Free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it): “How to generate job interviews”.

During this interactive meeting we’ll explain:

– how to write cover emails that generate interviews (practical examples!)
– how to manage your inbox and make sure you don’t miss out on any opportunity
