The honest guide to getting hired.
Dedicated to my mom, Rosalyn
She would’ve had endless notes and critiques for me, but would have been proud that I wrote something at all.

She’s amazing. She originally made them for a book I was going to publish, but I turned it into this course!
Special thanks
To Madison and Jake for supporting me along the way. I finally did it!

About this course
Why?
Everyone needs a job, but there’s no college course on job hunting. Do Not Hire Me is just that. You’ll learn tips like: “Beat the resume-scanning AI bots.” Yes, it’s a real thing.
Your next job hunt is the one thing standing between you and a bigger paycheck, a kinder boss, or a better commute. This course cuts through all the chaos of the recruiting industry with engaging content, sarcasm, and brevity.
Why me?
I searched for a better job every year during my career of 20 years. I also got internet famous trying to land job in advertising, using advertising. I’ve also sat on both sides of the interview table.
Everyone should understand how the recruiting industry works and how to bend the rules in your favor. Getting hired is a hassle, but there are ways to make it faster and better for your mental health along the way.

This course is a collection of job hunting resources but I don’t guarantee you’ll get hired. Job hunting involves circumstances that are outside your control. I have no way of knowing how well you will do, because I don’t know you, your background, your work ethic, your dedication, your motivation, your desire, your financial situation, your educational background, or your business skills.
No guarantees are made that you will achieve any results from my ideas and techniques in my material.
By using this website, you recognize and agree that I have made no implications, warranties, promises, suggestions, projections, representations or guarantees whatsoever to you about future prospects or earnings, or that you will get hired, with respect to any Do Not Hire Me products or those recommended on this website.
You are advised to do your own due diligence when it comes to making career decisions. You should use caution and seek the advice of an accountant, lawyer, or professional advisor, before acting on this or any information. Nothing contained on the website (including materials available for sale, linked, or download from the website) provides professional advice in any way.
Legal jargon aside, I’m still rooting for you.
