Reason #1: You Don't Know What You Want

It's normal to feel scattered or confused about your career interests. There are a number of jobs that could leverage your hard-earned skills and make you happy, and new jobs are being created every day!

It's hard to know which one is 'the one'...

Which is why so many job seekers skip answering this important question, and spend their time applying for LOTS of different jobs, or simply twiddling their thumbs, waiting for that perfect job title to fall in their lap.

We think that if we leave it up to the universe, eventually it will give us an answer.

The problem is, when you're unfocused in your job search, you're unlikely to see results.

A successful job search requires one specific job title. Which means finding clarity is the first and most important step to landing a job you'll love.

What you need:

A systematic approach for uncovering the career paths that could fit you - and choosing the one that you'll go after with all of your heart.

Making that decision confidently won't just feel amazing and take all that career angst away. It will help you focus, position yourself as a great candidate for the job you want, interview like a boss, and unlock other areas of amazing progress in your search and career (more detail on this below).

Reason #2: Sporadic Is Your Middle Name

If you've been perusing job boards on and off, submitting some applications here and there, and pushing play and then pause on your search, I have news for you, in the words of my career idol Iyanla Vanzant:

"This is not gonna turn out well for you!" (said with a big smile and a ton of empathy because I've been there!)

Your efforts are well intended. But unfortunately, you’ve never stayed truly committed long enough to get a steady stream of interviews and offers.

The secret to a successful job search -- one that lands you a job you love in the least amount of time -- is COMMITMENT.

What you need:

To commit -- and hold yourself accountable -- for staying true to the process (more detail on this below). To make progress EVERY WEEK, so that your results fuel your energy which fuels more results.

Once you commit, suddenly your dream job is weeks away, instead of months and months away!

Reason #3: You're Working Hard - but not on what 'works'

I see you, hard worker. You've been busting your butt! Applying for tens or even hundreds of jobs online. Crafting cover letter after cover letter. Maybe you've even been keeping a master spreadsheet of every application which you're constantly "scroll, scroll, scrolling" through.

But sadly, nothing’s panned out.

You want to know how to break through and make all your time invested worthwhile, but all that energy you had when you first started on this journey is depleting, making it hard to keep giving it your 'all'.

It can feel like you're up job search creek without a paddle.

But the recipe for successful job searching today is one part hard work and one part SMART work.

What you need:

To ditch the strategies that AREN'T working for today's job seekers, and start using a small but powerful set of strategies that you can trust will save you time, land you the interviews and offers you deserve, and keep you energized along the way.

We have access to amazing data today, on what strategies make a difference, and which ones don't. Once you know how to leverage it, your search will get that much easier - and effective! (More detail on this below).

Reason #4: You're Afraid (Who Isn't??)

Job searching is damn scary for just about everyone.

The "what if's" are endless!

“What if they don't respond? What if I get rejected? What if I have nothing to show for all the time and energy I've invested? What if I'm not good enough?”

These fears can stop us from giving our all to this process, and create a self-perpetuating cycle of stuck-ness. But here's the truth: Resisting that fear isn't getting you anywhere.

When you start EMBRACING that fear as an inherent part of the process? That's when you'll start feeling like you can really fly.

What you need:

First, to recognize that by NOT committing to your search, and not taking risks, you're committing to NOT getting the job you want!

My friend, you have to put yourself out there if you want a shot at your dreams. And if you DO put yourself out there, use what works, and follow through, you WILL come out of a job search with positive, life-changing outcomes.

It's time to recognize that the real risk you're facing is NOT achieving your dreams, because you were too scared to try. (More detail on this below)

+ What if I don't know what my dream job is?

Not to worry! Week 1 of the course takes you through the process of defining your dream job before I show you how to land it.

+ What if I don't believe there's one right job for me?

If you're like the vast majority of professionals, I know you are a multi-passionate person who could be happy in a variety of careers.

Week 1 of this course will teach you how to identify the variety of careers you may be interested in, and then how to narrow down that list and identify the career step you want to take NEXT.

You'll master this process, preparing you to navigate all of your future career decisions with confidence.

+ How does this course differ from NSC’s free resources?

First, there’s a LOT of new content in the course: exercises, techniques, worksheets, cheat sheets, and bonus videos you won’t find anywhere else.

Yet interestingly, what many LYDJ participants told me they needed most from this course is the structure, accountability, and focus that propelled them to make week-to-week progress and to stick with their search until they could gleefully say “yes” to an offer.

This course gave them the motivation to say “I’m going the spend the next 9 weeks making it happen,” and then do it.

It’s grounded in the research: when you financially invest in something, you’re more likely to follow through. It signifies your commitment to making change happen, and paves the way for you to stay true to that commitment rather than dipping in, getting overwhelmed and then putting your career happiness on the back burner once again.

So if you want to give your transition (and career happiness!) the greatest chance of success, this course is 1,110% worth the investment.

+ What if I try the course and it isn't for me?

I'm confident that if you do the work, you'll see serious results -- you'll get more interviews, more offers, AND you'll see all of the personal developmental benefits we've promised above as well.

And I'm happy to back that up with a risk-free, 100%, ironclad, money back guarantee. If you are dissatisfied with the course for any reason, you have a full 60 days from purchasing to request a full refund. No questions asked.

+ Am I guaranteed to get a job?

In short, yes.

If you do the work -- you stick with the training, follow the process, and put your full heart into iy -- you WILL get more interviews and offers.

But more importantly, LYDJ graduates tell me that this course brought more than just new jobs into their lives. Benefits like:

• Career clarity and happiness
• Stronger communication skills
• Negotiation skills
• Greater self confidence and self esteem
• Salary raises from $1,000 - $80,000 (yes, you're reading that right!)
• A stronger network with more career opportunities flowing in
• Job search mastery making future transitions even easier

And I can't emphasize enough that this is a risk-free decision.

If you are dissatisfied with the course for any reason, you have 60 days from purchasing to request a full refund, no questions asked.

Truthfully, the only risk you should be concerned about is not investing in yourself and making the decision to finally start creating the future you want and deserve.

+ Is this course for a certain age group or industry?

This course is for all ages and all industries!

When I was working for LinkedIn, I saw firsthand how job searching boils down to best practices that apply to EVERY job seeker. In this course I share with you those best practices - and give you concrete guidance on how to apply these practices to your specific background and needs.

The course has helped and received rave reviews from job seekers of all backgrounds -- recent graduates, mid-career professionals, stay-at-home parents transitioning back into the workforce, professionals with 20+ years of experience who are struggling to figure out their next career adventure or how the new way of job searching works, professionals who have recently been let go, and professionals interested in making a significant career pivot.

+ Who is this course NOT right for?

If you're a C-Suite or Executive-level professional, this course is likely not for you -- you most likely already have the skills, brand and network that this course helps professionals build.

If you're someone who expects a head hunter or recruiter to present you with a golden opportunity without doing anything more than updating your resume, this course is not for you -- while this course does teach you how to craft a resume and LinkedIn profile that increase your chances of getting noticed by recruiters, more importantly it teaches you the networking techniques responsible for 85% of hires, and the interview and negotiation skills that increase your chances of landing the offer and a salary increase. You don't get those kinds of results without work!

If you're someone who feels truly lost about what you want in your career and you want months-long deep soul searching, personality assessments, and to come away with total career certainty, this course is likely not for you. This course is more focused on learning through action, and grounded in the philosophy that there's no ONE dream job for you waiting to be uncovered. Rather, you have an opportunity to build a dream-worthy career, step-by-step, iterating as you and the world around you change, and resting assured that whatever hand life deals you, you have the skills you need to land a job you love.

+ What if I need support?

A free 30-minute coaching session is included in your LYDJ membership. AND all LYDJ participants are invited to join our LYDJ Private Members-Only Facebook Group. There, you not only have the opportunity to receive support and feedback from your fellow LYDJ members -- you also have direct access to ME.

I'll be right there with you, answering your questions, cheering you on along the way, and posting tips, tricks and content to make sure you're up to date on today's latest and greatest job search insights!

+ Do I have to complete the course in 9 weeks, or can I move faster/slower?

You receive access to the entire course the moment you sign up and all videos are on-demand, so you can move at your own pace.

Some people zoom through in just a few weeks, while others appreciate the accountability and structure of weekly lessons and homework.

The best news is, you have lifetime access, so no matter the twists and turns of this job search or the next, LYDJ is there for you when you need it.

+ Can I purchase LYDJ as a gift?

Absolutely! Lots of people have given their spouses, kids, mentees and friends the gift of job search happiness. Just email [email protected] for easy-to-follow instructions and we’ll get your loved one all set up.
