Job Search Strategy Session
Looking for a job but not sure if you're actually doing the right things, or doing a lot and getting nowhere?
This is a 2-hour strategy session where we take a close look at your experience, goals and current job search, identify what may be holding you back, and build a clear plan for what to do next.
Together, we'll look at your positioning, target roles, resume and LinkedIn, job search channels, networking strategy and interview readiness - and decide where your effort will actually make the biggest difference.
This is not generic job search advice. It's a strategy built around your experience, your market and the roles you're targeting.
This session is for you if
You're looking for a job and don't know where to start
You're applying, but not getting the results you want
You haven't had to job search in years
You want to be ready before you need to leave
What’s inside the Session
I've spent 10+ years in HR and Talent Acquisition, working on the employer side of hiring across Canada, the U.S. and international markets.
So we're not going to build your strategy around generic advice like “apply to 10 jobs a day” or “just network more.” We'll look at how employers actually find, assess and select candidates - and how that applies to your particular search.
