How often is your newsletter, The Juice, sent out?

The Juice is sent out each weekday, excluding most public holidays.

How do I cancel or make changes to the emails you send me?

You can make these changes by going to the ‘update your email preferences’ link, featured in the footer of the emails you receive.

Why am I not receiving The Juice?

There are two different areas that can affect the delivery of email newsletters like The Juice bulletin. In some instances the bulletin is blocked at a high level, by your mail server, ISP or some other kind of SPAM filter, which means the bulletin isn’t even making its way to your mail client. In the other instance the mail client you’re using may be sending the bulletin into your Junk/SPAM folder.

As a first step we would recommend checking your Junk/SPAM folder to ensure the bulletin isn’t sitting in there. We would then advise you to add “no-reply@themandarin.com.au” to your address book, to help inform your mail client to recognise The Mandarin as a safe sender.

If your email server returns a ‘soft bounce’ five times or a ‘hard bounce’ just once on your address, then our mailer will flag it ‘do not email’. Updating your email address and reconfirming it will soon reset that flag.

If these measures do not help to get your delivery back on track, please contact support at support@themandarin.com.au.

FAQs about Mandarin Careers

Q: What is Mandarin Careers?

Mandarin Careers is a centralised platform providing visibility to:

  • senior leadership opportunities Australia wide with relevance to the public sector (they can be senior roles in the public sector, higher education, not for profit or private sector, so long as they are senior executive roles with a government / public purpose focus).
  • professional development thought leadership – content from higher education, consultancies, industry, search firms, government, and The Mandarin on leadership pathways, and the challenges and benefits from moving in / out of government, and across government departments.

Q: What makes your jobs/careers platform different to others? 

Mandarin Careers centralises senior  professional opportunities and specialist hard-to-fill roles from across Australia.

Featured jobs are embedded in the daily e-newsletter reaching over 1.5 million readers.  Our audience is made up of engaged emerging and senior leaders spanning both the public and private sectors; engaged in public sector news.

It provides senior executive hiring managers and search firms with reach to senior ‘passive’ candidates via our daily e-newsletter – Mandarin Careers is an invaluable tool for government hiring managers and search firms to pique the interest of potential senior level candidates who might not otherwise be actively looking for job opportunities.  

Departments or organisations can also promote their departments more generally through short articles and thought leadership content, along with linked senior job opportunities.  Research with senior leaders in our audience indicated that they were willing to consider sideways moves ‘if’ the organisation/department could better showcase the culture, benefits and capacity to influence (via articles, video).  

 Q: Who is this platform for

Mandarin Careers is for senior executives and emerging public sector leaders interested in:

  • news, information and advice around career pathways and professional development in the public sector
  • senior leadership opportunities – learning about departments and organisations as potential places of work or collaboration – what they do, their culture, their program highlights, their values and purpose
  • thought leadership, insights and pathways for cross-fertilising skills and experiences across government and from moving in / out of government.

Mandarin Careers is also for senior executive hiring managers and search firms wishing to reach a niche passive candidate base – our engaged audience of senior leaders spanning both the public and private sectors.
