February Cohort

Imagine landing interviews within weeks, not months, while spending less time on applications. You're an ambitious, accomplished high performer who KNOWS that outsourcing and automating can work.&nbsp; But you haven't gotten around to it... You're held back by: → Constant job stress from balancing applications with your current workload. → Overwhelmed by the thought of tailoring countless resumes and cover letters. → Procrastinating because the job search feels like a never-ending task. → Fear of losing money by missing out on better job opportunities or wasting time on ineffective searches. → No clear plan to efficiently navigate the competitive job market. → Not knowing where to start with AI, automation, or how to effectively leverage your time. LET ME GUESS... → You KNOW that hiring VAs works, you’ve seen other people do it, you just don’t know how to get started. → You feel overwhelmed by the idea of a job search. You’re applying to openings - but nothing is happening! → You hear people tell you to match your resume to the job but you’re not sure how to do that efficiently without spending hours and risking burnout → You already spend time on searching and applying to jobs, you just don’t know how to optimize your time spent. HAVE YOU EVER... → Let the fear of leaving your comfort zone stand in the way of huge career and earnings value? → Watched your friends or colleagues seemingly get new jobs all the time, wondering how they get offers so easily? → Watched other professionals that aren’t even talented as you, make more money just because they job hop? ARE YOU… → Mid-career or Early-career professional? You have at least 2-5 years of experience or more and are looking to advance or shift your career path. You’re eager to move up the ladder or find a role that better aligns with your skills and aspirations. → Currently Employed or Underemployed? You are working full-time or part-time but are passively or actively seeking new opportunities. You need a discreet and efficient job search process that fits around your current job responsibilities. Or you’re working in a role below your qualifications or in a temporary position and want to secure a more stable or challenging job. → Tech-savvy Professional? You’re in a tech-related field, you’re comfortable with technology, and you see the value in using AI and automation tools in your job search. → Corporate Role? You’re in tech, business, finance, marketing, HR, or other corporate functions where job application processes can be rigorous and competitive. → Urban Location or Remote? You’re living in or near major metropolitan areas where competition for jobs can be fierce, and standing out to employers is crucial, OR you’re interested in working remotely and need a broader strategy to apply for jobs across different regions or time zones. THEN YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE! - You'll learn the exact systems, strategies, and process to automate your job search. - You'll skyrocket your salary, job opportunities, and career growth. - You'll overcome your fear of "putting yourself out there" and create career reputation value with new titles. Your time and mental energy is finite and you are protecting it for more valuable dollar-per-hour tasks by outsourcing the grunt work. Many see outsourcing as just a way to optimize the earning value of their time, but it’s so much more than that. With the right strategy and approach, you can leverage automation and outsourcing to improve your quality of life, spend more time with family, hobbies and special interests AND make more money in your field.&nbsp; Now YOU get to choose&nbsp; You may be thinking: How do I stay motivated to keep applying? How can I find the time? How many applications is it going to take for this to be over? What if I don’t land a job quickly? Will hiring VAs actually help me? Can I manage this process on my own? All of these questions were in my head when I started hiring VAs a few years ago. I thought VAs were only for businesses. It was too corporate and professional. I didn’t know if it would be worth it for tasks that I could do myself. I couldn’t see the dollar value of my time or energy. I used to be in your shoes, overwhelmed and unsure. But by shifting my approach to positioning myself as a vendor of my skills while leveraging AI and VAs, everything changed. And I wanted to sell those skills to employers at the highest market value. And thanks to AI-driven automation and strategic use of outsourcing, everything changed. - I was consistently landing high-quality job offers by streamlining your application process. - I reclaimed my time and reduced stress by delegating repetitive tasks to virtual assistants. - I gained more mental bandwidth for strategic career planning as AI handles the heavy lifting. - I achieved a better work-life balance by freeing up time to spend with family and on personal pursuits. - I created a lifestyle and career that aligns with my goals by finding roles that truly fit my needs. - I maximized my earning potential by securing top-paying positions through optimized job search strategies, increasing my earnings by hundreds of thousands of dollars over the last few years…&nbsp; I'm finally teaching you how to do the same. In this course, I will share everything that I have learned with you during my outsourcing journey, including my systematic approach to generating dozens of interview requests month after month, finding jobs, nailing interviews and more, and reclaiming your time to never worry about jobs ever again while you build the life you want. Ready to transform your job search, start receiving six-figure offers within weeks, and reclaim control of your career?&nbsp; Don’t miss out on this opportunity to transform your job search — join the next cohort today and reclaim your time and career. *please note - seats are limited to preserve the quality of instruction*
