Daryl had been out of work for close to a year. He had already paid for other career coaching services and tried his hand in a tough market, with little to show for it. He landed a Director of Revenue Technology role at Anaplan within 40 days of onboarding with us.
A year of effort, then 40 days
The contrast is the point, and it rules out the obvious explanation. Nothing about his experience changed in those 40 days. What changed was what he was aiming at and how he was described.
His own account is that he had been all over the place in his applications before working with us. The first thing that changed was narrowing his value proposition into a specific niche, and then carrying that consistently through the resume, the networking and how he positioned himself in interviews.
Targeted networking, not volume
“Our targeted approach to networking yielded him some key interviews where he was a really strong fit, despite a thousand other candidates competing for the same roles.”
That is the same mechanism other clients here describe from the other side: being one of a thousand applicants in a queue is a different game from arriving as a known name with a specific fit already argued.
What he says he would change
“He wished that he had started sooner.”
He found us by following our clients' results on LinkedIn before he ever got in touch, which is worth noting given he had already been burned by other coaching services.
