After a layoff

a clearer starting point

You do not need to apply to hundreds of jobs.

You need to know where your experience fits, which titles to search, and which postings deserve your time before you rewrite a resume.

Built after a Microsoft layoff in our family

Afterglow started when my husband was laid off from Microsoft. The hardest part was not finding job postings. It was figuring out which ones were actually worth his time when companies call similar work completely different titles.

Upload your resume. Afterglow shows your career sweet spot, target titles, Boolean searches, companies to explore, and titles to skip. The core strategy stays free.

When you find a posting, Worth It? scores fit against your resume and flags risks before you spend an evening tailoring an application for a role that was never a match.

What you get for free

  • Career sweet spot, target titles, and Boolean searches
  • Companies to explore and titles to avoid
  • Three Worth It? analyses per month
  • Curated career insights on My strategy

Optional Pro adds more Worth It? room, Career insights+, Guided search+, and networking guidance. Founding Pro is $39/month or $299/year while your subscription stays active.
