Intro to Hiring

Welcome to Hiring at Turing College — your six-month fast-track to career success! This game-changing phase of our career program kicks off as soon as you receive your Turing College endorsement. It will help you bridge the gap between your academic achievements and your professional goals, providing you with the resources and support you need to land your dream job.

As you transition from endorsement to Hiring, you'll gain access to a range of career support services designed to enhance your professional profile. Whether you're switching fields, seeking a new role, or aiming for a promotion, here's how we’ll help you:

• Professional guidance: Give you expert insights for navigating the job market complexities like a pro.

• Personalized attention: Help you tailor your job search and polish your professional profiles to make a strong impact.

• Confidence building: Through comprehensive preparation, help you gain the confidence you need to get ahead in your career.

• Negotiation skills: Teach you the key negotiation skills to secure the job offers or promotions you deserve.

• Resource facilitation: Give access to a variety of resources to support your career development and job search.

Once you've earned your endorsement, the Hiring stage begins, opening doors to strategic guidance, personalized support, and connections with potential employers. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Endorsement Completion

As your endorsement is confirmed, both you and your assigned learner hiring manager (LHM) receive notifications about your transition to the active job-seeking phase. Your profile is upgraded to “ready for hiring” status, signaling that you’re preparing to enter the job market. This activates various career services tailored just for you.

2. Hiring Intro Session

You’ll receive an email with instructions on how to book your hiring intro session, where you’ll meet your LHM. During this session, we’ll explore your job interests and introduce you to the tools and resources we use to support your job search. This step is crucial as it lays the groundwork for your personalized job search strategy.

3. Continued Support and Job Search 

Following the intro session, you can book consultations with your LHM if needed. These sessions are designed to address any job search challenges and to provide the guidance you need to stay on track.

You're in the driver's seat when it comes to applying for jobs. While we provide recommendations, the primary responsibility for job applications rests with you. This includes both using the opportunities we provide and exploring other avenues relevant to your career goals.

4. Securing Employment

Once you achieve your immediate career goals — whether it’s landing a new job, transitioning into a different field, or advancing within your current role — you’ll need to inform your LHM. Provide the details of your professional progress so we can update our systems, track your transition, and celebrate your success, no matter what form it takes.

Your LHM is your ultimate ally in maximizing your Hiring experience. As your primary point of contact, your LHM ensures that you fully benefit from every aspect of the program. Here’s what your LHM brings to the table:

• Customization: From the moment your endorsement is confirmed, your LHM supports you in crafting a job search strategy that aligns with your career goals.

• Guidance and support: Through regular check-ins, your LHM offers ongoing guidance and support, helping you tackle any career-related challenges and stay on track to reach your goals.

• Resource coordination: Your LHM connects you with the specific resources and tools you need at each stage of your career development, ensuring seamless integration with your personal goals.

• Strategic advice: Your LHM provides expert advice on career development, job search strategies, and professional growth to help you make informed decisions about your career trajectory.

The Hiring stage officially spans six months following your endorsement, but the resources and foundational strategies we provide are designed to benefit you long after this period. During these six months, you’ll receive full support through consultations and personalized guidance, setting the stage for sustained career development.

Even after the formal six-month support concludes, the connections you've made, the skills you've gained, and the strategies you've learned will continue to shape your career progression. We encourage you to stay engaged with the Turing College community and use the network and knowledge you've developed to navigate future career challenges and opportunities.
