In 2020, I got laid off. Not for the first time. But this time felt different. I had spent more than two decades in corporate recruiting. Hiring for Amazon, FedEx, Ford, Korn Ferry. And when I suddenly found myself on the other side of the table, I realized how broken the whole thing was. Bad advice everywhere. Candidates being treated like they were lucky to be considered. An entire industry built around telling people to polish their resume instead of understanding how the game actually works. So I built A Life After Layoff. The idea was simple: share what actually happens behind closed doors. The stuff companies don't want candidates to know. The real reasons you're not getting callbacks. How layoff lists get built. What recruiters actually think when they read your resume. All of it. Six years later, ALAL has grown to over 650,000 followers across platforms, including 450,000 subscribers on YouTube, 150,000 on LinkedIn, and 75,000 on TikTok. The content has reached more than 100 million people worldwide and been featured in the Washington Post, Forbes, Business Insider, Newsweek, Fast Company, the LA Times, USA Today, Vox, the Huffington Post, MarketWatch, Sirius XM, and the Ramsey Network. The mission hasn't changed: help people stop being victims of the hiring process and start running their careers like a business. Now comes the next chapter. I've spent six years watching people struggle with the same problems over and over. Not because they aren't qualified. Because nobody ever gave them a real system. That's what Soor is. Soor is a career platform built by someone who spent 25 years on the other side of the hiring table. It starts with the job search, specifically with resumes, but it doesn't stop there. Every job you track, every win you log, every application you submit builds a picture of your career. Not just your search. Your career. That data stays, compounds, and becomes the foundation for everything that comes next. Most people navigate their entire career without ever having a real system behind them. That's what Soor is changing.

Soor was built by recruiters. For the people recruiters used to reject. I spent 25 years in corporate recruiting at companies like Amazon, FedEx, and Korn Ferry. In that time I screened tens of thousands of resumes, made hiring decisions on hundreds of roles, and watched qualified candidates get passed over constantly — not because they weren't good enough, but because they didn't know how the process actually worked from the inside. Soor is built on that knowledge. It's a resume and job search platform that helps job seekers build better resumes, track their job search, and approach the process the way recruiters do. No generic AI. No fabricated experience. Just a real methodology built from real hiring experience, finally working for the candidate instead of against them. A Life After Layoff is the methodology. Soor is where you put it to work. Learn more at letssoor.com.
A Life After Layoff is a career education brand built for job seekers who are tired of generic advice that doesn't work. I started ALAL in 2020 after getting laid off and realizing that everything I thought I knew about job searching — as someone who had spent years on the recruiting side — was wrong. Not because the advice was bad. Because it was built for a process that doesn't exist anymore. Nearly 700,000 people follow ALAL across YouTube, LinkedIn, and TikTok because the content doesn't talk down to job seekers. It tells them what's actually happening inside the hiring process, from someone who lived it professionally for 25 years. If you're just getting started, ALAL is where you learn how hiring actually works. If you're ready to put that into practice, Soor (letssoor.com) is the platform we built to do it for you.
