The 2-Hour Job Search for Working Professionals with Steve Dalton
Steve Dalton explains how mid-career professionals can use the 2HJS method
Looking for a new job is never easy. Paradoxically, as we become more skilled and more senior, it can become harder: fewer target roles, more competition and still the frustration of online applications that demand time and effort but give nothing in return.
The solution – pioneered by Steve Dalton in his bestselling book The 2-Hour Job Search - is to sidestep the black hole of internet job postings and network your way to referrals, interviews and jobs.
In this webinar we explore precisely how working professionals can adapt Steve’s method to target mid- to senior-level jobs with the same efficient networking strategy.
We will discuss:
- The biggest mistake mid-career job seekers make (and how to avoid it)
- The exact type of outreach email that works best for working professionals
- Why you should (mostly) ignore your existing network and reach out to strangers
- How to supercharge your job search with AI and LinkedIn (and when NOT to use them)
- How long you should expect to job-search
- How to run your job search on autopilot and maximise your chances of referrals, interviews and job offers

Steve Dalton was inspired by his students' difficult job searches during the 2008 financial crisis, so the then-Duke MBA career coach set out to create the first set of job search instructions to replace the ubiquitous networking “tips” which only worked for a select few.
Steve has since delivered hundreds of workshops on his advocacy-building methods for both universities and employers following the success of his first book, The 2-Hour Job Search, which was published by Penguin Random House’s Ten Speed Press in 2012.
His books – including his 2021 follow-up The Job Closer – are both Amazon #1 best-sellers and have now sold more than 100,000 copies worldwide. Their “recipes” are currently taught at over 100 universities worldwide, and Dalton himself is a frequent guest speaker at top universities and Fortune 500 companies.
Prior to career services, Dalton was a chemical engineer, strategy consultant, and marketer. Dalton holds an MBA from Duke and a chemical engineering degree from Case Western University. He currently resides in Durham, North Carolina.
