Get a job you love in the next 6 weeks
Make a move that inspires you without all the exhaustion, drama, and suffering.
Our aim is to help you get your next job in the next six weeks, no matter where you’re starting from and no matter how hard job searching has seemed in the past.
D’oh!
You just missed it.
Make a Move is now closed.
Join our community to be the first to now when the next cohort is open!
Watch the replay:
Job searching is hard, lonely, and sucky.
We’ve heard from our community that it’s tough out there.
- Fake job postings that waste your time
- Submitting countless resumes with no response
- Resumes lost to robo-screeners and AI filters
- The chaos of navigating the cesspool that is LinkedIn
- Uncertainty about your path and where you truly fit
- Lost confidence in your abilities
- Lack of clarity about what you really want
Why you can’t find your next job.
If finding jobs you truly want and are qualified for feels like searching for a needle in a haystack, you’re not alone. The truth is, the best jobs aren’t found through searches—they find you when you follow the right process.
And here it is:
The best jobs don’t show up in searches.
They’re hiding within your network. Yes, YOUR network, even if you suck at networking, hate it, and think you’re connected to all the wrong people.
So, to help the people you know help you make your next move, you first need three things:
- Confidence in yourself and the value you bring to any role, team, and organization
- Clarity about what you really want in your next role (hint: it’s not a title or salary)
- Communication tools to share the above with confident humility
In this program, we’re going to give you all of that.
Well, more accurately, we will guide you to create it yourself.
The rest is just a matter of gentleness, persistence, and patience.
We’re here to help with that too–through our supportive community, office hours, and huddles designed for accountability, camaraderie, and coaching.
How can we promise that?
It all comes down to experience and a lot of iteration.
Hi, I’m Angela, Founder of Happy at Work. Over 20 years ago, when I applied to business school, I wrote in my essays that I was dedicating my career to solving one fundamental problem: most people, on average, are deeply unhappy at work.
This pissed me off for two reasons:
1.
I like learning, and I like exerting myself. I have always felt that we’re entitled to enjoy those things—especially since most of us spend over half of our adult waking life at work.
2.
Human potential is achieved and expressed through joy, not suffering. If you’re not happy at work, you’re not fully realizing your impact or purpose.
That second truth has only deepened as I’ve grown older, wiser, and gentler.
I’ve spent the last 20 years delivering on the promise I made in my business school essays. Each step in my own career has brought me closer to understanding how we can all find happiness and fulfillment in our work.
So here’s what I’ve learned: while no two people walk the exact same path, the steps that lead to joy are the same for all of us. I’ve spent years breaking those steps down into smaller, actionable pieces—what I call Microskills—and teaching them to individuals and groups.
So far, I’ve helped thousands of people align with what truly makes them happy and fulfill their purpose through their work.
Because when work feels good, life is good. And that’s what we’re here for.
This course is brand new.
However, it’s drawing on ancient wisdom and tried and tested processes. If you sign up today, you’ll be the first person to go through it, with the rest of your unique pioneering cohort.
And if you’ve ever been the first to do something, you know. It can be a little messy, there can be unexpected twists and turns.
But there’s no time like the first time.
This will without a doubt be the highest-value version of this program, because I will be building it with you. You will get to help me shape it, and I will be experimenting and adding as we go to ensure it delivers maximum possible value.
Read what folks have said about our career development coaching...
“The best thing about Angela is that she'll be your individual cheerleader: She'll get to know you (not just as an applicant, but a friend!) and care about you over the process. Even when you're at your worst personally — exhausted, stressed, or on edge — she'll know what to say to keep you motivated, and help you grow in your own understanding of self (and therefore self confidence).”
Wharton Class of 2024 Admit
“Career Protocol boosted my self-confidence and made me chase my dreams. I worked with Angela for career coaching while applying to business school. Angela helped me think through my career choices and aspirations through the lens of my personality, and I found our sessions incredibly enlightening. No matter your career query, Angela will prepare you to pursue the right path and reach higher while heightening your self-awareness and confidence. THANK YOU, Angela!”
INSEAD MBA
“I’m so thankful to have gone through the unique self-discovery of it all, which was made possible by Angela/the Career Protocol method, as it has given me so much more confidence in myself and clarified my personal definition of a meaningful life. The process was by no means a walk in the park, but I could tell that Angela was genuinely invested in my growth and pushed me to really dig deep.”
CP Client
“This course starts with helping me know myself better and digging deep in myself. Then we will know it's the fit part that matters most in the recruiting cycle. It's been a wonderful time having Angela as a career coach.”
Rochester MBA
“I learned from Angela that it's not about getting ahead of the competition but getting started with yourself. What you are, what you like about yourself and what you want to do with your time and your life before, during and after the MBA.”
Fuqua MBA
“Thanks to the deep work we did, I'm moving into this new phase in life with confidence I’ve never had before and clarity I’ve never had before. That’s really accelerated my own progression in my professional life.”
Wharton MBA
“I truly believe the Career Protocol process of making informed decisions for your future by looking inward works, and I highly recommend them to anyone interested in pursuing an MBA or trying to find happiness in their career.”
Kellogg MBA
“Angela has empowered me to become more confident with myself both personally and professionally, and helped me discover myself in ways that I had not imagined were possible. Some calls even felt like therapy sessions where I learned how to embrace my weaknesses and to come up with ways to turn my fears into strengths.”
CP Client
“I tackled my biggest fear: unaccomplished potential – not coincidentally the top of the list of Angela’s priorities – by taking a leap of faith, except that this time I felt like I did it with supersonic goggles, a road map, strategy, timeline and a plan.”

This program will never happen again quite like this.
You will be joining Cohort A of this program. It will be small, intimate, and highly impactful. You’ll get the very best I have to offer en route to your next career step.
What the program entails
Over the next six weeks,
I will guide you through a step-by-step process to…
Kick off the process based on genuine self-appreciation, strengths, and confidence; we’ll take the doom and fear out of the process right away
Refine your understanding of what you really want and develop the skills to know it when you see it (and to reject jobs that don’t fit you)
Let your friends do the heavy lifting for you while deepening your relationships in the process (this is the magical part – those of you who hate networking are going to love this)
Learn how to shine as your authentic self in interviews while endearing yourself to your future teammates
All of this makes the process fun, fulfilling, and joyful. Not to mention, way more successful as a result.
What’s different about this class?
Well, I have honestly never come across another class on getting a job. It’s a skillset I wasn’t even taught during my MBA. While I am sure there are in fact such programs out there, even probably very good ones, here’s what makes this program different:
- You’re not alone: the community component of this program is the main event, not a bolt-on.
- In all things, we work with our human nature (and our innate values of kindness and generosity), not against it.
- Throughout the course, you’re not just achieving a short-term goal, you’re growing as a person, which means…
- You’ll emerge with greater clarity about who you are, more courage to be true to yourself, and with greater capacity to influence positive outcomes in your career and in your professional life.
How does it work?
The class consists of an online curriculum of lessons in videos and workbooks that will require up to five hours a week to complete.
This is accompanied by live interactive workshops every week to deepen the process, troubleshoot implementation, and help you make the most of your job search process.
There will be much more than that as we go.

Want to know more details?
The program begins January 22 at noon Eastern time. That’s our community kick-off call.
It will continue through March 5.
During that time you’ll work through the sequential curriculum with your community and join weekly community calls (mostly on Monday and Wednesday middays Eastern time). All calls are recorded and shared, and you can submit questions in advance. So, even if you don’t join all the calls, you won’t miss any of the value.
After that point, if you haven’t made a move, you’ll have continued access to the program
and community office hours and huddles through May 1.
If you’ve done all the work of the program and still haven’t made a move by May 1,
you’re eligible for our Success Guarantee (see below).
The program comes with bonuses, of course.
Beyond the core of the Make a Move curriculum, we’re also including our industry leading career development resources to help ensure you are putting your very best foot forward at each step. This includes:
The Badass Resume Protocol
A comprehensive mini-course in resume writing that will ensure you never have to pay anyone to help edit your resume ever again.
The Interview Hero Training program
A comprehensive interview training with a human edge. Stand out with confident humility, build emotional connections, be the person they naturally want on their team.
How to Network Without Feeling Like an A-Hole
The first 10 people who sign up and pay in full will get a free US Kindle copy of my comprehensive networking eBook.
More stuff we will scheme up as we go.
You might notice I used the word comprehensive in all three bonuses. That is just because I don’t do anything half-assed.
If I am going to put work into doing something, I am going to make sure it is the best version of that thing available. You can check out the Amazon reviews of those last two resources to see what I mean.
This program is not for you if…
You’re not planning to find a new job in the next three months.
If you just want to deepen your self-awareness, communication, and relationship skills, consider joining the next Happy at Work Purpose Incubator Program, starting in February of 2025.
This program is designed to get you results. For some of you, it will happen during the first intensive six weeks of the program. To maximize the chances of that, you should plan to spend at least five hours a week on your job search in the first six weeks of this program.
