Weeks 1, 2: The Inside Job — Building Your Foundation
You’ll develop a deep understanding of what you are truly gifted at doing and your own internal motivations for doing it. We’re all wired differently; you’ll clarify your own wiring and develop an accurate inventory of who you are and what you care about. Your own sweet-spot lies at the intersection of your personal wiring, your interests, values and beliefs, and your work and life experiences. Through a systematic probing of this intersection you will hone in on your “superpower” and develop specific language that best expresses your attributes, capabilities and work personality. In turn, this builds your clarity and confidence, setting you up for creating a truly powerful value proposition and associated story to share with the world.
Weeks 3-5: Developing A Personal Brand — Your Compelling Value Story
Once you’re comfortable with the “who you are” part, what comes next? Quite simply, you need to tell your audience “how you add value”, and you need to be specific, compelling, confident and consistent. Where do you tell this story? You tell it everywhere — this includes your CV, your LinkedIn profile, social media activities, and your visual and verbal presentation cues. While a straightforward step, it involves a lot of work to get the story crisp and compelling. One place you need to stand out is on LinkedIn; it is where everyone – recruiters, employers, employees and job seekers — come together. LinkedIn is your online starting point; there are many other “social media” steps you can take which build off of your story, CV, and your LinkedIn positioning.
Weeks 6-8: The Outside Job — Modern Networking and Job Hunting Skills
Disciplined networking is all about your willingness and ability to “put yourself out there” on a regular basis — through networking events, seeking information meetings, conducting associated research, and the like. You will learn the science behind effective networking, and practice connecting to people in both our online and offline worlds. We often think that networking is just “Type A Personality” activity, however as you learn the science behind it, you can get a much needed edge – empowering you to grow your network dramatically and develop your own powerful opportunity pipeline. You will learn these principles through self and group instruction, and you’ll build confidence through multiple real-time fast paced speed networking activities.

Praise for Career Constructors’ approach…
I participated in the Bootcamp after a few years out of paid work, as I was trying to transition into a new field of work. The concrete steps laid out in Tim’s approach, really helped me focus and deliver on what I needed to do. From asking deep questions of myself about my career sweet spot, to planning a specific approach to networking in order to land the ideal position, the process provided what I needed to make my vision a reality. I am now being paid to do exactly what I wanted to do. Thank you, Tim! [G.H.]
This is a different approach. You have us focus on our overall career, not a specific job. That way, rather than trying to fit into someone else’s boxes, I get to figure out the shape I want to be and offer that out to the world. The end result brought me together as a complete picture, that focuses on a tight long range vision for myself. Very powerful stuff! [M.B.C.]
In less than 90 minutes of working with Tim, he had me thinking about my overall story very differently. He identified a number of ways to tell a much more engaging, powerful story and left me with clear next steps to put it into practice. With the Bootcamp process, I was able to present myself much more powerfully to recruiters and network contacts and in short order I got 3 formal offers put to me. [J.S.]
I attended some paid training courses from Tim & Career Constructors in 2016. It was the most profitable money I ever spent, and I recommend his book and workshops every chance I get! [D.M.]
This is one of the best value for money and time sessions that I have ever attended in my 20 year career! Excellent facilitation skills & tangible knowledge sharing. Thank you. I am energized and ready for my next chapter equipped with my new skills and knowledge. Excellent coaching! You made everyone feel at ease in a safe environment. Bravo! [P.G.]
