Career Breakthrough is a focused online course that helps experienced professionals stop getting ghosted on job boards, and advance their career with intention instead of hope.
Get hired. Get promoted.
Any of this sound familiar?
You've done what most people are told to do: Update your resume. Optimize your LinkedIn. Scroll through Indeed and LinkedIn Jobs for hours, hitting “quick apply” and submitting more applications than you can keep track of.
And the results? Silence. Or worse: you get an interview, feel like it went well, and then… nothing.
The job market doesn't reward the most qualified candidate, it rewards the most visible one. And most professionals have never been taught how to communicate their value in a way that gets noticed by the people who actually make hiring decisions.

What’s really happening? You’re not being rejected. You’re being overlooked.
You’ve worked hard to get where you are, but you don’t have a clear plan for what’s next.
You’re not sure what truly differentiates you beyond your job description.
You’ve been told to “network,” but no one has shown you what that actually looks like.
You’ve relied mostly on job boards and “Quick Apply” instead of real conversations.
You've applied to positions you were genuinely qualified for and never heard back.
You feel like your experience and skills are worth more than your current title or paycheck reflects.
You CAN become the obvious choice for the roles you want, and I’ll show you how.
That lack of clarity shows up everywhere in the process. The top candidates who get hired usually have one thing dialed in: they know what makes them valuable, and they communicate it consistently in their resume, LinkedIn profile, and interviews.
You’re probably qualified for the jobs you’re applying for, but that isn’t enough anymore. You have to be clear, memorable, and easy to say yes to.
My name is Bret Harris, and for more than 25 years I’ve worked as both an operational executive and an executive recruiter. I’ve reviewed tens of thousands of resumes, conducted thousands of interviews, and hired leaders across multiple industries.
For much of my career, I was paid to identify the top 1% of candidates—the people companies could not afford to miss. And through this work,

After a fairly long hiatus, I wanted to get back into an industry in which I had worked before. While I was confident in my ability to jump back in, enough "HR stuff" had changed and evolved since my departure that left me feeling stranded and with little hope of retooling my resume. Bret, in a very short time, helped me rewrite my entire resume to be "noticed" and positively "flagged" as I began my search back into my area of interest. Very soon thereafter, I not only got a job allowing me to re-enter my former industry, I secured one with my #1 employer. Bret's expertise cannot be overstated.

A resumé that works. A network that opens doors. An interview you walk into with confidence. It's all here, built on 25 years of knowing exactly what hiring managers are actually looking for.
A few common questions—
What if I'm not very far into my career?
The course was designed with mid-career professionals in mind, people making their second or third move. That said, the identity and positioning work in Lessons 1–3 is valuable at any stage. If you're early in your career, the networking strategy alone could put you years ahead of your peers.
How is this different from hiring a career coach?
A single session with a career coach runs $150–$300, or more. Career Breakthrough gives you the framework, tools, and exercises Bret has developed over 25 years, and you keep lifetime access. If you want ongoing 1:1 support after the course, that's something you can explore with Bret directly.
I've already updated my resume and LinkedIn. Is there still value here?
Almost certainly. Most people update their resume and LinkedIn without a strategy behind it—they make it look better without making it work harder. Career Breakthrough teaches you how to build those materials around a clear professional identity and a targeted outreach strategy, which is a fundamentally different approach.
Is this for someone actively job searching, or can I use it if I'm still employed?
Both. Most people who get the most out of this course are still employed—they're not in crisis mode, which actually means they can be more strategic. If you're actively searching, the course will immediately sharpen your approach. Either way, the skills you build here will serve you for the rest of your career.

How long does the course take?
Career Breakthrough includes 6 video lessons (4–6 minutes each) plus PDF workbooks you'll work through independently. You can move through it in a weekend if you focus, or take it at your own pace over a few weeks. The exercises are the part that takes real time, and they're also the part that actually moves the needle.
