Weeks 1–2 · What happened
Getting the facts straight, privately, before deciding what to share.
The programs, in detail
Four programs of 6 to 12 weeks, from explaining the break to surviving the first ninety days back.
Program 01 · Answer it in one breath
Owning the gap
Most people either apologize for the break or over-explain it. Both invite follow-up questions. We write two sentences you can say without flinching, practice them until they sound ordinary, and move the conversation to what you can do now.
Weeks 3–4 · The two sentences
A short answer that's true and finished.
Weeks 5–6 · Under pressure
Saying it in mock screening calls until it's boring.
Weeks 1–2 · The inventory
Everything you've done, including unpaid work, laid out.
Weeks 3–4 · Translation
Old duties rewritten as outcomes in current language.
Weeks 5–6 · The documents
A résumé and a LinkedIn profile that agree with each other.
Weeks 7–8 · Targeting
Tailoring quickly for each application without starting over.
Program 02 · Make the last role count
Résumé & LinkedIn
Job titles and tools change fast. We rewrite your experience in the vocabulary of the roles you're targeting today, surface the skills you used during the break that genuinely count, and rebuild your profile so a recruiter sees a current candidate.
Program 03 · Without cold-emailing strangers
Rebuilding a network
Most roles after a break come through someone who already knows you. We build a list of people you've lost touch with, write messages that aren't awkward, and practice informational conversations — the ones where you ask about the work rather than asking for a job.
Weeks 1–2 · The list
Forty people you already know, ranked by how easy they'd be to contact.
Weeks 3–4 · The message
Short notes that don't apologize for the silence.
Weeks 5–6 · The conversations
Asking about the work and listening for openings.
Weeks 7–8 · Follow-up
Staying in touch without becoming a nuisance.
Weeks 1–3 · Mock interviews
Recorded, reviewed, repeated until the nerves settle.
Weeks 4–5 · Your examples
Six stories that cover most behavioral questions.
Weeks 6–7 · Money
A range you can say out loud, and what to do with the first number.
Weeks 8 · The first 90 days
Pacing, boundaries and childcare or care logistics that hold.
Program 04 · From offer to settled
Interviews & first 90 days
Interviewing is a skill that rusts. We run mock interviews and review the recordings, work out a salary range grounded in current market data rather than your last pay, and plan the first ninety days so the return doesn't overwhelm you in week two.
