Lifetime

Everything in The Course, plus the part that makes it stick: the reinforcement coaching.

You write a real job advert, I mark it, give you feedback and together we make it even better. A one-hour, one-to-one session built entirely around your writing — what’s working, what isn’t and exactly what to change and why.

Theory is covered by the course. This adds the reinforcement — practice and personal feedback.

Recruiters who learn best by doing and want their own work looked at and assessed by me.

Anyone wanting a small group booking with fewer than six delegates.

Everything in The Course, start to finish.

A writing assignment — you write a new job advert using what you’ve learnt so far.

A one-hour 1:1 coaching session with me, built around your assignment.

Lifetime access to all the course materials.

Work through it and if you’re not satisfied, let me know within 30 days and we’ll sort it out.

Eleven chapters. Thirty-eight lessons. Then we talk.

What’s next

Practise your ad-writing — then bring it to me

The full course (about three hours), then a personalised one-hour coaching session built around an ad you’ve written.

The feedback is where it lands.

Now, candidates regularly tell me they’re not active, but applied because it felt like the advert was particularly speaking to them. It’s not only helped my job ads, but also my emails, InMails and even text messages.

Kavi Kumar

The MD of a company that I wrote an advert for said: ‘I’d apply for that myself’. Great coaching. It’s changed the way I look at marketing my jobs & myself.

Michael Hewitt

This training really set me on my way to billing more. It also help me review how I communicated and interacted with people, not just via an advert but in person.

Graeme Harper

It’s The Course plus practice and a personal one-hour coaching session with me, built around a real ad you’ve written. Theory, then reinforcement.

Yes — but only once you’ve mastered structure, style and tone of voice. That’s the foundation everything else sits on.

Yes. Work through it and if you’re not satisfied, tell me within 30 days.
