Applying for Jobs and Networking
Having a good resume is only part of it.
At some point you have to actually get it in front of people, and that requires a strategy.
This course covers the full picture of how to run a job search properly.
Where to look, how to use job boards and LinkedIn without wasting hours on either, how to work with recruiters, how to tap your network without it feeling awkward, and how to approach the whole thing like it’s a job in itself. Because it is.
The people who treat it that way get results faster.
Seven lessons covering every channel available to you and how to use each one well.
- Set up a KPI plan so your effort is measurable and your week has structure, not just activity.
- Optimise your LinkedIn profile so recruiters can find you, not just the other way around.
- Learn how to approach recruitment agencies, what they actually respond to and how to open a conversation that gets you remembered.
- Use your existing network more effectively. Most people underestimate who they already know and what a single conversation can lead to.
- Write cover letters that are worth sending. Most aren’t. The ones that work do one specific thing differently.
- Record video applications that represent you well. More roles are requesting them and most candidates get it wrong.
- Understand why treating the job search as a structured daily commitment changes everything about your results.
How you run a job search is how you run any important project.
The discipline of setting targets, tracking activity, working multiple channels simultaneously and staying consistent when results are slow is a professional skill in its own right.
Most people also underinvest in their network until they need something from it.
What you learn here about reaching out, keeping relationships warm and asking for help without making it transactional is useful far beyond this search.
The job market will change. You may need to do this again. Next time it will be faster.
