Feeling Stuck in Your Job Search?
Do you find yourself scrolling through endless job postings, only to hit “Apply” over and over without hearing back? Wondering why your job search feels like an uphill battle with little to show for it?
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and there’s a good reason for it. The truth is, only 25% of people get their jobs by applying online. The rest—3 out of 4—find their next role through the hidden job market. So, if you’ve been focusing all your efforts on the published job market, you might be missing out on the best opportunities. And we’re here to help you tap into that hidden market, where relationships, networking, and positioning yourself as the solution to a business problem can make all the difference.
Why is our approach different?
The Job Guy Method isn’t a generic, one-size-fits-all program; it’s a proven, time-tested approach developed from inside the hiring process itself.
John Bates became known as the Job Guy back in 2004 after a seven-year career with one of the world’s largest career management firms. John spent years actively brainstorming and breaking down the hiring process with over 4,000 hiring managers, learning firsthand what decision-makers look for, what resumes stand out, and why certain candidates get the nod over others.
That insider perspective became the foundation of the Job Guy Method. For nearly two decades, it’s helped over 1,700 job seekers navigate their careers with clarity, confidence, and results, from landing competitive internships to securing leadership roles.
This isn’t just theory. It’s a methodology built on real conversations, real hiring insights, and a track record of success that has stood the test of time.
The best part? Now that all of our services are virtual, the Job Guy Method is accessible to clients anywhere in the U.S. Whether you’re in a major city or a small town, we’ll work with you one-on-one to build the tools, strategy, and confidence you need, all from the comfort of your home.
