Your resume is killing you. I'll show you why.
My unique "three buckets" strategy will help you find a job you LOVE... so your work doesn't feel like work, and life feels a whole lot happier. Learn how in my exclusive online course, Find Your Dream Job.
Are you tired of getting up every day to do work you're not excited about?
Do you feel stuck, with no room to grow?
* * * * * * * *
How did you find yourself here, on this career path, unsure of what comes next? Is this even the INDUSTRY you want to be in? The type of TASKS you enjoy?
When you imagined a successful, fulfilling career, did you picture THIS?
* * * * * * * *
Maybe you've got skills and ideas but they're not being allowed to shine.
Or you've found yourself in a toxic environment, handcuffed and desperate to escape.
* * * * * * * *
You want a role where you're free to be YOU. Where your passions and responsibilities meet, and your voice is not only HEARD but actually ENCOURAGED and SOUGHT AFTER.
* * * * * * * *
In your dream career, you can make a real impact on the work you do, the people you do it with, and most importantly, the people you do it FOR.
Let's find THAT kind of role. And land it.
Meet your career coach
Hi, I'm Chad Kopitzke.
As the owner of an innovative recruiting firm called NeXtGen Advantage, I make it a priority to put the HUMAN element back into human resources. My mission is to match career seekers with the kind of work that lights them up. I've been working in talent management for 15 years, helping hundreds of people discover their passions and strengths. I also work closely with companies of all sizes and industries, finding the best-fit candidate for their key roles. I hear what employers are looking for, and I hear what candidates need in order to feel valued and fulfilled. The magic happens when those two things align.
Here's why I'm different. I hate resumes. I call them "work obituaries." What you've done in the past is not necessarily the best indicator of what you should do next, nor is it always an accurate picture of what you WANT to do with your career.
In this course, I'll help you think beyond the checkboxes many employers would stuff you in. You'll learn to decipher the difference between your experience, your skills, and your passions. {Yes, those are three different things!}
Then we'll develop a road map to help you identify exactly what kind of role you truly want next... and how to get there.
* * * * * * * *
I understand the hurdles you face.
I see it every day. You submit a resume into a black hole and never hear anything back. Or you get a rejection letter within seconds, which means you KNOW not a single human being bothered to look at your application. How do you explain your passion, your character, your career story to a BOT?
You're told you don't have enough experience for a particular role, but how can you get experience without getting an opportunity in the first place?
Maybe you were promised the moon in your interview, but once you showed up for the job, they handed you a moon rock instead. How can you guarantee the same thing won't happen again?
And I've lost count of how many people I've met who sit across the table from me and say, "I'm the perfect candidate. Why can't I even get an interview?"
That is a great question. I believe it's because the current recruiting process is broken. And we need to get creative in order to work within a broken system in a way that gets you noticed for all the right reasons.
This course will show you how.

And how it is making it harder for you to land the kind of role you want and deserve? Chad will explain the issues behind the curtain and how "the way we've always done it" isn't working anymore... and how you can work AROUND the system instead.
How to identify your starting point.
In order to move to the next step in your career, you need directions. And in order to follow directions, you need a starting point. You'd be amazed at how many career seekers don't know where they stand in the first place. This module gets you up close and personal with who you are and where you want to go.
Now we're getting to the good stuff.
What are you really GOOD at? And what do you LOVE to do? Are those the same thing? And what happens if they're not? In this module we'll apply Chad's innovative and proprietary "bullseye" formula for identifying what kind of role you're truly built to play... and how to use that information to narrow down your search.
It's time to stand out from the crowd.
In today's market, everybody looks essentially the same on paper. How can you rise above the stack and make the kind of impression that gets the job? In this module we'll explore four tools you can use to tell your story beyond the resume.
This is your chance to shine. Do you know what it takes?
Here's your interview pep talk, complete with insight on what the interviewer is looking for (take it from somebody who's conducted hundreds of these things) and how you can use the interview process to get what YOU need out of the deal, too.
Networking. It's not what you think it is.
When you're on the market, people tell you to network. But what does that mean, really? And how can you connect with people in meaningful ways instead of wasting your time? This final module will explore what networking is and isn't, and how to make it work for you.

Real people, real careers
"Chad, I wanted to sincerely say thank you for all of your advice, guidance, and insight, which helped me look deep into my strengths and personality to eventually pursue a career in supply chain/logistics. I'm not entirely sure I would have been as strategic in my job search without your guidance, and for that I am truly grateful." — Spencer B.
"I have had some time to think about my move to Oregon and my first time working from home. I don't think I would have stayed at my job (and worked from home for about 2 years) without your encouragement. I wanted to give you a huge and heartfelt thank you because without you I think I would be in a very different place in my life." — Amanda B.
