Our Comprehensive Job Coaching Approach

 Our Job Coaching is available through structured 8-week and 12-week programmes, designed to give you focused, sustained support as you progress through your job search. Depending on the programme you choose, you will receive up to 10 one-to-one coaching sessions, tailored to your individual goals and career stage. Alongside this personalised coaching, you will also receive exclusive invitations to our interactive workshops, where you can learn, practise, and network with other professionals facing similar challenges. To further support your journey, you’ll gain full access to our online careers portal, packed with resources, templates, and tools that complement your coaching sessions and keep you moving forward between meetings. This blended approach ensures you benefit from individual attention, community learning, and on-demand resources—covering every aspect of your career development. 

Achievement-Focused CV Writing

Your CV is not simply a record of your career—it is your personal marketing document. We help you transform a standard CV into a powerful tool that showcases your measurable achievements and positions you as the solution to an employer’s needs. Every CV we develop is strategically tailored to the role and sector you’re targeting, optimised for Applicant Tracking Systems, and designed to capture the attention of decision-makers.

By anchoring your CV in achievement-driven content, you also create a strong foundation for interview success. Each accomplishment can be expanded into compelling stories, giving you ready-made examples that highlight your skills and impact in ways that resonate with employers.

Interview Success Strategy

A strong CV opens the door, but it is your performance at interview that secures the role. We provide structured coaching that prepares you to succeed in every interview scenario, from competency-based panels to executive-level discussions. With practical techniques, you’ll learn how to deliver answers that highlight your achievements, demonstrate confidence, and leave a lasting impression. We also coach you on salary negotiation, ensuring you maximise the value of your offers.

Our approach goes beyond rehearsing answers. We help you tell a clear, evidence-based career story—one that consistently aligns with employer expectations and builds trust in your ability to deliver results.

Hidden Job Market and Broader Job Search Strategies

While the hidden job market offers unique opportunities, it is only one part of a successful job search strategy. We show you how to integrate hidden-market access with a broader, structured plan. This includes applying smartly to advertised vacancies, building a credible online presence, tailoring direct approaches to decision-makers, and engaging with your network to uncover opportunities before they become public.

You will learn how to identify industries and organisations that align with your career goals, how to build a professional brand that attracts attention, and how to use LinkedIn effectively as both a networking and positioning tool. By combining traditional and hidden market approaches, you will stop relying on luck and start leading a strategic, multi-channel job search.

Who Benefits from Job Coaching?

Our job coaching benefits professionals at every stage of their career. Mid-career professionals gain strategies to secure promotions, improve earning potential, or pivot into new industries. Senior executives use our coaching to manage C-suite and board-level transitions, as well as executive search processes. Career changers, whether returning to work or moving into a new field, benefit from targeted support to reposition themselves effectively. We also help those facing redundancy to manage the transition with confidence, dignity, and speed, turning what could be a setback into an opportunity.

Flexible Coaching Options

We provide flexible coaching formats to match your needs and circumstances. Our one-to-one coaching delivers highly personalised guidance, while intensive programmes accelerate preparation and action for those on a shorter timeline. Group coaching offers a collaborative, cost-effective way to learn from peers, and our corporate outplacement services provide comprehensive support to organisations managing change.
