Certified Hidden Job Market Coach Live

Job search takes a toll on confidence, motivation, and follow-through.

From targeting search to networking and using social media, opportunities for fear to erode success are constant.

Are you looking for tools to address fears and barriers that stop job seekers in their tracks?

The Certified Hidden Job Market Coach (CHJMC) program offers a structured approach to job search planning, networking, and action.

During this 6-week virtual class, you'll learn how to improve job search strategy, hone your coaching approach, and structure your services so candidates land jobs faster.

And, no, we're not talking about a "hidden job market" created by jobs that aren't listed -- most jobs are posted, especially in the U.S. where company equal opportunity policies require it.

The hidden job market you'll have processes to help clients uncover isn't about how jobs are advertised...it is how your client can be the "referred" candidate (40+% of hiring managers prefer referrals) and how job seekers can uncover the jobs they want, not just jobs that are open on any given day...

(We'll also teach you how to help clients improve their success rate applying to posted jobs, but "balanced job search coach" didn't have the same ring or show up in search results when people look for help.)

Tools to quickly focus a job seeker to set the stage for a proactive job search.
Foundational coaching skills for addressing barriers, fears, and objections that stop job seeker progress.
Processes for structured development of a job search and career marketing plan.
Resources for researching target companies, assessing networking style, and determining effective approach.
Structured activities, scripts, and resources to make networking tangible and trackable for job seekers.
Practical tools for improving effectiveness of all job search methods, including online applications, working with recruiters, and more!

After this 6-week program, you'll walk away with 50+ worksheets, checklists, scripts, and other tools to use with job seekers throughout the process … all of which you can customize, including adding your business or organization branding.

The done-for-you, customizable tools include:

• Quick-focus activities and a job search map to create a strong job search foundation

• Checklists for job search materials, job search strategy, networking strategy, remote work job search, event networking, social media activity, and application follow-up

• Spreadsheets for company research, application tracking, and networking activity tracking

• Networking sound bite activity, networking resume example, and networking style assessment

• Conversation outlines for warm contacts, cold contacts, event networking, and pseudo interviews

• Scripts for reaching out to your existing network, contacting cold contacts, reaching out to recruiters, and following up after events and conversations

• Processes for tracking daily and weekly goals and ideas for gamifying the process to increase action and improve results

The in-class conversations will give you ideas on how to use these tools and adjust them for your clients.

All tools are provided in Microsoft Word or Excel format so you can make changes, add your logo, and use them in your practice the next day!

At its core, the hidden job market is about networking. In this class CTL dives into the strategies of effective networking, from assessment/clarity to messaging and marketing. Throughout the class they included coaching strategies for helping clients find the answers they already possess, and provided key resources and templates to facilitate the coaching process. Highly recommend it!
