The Career Compass Playbook

A recruiter's step-by-step playbook to land interviews, win offers and grow your career. 110 pages, 14 chapters and a full toolkit of templates, scripts and trackers you can use today.

Most career advice is either too generic ("update your resume and network more") or too theoretical. This playbook is the system I've used across 15 years of recruiting to help graduates, career changers and experienced professionals get clear on their direction, get seen by the right people and get hired.

What's inside

• Finding your direction: work out the roles that actually fit your skills, and set goals you'll follow through on.
• Resume mastery: structure your resume so the important lines jump out in the first few seconds of a recruiter's scan, plus an ATS scan guide.
• LinkedIn that gets you seen: headline, About section and profile tweaks that make recruiters reach out to you.
• Smart applications, networking and recruiters: how to target roles, message people without being awkward, and turn recruiters into allies.
• The interview preparation formula: a repeatable way to prepare, plus how to answer the tough questions with confidence.
• Salary negotiation: what to say, when to say it, and a negotiation toolkit.
• Your first 90 days and long-term growth: start strong in the new role and keep moving forward.

The toolkit (included)

• Recruiter-approved resume template
• LinkedIn optimisation checklist
• 10 tough interview questions and how to answer them, plus interview answer worksheets
• Salary negotiation toolkit
• Recruiter outreach and networking scripts
• Job search calendar and progress tracker
• Editable Google Docs and Sheets versions, plus linked video lessons

Who it's for

• Graduates and early-career professionals trying to land their first role
• Career changers, including people moving into cybersecurity or tech
• Experienced professionals ready for a promotion or a pivot

Moving into cybersecurity specifically? The Cybersecurity Job-Ready Blueprint goes deeper on certs, projects and a 90-day plan. Many readers get both.

"The Career Compass Playbook gave me exactly what I was missing, clarity and a plan. I'd been applying for jobs with no direction, but this ebook helped me understand how recruiters think and how to actually stand out."
