One of our core commitments as an executive search firm is to treat candidates with the utmost respect and offer useful guidance—wherever they are in the hiring process. And not just those actively engaged with us. We want to support any job seeker looking for a fulfilling role that will enable them to do their best work.
That’s why we create resources to help candidates navigate everything from starting a job search and conducting smart research to negotiating effectively when an offer is on the table.
Often, our tips counter the deluge of outdated or unhelpful advice out there. But every once in a while, we come across a resource that’s spot on. And Never Search Alone, by Phyl Terry, is one of them.
Do You Really Need Another Job Search Guide?
Here’s the thing: the job market is constantly changing. And the world of work today looks drastically different than even five years ago. So what worked the last time you were job hunting may not work so well now. Anything that offers a fresh lens on how to position yourself can give you an edge. And that’s what Never Search Alone offers.
Why We Like This So Much
In our Guide to Senior Executive Job Search, we encourage job seekers to pinpoint their “career superpowers” before reading a single job description. It’s about identifying what you do better than most and targeting organizations that need those skills. Our guidance teaches you how to communicate the value of your unique capabilities in a way that is relevant to the hiring organization.
Never Search Alone offers similar advice, framed as “candidate-market fit,” but with emphasis on peer support and working through the emotional aspects of a job search in a tough market. They offer a suite of practical tools, networking groups, and, if you’re up for it, a full program to help you land the job you want with fewer headaches along the way. It’s all free and volunteer-led.
Whether you’re actively job hunting or just thinking about the next step, it’s well worth a look. Find Never Search Alone resources here.
