Figure out WTF you want to do with your career so you can get unstuck and move towards work that feels good.

The best damn career navigation program out there for young professionals.

from Careergasm Founder Sarah Vermunt, featured at

You graduated. You got the degree.

But you're feeling lost and don't know what to do next.

✔ Anxiety is high, and you feel like you're under a lot of pressure to figure your shit out.

✔ You don't want to do what you want to school for and you're freaking out. OR...

✔ You do want to do what you went to school for, but you have no idea how to get started.

✔ You want to get unstuck and find a career that feels good and uniquely you.

✔ You'd love to be kicking ass in your career, but frankly you're lost as fuck.

You are not alone.

Did you know that 93% of 25-year-olds have different career goals than they did when they were 17?

That means that 93% of people who are at the beginning of their careers are going, Wait. What? I had this plan and it doesn’t feel good anymore. Shiiiit.

Maybe you're asking yourself stressful questions like:

How can I follow my dreams if I don't even know what they are?
How do I handle this pressure from people around me?
Should I go back to school?
Why didn't anyone tell me it would be this hard?!

**Career Rookie shifts anxiety into strategy — 8 weeks to help you dig deep and get career clarity so you can get moving in the right direction.**

It’s a shot of encouragement, a kick in the ass, and a loving push. Because you’re stuck and, dammit, you’d rather not be.

“This has given me direction and allowed me to pull the career answers I’ve been looking for from within myself. Sarah won’t tell you what you need, she’ll enable you to tell yourself.”

— Liam Oldershaw

"My direction and intentions feel more clear than ever thanks to your guidance! I feel much more confident applying for jobs and pursuing a career. Thank you again for all your help."

— Thulacy Sriakantha

"Thank you for helping me keep my face out of a bag of marshmallows this evening. I'm already starting to feel better."

— Nicole Scherbina

I believe so much in this program that you can try it risk-free for two weeks. If, for any reason, you're not feelin' it, I'll refund you your money. But I know you're gonna love it!

Frequently asked questions

HOW DOES THE PROGRAM WORK?

We tackle a new topic each week. Modules are broken into bite-sized chunks to make this feel fun and easy. Each week you'll receive access to another set of module videos and workbooks designed to tickle your brain, get you unstuck, and help you make a plan.

This is an 8 week program, plus 3 bonus weeks, PLUS it includes 6 months of LIVE coaching calls to support you even once the program modules are completed.

HOW DO THE LIVE MONTHLY VIDEO CALLS WORK?

The live monthly video calls are on the first Tuesday of each month at 1:00pm EST. During each call, I'll answer questions from the group and provide live coaching. (You'll be off camera, don't worry.)

You'll receive invitations and links for the calls when you sign up for the program.

WHAT IF I MISS ONE OF THE CALLS?

No problemo. You'll have access to the recordings when they're finished so you won't miss a thing. And you can post questions in advance even if you can't join us live.

HOW MUCH TIME WILL THIS TAKE?

About 2 hours a week. You'll be watching videos, completing worksheets and, eventually, taking action with specific bits of homework in the real world.

In addition, we'll have one LIVE group coaching call (1 hour) each month for 6 months, and how fast you make your moves is entirely up to you.

WHAT'S THE MONEY BACK GUARANTEE?

I believe so much in this program that you can try it risk-free for two weeks. If, for any reason, you're not feelin' it, I'll refund you your money. But I know you're gonna love it!

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

Just reach out. I'm happy to answer any questions you have. You can get in touch with me directly here.

This is for you if:

✔ You feel lost and like you're falling behind because you can't commit to a career path.

✔ You want to explore your options in creative ways. You don't want to just pick a box.

✔ You don't want to settle, but you don't want to flit around chasing a pipe dream either. You want a plan that actually feels good.

✔ You're down with exploring hard questions and blind spots.

✔ You're sick of feeling lost, and you're ready to get this career thing figured out.

This is not for you if:

✖ You only want help with your resume and cover letter. We'll get to that, but only after we figure out what you want.

✖ You want to do a career/personality assessment. Assessments can be fun, but they're also kind of, well, shallow — not nearly deep enough to base big life decisions on.

✖ You're not willing to explore your feelings. We have to go there. If you think career navigation is purely a rational process, you're nuts. It's largely emotional.

Still not sure if this is right for you? Just reach out. I'm happy to answer any questions you have. You can reach me directly here.

You could be unstuck and on your way in just a couple of months.

Do you have a plan to get there?

Here's what happens when you sign up:

1. You get immediate access to the first module so that you can get started right away. Hot diggity!

2. You'll receive an invitation to your first LIVE coaching call, so you're fully supported from the get-go.
