Still Applying to the Same Companies as Everyone Else?

If you've been sending applications to the big, recognizable names in your industry and hearing nothing back, you're not imagining that things have gotten worse. Recruiters at well-known companies report receiving hundreds, sometimes thousands, of applications for a single opening.

Research from ManpowerGroup shows 71% of companies, across every size, are struggling to find qualified talent. The problem isn't a lack of jobs, it's that most job seekers are only looking in the crowded market, the visible employers everyone already knows, while overlooking the companies quietly hiring and getting a fraction of the applicants.

That's what this worksheet is for.

This worksheet walks you through identifying your strongest industry lanes, building a target company list that goes beyond the usual suspects, and finding where these employers and their networks are already talking. It also includes AI prompts to speed up the research at every step.

Use the link below to download your copy and start building a target list that gets you in front of employers who are actually looking for someone like you.

My approach centers on helping professionals show up prepared and confident, not on handing them a script. I focus on the strategy behind the process: how hiring decisions actually get made, what employers are really evaluating, and how to translate your value into language that lands as genuine, not rehearsed. Every resource and service I offer is built around that same idea, better preparation leads to stronger conversations. Whether you're reworking a resume, getting ready for interviews, or navigating a career change, I’m here for you.
