Uplift: The 10-Week Job Search Program for Mid-Career Professionals

 

Introducing Uplift: A 10-Week Job Search Accelerator for Mid-Career Professionals

If your job search has stalled and you are tired of going it alone, this is for you. Uplift is structured, personal, 1:1 support that gets your search moving and keeps it moving.

You have the experience. You know, roughly, what you are looking for. But somewhere between the full days of work, the evenings that disappear, and the pressure building quietly in the background, your job search has stalled.

Not failed. Not given up. Just stalled.

You do a bit some weeks. Nothing other weeks. Sunday comes around and there is a familiar guilt about the applications you meant to send, the LinkedIn profile you meant to update, the roles you meant to research.

And then Monday starts again.

This is not a motivation problem. It is a structure problem. And structure is exactly what Uplift is built to give you.

What is Uplift?

Uplift is a 10-week, 1:1 job search accelerator designed specifically for mid-career professionals in Australia and New Zealand. It is not a course. It is not group coaching. It is personal, focused support from a coach who is completely invested in your search.

The program is built around three things: accountability, energy, and momentum. You always know what to do next. And you always know someone is paying attention.

How it works

Uplift runs over 10 weeks with a clear rhythm. Sessions every fortnight, 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 Session 3 – Accountability and Action (30 minutes)
6 Email check-in from Emmy
7 Session 4 – Accountability and Action (30 minutes)
8 Email check-in from Emmy
9 Session 5 – Closing Session (30 minutes)
10 Final email: celebration and next steps

Maximum access is 12 weeks, so if life gets in the way, there is room. But the 10-week structure is designed to keep your energy up and your search moving.

The 3 Sorting Buckets

One of the biggest energy leaks in a job search is applying for everything with the same level of effort. A role you are genuinely excited about gets the same CV as one you applied for out of mild panic.

The first thing we build together in Session 1 is your 3 Sorting Buckets. Every role, every company, every application gets sorted before you spend a minute on it.

Green
Great Fit
Your target roles. Full energy. Best application.
Yellow
Soft Landing
Good roles worth pursuing. Solid effort, realistic expectations.
Red
Not For Us
Consciously deprioritised. Knowing your no saves energy for your yes.

Most job seekers scatter their energy across everything. This framework helps you focus yours where it counts.

What is included

  • 5 x 1:1 coaching sessions via Zoom (Session 1 is 60 minutes, Sessions 2 to 5 are 30 minutes each)
  • Email check-ins every alternating week, directly from me – not a template, not automated
  • Feedback on your CV, cover letters, and applications via Loom video or email
  • Job Search Tracker – a Google Sheet organised around your Sorting Buckets
  • AI Prompts Kit for Career Changers – 25 copy-and-paste prompts across 7 categories
  • CV Templates – multiple professional formats ready to adapt
  • LinkedIn Optimisation Kit – a step-by-step video and checklist

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. Forced back to the office, dreading work, knowing something needs to change but not finding the time or energy to act on it.

Actively searching but losing momentum. You started with energy. It has quietly faded. Every rejection hits harder than it should.

Recently made redundant and stalling. The initial push has faded. Applications are going out but nothing is landing and you are not sure why.

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.

If you need to do deeper work first – exploring what you actually want, not just how to get it – Uplift may not be the right first step. That work happens in my Career Alignment Blueprint. Uplift is for when you have enough clarity and need help executing.

Your investment

Uplift is priced to be genuinely accessible for mid-career professionals. The full price reflects the level of personal attention the program requires – 5 sessions, weekly check-ins, direct feedback, and a complete toolkit.

Full Price
$497
AUD, pay upfront
Launch Price
$297
AUD – closes 8 June

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 could not get traction on their own.

Not because they were doing it wrong. Because job searching alone, with a full-time life happening around you, is genuinely hard. The accountability evaporates. The energy dips. The search drags.

What I know from working with mid-career professionals for over a decade is that the people who move fastest are not the most qualified. They are the most consistent. And consistency is much easier when someone is keeping you accountable and you have a clear framework to follow.

That is what Uplift is. Structured, personal, and built entirely around keeping your search moving until you are across the line.

The launch price closes on 8 June. If you have been thinking about getting some proper support, this is a good time to start.

Two ways to take the next step.

Enrol directly and book your Foundation Session, or book a free 15-minute call if you have questions first. Either way, I would love to work with you.
