Understanding the Market (Complete Guide) - Session 1

The executive job search starts long before you update your resume. This video gives you the foundation to navigate today's leadership hiring landscape.

Traditional job search strategies that worked a decade ago don't apply to executive roles anymore. Before you optimize your LinkedIn or prep for interviews, you need to understand how the market actually works at the leadership level.

In This Video, You'll Learn:

• The reality of today's executive job market and why it's changed
• How to locate hidden opportunities that never hit job boards
• Common pitfalls that derail candidates hoping to transition into executive leadership
• Why your job search should operate like an enterprise deal cycle
• The mindset shifts required to maintain momentum through setbacks

This is Part of the PACE© Job Search Accelerator:

Plan → Self-reflection, goal setting, and market research (You are here)
Attract → LinkedIn optimization, resume strategy, and networking
Close → Storytelling, interview mastery, and behavioral psychology
Elevate → Negotiation, leadership positioning, and career growth

Key Insight from This Video:

Think of your executive job search as an enterprise deal cycle. You'll need to challenge market assumptions, build strategic influence, identify decision-makers, develop internal advocates, and maintain momentum through complex evaluation processes.

The most successful executives don't just participate in interviews—they lead them. Don't wait for interviewers to connect the dots. Take the lead in painting the picture of your potential impact.
