Applying

YOU ARE PROBABLY GOING ABOUT JOB APPLYING ALL WRONG!

 

You might not know a ton about me... but I know a ton about hiring. 

 

Over the last 20 years, I have pretty much been eating & drinking hiring.

 

I built a company (ApplicantPro) that helps over 10,000 companies with their hiring processes. This means that I've got an insider's view into the process of how they are going about it... and how you can better navigate it.

 

and this is my biggest job seeker takeaway from the last 20 years...

 

Most people are going about it the wrong way.

 

THAT'S WHY I CREATE THESE COURSES AT REFER.IO

#2 Do you have the right strategy?

#3 Are you applying in a way that will get you noticed?
