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.
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 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.
Quick videos packed with insight from Chad on potential pitfalls in the job market, how to differentiate yourself within it, how to identify your dream role with bullseye-accuracy, and how to go after it successfully. You'll build a filter of non-negotiables through which you can measure every potential career opportunity.
Chad doesn't just talk at you; he gives you the tools you need to apply what you've learned, assess your skills and preferences, and identify your career "sweet spot." Downloads include a thorough Self-Assessment, Chad's proprietary "Find Your Bullseye" formula, and an Interview Prep pack including practice questions.
Time-saving templates and expert examples will help you keep track of your job search activity, build a networking log, and learn to create memorable infographic briefs and resumes. These documents are provided in Excel format and other free online tools for easy access.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"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.
"As a young professional graduating college, Chad gave me a sense of direction with my current job search. He also gave me some tips and tools to help.

"I think what you are doing is amazing! For someone who looks chaotic on paper (and probably in person), being able to meet with a "potential" and having them see your passion is such a cool concept! I look forward to growing our relationship and working together!" — Jamie V.
