Welcome to
Job Application Coach
A range of online training and coaching packages to help you find, apply for and secure your ideal job
Getting a job might sound simple. But, in reality, it's not simple at all.
Job hunting takes a lot of time, effort and resilience.
You need to know about the job market and how and where to search for the right opportunities, and an ability to articulate and sell your capabilities to convince recruiters that you’re a match to the vacancy and worth an interview.
Not easy when you could be up against dozens or even hundreds of other candidates, with an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) or psychometric tests to navigate. But with the right tools and mindset, you can overcome these challenges and land your ideal job.
At Job Application Coach our aim is simple: to help you get the job you really want
Whether that's via our online training programme, coaching support or outplacement services

“From preparing the application, through to preparation for the interview, including an extremely thorough mock interview, Elaine's knowledge and expertise proved invaluable". Chief Executive, Education sector
For over 30 years, we worked as consultants, advising organisations how to recruit, interview and select the best candidates. Our expertise ranged from developing recruitment strategies and campaigns, creating job descriptions, person specifications and advertisements, to running assessment centres, training interviewers and managing the entire recruitment process from start to finish. As a result, we know what decision makers want from candidates - at the application stage and right through to the interview.
This experience and knowledge has gone into creating Job Application Coach. An online training programme that helps job seekers to get selected for interview and offered a job.
We're also experienced career coaches
“I will always be grateful that I picked up the phone to Elaine and I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone who is looking for coaching support”. Director, Public sector
As consultants, we were often asked by senior managers and professionals to help them secure their next job, or to hold on to the one they already had - for example, during a period of restructuring. So when it comes to the job market and supporting people through job and career changes, we know what we’re talking about.

JAC ONLINE
A FLEXIBLE ONLINE PROGRAMME CONSISTING OF FOUR MODULES TO CHOOSE FROM
JAC online is a tried and tested programme with video, audio and written content, covering everything you need to help you secure your next job.
The programme has four modules reflecting the stages typically involved in job seeking: searching for a job; matching your skills to a job opportunity; applying for the role and then performing well at the interview. There is the option to personalise the programme, choosing only the modules you need, from one module to the complete programme of 4 modules.
If you're looking for advice about the best job sites to use, not sure what your next career move should be, or you’re struggling to write a compelling CV, complete psychometric tests or perform well at interviews, JAC covers all of this and more.
A client workbook - written by a recruitment expert – leads you through a series of activities to enable you to apply the advice and guidance included in the programme’s expert content. There are also tools, techniques and downloadable templates you can use in your own ‘live’ job search.
If you want job support that is outcome focussed, personalised to your own needs and with the ability to work at your own pace and schedule, then JAC online is the right choice for you.
