Stop being overlooked for roles you are ready for. Learn how to present your experience in a way that gets you shortlisted, strengthens your interviews, and positions you for what comes next.
Built from the other side of the hiring table, The Shortlist shows you what decision-makers actually notice, question and look for.
Unit 1: Get Seen
Learn how to build a CV that gets read past page one. You'll shape it around evidence, not a list of duties, and finish with a CV and a checklist to test it.
Unit 2: Get Chosen
Learn how to answer interview questions clearly and with confidence. You'll build strong answers with the SDAR method, practise with a question bank for your track, and prepare a closing that leaves a lasting impression.
Unit 3: Get Positioned
Everyone in a school leads. You lead a classroom, a team or a whole school. Learn how to show the panel how you lead, at your level, before you even apply. You'll map your readiness, track your leadership evidence, audit your professional footprint, and finish with your own 90-day plan.
Two tracks, both included
You get the Teacher track and the Leader track. Follow the one that fits your next step. Teachers also see what the level above is assessed on.
