaluating, and it's not just your CV
• Why being the "right fit" often matters more than being the "best on paper"
• First impressions: the micro-signals that shape decisions within the first few seconds
• Common mistakes that quietly reduce your chances
• How to show up authentically, confidently, and memorably

"Don't wait to be chosen - make NOT choosing you their loss."

Whether you're returning to the workforce, changing careers, or pursuing your next opportunity, this session offers real-world insights from someone who has reviewed countless applications and understands what can truly shift the odds in your favour.
