Looking for a new job is never easy. Paradoxically, as we become more skilled and more senior, it can become harder: fewer target roles, more competition and still the frustration of online applications that demand time and effort but give nothing in return.

The solution – pioneered by Steve Dalton in his bestselling book The 2-Hour Job Search - is to sidestep the black hole of internet job postings and network your way to referrals, interviews and jobs.

In this webinar we explore precisely how working professionals can adapt Steve’s method to target mid- to senior-level jobs with the same efficient networking strategy.

Please book your ticket here (use code "cran-disc" if discounted ticket does not show). 

We will discuss:

  • The biggest mistake mid-career job seekers make (and how to avoid it)
  • The exact type of outreach email that works best for working professionals
  • Why you should (mostly) ignore your existing network and reach out to strangers
  • How to supercharge your job search with AI and LinkedIn (and when NOT to use them)
  • How long you should expect to job-search
  • How to run your job search on autopilot and maximise your chances of referrals, interviews and job offers

This webinar is organised and delivered by SensibleMedia who offer online courses to teach alumni and students the skills they need to get the careers they want.
