HOW 500+ SENIOR MEDIA PROFESSIONALS LANDED THIER JOB IN 8-10 WEEKS

(While Others Are Still Applying Online)

This isn't just about finding a new job—it's about the financial cost of being on the outside looking in.

The Financial Drain of a Traditional Job Search:

Each month you spend competing with the masses is a month’s salary you could have earned by being in the right network.
Six months of sending out your CV is not just frustrating—it’s the equivalent of forfeiting half a year's pay increase.
A year of waiting for recruiters to call you back is a year of your peak earning potential you can never recover.

Waiting for the "perfect" advertised role is the most expensive decision a media professional can make. It’s a guarantee that you are leaving money, opportunity, and your next big career move on the table.

"Let's be blunt: 6 months of 'thinking about it' equals a five-figure income loss. That's the real cost of standing still."

For every top media role that gets advertised, 100 others are filled before anyone ever sees a job description.

While most professionals are fighting for the 10%, a select few know how to access the other 90%.

I contacted Cheryl to get some support to find work. During our session I received a lot of useful advice on how to position myself in various industries and perform effective job searches. Cheryl's unique perspective as a recruiter in the Media industry was invaluable and her strategic outlook made me think about things in a business sense. I would highly recommend Cheryl's one-to-one coaching services.

I booked Cheryl for a career development coaching call and it was wonderful. It was a very productive chat full of insights on how to boost my visibility in LinkedIn and how to make myself more "appealing" on the eyes of the recruiters. Also, she taught me to use different tools that were a completely revelation on how to make changes in my cv and how to search and write to companies I am interested in. Thank you Cheryl!

Fantastic experience working with Cheryl to develop my presence as a creative professional. My confidence in navigating the creative job market has greatly improved, and her tips and tricks are brilliant for anyone seeking that extra step in job hunting!

- Marcus Ayrton

After a very long and stressful time in the market this year. Following my (many) disappointing processes, interview experiences, putting my trust in inexperienced and sometimes unreliable recruiters / headhunters. Cheryl has been a breath of fresh air and proactive, supportive during my time working with her. Her approach to prep and insight is 2nd to none. I’d highly recommend her for your own search. Or if looking to collaborate to fill a position. 👌

- Rich Staplehurst

Cheryl is an amazing sparky, intuitive firecracker! She is brilliant in her role of working with clients and finding the perfect fit. If she were a tailor every star in Hollywood would wear her to the Oscars! Her skills of working on a 1:1 basis to really get to know each persons wants, needs and character is amazing. A trusted Senior Recruiter and safe pair of hands who finds the right person for the right job and the right job for the right person. I'd work with Cheryl in a heartbeat as her journalistic skills come into play when sniffing out the talent to fit the job. Thanks Cheryl and I hope to work with you within my new role!

The Media Industry Has Two Entrances. Which One Are You Using?

Path 1: The General Admission Line (Where 99% of People Wait)

You wait for the public announcement (the job ad) to go live.
You join a digital queue of 1,000+ other applicants for the exact same role.
Your CV gets 6 seconds with a junior gatekeeper who doesn’t grasp your true value.
You watch your professional momentum stall while waiting for a response that never comes.
You remain on the outside, watching from the sidelines as others lead the industry-defining projects.

Path 2: The Private Invitation (The MCP Advantage)

You get invited into the conversation before the role is even scoped out.
You have direct discussions with the Heads of Department and the key decision-makers.
You position yourself as the solution, co-creating a role that leverages your unique expertise.
You secure your next career-defining move in weeks, not months.
You become the sought-after talent that companies build roles around.

Why Take Action Now?

Remember:

- Every week of delay = thousands in lost potential earnings

- Every month of hesitation = tens of thousands vanished

- You've tried the traditional way. It isn't working. You MUST do something NOW.

The call is free. The insights are invaluable.

The only risk is waiting.
