Your Career Payoff is Coming


Hey Reader,

I hope your January is off to a great start.

As you focus on your career growth, make sure these three things are top of mind:

  • Update your LinkedIn profile.
  • Refine your resume.
  • Practice your interviewing skills.

I want to share some truly encouraging news about the power of investing in yourself. Remember, an investment that doesn't immediately show results is not a failed investment it simply means the payoff is still ahead.

Here are a few quick wins from clients to motivate you:

  • From Warehouse to IT: One client successfully landed their first IT role, transitioning directly from a warehouse position. This proves that a better life is achievable for anyone willing to put in the effort.
  • Doubling the Salary: Another client secured a SOC Analyst role with OPM last year, nearly doubling their salary from approximately $75k to an impressive $120k.

To truly drive home the "invest in yourself" message, I recently heard from a past client who is now celebrating a major win two years in the making. The work we did together finally paid off! He landed an IT Operations gig paying $130k a fantastic $40k salary increase for him.

This message is not about pushing my services; it's a sincere reminder that every dollar and hour you spend on upskilling your career will pay off eventually. Trust me on this
