From fear to focus – by next Friday ⏲️

Stuck. Struggling. Overwhelmed. 

I get it. When you’ve been throwing out job applications into the void, the last thing you want is another task to add to your to-do list. 

But that’s also exactly the right time to try something new in order to gain some momentum. By this time next week, you could have your 30-day action plan ready to roll. 

I built the From Fear to Focus Job Hunt Pathfinder for people ready to look beyond resume revisions and cover letter tweaks to set a new strategy. I asked early users two questions, rated on a 5-point scale, to evaluate how well the Pathfinder performs:

  • Did you feel a mindset shift, from an applicant guessing to an investigator gathering data?
  • Did completing these exercises feel manageable and low-stress?

The results? Users rated the Pathfinder 4.5 out of 5:

It was “effective in breaking me out of job-title mode and into a mode of  ‘problems I encounter and solve.’”

“Reframing the way I search for jobs and evaluate opportunities is clutch!”

If you access your $25 toolkit today, you’ll spend just 15 minutes each workday developing your custom job search strategy, just in time to join our live Community Call and Q&A on Thursday with completed toolkit in hand. ️

Can’t make the live session? No problem. You’ll be able to ask your questions when you register for the call, and I’ll answer every question I receive and send out the recording for you to review whenever you’re ready. 

Not currently being paid for your work? Ask me about sponsored seats to get free access – if you’re not being paid, you don’t have to pay for Career River resources. 

Registration closes Monday at 11:59 p.m. PT so I can read every registrant’s questions to prepare for the call. The doors are about to close, so save your spot today!

Happy navigating,
Bridget
