Questions & Answers

The questions people ask before they start.

If your question isn't here, the fastest way to a real answer is the 2-minute diagnostic, or just reach out.

What exactly is The Work Life Upgrade?

It's recruiter-led career transition advisory for experienced professionals. Instead of generic coaching, you get specific, tactical guidance from someone who spent nearly two decades on the hiring side of the table and treats your search like the business problem it is.

Is this coaching?

Not in the usual sense. I don't do mindset work or help you "find your purpose." I give you actionable, proven, recruiter-informed direction on your actual search, resume, LinkedIn, interviews, networking, and negotiation, so you can move faster.

Who is this for?

Experienced professionals in transition: recently laid off, leaving the military, long-tenured at one company, pivoting industries, quietly job-hunting while employed, or returning after a career break. The 2-minute diagnostic points you to the path that fits.

How much does it cost?

The Advisory Room is $500/month over 10 months, or $4,500 paid in full, and includes 36-month access. A Premium Upgrade adds direct 1-on-1 work for +$2,500 (combined $7,500). Standalone à-la-carte services run $250 to $1,500. Everything is listed openly on the Programs page, no "contact us for pricing."

What's included in The Advisory Room?

Three live office hours a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday), the full A-to-Z on-demand job-search training, a peer community of professionals at your level, monthly market insights from the recruiter's side of the table, and the option to apply for the Premium Upgrade.

Do you offer one-off services?

Yes. If you just need one thing fixed, the à-la-carte menu includes a Resume Audit ($250), a live Resume Rebuild ($650), a live Mock Interview with feedback ($650), Networking Training ($300), and the A-to-Z Job Search Program ($1,500).

How does the assessment work?

It's a free, 2-minute Career Transition Diagnostic. You answer a handful of questions and get a specific read on where your search stands, what it means, and the single best next step, whether that's a program, a standalone service, or a free resource. No sales-call trap.

Do you work with people outside your area?

Yes. This is a national practice with clients from coast to coast, and everything runs virtually.

What if I'm still employed?

That's one of the most common situations. A search you run while employed has to be discreet and deliberate, and it's a different operation than a full-time hunt. There's a dedicated path for exactly that.
