The job search system isn’t broken. It’s rigged.


Let’s talk about the loop that’s draining your energy:

Apply → Wait → Ghosted → Repeat. (a lot)

It feels like you’re doing all the right things…
but nothing’s moving.

This is one of the conversations I have with people most often, and they always want to know why. Why isn't it working? they ask. Here's what's happening:
1) Most job boards are designed to manage volume, not connect people.
2) Hiring managers are overwhelmed - your résumé probably never even got seen. (sorry)
3) Internal referrals and backchannels win 80%* of the time.

So when you feel invisible... well, you’re not wrong.

This is exactly why I built my VIP coaching program to bypass the black hole:
✅ We contact hiring managers directly for you - every day. Consistently.
✅ We target the right recruiters and industry leaders who can open real doors. Every day. Consistently.
✅ We run those campaigns for you, so you can focus on showing up when it counts.

Because sending another 15 applications into the void isn't helping. It’s just making you tired.

If you’re ready for real traction, let’s talk:
