The course launches publicly this September. Join the waitlist to be first in line when doors open, with an exclusive early access offer for waitlist members.

I'm looking for 25 committed graduates to be part of the beta launch of my new course, built from 30 years on the hiring side of recruitment. You'll get full access, work through the material properly and give me honest feedback as you go. As a thank you for your time and input, there's also a £200 / US$250 completion gift from me.

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.
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
Get clear on where you are, where you want to go and why having a clear direction changes everything about how you search.
02
Learn how the job market actually works, not how it's described in theory, so you can navigate it with real confidence.
03
Build a CV that clearly communicates your value to employers and stops landing in the no pile for the wrong reasons.
04
Write applications and supporting statements that feel authentic, targeted and genuinely compelling to those reading them.
05
Use LinkedIn as an active job search tool; building visibility, credibility and real connections with the right people.
06
Prepare with a structured approach that replaces panic with clarity and helps you show up as someone employers want to hire.
07
Handle offers, rejections, and decisions with a clear head – so you choose the right role, not just the first one that comes along.
08
Build the mindset and habits to keep momentum going, because resilience and consistency are part of the strategy.

Jackie Bedford – Get Hired Expert, Founder of Step Ahead & 30 years in recruitment
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.

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."
・The full 8-step course: built specifically for graduates
・40+ Downloadable Worksheets and practical frameworks
・Access to exclusive AI tools:
CV Analyser | Job Decoder | Your Professional LinkedIn Presence Coach
・The hiring-side perspective on every stage: CV, cover letter, LinkedIn, interviews
・Live access to me throughout: questions answered, real feedback
・Private What's App group: For interactive support from me and your cohort peers
・ Complete the course, apply what you learn, and walk away with a CV, LinkedIn profile and interview approach that actually gets results.
"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
Honest answers to help you decide, because the founding cohort should be people who genuinely want what this course delivers.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
