EP 11 - QS Career Catalyst™: How Experienced Quantity Surveyors Can Become the Obvious Choice—Fast

Tired of sending out dozens of applications and hearing nothing back? In this power-packed episode, Ed Bishop—35-year QS veteran, Fortune 500 director, and creator of the QS Career Catalyst™—breaks down the exact framework that’s turning overlooked Quantity Surveyors into first-round interview magnets.

You’ll hear why your experience isn’t the real problem (hint: it’s positioning), and the three-step 3D Positioning Framework™ that reframes your value so hiring managers can’t ignore you:

1. DEFINE – Uncover hidden leverage points with the Value-vs-Visibility Grid.

2. DISTILL – Transform those wins into a killer CV, LinkedIn profile, and cover letter using the 3L Layout and Position-Problem-Proof storytelling.

3. DELIVER – Master the STAR+I™ interview method and the five signature stories that seal the deal.

What you’ll learn in under 30 minutes
• Why “years in the game” no longer guarantees callbacks
• The simple audit that pinpoints gaps in your career marketing
• How to craft a one-line Career Value Statement that lands instant credibility
• Ed’s 21-day action plan to go from invisible to in-demand—with real client results
