The best candidate doesn't always get hired
The best-positioned one does. I spent fourteen years on the hiring side at Amazon and Boeing, reading the resumes and sitting in the debriefs. I watched strong people lose out to weaker candidates who simply told a cleaner story.
That's a positioning problem, not an experience problem. Better Work is the system I built to fix it.
Our proven method has:
- Average compensation increase of $30,000 to $35,000
- Negotiation adds another 10% to 15% on top
- 3X'd LinkedIn visibility in just 30 days
- Generated 3X more interviews in 2 months
- Grown professional networks by 30% over the course of the program
"Most professionals don't struggle to get hired because they lack skills. They struggle because they don't know how to market themselves."

Since 2020 I've worked with more than 400 professionals on career-defining moves into top-tier roles. Not job boards and mass applications. Positioning, targeting, and a process.

Why I do this
In 2020 I made my own pivot into a FAANG role. It took a different search strategy, different positioning, better interview prep and harder negotiation than anything I'd done before. I'd also just become a father, and what I wanted out of a career had changed.
That search is where Better Work came from. I'd spent years on the hiring side and I still had to learn how to run one properly.
I read thousands of resumes in those years, sat in the debriefs, and made the calls. I know what moves someone to the next round and what gets them passed over before anyone reads page two.
Most people I work with are somewhere in that same spot. Strong track record, search going nowhere, no clear read on why.

- You're applying and not getting interviews
- You're interviewing and not getting offers
- You're switching industries and can't explain the move cleanly
- There's an offer on the table and you don't know what to ask for
