The JD Mastery 10-Week Opportunity Creation Accelerator — a high-intensity execution cohort for international graduates in the UK who are done waiting for roles to appear.
JD Mastery vs. Traditional Job Search
Real opportunities in the UK are never born the moment a role is posted — they live in team pain points, internal conversations, and unposted needs. By the time you see the listing, you're already at the back of the queue. You've been using an outdated system, consuming your effort.
Traditional Job Search Agency
Teaches you "how to be selected"
Optimise CV, memorise interview answers, mock interviews, endlessly refresh portals. All actions presuppose you first get into the interview stage.
You stay outside the door
You never access real business conversations, never reach decision-makers, always queue outside the recruitment process.
Process-focused effort
Looks productive, goes nowhere. You're spinning in a broken system.
JD Mastery Method™
Teaches you "how to be needed"
Rebuilds your career operating system from the ground up — from student mindset to business professional.
You operate like a consultant
Define problems, research deeply, judge latent needs, enter business conversations before roles are posted.
Systematic opportunity creation
Build a personal system that continuously attracts opportunities — not a one-time application lottery.
Meet the Founder
Johanna has spent years guiding thousands of international students and professionals to build meaningful careers in consulting, tech, and finance across the UK and Europe. She knows the confusion and struggle of job searching in a foreign country firsthand — the anxiety of sending applications with no reply, the exhaustion of being trapped in a templated job search, the helplessness of finding no core opportunities.
She founded JD Mastery not to create another generic "job coaching service," but to distill her years of consulting experience and job search hard-won insight into one replicable Career Opportunity Creation System — delivering a verified path out of the maze to everyone who wants to take ownership of their career.
We are not a traditional job agency. We are a systematic career business school. We deliver a complete opportunity creation system — not a one-off service. We rebuild your career operating system, not patch surface-level gaps.
Student Results
All results based on the JD MASTERY METHOD™. Cases continue to be updated.
Johnson & Johnson
Guo · Finance MSc
Previously rejected by Big 4 repeatedly, nearly gave up. Dropped mass applications, used precision positioning and Target Person Reach-out. Got a rare J&J graduate offer — then negotiated a salary increase before day one.
BCG — Offer Call
A · Humanities Background
Worried her background was "not logical enough" for MBB. Shifted from answer-giver to problem-framer. First round, Senior Director said "cannot wait to see you." BCG offer call secured.
Top Consumer Goods — Senior Role
Q · Internship Background Only
Secured Manager-level interview via networking alone. Director was so persuaded by her Consulting Mindset that he proactively referred her to another division. Senior offer with zero full-time experience.
Boutique Consulting Firm
Qi · Social Sciences, 0 UK Experience
Hit wall after wall job searching. Joined, built opportunity pipeline, executed weekly for 3 months. Junior Consultant social-hire offer in autumn — a perfect match to her interests and direction.
TikTok London
D · Pre-Posting Strategy
Thought she had to wait for spring hiring. Used pre-posting signal strategy to enter before bulk recruitment. TikTok London HR reached out directly — locked the pipeline 2 weeks ahead of competitors.
Accenture UK — Consulting Team
Jie · Network Over Portals
Bypassed all mass applications. Identified a small, newly formed Accenture UK team. Used information asymmetry + strong signal strategy. Interview invite arrived next day — 10× faster than portals.
The Four Stages
A founder-driven, consulting-structured transformation system built across four execution stages.
Reacting to job listings
→Founder-level clarity. You own your career decisions.
Qualified but overlooked
→Your value is clear in seconds. Recruiters come to you.
Waiting for postings
→Opportunities come through conversations, not portals.
Seeking approval in interviews
→You lead as a decision-maker, not a candidate.
What's Included
Every element is designed to keep you moving forward — not just learning.
One focused live session per week. Real-time group work with Johanna — not lectures. You show up, you execute, you move forward.
Your profile, outreach, and pitch reviewed live in front of the cohort. Real work, real critique — everyone learns faster when real output gets examined.
Every JD Mastery Method™ module available on-demand. Revisit any framework between sessions at the pace you need.
Dedicated Q&A time each week. No question left unanswered — you always know exactly what to do before the next session.
Ongoing support between sessions. Share drafts, ask focused questions, and receive feedback as you execute — not just during live time.
Each week has a clear deliverable — profile, outreach message, pitch, conversation. You ship work, not notes.

Shift from passive job seeker to proactive career owner. Build your personal decision framework and commit to a clear 90-day execution plan with founder-level clarity.
Phase 2 · Weeks 3–5
High-Signal Positioning
Rebuild your LinkedIn and CV to communicate your value in seconds. Create a positioning narrative and pitch deck ready for senior-level business conversations. Release market signals that bring decision-makers to you.
Phase 3 · Weeks 6–8

Who This Is For
We don't do mass enrollment. This cohort is designed for a small group who are ready to build and move — not just consume information.
UK/Europe-based international graduate or professional who understands how the UK job market broadly works
Tired of the "mass apply → wait → hope" passive mode; willing to think in terms of signals, visibility, and business conversations
Already tried the traditional approach, recognise their current approach isn't producing consistent traction, and committed to a fundamentally different system
Prepared to prioritise consistent weekly execution over the next 10 weeks
Treating the next 3–6 months as a focused career-building window
Who This Is Not Designed For
This accelerator requires consistent weekly execution and ownership. If you're currently exploring casually, prefer passive learning, or aren't ready to prioritise structured action over the next 10 weeks, this likely isn't the right fit — and that's completely fine.
You're looking for a done-for-you service
You haven't committed to building your career in the UK
You prefer passive learning over weekly output
You're not ready to prioritise focused action over the next 10 weeks
You're seeking shortcuts rather than building long-term strategic capability
Application Process
Complete the short application form. Tell us about your situation, what you've tried, and why you're ready to execute now.
Johanna reviews every application personally. We only accept candidates who are committed to executing weekly — not just curious.
