The Smart Job Hunt Toolkit:

The Online Course

A practical, step-by-step system for international professionals to job hunt with confidence, clarity, and results.

Does job hunting feel messy and overwhelming?

You’re not alone.

Maybe you’ve been:

  • Sending out dozens of applications and hearing nothing back.

  • Struggling to understand different hiring practices across cultures.

  • Wondering why the best jobs seem to be “hidden” and never advertised.

It’s exhausting — and it wastes time and energy.

Here’s the truth: up to 50–80% of jobs are never publicly posted. If your strategy is only to apply through job boards, you’re already missing out on most opportunities.

The good news? There’s a smarter way.

Introducing The Smart Job Hunt Toolkit

This online course gives you a clear, structured approach to job hunting that actually works — especially if you’re living and working internationally.

It’s based on the same methods I teach my coaching clients: focused, intentional, and confidence-building.

You’ll learn exactly how to:

  • Sharpen your focus so you’re applying for the right roles with the right organisations.

  • Build genuine connections that open doors (without 'sleazy' networking).

  • Show your value clearly and get referred for opportunities.

  • Stand out on paper, online, and in person.

  • Negotiate offers with confidence — without second-guessing yourself.

  • Create an action plan you can actually stick to.

🔍 What’s Inside the Course

Each module includes short lessons, practical examples, and simple exercises and templates to help you move forward step by step.

  • Introduction and Course Overview

  • Module 2: Clarify Your Criteria (Phase Zero)
    Define what really matters in your next role — from tasks and pay to culture and work–life balance — so you can focus your search and avoid chasing jobs that don’t fit.

  • Module 3: Sharpen Your Focus
    Define your 'job hunting criteria' and identify the roles & organisations that truly fit.

  • Module 4: Build Real Conversations
    Learn how to connect with people authentically and use networking as relationship-building.

  • Module 5: Show Your Value & Get Referred
    Ask the right questions, demonstrate your impact, and position yourself for referrals.

  • Module 6: Stand Out on Paper, Online & In Person
    Upgrade your CV, LinkedIn, and interview presence — with international context in mind.

    BONUS: Over 40min. on how to build your LinkedIn profile.

    Use the STAR(R) method, confidence techniques, and cross-cultural awareness to impress on interviews.

  • Module 7: Own the Negotiation
    Learn how to prepare, ask with confidence, and spot red flags so you can secure an offer that truly works for you — across cultures.

  • Module 8: Turn Strategy Into Consistent Action
    Build a realistic weekly plan, stay motivated, monitor progress, and keep accountable.

  • Module 9: BONUS
    Practical ways to use AI tools like ChatGPT to polish your CV, practise interview answers or research roles, as well as an extra tool to further develop your career.

More than 2 hours of video content (1h20 in lessons + 0h40 in bonus)

and many other resources!

What Makes This Course Different?

Unlike generic job search advice, this toolkit was designed with international professionals in mind.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Adapt your CV and style to different markets.

  • Handle interviews across cultures with more confidence.

  • Tap into the hidden job market through relationships, not just applications.

This isn’t about sending more CVs.

It’s about sending better ones — and feeling in control of your job search.

Who It’s For (and Not For)?

This course is for you if…

  • You’re job hunting abroad (or will be soon).

  • You’re planning a career move or transition.

  • You want structure, not guesswork.

  • You’re ready to put focused effort into your next steps.

This course is not for you if…

  • You just want to mass-send CVs and hope for luck.

  • You expect instant results without action.

  • You’re not ready to reflect, practise, and apply what you learn.

Ready to build a job hunt approach that works — and feels like you?

Charley West

HEAD OF MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS

“...this was the best investment that I did in my life. I invested time and money to move myself from very deep and dark place where I felt stuck, not motivated, with doubts in myself, to a clear and light path with clear mind, defined goals and tools how to deal with obstacles. (...)

I realised that I have a power to change what I don't like in my life, what I 'only' needed was the clear goal and realising that without it, it is impossible to go forward.

So jump and let Natalia help you to find your own path.”
