Who This Is For

  • You are applying and not getting interviews, or you are getting interviews and no offers.
  • You have updated your resume three times and you still are not hearing back.
  • You know you need a better job, but you are not sure which roles to go after.
  • You have tried to run your job search on your own, and you keep ending up in the same place.
  • You want someone to work through this with you, and a playbook you can keep.

This is a fit if you are employed, recently laid off or in between roles. If you need a job in the next 30 days, our Get a Good Job programs fit better.

What You Get

Four private 1:1 working sessions with Dylan plus a 30-minute debrief, weekly group sessions, and our entire 12-step modern job search strategy with AI.

1. Targeting Session

1:1 with Dylan, up to 2 hours

We use your experience, your preferences, your goals, and what is happening in the market to find the roles and paths that fit who you are, beyond what you have done. You leave with 2 to 3 clear, realistic directions.

2. Branding & Positioning Session

1:1 with Dylan, up to 2 hours

We build your brand and your story. Your resume and LinkedIn stop describing your past and start advocating for your next move, and you get a clear way to say who you are and what you do in one sentence. You get specific rewrite guidance on your actual documents, in your actual words, repositioned to land where you want to go.

3. Networking & Advertising Session

1:1 with Dylan, up to 2 hours

The best roles often go to people who are already known. We build your plan to get in front of the right people: who to contact, what to say and where to show up, plus the outreach messages and follow-up routine that keep conversations moving.

4. Interview & Offer Management Session

1:1 with Dylan, up to 2 hours

We practice the real conversations, the “tell me about yourself,” the “why are you leaving,” the “what do you want,” until your answers sound like you. Then we plan how you handle offers: how to compare them, how to negotiate, and how to say yes or no with confidence.

5. Debrief Session

1:1 with Dylan, 30 minutes (longer if it helps)

After your four working sessions we review what changed, what is working and what to do next, so you leave with a plan you can run.

Weekly Group Sessions

Every Wednesday at 6pm CT, recorded for replay

Join Dylan and a group of professionals doing this work alongside you. Working sessions where real questions get real answers.

How It Works

  1. Enroll and tell me where you are in your job search.
  2. Book your first session, the Targeting Session.
  3. Move through your Branding & Positioning, Networking & Advertising, and Interview & Offer Management sessions on your own schedule. At the end of each session, we schedule the next one.
  4. Finish with your debrief session, and join the weekly group session any Wednesday at 6pm CT.

The Guarantee

I guarantee you will leave your sessions with a clear target, a story that sounds like you, a plan to get in front of the right people and the confidence-inspiring interview and offer skills you trust, or I will work with you until you do.

If after your first Targeting Session you do not feel clearer about the roles to go after, tell me and we will redesign your approach together. No forms, no runaround.
