2-Week Program

Expert-led sessions on every aspect of your job search

Each session is led by a practitioner from a top company or college — not a generic career coach. You get the real playbook from people who've hired, been hired, and navigated exactly what you're going through.

Week 1 Strategy & Position
Career Clarity — ISB / IIM Alumni
How to pick the right roles, build a focused target list, and stop wasting time on applications that go nowhere
Resume Workshop — Recruiter · 10+ yrs exp
What hiring managers actually read, what gets you binned in 10 seconds, and how to fix it — live on your document
LinkedIn Masterclass — Google / Microsoft Professional
How recruiters find candidates, what your profile signals right now, and the specific changes that get you inbound calls
Your Career Narrative — IIT / IIM Alumni
How to tell your story in 2 minutes for any audience — recruiter, hiring manager, or cold contact
Peer Review Day — Facilitated by ConnectAid
Swap resume and LinkedIn with a partner. Give and get structured feedback using the same criteria as a recruiter
Week 2 Outreach, Interviews & Offers
Referral Strategy — Google / Amazon Professional
The insider playbook for getting warm referrals — including how to approach people you don't know yet
Outreach Workshop — HR Leader · FAANG
LinkedIn messages that get replies. Everyone writes and sends 3 real messages during the session
Interview Masterclass — Hiring Manager · Top MNC
What interviewers are actually evaluating, the STAR method done right, and how to handle the questions most people fumble
Mock Interview Day — Industry Mentors + Peer Pairs
Every participant does a full mock — once with a peer, once with mentor feedback. The most valuable session of the 2 weeks
Offer & Negotiation — IIM / ISB MBA · Senior Leader
How to evaluate what's on the table, when and how to negotiate, and what to say — with scripts that have actually worked

Who Leads the Sessions

Learn from people who've done it at the top

Every session is led by a practitioner — someone who has hired, been in the room, or navigated the exact challenges you're facing. Not coaches. People from the companies and colleges you're trying to get into.

Google
LinkedIn & Referral Strategy
What actually gets a recruiter's attention on LinkedIn, and how to get warm intros from someone's network without being awkward about it.
Microsoft
Resume & Profile Positioning
How to frame your experience for a product, tech, or consulting role at a top MNC — from someone who's reviewed hundreds of resumes from the other side.
IIM Alumni
Career Clarity & Narrative
How to figure out what you actually want — and build a clear, credible story around your background that works in any interview.
ISB Alumni
Offer Evaluation & Negotiation
The variables most candidates miss — variables, ESOPs, growth trajectory — and how to negotiate without feeling like you're going to lose the offer.
IIT Alumni
Interview Masterclass
What interviewers at top companies are actually looking for, and the specific frameworks that make your answers land — versus sounding rehearsed.
Recruiter · 10+ yrs
Outreach & Job Search Strategy
The full job search playbook from someone who's been a recruiter for a decade — where to look, how to reach out, and what makes a candidate unforgettable.

The Community Difference

Why the group format works better than going alone

Job searching solo is a morale problem as much as a skill problem. The group format fixes both — you get the knowledge and you get people who are in it with you.

🤝
Peer Resume Reviews
Structured review sessions where your cohort reads your resume with fresh eyes. You'll catch things a mirror never shows you.
🎤
Partner Mock Interviews
Paired mock interview practice every session. Different partner each time so you get varied perspectives and stay sharp.
📣
Live Job Lead Sharing
30 people actively job searching = 30× more visibility into openings, referrals, and insider intel from their networks.
💬
Daily Accountability
Morning check-in in the WhatsApp group: what did you do yesterday, what are you doing today. Keeps everyone moving.
🧑‍🤝‍🧑
Your Cohort = Your Network
Many cohort members end up in the same industry. That WhatsApp group stays active long after the 2 weeks — referrals keep coming.
🏅
Permanent Community Access
After the program, you join the ConnectAid career community — ongoing access to mentor sessions, job leads, and peer support.

What Participants Say

From people who found their job through the group program

"

What I appreciated most was how specific the feedback was. Not generic tips you'd find on Google — actual line-by-line resume edits, a real critique of my LinkedIn, and a referral strategy I hadn't considered. The peer review sessions were gold.

Arjun P.
IT sector, Chennai · 3 years experience
→ 3 interview calls within 2 weeks
"

I wasn't expecting much from the community aspect — I thought it would feel forced. It didn't. By Day 3, I had two people in my cohort who worked at companies I was targeting. That kind of thing doesn't happen when you're applying alone.

Product Manager, Pune

What Clients Say

From people who worked 1:1

"

I was switching from a government role to the private sector and had no idea how to position myself. My mentor helped me reframe everything. The mock interview was brutal in the best way. Landed a role at a tech firm.

Siddharth V.
Bengaluru · Government → Private sector
→ 35% salary increase
"

Coming from a non-IIT background, I wasn't sure how to crack consulting. My mentor walked me through everything — case prep, resume framing, and networking. It felt like insider access. Final rounds at two top firms.
