Job Search Strategy and Acquisition (JSS)

Designed for Leaders and Leaders of Leaders:

Leadership Competencies, Value Theme, Value Proposition, Strategic Positioning Statements, CV, LinkedIn and Go-to-Market: (5 hours)

Taking a much more strategic approach to job search, this integrated program is designed for business and people leaders who wish to be well positioned ahead of time to secure their next career opportunity.

Exploring leadership domains and value creation you'll demonstrate key skills and the experience required to satisfy senior level appointments.

Over a period of 5 x 1 hour sessions we'll work with you to shape your Job Search Strategy - equipping you with tailored marketing assets such as your CV, LinkedIn profile and job interview techniques to capture the attention of recruiters and ensure you're comfortable with challenging leadership assessment and appointment methodologies.

Whilst each module is structured in its delivery, the solution is designed to flex to meet your needs - whether it's via face to face or video conferencing.

We also offer to video all of your coaching so you can review your coaching sessions online as many times as you like. This has proven to be very popular with our clients and a powerful way of recalling the process, reflecting on key areas, and re-capturing the essence of your coaching sessions in your own time.
