You ARE near a branch of The Five O’Clock Club!
Join a Five O’Clock Club small-group strategy program for the most effective approach to your job search. Our research proves that those who regularly attend the Five O’Clock Club group meetings get more stisfying jobs faster and at higher rates of pay than those who only see a coach privately or who search on their own!
Whether you attend via The Insider Teleconference Program or one of our few physical groups, the results are the same. In addition, Insider members receive a boxed set of 16 recorded Five O’Clock Club presentations on CDs with the purchase of your first ten sessions or more.
Small group strategy sessions are held by telephone conferencing with a senior Five O’Clock Club consultant. You will be assigned to a group of your peers. (You must have a phone, and email.)
All groups use a similar schedule in each time zone:
- Receive your set of 16 audio lectures (on CD) by Kate Wendleton and listen to one lecture per week in your home or car.
- Join the weekly telephone conference with a senior Five O’Clock Club career consultant from the convenience of your home, or anywhere else.
- Enjoy the Five O’Clock Club web site and Members Only section.
Fee: $49 Lifetime membership (includes Beginners Kit, subscription to The Five O’Clock News and access to the members’ only area) plus session fees:
First time purchase must be of 10 or more sessions. The set of recordings ($150 value) is FREE with the purchase of 10 or more sessions. The sessions are less expensive only because they do not have the real estate costs. They deliver the same Five O’Clock Club methodology.
