Wouldn’t it be nice to get momentum in your job search and check off those tasks you’ve been putting off? Like updating your resume? Dusting off the LinkedIn profile you haven’t updated since starting your last job? Finally setting up those networking coffee chats you’ve been thinking about but not acting on?

There’s a reason you haven’t gotten the results you want on your own. This work is hard. It requires tons of self-motivation, insight into your own strengths and weaknesses, and the ability to weather a lot of ups and downs.

But that’s why we created this Job Search Bootcamp. It's a group coaching program designed to help people kick start or reinvigorate their job search and give you the structure, tools and motivation you need to tackle what's keeping you stuck. Every week you’ll have two interactive Zoom meetings with your coach and a group of fellow job seekers to build your skills in each step of the job search process.

In between meetings, you’ll complete job search specific assignments to ensure you’re making progress toward your goals and you’ll get additional support through our virtual discussion group, where you can interact with your peers, get questions answered, and gain access to additional resources.

Your dream job should be filled with magic, but your job search shouldn’t be filled with mystery. You know a fulfilling career is waiting for you, and we want to help you find it.

Who This Is For:

This program is suitable for all those looking to grow their career – regardless of level, roles, and industries. So if you:

  • Are excited to work with a group of like-minded peers to support each other during your job search;
  • Are eager to learn new strategies and techniques to take your job search to the next level;
  • Have the time to attend all group meetings, and complete exercises and assignments,

Then this Bootcamp is for you.

What You'll Leave With:

By the end of the program you will have:

  • Clarity on your biggest career priorities, so you can focus on the opportunities that are right for you
  • Increased confidence in your top strengths and how to tell your unique career story
  • A clear roadmap outlining the key elements of the job search process along with tools, templates, and best practices to help you take action
  • A compelling LinkedIn profile, resume, and cover letter, customized to you, that will help you stand out and get hired
  • Goals and a plan for your search, to help you structure your time and work smarter not harder
  • Proven tactics to help you succeed in interviews and negotiations

Course Details:

Full participation in all four sessions is required and space is limited to eight students per group. You’ll also have the option to subscribe to 1:1 coaching sessions with one of our highly skilled career coaches if you’d like continued support after we wrap up.

Topics We’ll Cover Include:

Session 1: Self-Assessment & Building Your Brand
  • Your dream job may not even be in your current industry. We help you identify new potential industries and roles based on your current interests and passions, and create a powerful brand statement that interviewers and scouts will remember. Your brand statement is the core of your job search and will be used throughout your job search (LinkedIn, resume, interviews, and networking).
Session 2: Resume & Cover Letters - Do's & Don'ts
  • Learn how to write an effective resume and cover letter that best reflects your strengths and resonates with employers so you can land interviews. Learn easy-to-implement tips and tricks to avoid some of the common pitfalls when crafting these important documents.
Session 3: Leveraging LinkedIn & Networking
  • LinkedIn is a great resource to make connections, but it’s also a sea of anonymous faces and profiles. How do you stand out? We’ll help you highlight your accomplishments and experiences on LinkedIn so that you get noticed, and help you turn your resume into an impactful account of your most significant accomplishments and attributes.
Session 4: Interviewing
  • Interviews don’t have to be stressful experiences where you’re reciting a list of accomplishments. They can be rich conversations, either formal or informal, where you’re sharing your story strongly and effectively. We’ll prepare you to take control of these opportunities, as well as share best practices on how to develop and manage “multiple tracks” of job applications.

Group Start Dates:

Job Search Bootcamp meetings are held virtually via Zoom. The course takes place over four sessions total, held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8-9pm EST.

The dates will be January 16th, 18th, 23rd & 25th of 2023.

I thought Mike did a wonderful job and he brought in some great interviewers as well at the end! I got a solid three pages full of notes.

I was just starting my job search and the idea of sending out hundreds of applications blindly to job listings sounded absolutely dreadful. This job search bootcamp was a great introduction on how to create a clear strategy around the job search, and how to market oneself better. I received great feedback from Mike as well as fellow boot campers on my resume, mock interview responses and LinkedIn profile. Everyone had unique perspectives and helped me evaluate my materials from different angles. If you're willing to put in work outside of the scheduled sessions, you'll get so much helpful advice and tips from this bootcamp to get you closer to your next job!

Job Search Bootcamp was awesome and very helpful. Mike Manoske, our instructor, was extremely knowledgeable about aspects including networking, selling your personal brand, and attracting employers. Overall, I think the course helped me a lot and allowed me insights into the recruiting world that I would not have been able to get anywhere else. After updating my LinkedIn and following the strategies that Mike suggested, I have seen an increase in responses and messages from recruiters!

I started looking for my next career adventure and I realized I needed coaching. I was a bit nervous to start because I felt unprepared to search for the right opportunity and that I felt I was lacking some 2020 job kills. I decided to let go of my fears and signed up for the Job Search Bootcamp. Coach Mike Manoske's led our bootcamp class. Coach Mike made me feel welcomed and helped me battle through my fears. The content of the class was what I was hoping for to get me started on my quest. I look forward to partnering up with HireClub to help me prepare for my job search adventure.

Overall I had a good experience. I learned some new ways to talk about my experience. Got some good feedback from other bootcampers, and enjoyed the sessions. I have some suggestions for your consideration. Since there were three simultaneous bootcamp sessions I hoped to see more interaction on the community and discussion forum. I wanted to see what others, not in my group, were doing for their brand statements and linkedIn profile. Maybe I should have been the first to put mine out there, but the discussion forum seemed to be used for notices about the sessions only. I'm glad we can continue to share in the google drive, and I understand the need for people to feel comfortable with the group. I hope people still continue to share comments etc. I have one idea for the interviews session, have a session on HireView, or similar type video sessions. The company I work for currently uses it and I have seen some good ones and some terrible ones, and although I haven't done one myself yet, I imagine these are more common than not. My least valued session was the one around networking. I was more focused on developing my brand statement, resume and interview skills than networking which is always a challenge. People are always requesting connections on the Facebook forum, why not expand it to a standalone session? The community here is so strong with many different professions represented, it may be another way of networking while learning to network? Just thought. :) I definitely will recommend this to someone who is starting or in the midst of their search. I left the sessions feeling more focused on what I need to do to present myself in words, and in person. Thank you!
