This is the ultimate pack for job hunters, guides, templates and thoughts to help you with your job-hunting journey.
Especially if you’re a standard job seeker and think, “This isn’t the same as I remember,” you’re right. I’ve been in recruitment for over 21 years, and it has changed a lot. But the basics are still the same: etiquette matters, effort matters, and being yourself still goes a long way.
The downloadable documents in this blog cover things you may already know, things you may have forgotten, and things that are simply worth doing properly.
Job Tracker – Start with an easy tracking spreadsheet. This will help you keep track of which roles you’ve applied for, who you’ve contacted, and when to chase. Keep it updated weekly. It won’t be for everyone, but if you’re applying for quality over quantity, it will help.
CV Template – A straightforward CV template you can use and adapt. It gives you a good overview of a standard CV layout – no fluff.
Applying for Jobs Guide – A guide to finding and applying for jobs in 2026, with ideas, thoughts and practical advice to support your job hunt.
Interview Prep Pack – We all need to prepare for interviews. This pack covers what to do before, during and after the interview, with a practical walkthrough to help you feel more prepared.
Before You Accept Pack – Hopefully, you get offered a job. This guide helps you think through the offer properly, including what to check, how to handle the offer, and how to deal with counteroffers.
Resignation Pack – The all-important, nerve-racking resignation. This includes a short guide, templates to help you resign professionally, and a few things to consider before handing in your notice.
Hopefully, something in here will help you with your job hunt. Finding a job today can be difficult to navigate. Make sure you’re doing the right things, not just doing more things. But as I say, the simplest things – like being yourself, showing good etiquette, and keeping organised – haven’t changed.
