Talk to anyone else trying to land work they love and you'll hear the same things: they're confused about where to start, how to spend their time, and why they're not hearing back. 

You wonder: What do employers want to hear? Are cover letters really necessary? How can I fit a time-consuming job search into my busy life?

Instead of having these worries and fears, imagine feeling empowered and confident about the steps you're taking and how you're presenting yourself to employers. Picture yourself knowing exactly how to spend your energy effectively and gaining momentum towards achieving your goals. 

An online course comprised of five comprehensive modules and one-on-one support.

• Understand your values, interests, personality, and skills better. When you know yourself and what you truly want, you can seek out opportunities more efficiently and have better language to use when explaining yourself to others. 
• Learn a simple yet powerful two-pronged job search strategy to get organized and spend your time on the things that matter.
• Develop best practices for tailoring your application materials (resumes and cover letters) and interview answers to stand out from your competition.
• Discover how to prepare for interviews, anticipate what questions you'll be asked, and feel confident in your answers (no need to dread the tell me about yourself and salary conversations!).
• Create healthier habits and self-care rituals to take care of yourself, so you have the energy and clarity of mind needed at this critical time.
• Feel supported, knowing you're not alone and have an arsenal of resources at your disposal for each stage of this process. 
• Have the ability to do this work at your own pace and on your own time (no schedules to coordinate!) while still having the option for one-on-one coaching when you want it.

You'll have access to...

• 5 individual modules and 3 hours of expert step-by-step job search guidance videos (including a LinkedIn tutorial with tricks for reaching out to people without paying for Premium)
• Comprehensive workbooks, additional resources, and a reminder of your action items each week to keep you accountable. 
• A thorough 20 page self-assessment guide with access to additional assessments at no cost ($99 value) and directions on how to move from self-exploration to action.  

Registration for this program is closed until 2018.

Understand your values, interests, personality, and skills to better assess which jobs are in alignment with what you really want.

Instead of thinking, "eh, I guess this job is interesting enough," seek out roles that are exciting to you.

No matter which industry you're applying to, there are ways to maximize the impression these documents can make on employers. 

Stop wasting your time applying for jobs only to find out they were already filled before they were posted. Create a strategic plan and move from overwhelmed to empowered. 

With each weekly module release comes a reminder to take time to do this work. Stay on track with these regular check-ins so your job search stays front of mind, not on the backburner.

Content ranges from video lessons (of engaging lectures with Aileen, not just a slideshow!), workbooks, and written tutorials, using multiple learning styles to help you absorb the content. 

Who are you supposed to speak with and where do you find them?

What do you actually say in those conversations? We'll cover it all.

Kick fear out of the driver's seat and understand how to answer everything confidently... even if you don't have an answer in mind!

Strategies to keep your spirits up in the process, and a focus on how you can prioritize wellness of both mind and body.

In addition to lifetime access, you'll also get the following bonuses:

• One 60-minute private career coaching call ($199 value)  
• One 15-minute resume or cover letter review ($50 value)  
• A compilation of quick, easy, and nutritious recipes to help you stay well fueled
