For whom?
What and how

In this learning journey you will learn to look at yourself the way HR consultants and HR managers do. These insights will help you maintain a much stronger position in the job market. You'll know who you are, what you can do, and what you want to achieve in your job.

What will I learn?
You will learn to write your job résumé and cover letter, improve your job interview skills, and be in a stronger position to negotiate your employment contract and benefits. Naturally, changing the way you think and do things requires practice. The more you challenge yourself and actively complete the tasks and exercises, the better the results. That's why you can call this training. Even though we at New Heroes call it a learning journey.
What else will you discover during this training? You'll learn the right methods to successfully write letters and to network, online as well as offline. Networking for your work and career doesn't have to be very difficult at all. However, there are a number of game rules you should observe. New Heroes will clarify these for you. Pretty handy, right?

We want to help you with all sorts of advice and tools. It may be that there are different requirements for job résumés in your area than those described in this learning journey. Even the "rules" for a job interview may be different than the ones you are used to. That's why you should take from this course that which is relevant to you and which will help you. The aim is for you to find a job, and you determine what you need in order to make it happen.

What will I do?
You're going to step into the shoes of the person sitting across from you during a job interview. That's because applying for a job isn't really about you but about the other person: your potential new employer. Looking through the eyes of, and thinking like, an employer is the key to finding or being found for your next job. But before we get to this, let's start with you. You're going to work on the questions "Who am I?" "What can I do?" and "What do I want?" You'll view these questions from an employer's perspective. Do you customize your job application to your prospective employer? What do you have to offer this employer? How can you get a recruiter's attention? You're going to position yourself in the market with an offer that a potential employer won't be able to refuse.

In this learning journey you'll learn:

Who you are and what you can do
To look at yourself like an employer does
Practical job application skills
