The Bridge Between Insight and Action
The "Hired – Not Retired" course provides the blueprint, but the 30-Minute Consultation Call is where we apply the recruiter's lens to your unique situation. This is not a regimented check-box exercise. It is a high-impact strategy session where you set the agenda and I provide the "Recruiter’s Reality" to help you move forward with absolute confidence.
While many of my clients use this time for a deep dive into their CV or LinkedIn profile, this is your time to utilise in any way you wish. You may have already nailed your headline and narrative but find yourself stuck on a specific market nuance or a complex career crossroads.
We can use our 30 minutes to tackle whatever is top of your mind, including:
The Tactical Stress Test: We can look at your CV or LinkedIn profile together. If a phrase feels like "corporate fluff" or triggers an "overqualified" red flag, we fix it in real-time.
Specific Hurdles: Perhaps you have a specific interview coming up and want to "stress test" your answers against a real Job Description.
The "Unwritten Rules": You might want to discuss a specific interaction with a headhunter or a networking lead that did not go as planned.
Strategic Navigation: We can talk through the "Hidden Market" in your specific sector and identify the highest ROI move for your level of seniority.
Neutralising Age Bias: We can address any personal concerns regarding market perception and ensure your years of experience are framed as a modern "insurance policy" for a new employer.
You Own the Agenda: If you have specific questions or a unique situation that does not fit into the core modules, bring them to the table. This is an open platform designed to address your individual journey.
Direct Access to the "Insider" Perspective: You are getting a safe space to test your assumptions and be gently challenged by a professional whose job was to filter people out. My goal is to help you filter yourself in.
No "Perfect" Required: You do not need to have a finished CV or a clear plan to have this call. Sometimes the most valuable sessions happen when things are still "messy" and we can build the right foundation from the start.
To ensure maximum impact, simply identify the one desired outcome that would be most helpful for you to walk away with. Whether that is a validated networking strategy, an interview rebuttal, or simply a dose of professional reassurance, knowing your priority helps us use the 30 minutes effectively.
That is perfect. We can spend the entire 30 minutes on outreach strategy, salary negotiation tactics, or how to handle a specific "younger boss" dynamic. The call is for you to use in the way that serves your search best.
Absolutely. If you have a role you are eyeing, bring the Job Description. We can use the "JD Highlight" technique to identify the hiring manager's true "Pain Points" and draft your specific "Aspirin" statement right there on the call.
A senior career transition can be an isolating experience. Sometimes the most valuable use of this call is to have a confidential sounding board to validate your instincts and ensure you are not overthinking your market position.
