Is finding a new job at the salary level you wanted proving more difficult than you expected?
Do any of the following apply to you?
- Are you failing to get any interviews or failing to get as many interviews as you would have liked?
- Do you miss out on job opportunities because of your lack of knowledge of how or where to look for your next job in today's complex job market?
- Are you just getting rejection letter after rejection letter when you apply for a job, or worse still are employers / recruiters not even bothering
to let you know that you were unsuccessful?
- Is your current interview performance letting you down, which means that you are losing out on job offers to other applicants or being offered
a poor salary package?
- Are you missing out on a decent pay rise, just because you don't know how to negotiate a pay rise from your next employer? Do you want to
add £1000, £2000, £5000 or more to your next salary package?
- Do you miss out on vacancies from recruitment consultancies because you don't know how to handle recruitment consultants, so that they remember
you and give you a call when a suitable vacancy arises?
- Are you squandering your chances of securing that all-important job interview, just because your CV / cover letter fails to impress an employer
or because you don't know how to approach an employer?
- Do you wonder why other people seem to find a new job with an improved salary package with ease, whilst you are struggling to get a new job or the
right salary offer?
- Are you lacking confidence in your ability to find a new job or to perform well at that all-important job interview?
- Is it taking you longer to find a new job than you would like or do you just want to reduce the time it takes you to find a new job?
- Do you have any specific problems to overcome: Do you consider yourself too old or too young? Do you feel that you lack qualifications
or experience? Have you been made redundant or are you unemployed? Or do you have any other problem or issue to overcome?

"I applied for 7 jobs and obtained 7 interviews. 100% success! What more can I say!" said Mr Jack, who was seeking a career move and
has obtained a new job with a prestigious company.
"The advice and support you gave me during the mock interview was fantastic and my confidence following the mock interview was very high.
This obviously came through in the actual interview last Tuesday and I have been offered the post. Many thanks and I've recommended your services
to many colleagues who I know will be contacting you in the near future." said Lisa Slingsby.
Which service would be suitable for you?
You can either choose one or more of our Job Search Modules or a complete Job Search Programme, depending on your particular needs and what you want
to achieve. Below, you will find details of our various Job Search Modules (listed first), plus details of our 4 and 10-Week Job Search Programmes (listed
after the Job Search Modules).
Each of our modules and Job Search Programmes can be tailored to meet your own individual needs whatever stage you are at. So, whether you are just starting
to think about looking for a job, or have actually started looking or been looking for a while, we will be able to provide you with the help and assistance
that you need. Each Job Search Module focuses on just one particular topic / problem, whilst the Job Search Programmes can focus on a number of different
topics / problems.
Any information that you share about yourself with our consultants is always treated as strictly confidential and will not be revealed to any other company
or individual. We fully comply with the UK's Data Protection Act.
Job Search Modules
Each Job Search Module focuses on just one particular topic / problem. You can purchase one or more modules. All modules are delivered through one-to-one
consultations on the phone, so there is no need to travel. Your consultant will contact you before the consultation to identify your individual needs,
so that the module/s can be tailored to meet your specific requirements. Here is an outline of the modules (pricing is listed below):
- Job Search Strategy Module: Do you have a job search plan or are you haphazardly applying for jobs? Is it taking you too long to find a job?
Most people don't have a clear plan, so they spend much longer looking for a job than they need to and waste lots of time (and money) on activities that
don't help them. In this module we assess and evaluate your current strategy and produce a detailed action plan to enable you to find a new job more quickly.
If you haven't started looking for a job then we can create an action plan from scratch that will reduce the time it takes you to find a new job.
- CV and Cover Letter Module: Are you failing to get many interviews? Is your CV and cover letter letting you down? In this module we can advise
you on tailoring your CV and cover letter to attract the attention of both employers and recruitment consultants, so that you get those all-important
job interviews. If you would like us to actually produce a CV or cover letter for you please see our professional CV
writing and cover letter services.
- Job Search Module: Are you missing out on job opportunities, just because you don't know where or how to look for your next job in today's complex
job market? This module is distinct from the Job Search Strategy Module, as it focuses on the various methods that you can use to find a job in today's
modern job market, including various tips and secrets that will get you interviews just that bit quicker. You will learn which job sites to use and how
to identify which jobs to apply for from the 100's on offer, so that you don't waste time applying unsuccessfully for jobs.
- Recruitment Consultancy Module: Are recruitment consultants calling you up frequently to put your CV forward to employers? If not, then we can
teach you how to make recruiters remember you, so that they give you a call when a suitable vacancy arises. You will get the insider's view, because our
consultants are former recruiters / headhunters who can reveal some trade secrets that will make your CV rise to the top of the pile and get you interviews
that much sooner. Plus your consultant can teach you how to handle recruitment consultants and get the best out of them.
- Employer Module: Can you identify employers using both traditional and modern job searching techniques? Do you know how to make speculative
applications and how to write a cover letter for a job advert? In this module we teach you how to identify and approach employers and most importantly
how to make them invite you to that vitally important job interview. As a former recruitment consultant / headhunter your consultant knows how to approach
an employer and make them want to meet you.
- Networking Module: Do you know how to quickly build a network of contacts and find a new job really fast? In this module we teach you how to
build and maintain a network of contacts that will assist you to quickly find and secure a suitable new job.
- Mock Interview Module: Are you getting interviews, but not being offered the job? Are you a bit rusty and need to brush up on your interview
technique? In this module we can either give you a mock interview for a specific job or give you a mock interview based on the type of job that you will
be applying for. You will be taken through the sort of questions that you will be asked at a proper job interview and we can help you prepare good answers
to the tough questions that you will face.
- Salary Negotiation Module: Will you miss out on a decent salary rise? Do you want to add £1000, £2000, £5000 or more to your
next salary package? In this module you will learn a number of important techniques that any one can learn, but that few people know. We teach you how
to negotiate the various elements of your salary package, even if you're not an experienced negotiator. You will be tutored in answering questions and
we will compose answers based on your own situation. Ever wondered why some people secure big raises, but not you? Then take this module and become one
of them.
- Confidence Building Module: Are you lacking confidence in your ability to find a job and handle interviews? Or do you have a specific problem
that you worry may cost you interviews? In this module we can take at look any anything that is troubling you and help you overcome it. Whether you just
lack confidence or have a specific problem such as redundancy / unemployment, being too young / old, lacking experience / qualifications, leaving a job
you hate and making a successful transition to a new job, etc. Whatever issues / problems you face this module can help you resolve them.
- Other Modules: If there are any other specific areas of your job search that you are concerned about please let us know, as we can design a
module just for you.
Each module consists of two hours of your consultant's time, including:
- An initial telephone consultation to discuss what you want to achieve, typically 5 to 15 minutes. This ensures that you get the most out of the module
and allows us to focus on anything that is troubling you or any specific problem that you need to overcome. Your consultant will also identify where you
may be missing out by analysing your existing skills, qualifications and experience.
- A further telephone consultation of approximately 45 to 60 minutes during which your consultant will go over the specific topic/s or problems that
you agreed you would cover.
- After the telephone consultation, your consultant will prepare a report / action plan, which will clearly outline the next steps that you need to take
to be successful.
Best of all, the modules are more affordable than you might think. Some companies expect you to buy a full package of their services that cost
between £2000 and £6000, depending on the package you choose, whilst our Job Search Modules start at just £197 for one module
or £394 for two modules. You can of course order further modules at a later date. If you want to order two or more modules you might want to also
