The Ghosted Club

Bring back your inner unicorn.

They were keeping you updated. Oh no, they never were.

A four-week social club for women who are out of work, getting ghosted on every application, and would quite like to claw their way back in, as themselves, with 19 others who get it.

What we share

However you got here, this part is identical.

You apply, and then nothing. No rejection, no feedback, not so much as a bot saying we will be in touch. Just a void, and the void is not even sorry.

61% ghosted post-interview

You are application 287 of 400, and yours and the one right before it came out of the same AI, so best of luck standing out there.

400+ per role

You have been at this for months, alone, refreshing your inbox like it owes you money, and it is wearing you down.

~5 months on average

Nobody tells you what went wrong, so you keep tweaking the same CV in the dark and hoping.

80% of hiring managers admit it

It gets lonely, and it starts to mess with your head. The situation is hard, and feeling it makes complete sense.

2x anxiety and depression
How it works

One brave human thing a day. Together.

The market wants you to fire 200 near-identical applications into the void and call it a strategy. We do the opposite. One brave, human thing a day, toward one job you really want, in a room of people who cheer, out loud, when you hit send. The robots do the heavy lifting. You do the brave bit.

Monday

The masterclass. You learn the week's move.

Tue to Thu

Cowork and feedback. You do the brave thing and tell each other the truth.

Friday

The workshop. You go unicorn-hunting and build something that proves you.

Week1

Get your head straight and your engine running

The reset, your Claude setup, and the door-fit test that scores a role before you waste a brave move on it.

Friday: find your inner unicorn.
Week2

Do the cringe thing (it works)

Find a referral in. Message the hiring manager. Send something useful before you ask. The moves that feel mortifying and land interviews anyway.

Friday: turn your happy-skills into a plan, and pick your portfolio piece.
Week3

Read the silence

Turn a cold rejection into a critical eye. The real reasons a CV never gets read, and how to fix what is fixable.

Friday: build your piece, and a peer plays recruiter on your CV.
Week4

Land it as your unicorn self

The interview as a person. A bit of negotiation. And a plan to keep going after the cohort ends.

Friday: show your unicorn, then graduate.

Your application team

Set up your team. Then apply as you.

Most of a job search is clever-but-dull work: decoding the ad, tailoring the CV, digging up the company and the people. You build your application team once, in week one, then hand all of it over. They are weirdly good at exactly this, they never get tired, and they hand you back your time and your nerve for the only part that was ever really yours: applying as the most unmistakable, slightly mortifying, completely-you version of you. Meet the team.

Daphne the Decoder

Daphne reads the job ad and tells you what they are really screening for, under all the fast-paced-rockstar-ninja noise.

Sage the Scout

Sage digs up the company (healthy or sinking, hiring for real or not) and finds the actual humans: the hiring manager, someone who could refer you in.

Bea the Bouncer

Bea scores a role against your real criteria, your number, your level, who you would report to, and says at the door whether it is worth a brave move or whether you keep walking.

Taylor the Tailor

Taylor coaches you to make your CV unmistakably yours, digging out the achievements you forgot were impressive and phrasing them to stand out from the sea of identical, AI-written CVs.

Greta the Ghostwriter

Greta drafts the cringe message, the referral ask or the note to the hiring manager, so all you do is make it sound like you and hit send.

Romy the Recruiter

Romy gives your finished application a recruiter's once-over before you hit apply, catching the small thing that would have had them skim straight past you.

Daphne the Decoder, on the job
YouHere is a Director of Strategy ad. What are they really screening for, under the buzzwords?
DaphneThree real must-haves under the noise: owning a P&L, taking a strategy from slide to shipped, and managing stakeholders at board level. Mirror these exact words if they are true for you: commercial ownership, cross-functional, executive stakeholders. And "comfort with ambiguity" usually means the org is a bit of a mess, so ask about it in the interview.
Straight up

Know what you are signing up for.

What it is

  • [+] A daily room where you do one brave human thing toward a real job, and get cheered for it.
  • [+] Mondays to teach, Tuesday to Thursday to cowork, Fridays to find your unicorn.
  • [+] 20 women who get it, telling each other the truth.
  • [+] Your application team doing the slow, fiddly digging, so your energy goes where only you can.
  • [+] A real portfolio piece in hand, and your confidence up off the floor.

What it isn't

  • [x] A CV-blasting tool or an auto-applier. You stay human on purpose.
  • [x] A guru promising a six-figure offer in 30 days.
  • [x] Therapy, though a psychologist runs it and knows the difference.
  • [x] A networking group where everyone performs success.
  • [x] Passive. You show up, and you do the brave thing.
The awkward question

What if someone in there knows me?

Maybe someone will. You are 20 senior women in overlapping worlds, so the odds are not zero. So here is how it works. What is said in the room stays in the room, you share only what you want to, and you can keep your live target list to yourself. And even if you do end up workshopping your next application beside a direct competitor, you are both lost in the same pile of 400 LinkedIn applicants anyway, so does the one of them sitting in here really matter? You are all in the same boat, and pay-it-forward just means that the second you climb out, you reach back and pull the next one up.

Who it's for

20 women. Every entry point.

Maybe you were let go. Maybe you quit a manager you could not survive one more Monday with. Maybe a restructuring decided for you over a Zoom call that lasted four minutes. All of you are welcome, and the mix is the whole point: the quickest way to feel less alone is to sit beside someone who got here a completely different way and realize, oh, we are fighting the exact same monster.

Real faces land here once cohort one fills up.
  • Women, mid-senior or executive
  • Out of work and ghosted right now
  • A Claude subscriber (it is the engine, see above)
  • Willing to be a person, on purpose, out loud
What you'll get

What you walk away with.

The North Star

A career operating system for ambitious women.

The first place you think of when work goes sideways. The four-week cohort is the front door. Behind it grows everything a career needs and rarely has in one place: a strategist on call, a network that refers its own, a recruiter who answers to the members, interview practice, a salary backbone, and an alumni room where every woman who climbed out reaches back to pull the next one up.

The Ghosted Club stays the name on the door, the brand you reach for when your career hits turbulence. The cohort is where it starts.

The money

Deliberately backwards.

$100$5 a day, for four weeks

It is $5 a day, $100 for the whole four weeks, and here is the backwards part: you pay at the very end, and only if it helped. Get to week four feeling like it did nothing for you, and you owe me precisely zero. I would like to earn it, so the bill comes with full hindsight attached.

Apply

Yes, you have to apply.

To a club about being ghosted for applying. The irony is not lost on me. So here is the one difference that matters: this is the one place that will not ghost you back.

[+] Everyone who applies gets a real reply from me, a human, every time.
[+] Cohort one is a curated, deliberately mixed pilot of 20 women, varied backgrounds and entry points, so the compassion has somewhere to grow.
[+] If this round is not yours, you are first in line for the next cohort. Worst case, you are early.

So put your hand up. Tell me a little about you and your inner unicorn.

Whatever you tell me here stays with me. The others in your cohort will only ever know what you choose to say out loud in the room.
