About Todd Linder

I help people in ministry 10X their interview rate for jobs that they love and support their family. And it all started with my own ministry job change.It took me 2 long years to transition out of my ministry job. 1 year to untangle the unhelpful beliefs. 1 year of job searching.Then I landed in corporate HR.Once I made the leap, friends in ministry asked me, “I’m trying to do the same thing, HOW DID YOU DO THAT?”So I started helping them get marketplace jobs for fun.In 2020, I started coaching job transitions full time.My Goal: To get YOU (ministry to marketplace job seeker) as many interviews as possible for jobs you want that will support your family.U.S. average: 1-2% of apps → interviewsOur average: 35+% of apps → interviewsU.S. average time to get first offer: 5-8 monthsOur average: 3.78 monthsAverage $42,782 income jumpHere\'s how we do it We start with a PROCESS that works so you don’t have to guess.This means:• Clarity on the job you want next.• Translate your experience so it makes sense to hiring managers.• Create resumes, LinkedIn profile, and cover letters that work.• Discovering organizations that want to hire you.• Find and connect with the right people that will help you get interviews.• Preparing for interviews.• Negotiating your offer = better pay.We do it in the context of COMMUNITY and SUPPORT.We have a community of others on the same ministry to marketplace journey.We provide robust support through tools, resources, resume writing, group and 1 on 1 calls.

I wish I would have started earlier in my process with Todd.”Brian Katauskas, Campus Pastor“I was in ministry for almost 20 years.

I feel like I\'ve gone from wondering who is going to hire me to… dang, who\'s going to hire me? I literally feel powerful in the job search because of Todd\'s help.”Jonathan Sharp, Cru Director“Todd helped me to get clarity on exactly what type of job I was looking for, why I was the perfect candidate for a very specific job.
