Hunt Like a Hero, Apply Like a Scientist
Your complete guide to finding (and landing)
a job worth having.
“I had the interview today, and they just let me know that they want to hire me! Success! I’m actually quite shocked, this all happened so fast.”
Sound familiar?
→ I was recently laid off. I’m feeling scared, overwhelmed, and am not sure where to even begin.
→ I’ve been on the hunt for a while and what I’m doing obviously isn’t working. I need a new approach.
→ The advice I’m seeing from LinkedIn and TikTok “influencers” is beyond useless. I’m looking for real expertise.

Bad job search advice is rampant.
Traditional coaches want to believe that the job search is all about your mindset, while resume writers try to scare you into “beating the ATS” (through their magical services, of course).
Our experience has shown these both miss the mark and lead to a long, painful job hunt.
The Reality?
A successful job search requires BOTH personal transformation AND discovering your fit in the marketplace. It’s all about you, and it’s not about you at all.

We’ve developed a completely different and counterintuitive approach.
It comes from what we’ve learned working with hundreds of jobseekers.

NO. 1
What to do first.
We know how hard it is to be newly on the job market. This course provides detailed guidance on how to regain your footing and start making real progress toward getting hired (it’s not endlessly scrolling job boards and polishing your resume).
NO. 2
How to hunt.
The job search is fundamentally a process of discovery - you must uncover your fit in order to get hired. You will learn how to create your 3 Fit Hypotheses and test them in the marketplace to refine your search.
NO. 3
networking that works.
We’ve all heard it’s not what you know, but who. This cliche fundamentally misses the point of networking. We’ll share why you're doing it wrong and what to do instead.
NO. 4
How to write a great resume.
You’ll turn your past experiences into compelling, resume-ready stories. Then, we’ll guide you on how to write an Effortlessly Readable Resume with the same templates we use with clients.
NO. 5
Not your typical interview prep.
Our counterintuitive interview advice was featured in Forbes. The first time we delivered it in a workshop, one of the participants was literally hired the next day. We’ll bring you in on the secret.
NO. 6
How to close the deal.
We know negotiations can be confusing and uncomfortable. We’ll walk you through how to ask for, and get, everything you deserve.
What’s Inside?
-
Your career story sets the stage for everything that follows. Reflect on your professional journey: where you’ve been and where you’re going.
Module No. 01
-
Every hero needs guides. You're Luke (or Leia). We're your Obi-Wan and Yoda (you can decide who’s who).
Module No. 02
-
Nothing worth doing is accomplished solely by ourselves.
Yet, we have a tendency to want to undertake our job search quest alone, even when all evidence suggest that’s a bad idea.
Module No. 03
-
Fear is the hidden job search killer.
When you are able to recognize and name your fears, you take back control of your search.
Module No. 04
-
One of the biggest mistakes job seekers make is undervaluing what they do best. Your strengths are what you will “sell” on your resume and in your interviews.
Module No. 05
-
The job search isn’t guesswork; it’s an experiment. Start by defining your “3 Fit Hypotheses.”
Module No. 06
-
Great networking isn’t schmoozing, it’s detective work. Stop doom scrolling and hit the streets, one conversation at a time.
Module No. 07
-
Despite an industry built on convincing you otherwise, the “secrets” to “hacking” your resume are not what you think.
Module No. 08
-
The feedback is what happens. Use your tracker to measure what matters and refine your approach based on real market feedback.
Module No. 09
-
Interviews aren’t a test, they’re an audition. You’re not being graded. You’re being considered.
Module No. 10
-
People don’t negotiate because they don’t feel good about it. We’ll cover with the why, how, and when of negotiation. Then, we’ll zoom out to the big picture.
Module No. 11
-
You did it! You’ve navigated fears, tested hypotheses, nailed interviews, and negotiated with confidence.
Module No. 12
