What you'll walk away with

  • A live diagnosis of what's keeping you stuck in your job search

  • The resume template that's landed clients offers in pharma, tech and consultancy

Your Ph.D. proves you can think. It doesn't prove you can get hired.

The job market doesn't reward merit the way academia does. It rewards positioning, and most Ph.D.s were never taught how to do that.

  • Applying to 100+ roles with zero callbacks

  • A resume built for a journal reviewer, not a hiring manager

  • No clear way to translate research into industry value

  • Watching less-qualified candidates get the offer

Smart enough

To adapt to what the market actually needs, not what your dissertation committee needed.

Dumb enough

To rewrite the rules everyone else quietly follows. Positioning over pedigree.

★★★★★

Read before you book

What am I signing up for?

A free 20-minute call where you get a live diagnosis of what's stopping your job search, not a sales pitch in disguise.

Who is this for?

Ph.D.s and STEM professionals who are applying but not landing interviews, or who aren't sure how to translate their research into industry value.

Will I get anything useful even if we never work together after this?

Yes. You'll leave with a specific diagnosis and next step regardless of what you decide afterward.

Does this work outside STEM or outside my country?

The community spans 7+ countries and includes adjacent research backgrounds, so it's worth a conversation even if you're not a strict fit.

What happens after I book my slot?

You'll get a confirmation with a scheduling link and a short pre-call form so the 20 minutes are used well.

Why do the August calls close on a fixed date?

I run these calls personally, so each month has a real capacity limit. August applications close August 21. The next opening is September.

Don't change jobs. Change identity.

August calls close August 21. After that, the next opening is September.
