Find roles that actually fit — without burning out
If you’re applying for jobs and hearing nothing back, it’s rarely because you’re “not good enough.” It’s usually because your search strategy isn’t aligned with how hiring actually works.
This session is a practical, straightforward review of your current job search. It examines what you’re doing and what’s working. It also identifies what’s wasting time and what to change so you start getting interviews.
Best for: This service is targeted at mid-career and senior individuals who want a clearer plan and better results. We will of course help anyone who just can’t get a job. We will coach you thought the process to give you the best chance of getting a job.
What we’ll cover
We’ll tailor the session to your situation, but typical topics include:
- Your target: role, level, location, salary/day rate, remote/hybrid expectations
- Where to focus: job boards vs company sites vs recruiters vs referrals
- How recruiters really work (and when agencies help vs when they don’t)
- Speculative outreach: how to approach hiring managers without sounding desperate or spammy
- Networking & LinkedIn: what to post, who to message, and what to say
- Your application approach: volume vs quality, tailoring, keywords, and timing
- Time management: building a weekly routine that avoids endless scrolling and burnout
- Reality checks: if your market is quiet, we’ll map smart alternatives (adjacent roles, sectors, geographies)
