9 courses for the in-between
The whole arc, from setting up a search to signing an offer. Written to be short enough to actually finish: most courses read in half an hour.
All 9 come to about 4.4 hours of reading. Nobody expects you to do that in one sitting, or in this order, or at all.

Start here, in this order
These 5 build on each other. You can jump in anywhere, but each one assumes the work in the one before it is roughly in place.
The Search Strategy Foundation
Set up the search before you start sending things out. The recommended starting point. You work out how a search is sequenced, how to read a posting for what the employer actually needs, what standards you want to hold yourself to, and...
Get Found, Get Chosen
Résumé and LinkedIn as one working system. The résumé an evaluator scans in seconds and the LinkedIn profile a recruiter searches before that, treated as two surfaces of the same record. You audit both, rebuild them field by field,...
The Hidden Job Market
The channels that fill roles before they post. Postings are one channel, and at senior levels not the busiest one. This course covers direct outreach, recruiter and headhunter engagement, reactivating a referral network that has gone quiet, and researching a...
Interview and Screening Mastery
From story inventory to the screening call. The arc from building a set of stories you can retrieve under pressure, through the recruiter screening call, to the questions that are hardest to answer well. It includes explaining a layoff...
Negotiate Your Offer
What to do once an offer is realistically in sight. Five lessons on the negotiation itself. You work through what to disclose and when, how to build leverage you can actually use, how to set up an internal advocate so they can...
Take these when you need them
Not part of the sequence. Useful at whatever point they become relevant to you.
The Executive Search Playbook
A parallel track for VP and above candidates. At VP level and above, hiring runs through retained search firms and relationships more than open applications, and the mechanics are different enough to be worth their own course. This covers how...
Map Your Network
Turn your LinkedIn export into a working dashboard. A short, hands-on course built around a single downloadable tool. You request your own LinkedIn data export, open it in a self-contained dashboard that runs offline on your own machine, and read...
Staying Steady
For the weeks when the search is the hard part. A situational course for processing a layoff or carrying the weight of a long search. It works the same way as the rest of the material: name the specific mechanism, then apply...
AI Without the Penalty
Use AI in your search without it costing you. AI is a good fit for mechanical work and a poor fit for the narrative an evaluator reads. This course covers where that line sits: when to use AI to extract and...
