WHY I'M DOING THIS

This course is built to get you hired. Here's how I want to prove it.

Before I launch Get The Job You Want to the public, I want to work with a small group of graduates who are serious about securing the job they want. People who will go through the training properly, apply the strategies and give me honest feedback on their experience.

In return, you get full access to the complete course, the worksheets and the custom-built AI tools, plus a private WhatsApp group with direct access to me and live sessions where I'll answer your questions and provide individual advice and guidance in real time.

I'm looking for graduates who want to get hired and are ready to do the work to make that happen. This is a tried and tested blueprint, built from 30 years on the hiring side, and I want to put it directly into the hands of people who are serious about using it.

WHAT'S INSIDE THE GET THE JOB YOU WANT COURSE

Everything you need to go from applications to offers

Most career advice tells you what to do. This course tells you how the employer sees it and that changes everything. I cover 8 key areas:

01

Getting Orientated

Get clear on where you are, where you want to go and why having a clear direction changes everything about how you search.

02

Understand the Market

Learn how the job market actually works, not how it's described in theory, so you can navigate it with real confidence.

03

CV's That Get You Noticed

Build a CV that clearly communicates your value to employers and stops landing in the no pile for the wrong reasons.

04

Cover Letters That Work

Write applications and supporting statements that feel authentic, targeted and genuinely compelling to those reading them.

05

LinkedIn Done Strategically

Use LinkedIn as an active job search tool; building visibility, credibility and real connections with the right people.

06

Interview Strategy

Prepare with a structured approach that replaces panic with clarity and helps you show up as someone employers want to hire.

07

Offers and Decisions

Handle offers, rejections, and decisions with a clear head – so you choose the right role, not just the first one that comes along.

08

Stay In The Game

Build the mindset and habits to keep momentum going, because resilience and consistency are part of the strategy.

WHO THIS IS FOR

This isn't for everyone, here's what I'm looking for:

You're a graduate currently seeking employment, or preparing to imminently enter the graduate job market.
You're ready to commit to completing the course. Not just signing up and letting it sit.
You'll take action and implement the strategies. This is a tried and tested approach, but only if you put it into practice.
You'll give honest feedback throughout and complete a final survey at the end of the course.

I'm looking for graduates who are willing to back themselves and put in the work to get hired. If that's you, I want to help you get there.

YOUR COURSE LEADER

Jackie Bedford

I've spent three decades on the hiring side of the table. I know how CVs get screened, how interviews are really assessed and why so many talented graduates get overlooked – not because they're not good enough, but because they don't know how the process actually works.

Get The Job You Want is built entirely from that experience. Not from career advice textbooks. Not from what sounds motivational. From what actually makes hiring managers sit up and take notice.

Before I launch this to the wider market, I want to work with a small group of graduates who will go through it properly and help me make it as strong as it can be. In return, I'm offering something genuinely different – full access, direct support and a payment when you complete it.

"I've seen what gets graduates hired. I've seen what gets them overlooked. This course exists to close that gap."

TESTIMONIALS

Hear from people who got hired

"Jackie's coaching was invaluable as it gave me the confidence in myself that enabled me to go into the interview prepared and a lot less anxious than I would have been. Without her help I would have really struggled at the interview but instead I got the job that I had really wanted."

– Kristina Harper

"Thanks to Jackie's support and career advice, I was able to gain hands-on experience that has had a real impact on my confidence and career progression. I can't thank her enough and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a career advisor who is genuinely supportive and proactive."

– George Herbert

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked

Honest answers to help you decide, because the founding cohort should be people who genuinely want what this course delivers.

What is the Get The Job You Want Course?

It is a self-paced online course I built for UK graduates who are doing everything they were told to do and still not getting interviews or offers. It covers 8 steps: getting clear on your direction, understanding how hiring really works, building a CV that gets read, writing strong applications, using LinkedIn properly, preparing for interviews and what to do after, all from my perspective as someone who spent 30 years making those decisions.

How is this different from generic career advice?

Most career advice tells you what to do. I tell you how the employer sees it and that changes everything. When you understand how hiring decisions are actually made, the CV looks different, the cover letter reads differently and the interview feels completely different. Everything in this course comes from the hiring side of the table, not from a textbook.

Why are you paying participants?

Because I value your time and I want genuinely honest feedback, not the kind people give when they feel they got something for nothing. I'm investing in a small group of committed graduates because I'm confident in what this programme can do. The payment is my way of showing that.

Is this just a paid research study?

No. The payment is secondary. What you're getting is a complete, structured course built from 30 years of hiring experience, with direct access to me, live sessions, AI tools and 40+ practical worksheets. The payment is the thank you. The programme is the opportunity.

What if I don't have much experience? Is it still for me?

That is exactly who I built this course for. The strategies in it are designed specifically for graduates who are starting out, not experienced professionals changing careers. In my experience, "not enough experience" is almost always a positioning problem, not an actual lack of value. I show you how to fix that.

What does "founding cohort" mean in practice?

You'll be among the first 25 people to go through the course before it launches publicly. That means direct access to me throughout, the ability to shape the final version through your feedback and a level of personal support that won't be available at scale once we open to the wider market.

How long does the course last?

The course is self-paced across 8 steps. However for the founding cohort I will run this throughout July and August. I ask that founding cohort members complete the first 5 steps within the first 14 days to get the most from the live sessions and group support. I'll share a more detailed timeline on acceptance so you'll have full clarity on timing before you commit.

When do I receive the completion gift?

The completion gift is made once you have fulfilled all the course requirements: completed the course, provided feedback throughout, filled in the final survey and attended the end feedback session. Full details are provided on acceptance.

Ready to back yourself?
