Uplift: A 10-Week Job Search Accelerator for Mid-Career Professionals
Structured, personal, 1:1 support to get your stalled job search moving again.
You have the experience. You know, roughly, what you’re looking for. But between full days of work and a life that doesn’t stop, your job search has stalled.
Not failed. Not given up. Just stalled. Some weeks you do a bit. Most weeks, nothing. Then Monday starts again.
That’s not a motivation problem. It’s a structure problem. And structure is exactly what Uplift gives you.
What is Uplift?
Uplift is a 10-week, 1:1 job search accelerator for mid-career professionals in Australia and New Zealand. Not a course. Not group coaching. Personal, focused support built around accountability, energy, and momentum, so you always know what to do next, and someone’s always paying attention.
How it works
Uplift runs over 10 weeks with a clear rhythm: a session every two to three weeks, email check-ins on the weeks in between. Something happens every single week.
| Week | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1 | Session 1 – Foundation Session (60 minutes). We build your 3 Sorting Buckets, set up your tracker and toolbox, and agree on your accountability rhythm for the next 10 weeks. |
| 2 | Email check-in from Emmy |
| 3 | Session 2 – Accountability and Action (30 minutes) |
| 4 | Email check-in from Emmy |
| 5 | Email check-in from Emmy |
| 6 | Session 3 – Accountability and Action (30 minutes) |
| 7 | Email check-in from Emmy |
| 8 | Email check-in from Emmy |
| 9 | Session 4 – Closing Session (30 minutes) |
| 10 | Final email: celebration and next steps |
Maximum access is 12 weeks, so there’s room if life gets in the way. But the 10-week rhythm is built to keep your energy up and your search moving.
The 3 Sorting Buckets
One of the biggest energy leaks in a job search is treating every application the same. In Session 1, we build your 3 Sorting Buckets, so every role gets sorted before you spend a minute on it.
Most job seekers scatter their energy across everything. This framework helps you focus yours where it counts.

Who Uplift is for
Uplift is designed for mid-career professionals who have enough clarity about what they want and need help making it happen. You are probably one of three people:
Still employed but disengaged. You know something needs to change. You just haven’t made it happen yet.
Actively searching but losing momentum. The energy you started with has quietly disappeared.
Recently made redundant and stalling. The initial push has faded, and every rejection hits harder.
What you have in common: a full life, real constraints, and a job search that deserves more focused attention than you have been able to give it alone.
Need deeper work first, exploring what you actually want rather than how to get it? Start with the Career Alignment Blueprint instead. Uplift is for when you already have clarity and need help executing.

Your investment
Uplift is priced to be genuinely accessible for mid-career professionals. The price reflects the level of personal attention the program requires: 4 sessions, regular check-ins, direct feedback, and a complete toolkit.
Payment is upfront and in full. Once you enrol, you book your Foundation Session directly in my calendar. It is that straightforward.
I work with a small number of Uplift clients at a time. That is intentional. The level of attention this program requires deserves it.
A note from Emmy
I built Uplift because I kept seeing the same thing: talented, experienced people who knew what they wanted but couldn’t get traction alone. Not because they were doing it wrong. Job searching with a full life happening around you is genuinely hard. The accountability evaporates. The energy dips. The search drags.
What I know from a decade of working with mid-career professionals: the people who move fastest aren’t the most qualified. They’re the most consistent. And consistency is easier with someone keeping you accountable and a clear framework to follow.
That’s what Uplift is. If you’ve been thinking about getting proper support, this is a good time to start.
Two ways to take the next step.
Enrol directly and book your Foundation Session, or grab a free 15-minute call first if you have questions. Either way, I’d love to work with you.
