The Bootcamp Methodology

The foundation of the Bootcamp is the Job Hunt Bootcamp Methodology I’ve developed after having helped ambitious professionals at all levels and in a myriad of roles and industries through the job hunt process.

Using my methodology, you’ll get:

  • 100% CLARITY on what your dream job looks like…and how to find it

  • A new resume and LinkedIn profile that will get you RESULTS

  • The ability to tell your story so you’ll STAND OUT

  • RELAXED and WORRY-FREE with a clear, easy-to-follow job hunt strategy

  • A strategy to maximize your chances of getting MULTIPLE OFFERS

  • CONFIDENCE to go into the job hunt ready for success

  • Everything you need to ROCK your interviews

  • The tools you’ll need to negotiate the BEST POSSIBLE OFFER

  • The power to say NO to opportunities that aren’t good for you

In the Bootcamp, you’ll learn my methodology through an easy-to-follow, well-structured online curriculum where I’ll teach you every aspect of the Job Hunt Methodology through a series of powerful, concise videos.

Since it’s online, you can go at your own pace, on your own time. And if you have questions or need help along the way, I’m there to help through coaching and support.

As Elizabeth said after she found her job with my help (link to conversation):

“When you are working, initially it’s hard to find the time and the focus of finding that new role. So what I really needed was the structure and the process of the steps that I would need to go through to find a new role. I think as experienced leaders we all know what we need to do. We know the networking we need to do. We know all the people we need to reach out to. You know – in your heart, your gut – everything you need to do. But to have it all laid out in front of you…you need to do these fifteen steps, you need to work from an order…really helps you stay focused on what a job transition would look like.”

1:1 and Group Coaching with Horst

As you go through your job hunt, I’ll be there by your side COACHING you and GUIDING you every step of the way. Every week, we get together as a group. Think of it as our weekly 1:1…in a group context.

In our weekly sessions, I’ll help you wherever you are in the process, whether you’re struggling getting started or you’re juggling multiple offers and uncertain how to pick the best job. Every week I also do a deep dive into a special topic so you’ll get even more insight and guidance as your job hunt progresses.

And at key points in your job hunt, we meet 1:1 so you’ll get PERSONALIZED 1:1 COACHING and help from me, especially around your resume, LinkedIn profile, and story. And once you have an offer (or multiple offers, if all goes well), I’ll meet with you privately to help you with offer negotiation so you don’t leave any money on the table.

As KD said after she found her job with my help (link to conversation):

“Having those weekly group sessions really helped me because job hunting can be a very lonely process. You can't talk with people, you don't know who to talk with and ask for guidance. Talking with people in the group sessions helped me because not only was everybody going through something similar, but they were going through something different and just getting a different perspective, sharing your experiences and learning from others – that really helped me. And when you start looking at other people with their success stories, that really motivates you and encourages you to work harder towards your goal.”

The Bootcamp Community

When you enroll in the Bootcamp, you’re not just getting a coach and a job hunt methodology. You’re getting a SUPPORT SYSTEM that’s designed to help you get your dream job faster and more easily.

The Bootcamp is a COMMUNITY of job hunters. Everyone is in the same boat. And everyone helps each other out.

The community comes together as a group every week in the WEEKLY COACHING SESSIONS.

I also invite everyone in the Bootcamp to join our PRIVATE ONLINE COMMUNITY where you have access to me and each other 24/7 between the weekly sessions.

With the Bootcamp Community, you’ll get:

  • Friendly HELP AND SUPPORT whenever you need it

  • A SAFE PLACE to share your fears, insecurities, challenges and frustrations

  • A SUPPORTIVE environment to share and celebrate your wins

  • The PERSPECTIVES of other professionals at all career levels

  • INSIGHT into different types of roles and industries

  • ACCESS to the networks of everyone else in the program

  • INTRODUCTIONS to people who can help you get your dream job

  • Someone to PRACTICE interviewing with, whenever you need it

As Larry said after he found his job with my help (link to conversation):

“I felt like I was involved in a community and the community was of people that were in the same situation – either in between jobs or in jobs and looking for new jobs. Very diverse group of people. Younger, older, senior, junior, but all in the same boat. And I thrive off of those kinds of groups, because then I didn't feel all alone. And in my prior activities of trying to find jobs, I kind of felt alone. I also was part of a small group called a Success Team. One of the people in my success team had been through the process with the same employer and gave me what I would describe as ‘hot tips’ on what to do, and what not to do, which was successful because that was the job I ended up taking.”

And, best of all, you have the option to join a SUCCESS TEAM — small groups that meet regularly and provide support, motivation, and accountability. Think of your teammates as your Bootcamp Buddies.
