Outer HarborCareer mentorship with David Bolz

Career transition

Start your move to a career
that fits who you are now.

A program for people leaving a career that no longer fits: your experience seen clearly, a direction that fits, and a search built for today’s market, with David beside you until you’re settled in the new one.

Tell David where he can help

What I solve for you.

Being great at a job you’ve outgrown, and not knowing what your experience is worth anywhere else.

A job market that changed while you were busy, and applications that go nowhere.

Making the biggest decision of your working life with no one who’s done it to talk to.

It’s not too late. The experience is real, the market is different, and the move takes a plan. This program builds it with you, then walks you through the search until you’re settled in the new career.

What you get

Everything the move actually takes, done with you.

  • One session a week
  • A text away between sessions
  • Until you’re settled in the new career
01

Your experience, seen clearly

What the years actually built, and what it’s worth outside the place you built it.

02

A direction that fits

Not a personality quiz. Real options, tested against what you want your days to look like.

03

Your story for a new field

Resume and LinkedIn rebuilt so a hiring manager in the new industry sees the fit fast.

04

Today’s market, not the last one

How hiring actually works now, from someone who ran it: who gets referred in, and how.

05

Interviews for a career changer

Practice for the questions a career changer gets, until the answers sound like you.

06

Someone who’s done it

David left a long career himself. The hard weeks get a text back, not a template.

The questions
people ask about this program.

01

Is it too late to change careers?

No. I left a career of 30+ years to do this. The experience you have is the asset. What changes is how it gets told, and to whom.

02

I can’t tell what my experience is worth outside my field.

Nobody can, from the inside. That’s the first thing we do: go through what you’ve actually done, from the side that hires, and name what it’s worth somewhere new.

03

How long does it take?

Four months, one session a week of about an hour, and I’m a text away between them. When you land, the payments stop, though I recommend staying on through your first months in the new role, since things can go wrong quickly in a field that’s new to you.

04

I was just laid off and don’t know whether to stay in my field or change. Where do we start?

With what you’ve actually done, seen from the side that hires. Then we pick a direction that fits, whether that’s your field or a new one, and build a search for today’s market.

05

I want a coach who’s been laid off too. Have you been through a layoff?

Yes. I’ve been through corporate downsizing, and I know the confusion and doubt that come with it. I also know what it feels like to come out of it with greater purpose and direction.

06

I’ve spent my whole career in one industry. Can you help someone like me?

Yes. I spent 30+ years as a Senior HR Business Partner across finance, insurance, energy, and hospitality, at Morgan Stanley, BlackRock, Lincoln Financial, Commonwealth Edison, and Delaware North. I know how hiring works inside large companies, whatever the field.

07

I’m not sure what to say to a recruiter. Can David check it before I send it?

Yes. Send me the email to the recruiter, the LinkedIn message, or the reply to the offer before it goes out. If you don’t know what to say, we write it together.

08

Does what I tell you stay between us?

Yes. What you tell me stays with me. It never goes to your employer, your network, or anyone else.
