Job Hunting Accelerator:
Get a 25%+ Pay Bump Without the Job Hunt Headaches
For the confused high achiever who’s tired of trying to figure it all out by yourself and is ready for a career upgrade that actually pays off.
You’re smart, ambitious, and great at what you do — so why does job hunting feel like a never-ending maze of ghosting, rejection, and missed opportunities?
Welcome to The Bumpy Career’s Job Hunting Accelerator, where I help high-achieving but confused professionals land their next best role without wasting months second-guessing their strategy.
You’ll go from stuck and overwhelmed to hired with a bigger paycheck in just 90 days. No awkward interviews. No more throwing applications into the void.
Just a proven, clear-cut strategy that gets results.
The Job Hunting Accelerator works in 3 phases:
This isn’t about hoping a recruiter finally notices you. We take control of your job search, using my framework aka The Bumpy Career’s 4 Step Navigator approach to get you hired faster, with a salary that reflects your true worth.
Phase 1: Application Arsenal (Weeks 1-4)
We build an application package so strong that you’ll get tired of all the interview invites you receive:
Your masterfile resume that we’ll customize to get past ATS systems (no more constant editing)
A LinkedIn profile that gets you noticed by recruiters (my students receive 3x more recruiter outreach)
1 tailored cover letter that you can adapt for any position (so you don’t have to write a new one from scratch for every application)
🚏Checkpoint 1: Get 5+ interview invitations within 30 days 🚏
Phase 2: Interview Mastery (Weeks 5-8)
You don’t need to “fake confidence.” You need a system for walking into interviews knowing exactly how to answer and impress to move to the next stage:
My STAR method templates for answering the 20 most common questions
Salary negotiation script that has increased offers by 15-30% and will keep you calm for any question
Mock interview sessions with personalized feedback
🚏Checkpoint 2: Successfully pass at least 2 final-round interviews 🚏
Phase 3: Offer Acceleration (Weeks 9-12)
More job offers. More leverage. More money in your pocket. Here’s how we’ll do that:
Company research templates that impress hiring managers
Negotiation tactics to increase your starting salary and ideal benefits
Decision matrix to evaluate competing offers for what’s the absolute best for you
🚏Checkpoint 3: Receive and accept an offer for 25%+ more than your previous salary 🚏
HOW THIS WORKS
🧰 4 one-on-one coaching calls (60 minutes each)
90% of students only need 3 calls to finish hitting their goals. The last 10% use the 4th call to plan the next 3 years of their career.
🧰 Unlimited text coaching via private messaging (24-hour response time)
You can text me anything from “How should I follow up with this recruiter?” “Can I send out this email as is or do I need to edit?” to “When should I quit my job considering my bonus season and the start date?” and I’ll always reply to you.
🧰 All templates, scripts, and resources included
You will not build ANYTHING from scratch. I’ll give you the plug-and-play templates that work best.
🧰 Lifetime access to all program materials and updates
Real Clients. Real Results.
“After just 6 weeks in Justine’s program, I received 3 job offers. When I job hunted by myself, I got none. The best offer increased my salary by 70%. The interview preparation and negotiation scripts were invaluable.”
“I was stuck in my job search for months before working with Justine. Within 8 weeks, I landed a job offer and went through the rest of my job hunt with a lot less worries. The resume rewrite, portfolio review, and LinkedIn optimization made all the difference.”
“I was getting ghosted by recruiters until I used Justine’s application system. After implementing her strategies, I had 6 interviews in 2 weeks and received an offer with a 50% salary increase.”

"Before receiving Justine's templates and going through the consultations, I was at a crossroads on the next step I wanted to pursue and I didn't have a lot of confidence with how I've crafted my resume to look for my next job. She provided honest insights and tips in our consultations that I put a lot of value on and have given me a clearer understanding of the next step I should take.
I appreciate how genuine she is when it comes to giving me pieces of advice to put myself out there. I really think we all need a Justine in our lives to push ourselves to go for the right direction that will help our individual careers.
Talking to her has increased my accountability to work harder towards my goal, and the templates have been a huge help in polishing my resume and creating value out of it. The homework after every consultation has helped me a lot as well to break down the next steps and put my goal into perspective.
I've been reading her blog long before I availed of her templates, and I've been convinced since that Justine would be able to help me out. Working with her proved me right."
- Joyce F., marketing consultant who transitioned to creative director
What Do I Expect From You?
To listen, understand, ask questions, and immediately apply what I say.
If you want to see success quickly like my best students who landed job offers they love, you need to come in with a sense of urgency and a ton of motivation to work on your new career track ASAP.
That means:
doing the homework
following up if you don’t understand something and need me to explain it in a different way
asking questions and being proactive
In short, you need to be committed to learning my approach as this is an investment in your career development. If you put in the work, you will always get better results than expected.
Being great at your job and landing another better job are 2 extremely different challenges, and few people have the skills for both. So you just need to be good at the first part, and I’ll handle the second.
Despite having freelance experience & co-curricular activities before graduating, I still had a lot of anxieties when it comes to job-hunting.
How can you strategically nitpick your experience since high school and college into (ideally) one page? Knowing that CVs and resumes are the first impressions of every company you send it to, especially if your ideal industry is known to be very competitive. How can you stand out?
Applying for TBC's Work With Me-Job Hunting Consultation is one of my best career preparation decisions I ever made. I was able to determine achievements that I didn’t even realize I had before.
There were other factors that I didn’t know had so much value, that I honestly wish I was able to place in my resume when I was applying for my internship.
Ever since those consultations, I also realized that I had bad habits of not saving portfolio-worthy collaterals in my Gdrive and not properly quantifying everything I did to further prove my achievements. Justine also clarified misleading resume advice that others gave me before.
In a week, I received 6 invitations for interviews, 1 invitation for an exam, and 12 replies from emails for company career event invitations, & confirmations that my resume is forwarded to their superiors (HR Executive, Managing Director, Executive Creative Director, & so on). I 100% recommend Job Hunting Consultations from Justine as it is guaranteed great progress in job hunting.
- Jas Sapida, former freelancer transitioning to a full time job; 6 interviews, and 12 replies from cold emails in one week
Every peso was well spent when I reached out to Justine if she could help out in fixing my resume. Fast forward to today, I was able to secure a final interview with one of the hardest FMCGs to get into and I owe everything to her because she went beyond the editing of my resume. She was with me every step of the process and I couldn’t thank her enough for answering all my questions regarding what to expect in the interview process as well.
If you want to jumpstart your career or need a reboot, then Justine is the person for you! I'll recommend her every time because that’s how impressive she is.
- Nico R., 3 job offers in 2 weeks, 7/7 cold emails sent got a reply back, final interview with top FMCG company
I came to Justine because I was in the midst of a career direction crisis and didn't know anything about the corporate world and the job hunt process. I really liked how she can take a big messy problem and methodically dissect it into bite-sized issues that we can address practically. She is straightforward and insightful --- she won't mince words just to make you feel better, which I really appreciated.
I also felt that she was genuinely rooting for me and was on my side during the entire process, and I would recommend the resume consultation service to people who also feel lost and need a mentor to encourage them take action instead of sitting paralyzed.

FAQs:
🙋Can we start immediately? And finish immediately?
Yes, so long as you do all your homework right away. We can do it in 3 days if you like, I’m happy to be flexible to your schedule. It all depends on your pace. Please note: I hate when people come to calls with unfinished or underprepared HW, so make sure you’re ready.
🙋What else can we do instead of job hunting?
So there’s 3 other tracks we can do to fast-track your career
higher education applications - where we will prepare for your masters or PhD application. We can start from deciding which ones to apply for or we can jump right into editing all your essays, motivation letters, and recommendation letters.
personal brand building - where we will build out your online presence via LinkedIn and portfolio, and then what’s your networking strategy to get noticed.
career planning - where we will do a strategy planning session of what does the next 3-5 years look like for you, then we plan out what you’ll be doing for the next 3-6 months to move towards it. This is more of research, reflection, and discussions so you make the right next moves.
🙋Can I see more testimonials from your previous students?
Sure sure, you can either
check out my #TBCResults here. I’m doing my best to write up as many as I can, but there are 100+ to document.
or you can check out my IG highlights! Fun fact: I’ve sent so many students into P&G that they send me a Christmas package from P&G products.
Down below, I’ll also add testimonials from my previous students whenever I can.
"I have a hard time expressing my ideas during interviews, most especially with behavioral interview questions. I actually already had a good CV which attracted HR and hiring managers to interview me.
But after more than 20 company interviews, I felt like I would never be able to get my first job, despite having many achievements during college and having an electronics engineer’s license.
So I sought Justine's help through her TBC resume consultation service and it was a blessing that I got to know her career blog 3 years ago. Justine helped me correct most of the mistakes I do during interviews and she guided me in organizing my ideas. She even gave me tips on how I can calm myself before, during, and after the interview and answer interview questions regarding salary expectations.
In just two months of doing everything she advised me for job interviews, I landed my first job as DevOps Engineer in one of the top IT companies in the Philippines. Not only is it my first job, but it is a role that I really love doing.
Justine is not only a career adviser, but also a friend and mentor who encouraged me to do my best during job interviews.
- Kyle Atendido, DevOps Engineer
It was really difficult to find a job after quitting my previous job where I worked for only three months. I left because I didn’t find the growth I needed and how the job wasn’t for me. However, I was stereotyped to a typical milennial that quits because I just got bored/tired/impatient.
For a while, I got really down and started to lose my confidence in job hunting. This is when I decided to consult with Justine on my resume and how to go to interviews.
The templates she gave me were really great and it showcased my strengths. She guided my through the whole process of creating my resume. After that, she gave tons of useful advice for interviews about how I can properly answer and adapt to any situation.
Justine really gave me that boost of confidence to look for another job again. In the end, I got accepted to one of the top ICs companies in the world! Thank you Justine!
- A. Porta, Supply Chain Planner
"Having recently graduated I've been at an impasse in terms of the direction I wanted to go specifically for my career! I knew that I had some skills and interests, but I didn't really know how I could leverage them into a job that I'd be happy in.
Given my state of my mind at the time, I felt the need to search for something or someone who could help put my mind at ease so I sought out Justine knowing that she provides consultation services to confused individuals like myself.
At first I wasn't sure what I'd actually get out of this experience, but after talking to Justine and going through her consultations I have come to be more confident in myself and my career prospects. Though at times she'd really grill me down, I believe her sheer honesty and lack of sugar coating really helped me in understanding how I can grow, and through what ways I can actually develop myself.
Overall I'd say it was a great experience, and I highly recommend Justine's consultations especially if you've found yourself in a position like myself."
- Rob Nazal, Investment Analyst
"During my senior year, I barely knew anything about applying for a job, from making sure my resume and portfolio stand out to answering interview questions properly. Because that worried me, I signed up for Justine's Work with Me-Resume Consultation.
For 2 months, I had 6 phone calls with Justine, who helped fix my resume and structure my portfolio. She also gave me advice on how to approach interview questions and shorten my answers.
Beyond the resume consultations she provides, Justine isn't afraid of being honest with me — she points out my areas of improvement and suggests ways on how I can work on them. If there's anything Justine said that helped me the most, it's having a positive mindset before an interview.
I applied this to my interviews and did 10 times better than I had imagined — I felt relaxed and articulated my thoughts clearly. Thanks to Justine, I landed a job at First Circle and am now working there as a Product Designer. "
- Frances To, Product Designer
"Justine not only provided me with crucial advice for my graduate school application, she also became one of my most supportive friends throughout the entire process. Applying to my dream school turned me into an anxious mess. However, she helped me put things into perspective and reassured me that I already had everything I needed; I just needed to market myself better.
The statement of purpose is one of the most important requirements; it gives you a voice to set yourself apart from other applicants. Justine reminded me to tell my story: Who is Mon Sato? How can her previous background and experiences contribute to their incoming class? How can she improve society after graduation?
Justine guided me through journey of introspection—of knowing what I really want to do with my life and made me realize that I could do anything I set my mind to. I am now working two Research Assistant positions at Georgetown University's Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service after completing my first semester. Classes resume at the end of this month and I cannot wait to head back."
- Monica Michiko Sato, M.A. Candidate in Security Studies, Georgetown University, Washington, D.C.
"Way before I even graduated, I had already set my sights on a specific company I wanted to apply in. Justine’s services was the key to marketing my resume into the perfect applicant for the open position I was aiming for. My biggest challenge back then was how best to translate my experiences into key highlights and being able to express them in the interview. But for Justine, this was as easy as letting me follow her steps and suggestions. Thanks to her services, I was completely sure that I was going to get the job offer that I only sent my resume to this one company.
I had full confidence in Justine’s skills to filter my skills and to present them in the best way possible. Thanks to her consultations and follow-ups, I felt that I was fully prepared for the interview months before I even sent out my resume.
True enough, thanks to her help the panel of interviewers I had immediately decided to hire me on that day. When I asked them what was their deciding factor, each of them gave me the following response. First was how my resume template stood out among the rest they received, which Justine suggested I don’t use the standard template. Second was how well-rounded my background was, with her suggestion to highlight my Thesis, Org work, and Corporate Internship on the resume. Finally on how I connected both my minors (English Literature and Decision Science) to the work that was expected of me: which is to understand the narrative of information, and to be able to interpret and explain the company’s data to others. All of which I credit Justine for helping me prepare for the interviews with.
I would attest that her system worked perfectly for me. Her systematic and logical approach paired with her personal face-to-face meetings made sure that there were no questions I couldn’t answer and no scenario I wasn’t prepared for during the interview. I highly recommend her products and services to everyone seeking to improve themselves. From those who have no idea where to start up to those who want have specific goals in mind, Justine has answers and suggestions for them all."
- Mendel M., got into his dream company
"I credit Justine for helping me get into my job now at a top local bank. She really helped clean up my resume while I was job-hunting months after graduating.
Her insightful and effective comments helped me think from the perspective of a hiring manager. I promise you — after I sent out the resume that she cleaned up, I ended up getting more follow-ups from various companies in 1 week than I got from 3 months of job hunting on my own.
Forever grateful to Justine for all the assistance she extended to me during such a tough point in my life — job hunting straight out of college.
