You got the interview. *Yay( …. Now what?!!!
Getting invited to interview is a win, but so many people throw it away in the room. Not through lack of ability, but through entirely avoidable mistakes.
Talking too much. Talking too little. Not preparing questions to ask at the end. Arriving without knowing what the company actually does. And then walking out and going silent, when a well-judged follow-up message can genuinely make the difference in clinching that job
Interviews are a skill, and skills can be learnt. Knowing what employers are really listening for, how to structure your answers, how to present yourself with confidence rather than nerves... these are not mysteries. They are techniques that stay with you once you have them.
At FIND that Job! we cover exactly this.
📅 The next cohort starts 10th June. Places are limited, so if you are ready to walk into interviews with genuine confidence, come and join us.

Your CV is an argument
Ever feel like your CV is basically just a glorified diary? Or maybe you've wondered why a perfectly qualified candidate gets passed over while someone else secures the interview?
Here’s a little secret that completely changes the game: A CV is not just a list of things you’ve done. It’s an argument.
Think about it this way—your CV is actively making a case to the reader that says: *"I am the right person for this role, and here is my absolute proof." Most CVs don't miss the mark because the person lacks experience. They fail because they’re structured like a passive timeline of the past. But what if we flipped the script?
A truly powerful CV:
- Leads with relevance, not just chronological history
- Quantifies the impact—think budgets managed, teams led, and real results delivered
- Mirrors the language of the specific role and organisation
- Makes the recruiter's job incredibly easy (trust us, they will love you for this)
This is especially true in highly competitive spaces like the EU and UN, where panels sift through dozens of brilliant, equally qualified candidates. The applications that actually make the cut? They’re the ones that build the clearest argument.
Curious about how to transform your own experience into a compelling case?
In our upcoming cohort of FIND that Job!, Module 2 is entirely dedicated to helping you master this crucial strategy and craft a CV that stands out.
The details:
🚀 **Course opens:** 10 June
👥 **Spaces available:** Only 6 places
💰 **Investment:** EUR 185

EARN with The Development Alchemists - The Blocks to Build on!
One of the most frustrating realities in business development is that completing a course, no matter how good it is, does not automatically translate into revenue, new clients or lasting professional relationships. Too many programmes leave participants energised in the training room but without the practical tools to convert that enthusiasm into actual income. EARN was designed precisely to close that gap. It cuts straight to the heart of what it takes to succeed, covering the full arc of client engagement from smart, targeted marketing and confident selling through to skilled consulting and the intelligent use of artificial intelligence as a practical business tool rather than a gimmick.
Beyond the mechanics of winning business, EARN takes participants into the equally vital territory of appreciation, exploring how recognising and valuing the efforts of both clients and team members creates the kind of loyalty and trust that no marketing budget can buy. This is a programme that understands business as a deeply human endeavour, and it shows.
What truly sets EARN apart is its unflinching commitment to the inner game of business success, recognising that knowledge alone is never enough if it cannot be turned into consistent action and measurable results. The resilience strand gives participants the frameworks and self-awareness to navigate the inevitable pressures of professional life without losing momentum or direction, addressing both personal wellbeing and organisational durability in equal measure. Then comes negotiation, where the programme pulls together assertiveness, emotional intelligence and principled deal-making into a cohesive and immediately applicable skillset. These are not abstract theories but living, breathing competencies that participants will carry into every client conversation, every team meeting and every challenging moment their business throws at them.
EARN does not just develop professionals, it shapes them into confident, grounded and exceptionally capable ones who can genuinely capture new clients, retain existing ones and build the kind of recurring business that turns learning into lasting success.
