Section 1
What we agree to do together
Jeremy Brook (JB) will provide a structured career coaching engagement of up to 7 sessions over a maximum period of 6 months from the date of signing.
Sessions are conducted via video call and scheduled by mutual agreement. Reasonable flexibility is expected on both sides.
A shared working document is maintained throughout the engagement — capturing your narrative, targets, and materials — and is provided to you at the end. It's yours to keep.
The engagement covers: where you are now, crafting your transition narrative, targeting the right roles and companies, getting market-ready (resume, LinkedIn, outreach), interview coaching, and offer negotiation.
Section 2
What counts as a successful placement
A successful placement is defined as you accepting a written offer of employment in a role that represents a deliberate transition — to a new industry, a new company, or both.
Roles accepted with the same employer in the same industry do not qualify as a placement for the purposes of this agreement, unless both parties have agreed otherwise in writing beforehand.
If there is any ambiguity about whether a role qualifies, both parties agree to discuss it in good faith before payment is due.
Section 3
Payment
The fee is 12.5% of your first full month's gross salary in the new role. This rate is confirmed and locked in at the time of signing.
Payment is due within 14 days of your first working day in the new role. You agree to notify JB of your accepted offer and start date promptly.
No payment is owed if no qualifying placement is made within the 6-month engagement window. No job, no fee.
Payment is made via bank transfer to details provided by JB at the time an offer is accepted.
Section 4
Ending the engagement
Either party may end the engagement at any time with 7 days written notice (email is fine).
If you end the engagement and subsequently accept a qualifying role within 3 months of the end date, the fee remains payable. The engagement doesn't end the relationship if it produced the result.
If JB ends the engagement, no fee is owed regardless of outcome.
Section 5
Everything else
This agreement is governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia.
Both parties agree to keep the terms of this engagement confidential — neither will share the specifics with third parties without the other's consent.
Nothing in these terms constitutes a guarantee of employment. The coaching engagement is a structured support — the outcome depends on your effort, the market, and factors outside either party's control.
These terms form the basis of the agreement. The signed document between both parties takes precedence in the event of any ambiguity.
These terms exist to keep things clear and fair for both of us. They're not designed to catch anyone out — they're designed so we can focus on the work instead of the paperwork. If anything isn't clear before you sign, just ask.
