Frequently Asked Questions
"What is this new Membership?"
Membership is our way of getting valuable career resources and coaching to more people who need them and helping professionals like you safeguard their careers with knowledge and support.
"What is Job Hunt School?"
Job Hunt School is the world’s first online tactical career management school of its kind. A 5-module, video-based curriculum that shows you, step-by-step, how to build a career that reflects your values, safeguards your freedom, and teaches you how to market yourself and manage your career as a consummate professional, and as a free and autonomous person.
"How is this different from other programs?"
JHS is for you if you have a good grasp of the basics and want to use your bargaining chips wisely. You're ready to plan and execute a higher-level job search or maybe change careers. You want to take control of your career instead of having your current or future boss call the shots. We do cover things like resumé and cover letter but the focus is on more progressive tactics for more experienced, ambitious, high-achievers who have high expectations of their careers and don't have time to learn by hit-or-miss over time.
"Who is this for?"
JHS is for experienced, independence-driven professionals who seek high levels of success and value their freedom. You may feel impatient with the glacial pace of the average career growth. You know there's "privileged information" that's rarely shared and can take years to compile on your own and you want to expedite that process. You seek mastery and you're okay breaking away from the herd. Notes for Prospective Scholars will give you more insight into whether Job Hunt School is a fit.
Good questions to ask yourself: what will happen if you don't do this? Where will I be in a year? Is what I'm doing working?
"What if I need help or have a question specific to my situation?"
You'll also be able to talk with Courtney and her team and other members. We're here to support you 9-4 Eastern Time 5 days a week. Those are our "official" hours, but like you, we're online a lot more often than that. Don't be surprised if you get an after-hours response.
Our team is here to support you and we're very responsive. You can ask questions in the comments section of our private learning platform 24/7 and see the questions and answers of other scholars.
"What if I want a live coach"
You'll be assigned a coach when you begin. Usually, this is Courtney, but not always. That coach will provide unlimited email support and you can book a single or package at members-only reduced pricing here.
"Why not just get someone to do my resume for me?"
If you're looking for the next job and are happy to be chosen rather then choose and have the budget to pay someone else to take the reins for you every time you look for job or have a career choice to make, Job Hunt School is probably not for you.
"Is there a guarantee?"
Yes, we do this so there's no risk to you. Job Hunt School comes with a 100% money-back guarantee. You can see that here. TLDR: members can cancel at any time,
