Why this course?
Traditional education and training in the job search field focuses primarily on tips for CV presentation and interview technique, set against a foundation of disempowered thinking. There is so much more to successful job search than this and when supercharged with the right belief system the results can be staggering.
This course turns traditional jobseeker thinking on its head . The majority of jobseekers are like a ‘pinball’ bounced around by the job market at the whim of job boards,… Show more recruiters and employers often resulting in a loss of confidence and shattered emotions.
Many jobseekers follow the conventional approach to find their next position as if this were a blueprint for success. But think of it this way - is following what everyone else is doing really going to make you stand out from the crowd?
This interactive and practical workshop gives you the power back and full proactive control of your job search every step of the way – your emotions are protected and your confidence grows.
Leave energetic and empowered with a new way of thinking and the tools and techniques to attack the job market on your terms, to find the success you deserve.

What do others think?
'As a senior executive I was new to the job search landscape and felt very much out of place. Simon immediately alleviated my concerns and was incredibly valuable in advising me how to go about major career transitions. He is incredibly experienced at the entire job search process and is of immense value to any manager (junior or senior) going through this process.
More specifically, Simon’s strengths are his ability to challenge assumptions (many of which are likely to be false), to get people to think differently when they approach their job search and most importantly, to help people maintain a very high degree of confidence and positive thinking as they go through a challenging transition of finding their next job. My job search has been a global one and Simon’s experience and approach has helped me significantly - in particular, it was his ability to get me to think differently and approach the job search unlike anything I’ve ever read or heard (e.g. the people in my outplacement organisation didn’t help me in this way).
These skills and experiences that he has given me are things that I can carry forward throughout my professional career. In the end, Simon has showed me that it’s much more than the dynamics of the job market and centres more about me as an individual, my beliefs and my thinking'.
