About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

A successful job search follows a clear sequence. Yet many candidates approach it without structure, submitting applications without focus, networking without intent, or preparing for interviews too late in the process.

This webinar presents a complete overview of the modern job search, using a seven-step framework that has helped thousands of professionals move from uncertainty to offer. You will learn how to assess your current stage, avoid common pitfalls, and take the right next step with clarity.


What You Will Learn

The session introduces the Job-Search Staircase, a structured process that covers the entire path to employment:

  1. Clarify – Define your goals, positioning, and strengths
  2. Search – Identify roles, companies, and industries aligned with your direction
  3. Network – Build meaningful relationships that open doors
  4. Apply – Submit focused, high-signal applications tailored to the role
  5. Interview – Communicate your value and handle common challenges
  6. Negotiate – Evaluate and improve your offer
  7. Sustain – Maintain momentum and stay on track until you get the job

Each step builds on the one before it, creating a clear path that leads you all the way to a job offer.
