The purpose of the Job Hunt Compass workshop is to serve, as its name says it, a "compass". A tool used to find the North and chart the path towards the desired destination, in this case, a job abroad. It was designed by a Job Hunter for other Job Hunters.
Improve your relationship with your job search. The Job Hunt Compass equips you with tools to approach your job search in a more comprehensive and manageable manner. It has the potential to be transformative, but the extent of its impact ultimately depends on your willingness and openness to fully embrace the process.
Reset your mindset. The workshop provides valuable practices to help you shift your perspective and overcome the emotional and mental challenges that often accompany job hunting abroad. Finding a job in a foreign country may be challenging, but it is not impossible.
Boost your story and how you communicate it in your CV, cover letters, and more. Your story is your greatest ally. What narrative are you using to tell it? Are you acting from a proactive or passive standpoint? Are you making the most of what you have? Give your story a boost and pitch it!
Optimize your job search strategy. Create consistency in how you navigate the process, generate new contacts, and the increase opportunities of landing your job.

Strategy
The Job Hunt Canvas was developed based on the Strategizer Business Model Canvas. It is a tool that provides an overview of all the elements proposed in the Job Hunt Compass. The JH Canvas helps systematize key information and streamlines the process of creating content such as cover letters, emails, CVs, and more, while keeping your narrative and available resources in focus.
