I can help you get every job you apply for.

No, it’s not too good to be true.

It’s a systematic process of ensuring you are the best candidate for every job you apply for.

If you keep getting rejected at job application or interview stage, career development coaching could help you.

Using coaching to explore what’s important to you about your career, we’ll work out what’s stopping you from getting through to the next stage of your job application.

In other words, you won’t be applying for the jobs you don’t stand a chance of getting.

Imagine having no more …….

  • doubts about whether you’re good enough

  • disappointment when you don’t get through to the next stage

  • frustration when you can’t seem to work out what’s going wrong for you

  • confusion about the value you add to any organisation

    Sarah Y. NHS Manager

I have an excellent track record of helping people get jobs they thought they could only dream about.

My expertise is borne out of personal experience as an employee, working on the recruitment side as a manager and designing roles in organisations as a management consultant.

I have also researched organisational behaviour extensively and understand what makes organisations successful.

There are two main reasons why people don’t get jobs they apply for

1) The application did not provide evidence for the essential criteria outlined in the job role and person specification - this means that they didn’t show the skills and experience required for the role clearly in the application.

2) The candidate did not have sufficient evidence to match the essential criteria outlined in the job role and person specification - this means that they didn’t have the skills and experience required for the role and hence couldn’t show them in the application.

There are also other variables outside of our control but which we can be aware of that might affect our ability to apply successfully

1) The amount of detail the organisation provides in the job advertisement

2) The extent to which the job advertisement is a genuine call for recruitment or a general fishing exercise to gauge potential talent

3) Whether an organisation is genuinely looking for an external candidate or whether the job advertisement is a legal requirement before appointing an internal candidate

Trying to work through these things on your own can be fraught with self-doubt and confusion

By working with me you will:

  • understand which bits of the job advertisement you need to pay most attention to

  • be clearer on the value you add to the organisation

  • present a much more compelling reason for why they should interview you

  • become more confident about why you are the best person for the role
