Mark’s story inspired us to develop something that will practically change how you look and apply for opportunities you are interested in.

You and Mark have probably walked down the same road. If not, you’ll definitely relate to his job search experience – applied for more than a dozen jobs, called employers desperately but never received any feedback. Can you say that all that effort has paid off? Have you learned something so that you can improve your chances of being successful the next time you apply?

At some point Mark realised he was not going anywhere - that he was either doing something wrong, or the system was flawed. Being a problem solver, he decided to put his analytical skills into play and discovered the following traits among successful candidates:

  1. Successful job seekers are not successful by coincidence or luck. They gradually and consistently improve their chances with every job application.

  2. Successful job seekers don’t shoot in the dark; they have a well-defined goal and before sending an application they assess if a job is a good fit for them and if they stand a realistic chance for it.

  3. Successful job seekers know themselves - their strengths, what skills they need to develop and they know what roles and industry suits them.

  4. Successful job seekers have a plan; they carefully cultivate their skillset, study the employer and the industry, and take time to prepare for an interview.

And what can we say – Mark picked up these traits and is happily employed today! Mark’s story inspired us to develop something that will practically change how you look and apply for opportunities you are interested in.
