Job Search Strategy

Stop applying everywhere. Start targeting the right roles.

A focused one-to-one session to clarify your career goals, find what is holding your search back and leave with clear next steps for getting more interview calls.

Guidance from someone who has spent more than 18 years on the hiring side of the table.

Common challenges

Why a strong candidate can still hear nothing back.

Most job searches stall for reasons that are easy to miss from the inside. These are the ones I see most often.

Applying without a clear target

Sending applications to every opening spreads your effort thin and blurs your story.

Being mis-positioned

Your resume or profile signals a different level than the roles you are targeting.

Resume and LinkedIn out of sync

Recruiters see two different stories and are not sure which one is true.

No clear next step

You are busy every week but not sure what would actually change your results.

FAQs

Questions people ask before we start.

Can you guarantee I will get interviews or a job?

No. I can’t promise interviews, a job offer or a salary. What I can do is help you target the right roles and present your experience clearly.

How are sessions held?

Sessions are one-to-one over Zoom, Teams or Google Meet.

How much does job search strategy cost?

A strategy call is included in the Career Upgrade Plan ($399 USD), and job strategy is an optional part of the Executive Career Plan ($999+ USD). Standalone sessions are scoped around your needs, and we agree on the details before any work starts.

Do I need an updated resume first?

No. We can review your current resume or LinkedIn together during the session and decide what needs to change.

I am targeting Director, Principal or VP roles. Where should I start?

If you are targeting Director, Principal or VP-level roles, executive positioning is recommended regardless of your current title.

Can this be combined with resume or LinkedIn work?

Yes. Strategy works best when your resume and LinkedIn tell the same story, and the career plans combine them.
