Applications are not the search. They are the last five minutes of it.

Four sessions to build the whole pipeline — what you are actually selling, who is buying it, how they hear from you, how you handle the interview, and what to do when an offer finally arrives.

The moment this is for

You have applied to eighty things. You have heard back from four. Three of those were rejections and one was a recruiter who went quiet. Somewhere around application forty you stopped reading the job descriptions properly, and you would not admit that to anyone.

The volume is not the problem. The problem is that a cold application through a portal is the single lowest-yield move available, and it is the only one most students are ever shown. Everything with a real conversion rate — a referral, a well-aimed email, being visible to the person who actually needs someone — takes a form nobody taught you.

Underneath that sits a harder thing: you have not decided what you are selling. Your resume is a list of everything you have ever done, ordered by date, addressed to nobody. A hiring manager reads it for six seconds looking for one specific thing, does not find it, and moves on. That is not a rejection of you. It is a document failing at its job.

This package fixes the pipeline in order, because fixing the resume without fixing the positioning just produces a better-formatted list.

How the sessions work

Four sessions over four to six weeks, with work between them and email in the gaps.

Before session one

You send me the evidence

Current resume, your profile, five postings you would genuinely take, and any outreach you have already sent. Also the rejections, if you have them — the pattern in those is usually the diagnosis.

Session one

Positioning

What you are selling and who is buying it, stated in one sentence that a stranger could repeat. We work out which two or three kinds of role you are genuinely competitive for right now, which is almost never the same list you arrived with.

Session two

The materials, rebuilt

Resume and profile rewritten against the actual postings, not against general advice. Every line either earns its place by moving a specific reader toward a yes, or it comes out.

Between two and three

You run the outreach

You send the first batch, using the approach we built, into the tracking system we set up. Then we look at what came back, which tells us more than any amount of theory.

Session three

Outreach, referrals and the follow-up

Who to write to and what to say. How to ask for a referral from someone who barely knows you without it being awkward. How many times to follow up, at what spacing, and when to stop. Plus the tracking that stops you losing threads.

Session four

Interviews and the offer

Behavioural answers that are specific rather than rehearsed, how to handle the technical rounds for your field, and the questions you should be asking them. Then the offer itself — reading it properly, understanding equity and vesting if there is any, and asking for more without putting it at risk.

Throughout

Email between sessions

For the things with a clock on them — a recruiter reply you do not know how to answer, an interview scheduled for Thursday, an exploding deadline.

3

What you walk away with

Things you can act on, not things you have to remember.

A positioning line

One sentence that says what you do and who needs it, which then drives every other document.

Rebuilt materials

A resume and profile written against real postings, plus the variants for each kind of role you are targeting.

An outreach system

The messages, the follow-up spacing, and the tracker, so the search stops living in your head.

Offer readiness

How to read what you are sent, what is genuinely flexible, and the words for asking — before you need them.

Who this is and isn't for

A good fit if

  • You are looking for an internship or a first full-time role
  • You have applied widely and heard very little back
  • You do not know anyone at the places you want to work
  • You have interviews but they are not converting
  • You expect an offer soon and do not know how to handle it
  • You have four to six weeks to work on this properly

Not a good fit if

  • You want me to apply on your behalf or write your outreach for you to send unread
  • You want me to refer you into my own network instead of building your own
  • You are ten years into a career and want senior-level strategy — this is built for early-career
  • You already have a written offer and only need help with the negotiation — the 90-minute session covers that for $250

The guarantee

If after the first session you do not think the remaining three are worth it, say so and I refund the balance. You keep the positioning work from session one.

What I won't promise is the outcome itself — a place in a lab, an offer, an acceptance, a specific number. Those are decided by people I don't control. Anyone guaranteeing you one is guaranteeing something that isn't theirs to give. What I will promise is that the parts within your control will be done properly, and that you'll know why each one is the way it is.

Before you book

Do you only work with people going into tech?

My depth is deepest in tech and in early-career roles, and that is where I can be most specific about bands, processes and what a given interview is really testing. The pipeline itself — positioning, materials, outreach, interviewing, the offer — is the same shape everywhere. If your field is far enough from mine that I cannot add value, I will tell you before you pay.

Will negotiating cost me the offer?

In ordinary circumstances, no, and part of session four is confirming your circumstances are ordinary. Companies spend weeks of interviewer time getting to an offer. Offers do occasionally get pulled, but that tracks with aggression, dishonesty, or renegotiating after accepting — not with a polite, well-timed ask. If I see genuine risk in your specific case, I will say so.

I have an offer already and a deadline this week.

Do not buy this package. Book the 90-minute session, send me the offer, and we will handle it there. It is a quarter of the price and it is the right tool for that job.

How much work is this between sessions?

A few hours a week, mostly sending things and keeping the tracker current. The sessions are where we decide what to do; the results come from you actually doing it. If you cannot commit that time right now, wait until you can.

Book the package

$1,200 for four sessions over four to six weeks, with email between. Paid at booking, refundable after session one if it is not going to be worth it.

Pay and book — $1,200

Already holding an offer with a deadline? Book the 90-minute session instead — it is the right one for that.
