Solutions — The 10-Step Program
The 10-step journey, end-to-end. Steps 1–3 are free; Steps 4–10 require a paid subscription ($450 lifetime or $100/month × 5).
Step 1 — Know YourselfFree
18-question self-assessment of values, personality dimensions, and motivators. Calibrated to surface the underlying drivers (autonomy vs. structure, competition vs. cooperation, novelty vs. mastery) that make a job feel right or wrong. Output is a structured profile that anchors every downstream step.
Step 2 — Map Your SkillsFree
Five-branch skills inventory: Technical (programming languages, tools, certifications, software fluency); Interpersonal (communication, collaboration, leadership, conflict resolution); Transferable (analysis, writing, project management, teaching); Domain (subject-matter knowledge from coursework, internships, projects); Leadership (initiative, delegation, accountability, vision). Output is a résumé-ready summary that becomes the input to Step 5.
Step 3 — Set Your DirectionFree
Exploration of 23 career groups + salary preferences → specific target job titles. Not a personality test; a structured mapping from your Step 1 + Step 2 profile to roles where the match is plausible and the market is hiring.
Step 4 — Clean Up OnlinePaid
Digital-presence audit: what hiring managers find when they Google you. Google search results, LinkedIn presence vs. recruiter expectations, abandoned profiles (old MySpace, old blog), reputation signals. Output is a prioritized cleanup list with how-to instructions for each action.
Step 5 — Build Your ArsenalPaid
Five-phase resume builder: 1) Upload/new — bring an existing resume (PDF, DOCX) or start fresh; 2) Framework questions — guided structure capture; 3) AI review cycles — multiple passes critiquing every bullet, flagging weak verbs, missing impact metrics, ATS-hostile patterns; 4) Industry versions — variants optimized for tech / finance / consulting / etc., plus AI-tailored cover letters per target; 5) Dual formats — final output is two files: a human-readable PDF + ATS-optimized version with HR-XML, HROpen, LinkedIn-XML, Europass structured exports.
Step 6 — Find Your TargetsPaid
Intelligence-driven matching against ~79K daily-refreshed listings from 11 public job boards (Greenhouse, Ashby, Workday CXS, Lever, Simplify, RemoteOK, Arbeitnow, WeWorkRemotely, USAJobs, The Muse, HN Who-is-hiring) plus the hidden market: WARN Act layoff filings (CA, OR, NJ, TX), DOL H-1B LCA filings, news signals on hiring/funding. 60–80% of jobs in most industries are filled before they’re posted; Step 6 surfaces both layers.
Step 7 — Make First ContactPaid
Customized outreach scripts for cold email and LinkedIn, generated per target company using your Step 1–3 profile + the company’s public signals. Templates respect the conventions of your field — tech outreach reads differently from finance outreach reads differently from non-profit outreach.
Step 8 — Ace the InterviewPaid
Mock-interview simulator scored on the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). Customized to your target field and target seniority. Lets you practice failure cheaply, in private, before high-stakes real interviews. Output is per-question feedback plus a running STAR score.
Step 9 — Manage Your PipelinePaid
Kanban board for 20–40 active opportunities: Researching → Applied → Phone Screen → Onsite → Offer → Decided. Each opportunity carries contact log, follow-up reminders, per-stage time elapsed, and conversion metrics. The funnel-level metrics are the differentiator: "you applied to 12 roles, 4 phone screens, 1 onsite, 0 offers — here's where the funnel is leaking and what to fix this week."
Step 10 — Close the DealPaid
Negotiation scripts tailored to the offer amount and target outcome. Employment-agreement review (red-flag clauses around non-competes, IP assignment, equity vesting). Offer comparison when you have multiple. Acceptance-letter templates. Pre-paid: graduates who use Step 10 typically recover the $450 platform cost from a single negotiation cycle.
