FREE & VOLUNTEER-RUNNever Search Alone

A pro-bono project of Collaborative Gain

The room that's always open

Your company's pack may not exist yet. A council already does.

Never Search Alone is a book by Phyl Terry and a free, volunteer-run program built on one finding from 25 years with job seekers: everyone is afraid in a search, and searching alone lets the fear make your decisions. So they don't let you. You're matched into a Job Search Council — four to six peers at your career stage, working one method together until each of you lands.

Inside a council

  1. 01

    Four to six peers, matched to you

    Same career stage and search speed; industries deliberately mixed.

  2. 02

    A peer moderator, not a coach

    Nobody is selling anything, because nobody is paid.

  3. 03

    A method, not a support group

    Candidate-Market Fit, a Listening Tour, a Job Mission — and weekly work the group holds you to.

  4. 04

    Your group writes its own charter

    You decide how long it runs and what you owe each other.

The one ask

They ask you to read the book first — it's the shared vocabulary. Library copy is fine, and every dollar of book sales funds the free program.
