What people are saying

I had heard of the Hidden Job Market but had no idea how to get into it. This course was so clear in explaining it to me and gave me confidence to go and start to talk to people in the area I wanted to work in.

One of the case studies on the course was EXACTLY what I was doing when trying to get a job. It was so great to learn how to change my job search approach

I always hated the idea of networking to help me find a job and avoided if for years. But it had got to the point where I wasn’t even getting responses when responding to job ads. The course made me realise that I had been wasting so much time and energy just applying for jobs. It really helped me to get the confidence to put a plan in place to find out about jobs from people I already knew. I wish I had done it years ago!

Really straightforward and easy to follow advice on how to look for a job. It totally changed my way of thinking and I had a new job within 6 weeks

Now that I have completed this course the reason why so many companies don’t advertise their vacancies makes perfect sense to me. The suggested informational interview questions were so helpful to me when I was trying to think of what to ask people I was meeting – thank you .
