Get specific help with your tech job search.
Where to apply. How to apply. How to explain the work you've actually done when someone asks what you owned, why you made a call, or what changed.
Bring whatever is stuck. We'll spend an hour on it and you leave with a plan and written notes you can use.
See a sample reviewHere is one kind of work we'll do.
A useful interview answer makes your contribution visible. It also survives the next question. This fictional example shows how we recover the details without inventing a better result.
Fictional example. This is a demonstration, not a customer result.
The first answer
"I worked on the backend for an internal warehouse app. We had duplicate bookings from double clicks, so I fixed the database, added error handling, and tested it."
The questions that make it specific
- Which components did you own, and what belonged to the rest of the team?
- What exactly had to be unique? What happened when the database rejected a duplicate?
- What did you test? What remains untested or unmeasured?
The revised answer
"On a four-engineer team, I owned the reservation API and PostgreSQL schema for an internal warehouse pickup app. Rapid double clicks created duplicate attempts for the same order and pickup window. I added a unique constraint on that pair and handled the duplicate-conflict response in the server, then manually tested repeated clicks. We hadn't run concurrency or load tests, or measured production impact. I can explain the fix and the test, but I can't claim a percentage reduction."
The revision names the ownership, the failure, and the change. It gives the interviewer something concrete to question. The missing production measurement stays missing.
One session. Your actual search.
Use the hour on whatever matters most right now. Most people pick one or two of these:
- Where to apply. Which roles, companies, and levels fit your experience, and which ones are a waste of your time.
- How to apply. Cold applications, referrals, recruiters, and how to position your background so it reads clearly.
- Interview answers. Rehearse your work stories out loud and make them hold up under follow-up questions.
- A prep plan.What to practice, in what order, for the rounds you're likely to see.
I'm Josh C. Simmons. I work across software, writing, and media. You don't need an interview on the calendar to book.
This isn't algorithm tutoring or a resume rewrite service, and I can't get you a referral or a job.
What happens
- Send the context. Where you are in your search, the kind of roles you want, and what you want to work on. If you want to rehearse answers, add notes on a few work situations. Remove confidential company information.
- Work on it for 60 minutes.We talk through your search and your stories. I'll ask follow-up questions, point out what's unclear, and help you decide what to do next.
- Get written notes.The same day, you'll get a summary of what we decided, your next steps, and any revised answer outlines.
Bring what's stuck. We'll work on it.

A few things to know
Will this get me a job?
The deliverable is advice, rehearsal, and specific feedback. Hiring decisions depend on much more than this session. I don't promise an offer or represent any company's interview process.
What if I don't have impressive metrics?
We work with the evidence you actually have. A clear explanation of a decision, a constraint, or a test can be useful. We won't invent revenue, impact, or achievements.
How do scheduling and refunds work?
Reply with your availability and timezone after checkout. I'll respond within one business day to agree on a time. You can request a full refund before the session or within 24 hours afterward if it wasn't useful. If we can't find a workable time, you get a full refund. Read the full terms.
Will my information be published or recorded?
No recording is included. What you send is used to prepare and deliver your session. Remove company secrets and other people's personal information. Your material won't be used in public examples without separate permission.
