Since 2008, I've served >2,000 private sector, military, and federal clients. I provide complete advisory and tactical career architecture services that lead to interviews and offers.

I invented CareerGPS, a true application-to-offer system, in 2023. Since then, more than 150 people have started interviewing shortly after receipt of their new resume and landed job offers averaging $25K more pay... even with lateral moves.

CareerGPS is proof that you shouldn't have to apply to hundreds of jobs or be unemployed long-term.

  • CareerGPS is available to you as a course or one-on-one engagement. Every option includes a solution for your resume, cover letter, LinkedIn, job search, and interview skills.

  • CareerGPS uses agentic AI (the Interview Passport) to help you verify postings are real, tailor your new resume, apply on the company's website instead of through job boards, and uncover decision makers' names (i.e., your next boss). There's currently nothing else like it.

  • CareerGPS also solves the root cause of long-term unemployment; namely, showing how you align with the hard and soft skills that are baked into the job posting instead of focusing on what you believe your qualifications are. There is a difference, and it can't be unseen once you notice it.
